Man, this was the tune of my time. I remember hearing it first 1482 at the wine-fest of the kingdom of Baden. I swear I saw the ancle of princess Hiltrude this day.
I'm 87% sure the autor of this list realised halfway thought that he didn't know 1001 albums and added just random English music.
I'm happy to hear something outside of english/american rock/pop and whatever Electronica is. On the other hand I would find it immensely offensive against my culture if the only album from my country is a soundtrack of a movie. Imagine the only album of your country out of 1001 albums you must hear is the soundtrack of "Forrest Gump".
Look, I've listened to this Album on a rainy day, while sipping some red wine and saying words like furthermore and still didn't enjoy it.
Who the fuck starts an extended Album with the extra songs?
The first influencer, who thought being famous entitels to start a music career. Thanks to her we have Youtubers doing songs. Nico walked so BibisBeautyPalace could walk. (Point for not hiding the german accent behind a fake one)
Not fun, nor house. Not even the best Album called Funhouse.
Grateful dead took the best from country music (feeling like home, even though I'm not from the US) and the worst (being the most boring Genre). At least I had a good ride in the car.
The perfect Album to listen to while you're high in an art museum. Sadly I was at home doing chores sober. Anyways had a good time.
Who the fuck starts an extended Album with the extra songs?
"Hello fellow kids. I heard you like this new music from Skrill-eggs and Dead-Mouse. You should totally check this out!" -Vibes
This Album made my hair grow 40cm. I went to a protest against the Vietnam war, slept with the girlfriend of my best friend and died of an overdose while listening to my own song in the radio for the first time. Best 2 weeks of my life.
I'm sure I would give it a higher rating if I could connect more to gang violence and having sexual intercourse. Anyway, it's a milestone for Dre and for Hip-Hop in general, can't deny that.
Huge fan of the idea to replace the monotonous voice of Robert Smith with various instrumental tracks. Best album of the Cure so far!
Did this Album change my life? No. Did I have a good time? Absolutely! Is this the bare minimum to get 4-5 stars in this list? For me sadly yes.
I wouldn't consider myself the hugest fan of several men screaming at me, trying to convince me that they are the coolest but MY GOD THE BEATS. The producer carried the whole album.
High school musical, but with long curly hair and guitars. \m/
Sounds like the other Black Sabbath Album. If it weren't for "Changes" and the amazing Wikipedia-Article about this Album, I would have given less stars. But like I said I'M GOIIING THROUGH CHAAANGEEEEES.
An album by the two to three only americans who didn't get drafted by the army. And it sounds like it.
When I was young, I had a Guitar-Hero Knock off on my iPhone and Cherub Rock was one of the hardest songs. SInce I had no friends I played it so much, that I was able to sing along. Anyways, thanks for the flashback, no need to repeat.
Concept Albums are my favourite concept!
Man, this was the tune of my time. I remember hearing it first 1482 at the wine-fest of the kingdom of Baden. I swear I saw the ancle of princess Hiltrude this day.
Somehow people listened to this and said "yeah, this is a new genre" while it's basicly RocknRoll with funny lyrics. Anyways, better than most punk that came afterwards
Imagine having 3 world hits on an album AND a song with Paul McCartney. To be fair this one is pretty shitty.
Disco with classical instruments? You son of a beautiful woman, I'm in!
I'm 87% sure the autor of this list realised halfway thought that he didn't know 1001 albums and added just random English music.
I hope he was able to get the mucus out of his throat.
This is one of those albums which you have to read the Wikipedia Article to understand why it's on this list.
I respect Led Zeppelin for their work, but I'm too ignorant to discriminate between them and other Rockbands of their time and afterwards (!)... I'm sorry fellow rockers, I hope you can forgive me
I really wanted to hate this Album, but it was pretty neat. Apart from the middle part, where they forgot to stop the recording and we got like 10 minutes of random noises.
For being a genre that lastet like 10 years, Punk surely had a lot of pioneers that ALL belong in this book/list.
Started pretty strong and went pretty boring after a few tracks.
Abba is like Cheese. You can put it on the pizza at the family dinner, you can put in the sandwich on a hike or you can put it on Nachos at a party. Or you eat it being alone at home.
This man knows his work. But I don't like it.
This is like your friend winning a medal for ice hockey, but you don't care about sports. So you are happy for him, but could have died without listening to this Album.
More Hip Hop and more Punk than most albums in this list. Never thought I would enjoy Country Music.
Couldn't resist to dance
Amazing idea, bad realisation. Did not enjoy it.
I had no connection to this album and still don't have. 2Stars from me
Realised after one hour that the album was over and that I wasn't listening to anything. Completely forgettable (for me) and even more astonishing if you see the (good) ratings it got on release.
