1001 Albums Summary

I love hearing albums that helped form me in my youth, but that I don't have in my collection.

Awesome album!

I learned of this when it was new and bought it then. Great collaborations!

Wow! I never heard of these guys before. Very powerful

I wasn't familiar with this. From this time period I appreciate After the Gold Rush and Harvest more than this.

Well, this could be the 1001st time I've listened to this classic work. Great stuff.

Fantastic album!

Some good musical ideas in here. But, I get bored quickly with bloviated, self- aggrandizing lyrics.

I've had a few other Dire Straights and Knopfler albums, but somehow never studied this one. This is a great piece of work!

Interesting music. I was not familiar with hime before

That was fun! Listening to this inspired me to do a Doors binge yesterday

Very nice listen

Interesting stuff. Wasn't familiar with them before.

I appreciate the talent, but no my cup of tea at all.

I had never heard of these guys before. This music made me move! I really liked this disc. I listened to the Expanded Version, which has many versions of several of their songs. It's a great showing of their creativity and command of different styles of music and recording.

Iconic

If you look at Scott’s lyrics out of context of the music, some of it actually okay poetry. But the aimless music makes it sounds like rambling drivel.

Very weird, but fun.

One of my favorites. Nobody addresses poetry in music quite like Kate.

Very nice 70s jazz.

Wow! That was fun! Most of it seemed more like rock than funk, though, which surprised me. A great piece of work regardless.

Great voice and delivery. Such an icon! I never did establish an ear for the kind or orchestration that was used for this album, though.

A great piece of work

This one didn't do much for me. It had some good lyrics, but the music didn't move me at all.

I had never heard this before. Very nice work

Brilliant as usual for 10cc

Good music that must have been very unusual to the American ear when it was first released

This was a delightful find! I really like her raw style. I had to go listen to another one of her albums right away.

I was familiar with Jack White and the White Stripes, but had never engaged in listening to them. This is great stuff!

A classic for sure! So many great songs, here. I bought this one in high school. Alas, the stars never aligned so that I could see them live. I think I would have enjoyed that.

This had many interesting styles and constructs. I would have enjoyed discovering it earlier in life!

I really enjoyed this disc from another artist I'd never heard of.

Never been a big metal fan, but this was a very nice trip down memory lane.

I still remember the first time I heard this when I was in high school. I've always thought it was great, and it opened the door to all of Traffic's great music.

This was among the sound track of my freshman year in high school. It was great to hear it again, though it's not going to climb back into my regular playlist.

A real classic western crooner. I recall several of these songs from my childhood.

I didn't click with punk when it first came out. I've come to appreciate it over time.

Beth Gibbons' voice is mesmerizing. I don't like this one quite as much as their debut album, Dummy.

Ahh, I hadn't listened to this in full for a few decades. A delightful memory of a classic!

I don't think I had ever heard this before. It felt ahead of it's times.

Interesting moody stuff.

Pure late 60's awesomeness.

I'm not big on country and western music. This was great work!

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this, as I'm disinclined to like pop music that was done after about 1980. (It's not a fair prejudice). He puts out a lot of energy in this music.

Never paid attention to these guys before. Solid hard rock!

Wow! Trip down memory lane!

Haven't listened to this in full for many years. Nice.

I was lucky enough to see Stevie Wonder live at the time that these songs and those from Talking Book were most what got played. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw.

another great work!

Some music brings back strong memories. This was the soundtrack to a long weekend out of town. It was one of those experiences that makes me thankful that we didn't kill anyone from stupid teenage boy antics. This album was heard many times over many years.

Such a classic!

Not exactly easy listening! Good beats.

What can be said about this album beyond Wow! I was fortunate enough to see them live once. What a fantastic show.

I never engaged much with metal. That said, this album was a really fun listen!

I never cared a great deal for JLL's style, but always recognized that it was a significant contribution. It was a fun listen.

Well, it'll never be my favorite Stones album, but there are a few treasures on it.

What a great piece of work. I wonder how I never hear of him before.

This didn't move me. I've never appreciated overly-sequenced dance music.

That was fun!

I always appreciated when I heard Sly on the radio, but never got any of their albums. This is good 1970s pop-rock!

Pretty good 80'd new wave.

Smooth

I'm awake now

Wow! Great stuff!

Interesting mix of brilliant folk/rock-ish with crossing the line to boring country-ish. He was a very good lyricist.

This was a great listen, and surprising that it was made in 1971.

One of may favorites from the 80s.

I've often felt that Dylan was one of those artists that I did not pay enough attention to. This was a great piece of work that showed that not all highly successful artists just phone it in as they get older.

The only Roxy Music that I was familiar with before this was their final one, Avalon. I've always really liked that one. This one is light years different. It's interesting, and I see how it is influential.

Very interesting fusion of hip hop and reggae!

That was fun. I had never heard of them before.

I never learned to appreciate death metal death metal.

That was a fun old replay

I acquired this many years ago. It's one of my favorite jazz albums.
