I listened to the album while cutting the grass so my full attention was not given and the album was more or less background music. I wasn't too familiar with any of the songs except the first track "Girls & Boys," and that is because the chorus sounded familiar. Overall the album wasn't bad but when Parklife came out in 1994 my musical tastes weren't too diverse. I was super into hip-hop and rap so I wouldn't have sought out this album.

I really enjoyed this album. This is my second time attempting to go through the 1001 albums and I had previously had this album as well. Not sure what I rated it then, but today I was really feeling it. The last two tracks, Nightswimming and Find the River were two that I liked the most.

This was one of those albums that I could listen to straight through, uninterrupted while walking my dog. I don't remember if I had this album previously as none of the tracks sounded familiar. I can also say that I had never heard this album at all, period. I really enjoyed this album. I would have to listen 1 or 2 more times before I can give my opinion on what I believe the stand out tracks to be but overall the whole thing was very catchy. I could picture just having a lazy day at the beach with a cold beer in my hand and this album playing in the background.

Another album that I was able to get through, mostly, while taking the dog for a walk. The standout track for me, and the only track that I had previous knowledge of was The Weight. Overall a good album with that classic sound. Definitely a chill listening experience.

Very cool, very trippy album by Jimi Hendrix. I felt like I should have been on mushrooms or acid to appreciate this to the fullest! Hendrix is a master on the guitar and it is evident here. I don't know I'd it was the version that I listened to on Apple music but the way the album was recorded and mastered it seemed like some sounds and vocals would switch ears. Again all the more reason to be in a different mind state to appreciate, lol. No real stand out tracks for me at least after only one listen, but there were also no tracks of his that I have heard before on this album. For me I would definitely have to give this album a second and more focused listen.

I was very young during the 80s but a lot of the music from this time always sparks up nostalgia. Synchronicity is not one of those albums, but that is not a bad thing. When this album was released I was 3 going on 4 so I think that many of the tracks that may have been big at the time or received airplay would have had their popularity waned in the later years when I became a little older. The only track here that I recognized was Every Breathe You Take. Almost 40 years later for me I can appreciate this album more.

Overall the album wasn't terrible but it wasn't my cup of tea. The lead track from the beat to the lyrics seemed very basic. This definitely wasn't my style of rap. To be fair however, after listening to the album I read the album description on Apple Music and it seems that this is a concept album with one theme running throughout. I may or may not go back and listen more closely keeping that in mind.

This is probably only the third or fourth time that I have listened to this album, but it is one of Kanye's best. I was a big fan of his "college" trilogy and when this album released he was starting to act a little off of the rails. I think that turned me off a little, but I wasted time by not appreciating this album then.

A nice, chill album. I was not familiar with any of the songs on this album but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. That is the one problem with the random album a day. I don't really take the time to listen to the album thoroughly. Maybe I will have to start reading about the albums, at least those I am not familiar with, and see if there is a theme like that previous album or at the minimum just to have some background information.

The bad part about this album is you have to listen to it on YouTube as it is not on Apple Music or Spotify, at least I think because I am not a premium member. From looking at the wiki for the album it looks like this album was never released in the US but tracks made it on to best of compilations. The good part is that, well, the album is good. Going into it I didn't think I ever even heard of them, buy the track "Our House" was an 80s classic and I never realized that was Madness! In looking at the comments on the tracks, a lot of people feel this is their best album, but since I have nothing to compare to I am only giving it 3 stars, but I will at some point listen to another album or two.

A solid live album by Blues legend B.B. King. Not being too familiar with these songs, I was able to get into it solely because of the response from the live audience and King's playing ro them. The album was short, just over 30 minutes but it makes me wonder how much was cut. I would like to go back and hear these songs as recorded.

Well the title of this album was appropriate. I admit that this album was more or less just background noise today while working, but it did a good job of having tracks throughout that would make me stop and listen. And that is why I am giving this album 4 stars. I enjoyed it and will definitely at some point be going back and listening to it again and maybe check out some of his other work.