This Album inspired me to take a break from this generator for a week.
Phase 1: Hell yeah, smells like Team Spirit, amiright? Phase 2: starts album from track two Phase 3: listens to whole album once a while and cries because it's a masterpiece.
If I would have been born 15 years earlier I would have loved this Album. Anyways, it's kinda nice sometimes
Maybe it's because I'm lying sick in bed, but this Album gave me a nice trip without any drugs 5/5
My highlight was, when they rhymed "fly" with "sky"
Extra star for doing an extra album in Spanish.
Well THIS is an album I'm happy I heard before dying. It is so influential and holds to this day as a good album. It looses a bit in the second half but is able to catch the goodbye-feeling in the last song.
WOuLd yOu liKe sOMe SweEtS WiLLy?
I didn't like the album very much but I know that most of the music I liked and listened to growing up was influenced by it. Giving it 3 stars doesn't mean the album is boring, it means I am.
Frag nicht was für Saft
So glad to share this Album I "must hear before I die" with 20.000 other Spotify listeners. It really had a big impact on music and my life before I died.
This reminds me of this one Beatles song.
I respect the experimental sound, but I don't like it. It's fine, they had already a banger album, doing something different is the only logical step.
The beats are nice
Look, I've listened to this Album on a rainy day, while sipping some red wine and saying words like furthermore and still didn't enjoy it.
Like Elton John but without big dick energy
This is what I thought this list was
Punk in which the singer can actually sing? Well this is something I haven't heard before! If she could turn off the tremolo in her voice, I would have given this the missing star.
This is the kind of album which you start with arms crossed arms (and mind) and while listening to it you start moving the big toe. With every song you move more muscles and around the half I was dancing on my own at home.
They didn't invent the wheel with this one, but it was pretty nice to listen to
Didn't know her before and am happy I heard this Album before I died.
Kids is one of these songs that will never cease to make me happy
This had some hostage vibes
There is one random hit inside a strange album. The name of the album on the other hand is the real hit for me 10/10
The way this man treats the inmates with such respect and honesty while doing a great live show makes this one of the best live albums in my opinion. And this from somebody who neither is American, nor close to a boomer nor listens to jonny cash outside of this list.
"Good art makes you feel something" Well I feel personally attacked by the lack of intent to entertain. This should be under the throbbing idontknow
It's a nice album to study to or while driving through nature. On the other hand I don't remember a thing about this.
Today I decided to enter this Album with an open mind. Inspired from a reddit post I listened the first couple of songs trying to understand the essence of this music. And then this part happened. If you've listened to the album, you know what I mean. Noise, literal nonoise. No thanks.
This is like meeting a friend you haven't seen since kindergarden in the first week in college where everyone is super pretentious and you finally see a familiar face. Even though I haven't listened to this Album for a long time, I had a good time with it then and now.
I'm doing my part to bring this Album where it belongs o7
I don't care what you say. There are people rating the most basic Brit- or american-pop albums 5/5 because it's the one they lost their virginity to. So I have all the rights in the world to rate this because it accompanied me in a time of many beginnings (apart of my sexual beginnings, those started much much later)
I have a huge respect for missy elliott, but I couldn't sing one song of hers and this Album reminds me why. Every song sounds fire, but the second it finishes I can't remember a single thing about it. If anyone asks me I will say I've never heard supa dupa fly
I mean it's nice to listen to, but what the hell is this Album doing in this list/book?
Eminem is a single god. Literally every album has at least one or two songs that are pure masterclass. But somehow I have difficulties listening to a whole album of his. Maybe we should have put the best-of album in the list, this would have been an easy 5/5
My 13 year old angsty self would have loved this. My 27 year old angsty self likes it pretty much too!
Als deutsche Musik noch cool war
What does a stoner say when you take his weed away? "Turn off the fucking reggae music!"
I'm happy to hear something outside of english/american rock/pop and whatever Electronica is. On the other hand I would find it immensely offensive against my culture if the only album from my country is a soundtrack of a movie. Imagine the only album of your country out of 1001 albums you must hear is the soundtrack of "Forrest Gump".
Listening to this while doing a walk literally elevated every step I did, especially the second part of the album.
Between the 200 albums from Nick Cave, this is the only one I liked and think should be in the book
The cover is a 10/10
An album to fuck with margaret Thatcher AND Elon Musk. Workers unite!
This Album will be in my divorce papers.
