1001 Albums Summary

Two top singles. Some good tunes.

Great album. Seems ahead of its time. Classic U2 stadium sound.

Interesting. A bit too aggressive on the profanity for my taste. "One More Chance" is a crazy song...

Just learned that Hole was the name of Courtney Love's band. Good grunge rock album, few good songs.

I liked the sound, but I think I need to listen to this a few more times to better understand it. I think it was more important in its time.

Interesting. Enjoyable listen. I like the Sitar blended with modern synth and other instruments. Some good covers of other popular songs from the day.

Listening to this in 2022, it's so clear to me now that music must be understood in the context of the time it is made. This music is so aggressive, explosive, angry and the messages don't resonate now, but it seems they did in 1988. Not really a fan of this album and wouldn't put it on regular rotation, but I'm glad I was exposed to it, to better understand the period of time. Interesting to see Ice Cube and Dr. Dre from back in the day.

Great fun album. Reminds me of Cake and PUSA that I listened to growing up. Cool tunes and offbeat lyrics.

Hadn't really listened to Rod Stewart much before this, and I liked it more than I expected to. Will continue to explore his music.

Eclectic mix of folk and various instruments. Syncopated rhythms. Not bad. Weird lyrics.

Ten minute long songs. Jammin. Would be incredible to see live in person. I like it in general but not something to listen to all the time.

Great album. Alt Rock champions.