I had a chance to listen to this album while I was out walking the dog. It was a solid album overall, and according to the wiki this album was very groundbreaking and influential to artists such as R.E.M. and The Pixies. There were no tracks that I recognized but it did provide a good enough soundtrack for the walk..

This album was certainly wild! I enjoyed it very much. Familiar songs in Just A Gigolo and Jump, Jive, and Wail. All the rest of the songs may have been new to me, but I enjoyed every minute of the album.

Standard new wave album by the Talking Heads. I didn't read much about the album before listening but I remember the first time going through this there were at least two other talking heads albums that were on the list. Maybe I am missing something but still not sure why they have so many entries.

I am not too sure that I was familiar with any of their work aside from their name going into this album. I managed to listen to the album once again while on a walk with the dog. Classic punk sound but I think that I need to go back and give the album a deeper listen. The album was good and I would go back to check out more from their discography.

Another band that I was not all familiar with, at least in name, but I guess that is all apart of this album a day thing. Overall the album was alright. It was your standard sounding album from that time. Nothing really stood out to me and again that is because I only give these albums a quick once through. I also didn't read the information behind the album so that probably didn't help. Anyway it is what it is so on to the next album!

I had the opportunity to listen to this album in the last group I was in. I am not sure what I rated it the last time, but it is definitely a chill album and maybe it is just me, but it also is a great album for the summer. A classic for sure and worthy to be on this list.

This is another album that I did get to hear the first attempt at this challenge. If I remember correctly I enjoyed it just as much then as I did this time. When this album came out I was still young and my musical pallet was quite small. I wouldn't have been fully into rap yet and was still probably rocking out to Appetite For Destruction so as far as Tracy Chapman goes I probably only was familiar with Fast Car. Listening to this album now as an adult it is a good album and I would definitely go and check out some more of the discography.

Once again this is another album that I happened to listen to in the previous group and I have to tell you I walked away thinking the same thing, I have to listen to more Stevie Wonder! Talking Book is a funky, soulful album that had me bopping along as I walked the pup. This album deserves its spot on this list!

A nice album all around. Though I am not familiar with much of their work aside, this is an excellent hard rock punk album. Once again I will be giving The Stooges more of a listen.

A very chill album with a couple of stand-out familiar tracks. I liked that the album was less than 30 minutes. It enable me to get through it in one shot while walking the pup. Simon & Garfunkel are always a good option when you want to chill out and think of simpler times long gone.

What a great album by Metallica. Stand out track for me is One and I actually started liking this song back when it appeared on a Guitar Hero game. Definitely recommend any of Metallica's older works.

Not really an album that I would go back to listen to, but I will say that the second track is titled Sunday Morning and this album came up on a Sunday and it was a beautiful Sunday. I was out walking my dog so it was quite appropriate. The next few songs all followed the same vibe so it made the morning walk and start to my day uplifting.

According to Wikipedia this album is considered to be one of if not John's best works and I would have a heard time challenging that.

The album started off strange but ended fine. They reminded me of the Velvet Underground, who they actually mention in a song. It may not have been a reference to the band the Velvet Underground but they said the name. Also the song I Don't Love Anyone sounded like I Only Wanna Be With you by Hootie & The Blowfish which prompted ne to have a day of Hootie!

The debut album by The Stooges is a solid hard rock album. It was a short album that I rushed through and plan om doing a deep dive one the album and the band in the future.

I don't know if I was having a bad day yesterday but I really wasn't feeling this album at all. The production and sound were fine but I could not focus on this.

It was an alright album. Not very rememberable after one listen. With that said from what I recall I would go back and check some of their other work out.

It's been less than 24 hours and I really don't remember anything from this album. On to the next one!

From what I remember the album was okay but I am having a hard time recalling the sound. I am either not paying attention or I am just getting old

Initially just judging the album by its cover, I wasn't too sure I was going to enjoy this album. Thankfully I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what genre this would be considered as I didn't take the time to look it up but to me it sounded almost folk country if that is a thing. Clearly listening to the lyrics and seeing when it was released you can tell it was an anti war protest album. However some of these songs are very much applicable in today's culture.