Turns out you can do a full album with sultan of swing
I never was a fan of folk, but this album touched some strings in me
This Album has at the same time the most interesting and the most boring moments of music I heard in a while. I can't bring myself to give it a 3, but for sure I won't give it a 5
I didn't listen to megadeath during my metal time and I missed out
Sounds like british food tastes like
Started strong and became pretty fast the level of a free iTunes album
Like Michael Jackson but without hits
Forgettable
"Hey what's that noise? Do you remember?" "Yeah this 1001 Album thing I'm too proud to admit that I should have stopped two years ago"
I didn't enjoy it at all, but literally just having an album which is not from the US or UK makes me want to give this 5 stars. I will settle somewhere in the middle, but not without repeating that there should be more international albums!
This has the same effect as white noise, but it's called ambient music. You can decide on which side you stand, I found mine.
I can't explain what draws me to this album and maybe that's the metalinguistic aspect of music.
"Performers there are who tremble consistently on each note as if they had the palsy." - Leopold Mozart
I suggest reading the Wikipedia article about this guy. Incredible
Surprisingly good?
The fact that I still remember the first half of the album despite not having listened to slipknot for a decade shows how influential this was for me as an adolescent
Me not understanding a word: "Oui, this is poetry!"
WTF, how influential can an album be?
Fun
This has 6000 monthly listeners on Spotify, I guess most of them because of the book or the generator. -1 star for being the 999th British album on this list
Somehow less repetitive than other non-loop albums
I didn't understand why Bob Dylan is so beloved and I still don't understand it
Should have stopped after imagine
An all time classic with hit after hit and some good fillers. Anyways, Alexa play wonderwall.
Usually I wait until the end until I rate an album, but there is no need in this case since there is nothing that can redeem the first 4 songs. One star for the beats, that are actually nice
What the duck? This rocks!
This has zero effect when the world around you is literally burning and less when you're not from the USA (like evrey Springsteen song)
I'm torn because I really enjoyed this album, but at the same time it's a shame that from all the albums that came out in 2012 it has to be a british rock-album. If there is something this lists doesnt need it's more rock in english. Anyways, like I said, I really liked the album, so I will rate it well, I just wanted to leave this for the protocol!
This sounds like a mix of jazz and my local brass band. Loved it
A concept is not an album. I share the understanding of importance regarding racism, oppression and inequality but didn't feel anything with this album. I know it was not made for me nor my bubble of white non-american guys, but this feels more like a statement from the author than the appreciation of black music.
Surprised about how little I cared about the first half and how much I enjoyed the second of the album.
It's a decent album to listen to when you're staring out of the window. On the other hand there are hundred better albums for this purpose alone. Could it at least not have been british?
Well this was unexpected. I am more impressed by the fact that this album came out in 1966 than by the sound itself, but I am willing to admit to be glad to have heard this before I died
Interesting how this viking-album finishes with dreamy songs and baby noises. Almost like a fever dream. Like everything that happens after the third season of Vikings
After listening to his third album and listening for the fist time his hit "like a rolling stone", there is only one word I found for this extraordinary musician and this gifted lyricist: Overrated
No, please. Once is enough
It was fine, I didn't feel like my time was wasted 3/5
That's what I'm calling a varieté!
A high pitched no from my part
No hit and still every song slaps
Well, this was a pleasant surprise. Of course an English artist, since there is no other place like the UK or the USA, but at least it's not bad like other "must hear" albums.
I wasn't made for listening to this, baby! Extra star for having "Beth" and "Do you love me" head-to-head
Utter shite
(SPOILERS!!!!) There is no way this band deserves to have 2(!!!) Albums in this list. Reading that this Album is considered one of the best of 1978 has me reevaluating the year 1978.
Somehow U2 is cool?
When there's a random 1974 album I dont know and I dont like, I say to myself "well you should have been there to understand it". But in 2008 I was alive and had a more or less functioning cortex and let me tell you, this Album is NOT worth enduring random 70 music. But well, maybe I have to be british to understand it.
More like the fat of the beat, ye-haw!
Pretty nice, but nothing the local rock band couldn't come up with.
The skit from the KKK got me off guard
If you are considering doing a song about someone having a boner - let it be
Expected to hate it because of how overplayed the singles are, but it's listenable!
It started as a fresh breeze between these dusty records on this list but after a few songs the breeze died down and now I'm in the same dusty room with he window open
Didn't know the arctic monkeys were cool (pun intended)
Never thought I would rate a jazz album 5 stars. Extra star for the cover!
I don't see myself listening to the rolling stones after this project ever again.
Sorry but the end weirded me out. I hate the feedback noise and I hate that people use it intentionally in their music.
Bjööööööööörk
Nice
Didn't understand a single word but was bumping my head the whole time. Sounds like some guys having some fun with a microfone.
- Can we have Billy Joel? - We have Billy Joel at home. At home: A surprisingly talented and wholeharted singer-songwriter - Thanks Ma, I thought you would show me again some bad country music, but this is pretty good
I'm at album 722. This book is breaking me. I will take a break now.
anotherstupidenglishalbumican'tbeRELAX JUST DO IT BMSHFMNEMNE DO ITwhatdoyoumeanwithanotherhourofthisalbum
I think the title says it all
It's interchangeable but also pretty fun.