Another album that stads as a time capsule of that period. A classic psychedelic rock album that held my attention from beginning to the end. I was familiar with 'Sunshine Of Your Love' going into the album but no other tracks were familiar. Aside from that track nothingbreallybstood out to me. Maybe that is just my narrow way of listening to these albums, assuming the more tracks I know are what elevate it.

It's The Beatles, it's a classic!

I was not familiar with this band going into yesterday's listening session, but let me tell you this album was pretty good. I am giving it 3 stars but I will definitely have to go back and give it a more focused listen.

A solid classic rock album!

Second time listening to this album, the first time in last year's go at the 1001 albums challenge. Not horrible not sure what I thought on the first listen, but definitely not something I would go to.

I have heard of this album, and I do not think I ever saw the movie. But it is a rocking album!

I liked the album. Started of very Beatlesy but soon became more hard rock heavy. Again just listening to the album while working so I was paying too much attention, but I did like what I heard and will probably check out some more of their work.

It's not that it was a bad album I just wouldn't choose to listen to this type of music unless to go to sleep or background music. Maybe that is shallow of me but, eh.

I have never really listened to a Bee Gees album in its entirety but I did enjoy this album. Nice, mellow, and relaxing.

Solid album all around. This album was the album, in my opinion, pushed MM to superstar status, no pun intended.

A fun album with a few of her bigger hits. As I get older I grow to appreciate these artists more.

I have heard of them before but have never heard them before. It was a pretty rocking album for my Saturday morning walk!

I enjoyed this album from start to finish. I don't know why I don't listen to more of their work, but it may have to do with the fact that I was really hip-hop focused from the beginning of the 90s through high school.

I think the problem for me with randomly listening to an album each day is that for albums and artists I am unfamiliar with it is hard fornme to properly review it. When an album or an artist that I have listened or still listen to shows up I find my listen is usually better. I like Bowie and this album was fine but I feel because I haven't listened to his work enough, I couldn't see why this particular album was on the list. I liked it but can only give it a 3.

It got me moving and grooving on my dog walk yesterday!

I have to be honest I didn't make it all the way through. Not because I am not open to different styles but this seemed more like an introductory class on the sounds of India. Most of the tracks were 10+ minutes long.

Pretty rocking album from Van Halen. I have only ever really listened to their radio hits, but I was pleasantly surprised with this whole album.

I liked the album, sounded a lot like music my buddy sends me so I am not sure what made this a "must listen." Also points lost for the uninspired album art but maybe I just don't get it!

The last group I was in I believe that this album came up. It wasn't terrible, sounded very much 90s, kept me moving on my walk, so 3 stars for you Supergrass!

I know it seems like no album gets below a 3, but that is my honest to goodness reaction. I don't think that I have ever heard of this band before. I may have heard songs by them and not realized it, but for all intents of purpose this was all new to me. I enjoyed the album, definitely had the sound of the time and that is alright. I will consider giving some of their other albums a try!

The bands debut album and still had me rocking 27 years later!

It was something. Not too bad, actually quite relaxing as I dozed off in my chair while listening. Definitely not something I would go out of my way to listen too.

I know that this album is regarded as one of their best, I didn't know it was a double album. I enjoyed and can see why The White Album is held in such high regard.

I think this album came up in the last group, but not too bad. Nice and chill. It felt like this album could have been recorded in the 1970s. It had the sound of an album from that time, ateast in my opinion.

Again not a bad album but I couldn't finish it because things definitely not my style of music.

I listened to it and I like it. I think this came up the last time as well. Didn't the make fun of this album in Wayne's World?

I have never heard of this artist but the album was ok, but sounded like alot of the r&b albums from this time period so not sure what made it a "must listen."

Adele has a beautiful voice and there are alot of hits on this album. Definitely recommend 👌

A very intersecting album but exactly what I was looking for in this type/style of album.

Baby I was born to run! Classic album from the Boss.

Solid, chill album. I realize I don't listen to enough Common but that's going to change.

It was a good album to walk the dog to yesterday morning!

It's the Rolling Stones, of course they are on this list. Surprisingly this album had no tracks, at least if I am recalling correctly, that I have heard before or are amongst their more popular ones.

I never really got into The White Stripes but I did enjoy this album and will go back and listen to more of their stuff.

I know the "hits" of the Beach Boys but never really listened to a full album, again with the exception of greatest hits album. I was pleasantly surprised with how much i enjoyed this album that I will be going back and checking out more of what the have to offer.

While the band name looked familiar, I wasn't at all familiar with their music. Overall this was a rocking album and I will be going back and checking out more of their catalog. Also sweet album title!

It was Specials! For real, it wasn't terrible just not something I would reach for or revisit.

A good album. It's a shame Amy was gone too soon.

Another good album from them CCR boys!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T taking care of T.C.B!

I very much enjoyed this album. It was a great soundtrack for the Sunday morning walk with the pup.

Did not listen, but will go back and find a complete version of this album. I am very familiar with Fats' Blueberry Hill as it always reminds me of Happy Days.

I have never really gave Solange a listen before, and definitely this album because of its release year. I regret not hearing this before. Such a chill album and a great artist, must be in the bloodline.

I have to go back and finish listening to the album, but from the few songs I heard and hearing other albums by them, I am sure it is another punk classic.

A classic disco album. I enjoyed it on my walk yesterday morning. I am curious to listen to to some more Abba!

Not garbage! This took me back to high school. Not that this was my preferred genre of music at that time but you would hear Only Happy When It Rains all the time on the radio, the Box, or MTV.

I have never heard of this band before, but I enjoyed this album thoroughly.

Long before I had a friend in Randy Newman and Toy Story I was burning in with Major League! One of the most distinct voices.

A nice chill album for my Monday morning walk. One Bob Marley album that I hadn't listened to before!

I believe this album came up the last go round. A nice social activism themed album and group along the lines of Public Enemy. My only complaint is that some songs unavailable on Spotify.

I rocking little number!

I have never heard of this band before and the album wasn't bad, though at this moment I am struggling to recall it. However because the band's name is The The I cannot go lower than 4 stars!

A hip-hop classic for sure! Lauryn Hill has here legacy cemented as of the greats of this era.

An okay album from what I remember. It kinda of was just background noise on my morning walk.

I liked the sound of the album, and was great background music for my walk. I just don't think I fully paid attention to most of it.

I did not finish the album because when I started it it was on shuffle and 30 minutes in I realized it was shuffling a bunch of stuff. I'll come back to it.

An okay album in my opinion. It was background music.

I like the album and it's sound alot. Only downside is it isn't available on Apple Music or Spotify. You can find it on YouTube, and I did, but only made it through half.

Good 80s New Wave. Made me think of the Purple Stuff Podcast!

Easy listening on a Friday morning!

A nice and relaxing album.

Sound it like a modern day Beatles.

It seems to me that every Bowie album is on the list. Not saying this album doesn't deserve to be here just pointing out facts.

As with most of these albums, it is okay. Like I said early on, I tend to stay in certain boxes, certain genres and it is hard for me to sometimes think outside of the box.

I started to listen, but never finished it. I will come back to it.

Another one I started but didn't finish but will go back to.

Chill album. Much different sound then first album.

I really enjoyed this. Not something I would go to on a daily basis, but I liked it!

One again, I'll ce back to it.

I did not listen to this album today, but since it released in 1995 I have listened to it too many times to count! Known as the "Purple Tape," this album not only is an important album for the Wu legacy but is also an important album for the whole hip-hop legacy.

I love this album. One of my first CDs!

The album was as titled, ambient. It was definitely a good vibe to have on in the background while working.

A nice album to have on in the background while working. It also gave me vibes of being in a smokey night club.