If you think this is just a white british lady singing some songs you're not wrong. But the amount of hits and amazing songs I've never heard before just blew my mind. Doesn't feel dusty at all!
Repetitive, repetitive, badum badum badum, repetitive, repetitive...
He really is my man
It helps to understand german, know Hans Eisler, kurt Tucholsky and Berthold Brecht and their importance. Most of the stars I give belong to them, they rock
White noise
The only title to be featured in the 1001 albums and 1001 movies books and I dont understand why it is in each one
They really are putting this on this list before african/carribean music with bongo-percussions. Frustrating
In my opinion the best Radiohead album. Period.
By the last tracks I feel like a real cosmopolitan. What an album!
Never felt so much hate listening to love songs. Why 69? Why 3 hours and a half?
I love the concept but don't care about the product. Pretty luxurious, I know
At this point I am 94% sure the author filled the last 450 spots with random English music, what am I doing with my life?
Makes two hits and then tries to have sex with me
I am sick and tired of listening to english music by english singers about england. One star for the drummer of Fela Kuti, he rocks!
Not as bad as expected but also no need to he in this list
I think this Album makes me appreciate and enjoy 90's rap music. Until now I wasn't convinced but damn do those guys go hard
Somehow my bustrip to work became sexually charged
I didn't know until now that the title song isn't a patriotic yee-haw American eagle song, but a poignant critic of said sentiment.
I committed a lot of musical sins in my adolescence but I'm happy to have passed on this Album
I listened out of curiosity to the most streamed song "C'est la vie" and couldn't believe that thats the same person. This man knows how to cook.
If this is another country album by a white American then why am I crying?
It's not their fault that I'm in a bad mood, but I can't understand what makes this music that important to listen to that it's in the book. Focking wankers
If this llist is trying to make me like Bob Dylan by putting all of his albums on the list and hoping that something sticks with me then it's goddamn right. I think it made click for me with this one.
"It's called that because it's from Ohio.[9]" Thank you Wikipedia
I have the highest respect for music critics from now on. Listening to one shitty album a day is enough for me. I couldn't for my life do it for the rest of my life
Thanks, I hate it
I have a soft spot for good guitar work
kurz und knackig
When I was 14, I wanted to see a concert in the festival "Rock am Ring" from my favourite band Linking Park in a live stream. So I stayed up until 11pm on a school day when they supposedly should play. Instead of showing the concert in stage one, Rock am Ring decided to stream the concert of stage two which was Motörhead. I turned it off and went angry to bed. Ironically thanks to linking Park I started to listen to more Metal and less Nu including Lemmy and his Motörgang. This Album reminded me of this times. Rest in peace Lemmy.
Somhow, Talking Heads returned...
It made me appreciate Jazz a little bit more. So I didn't enjoy it but I listened to it until the end.
I never understood the "artistic" point of pedophilia. This lolita-esque text left me unimpressed and kinda disturbed.
I don't care about this
9 songs that sound like the world hit "come on eileen" and the world hit "come on eileen"
"We should include newer music from 2010 onwards!" "I got you, how about a rock band from texas no one has ever heard about?" ... "Brilliant"
Of course the side project of the BASSIST of one of the bands that have various albums in this list has one spot on his own because why include new music if you can copy/paste the same guys over and over again.
Not the worst country music on this list
I can taste the gasoline of Taylor swifts private jet I just helped to fuel listening to this album. I don't like this taste.
Very Leonard, much Cohen
The band split 4 months after this Album. That's everything you need to know...
Anticipated to enjoy this much more
Finally an album I knew before this project. It's a10/10 can't argue with it.
It definitely is something different but my god am I having a bad time listening to Tom Waits. Sorry folks, maybe the next Waits album on this list will turn me around.
There is a reason why he's the best beatle.
Finally some good music from 2015 onwards. You can't understate the influence of Thundercat in today's rap-music. Never heard a full album and I dint think that his music works in this medium but holy moly does he knows his way around a bass.
Sounds like all ghe albums I gave one star combined... and somehow works for me
Always happy to give non-english music a higher rating but this one is insufferable
My face when the first chord played :O
I don't see the necessity after including the whole studio discography of Bob Dylan to put a live album of his on the list. Come on! Support your local small artists
On one hand I enjoy most of the songs, on the other hand this Album felt eternal and is only one hour long.
Average rating is 0.22 points below global average.
Album origins are grouped into three buckets: US, UK, and everything else. “Other” means the artists you rate highest are from outside the US and UK.
