This album doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's the point. The singer is a poet. His words speak for themselves. Absolutely love this! Favorite songs: People, Rejoice, Survival Song, Bells and Whistles, People II: The Reckoning, Personal Space Invader, Bad Bad Things, Brave as a Noun, No More Tears, A Song Dedicated to the Memory of Stormy the Rabbit Least favorite songs: Randy's House 5/5

I think I'd have dropped one of The Who's lesser albums like "The Who Sell Out" and replaced it with this album on the official 1001 list. This album is fantastic. Completely missed somehow by me until today. Of The Who's rock operas, this one is better than the rest as far as I'm concerned. Great addition!! Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Glad to have discovered it! Favorite songs: 5:15, I'm One, Drowned, The Punk and the Godfather, Sea and Sand, The Real Me, Quadrophenia, The Dirty Jobs, Helpless Dancer, Love Reign O'er Me Least favorite songs: Doctor Jimmy 5/5

Minimalistic electronic music.... Kinda like the generic music that how-to videos employ. This one was written while Porter was apparently in a dark place battling with mental health. The writing process was used to get him out of that place, and what it created was an album that is really good at instilling hope in the listener. Really good album to listen to if you're down in the dumps. Favorite songs: Unfold, Look at the Sky, Get Your Wish, Trying to Feel Alive, Musician, Mother, Sweet Time Least favorite songs: Dullscythe, Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do 3/5

Favorite songs: Time Warp, Sweet Transvestite, Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul, Over at the Frankenstein Place Least favorite songs: "Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me" 4/5

Album fell off there a bit at the end. After Candy Sam, it was all downhill from there. Favorite songs: Diversion, Candy Sam, Californian Hills, Squealer Least favorite songs: W.u.o.t.w.s., Baby Big Man (I Want a Mommy), The Magazine 3/5

Favorite songs: Gopuru (Tuna Swimming) in B-Flat Major, Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow) in E-Flat Major, Waak (Crow) in E-Flat Major, Galiku (Flag) in D-Flat Major, Djolin (Musical Instrumental) in D-Major, Djilawurr (Scrubfowl) in D-Major, Wulminda (Dark Clouds) in E-Flat Major Least favorite songs: Ngarrpiya (Octopus) in A-Flat Major 5/5

Who listened to every album on this list then thought....ya know what this list was missing....more obscure shitty indie/alt rock from the 90's..... Favorite songs: Earthquakes Come Home Least favorite songs: the entire album 1/5

Favorite songs: The Answer, Astounded, Bv3, Discosis, Go Shopping, More Shopping, Love Cliche Least favorite songs: Senegal, Stepchild 4/5

A much better album than the one that was included on the official 1001 list (Beautiful Freak). Favorite songs: Mr. E's Beautiful Blues, Flyswatter, Grace Kelly Blues, I Like Birds, Packing Blankets, The Sound of Fear Least favorite songs: It's a Motherfucker 4/5

Another instance of "this should have been the album featured on the official 1001 albums list". This album outshines "Homework" in every way. Favorite songs: One More Time, Digital Love, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", Aerodynamic , High Life, Voyager, Short Circuit, Too Long Least favorite songs: Nightvision 4/5

Favorite songs: Le Premier Ciel, Chanson Noire, Sommeil Sans Reves, Comme Un Sage Least favorite songs: L'exil 4/5

I am very appreciative of all the Canadian representation so far on the post-1001-list. Canada was largely ignored (except for superstar acts like Neil Young and Rush) in the original list. The only area that got any representation (at least at a national level) was fucking England and Scotland, and most of that was absolute trash. Love discovering new local acts! So far the post-list is 100 times better than the actual list! Favorite songs: Your Ex-Lover is Dead, What I'm Trying to Say, Set Yourself on Fire, One More Night (Your Ex-Lover Remains Dead), Soft Revolution, Celebration Guns, Ageless Beauty, The First Five Times, Calendar Girl Least favorite songs: He Lied About Death 4/5

Pretty solid background music. Nice beats, just suffers as all electronic music does by having way too long of a runtime.

Favorite songs: Polska, Gamen, Halling Jaron, Euchari, Herr Holkin, Black, Sorgsen Ton Least favorite songs: Nio Ar 5/5

An interesting albeit strange offering today. Easily the newest album on the list I'd say. It was only released last month. I remember hearing about J-Pop and BABYMETAL on the documentary Global Metal. I wasn't aware they were still making music. This genre is apparently called kawaii metal (a blending of J-Pop and metal). It's like that weird Japanese poppy anime music but mixed with dirty loud modern electro-metal. It isn't traditional metal, it's that new age metal that features bass drops, breakdowns, and drum machines. All in all, odd, but not terrible. I just, again, think there should be a 5 yr lock on albums submitted (nothing made in the last 5 yrs) to give it time to age and see it's staying power. That being said, BABYMETAL has been making music since 2010, so I guess they are doing something right. One song on this album (Song 3) features Slaughter To Prevail (Russian deathcore band). Their lead singer Alex Terrible has some fucking insanely powerful vocals (well I don't know if it can be called vocals or screams, but dude can growl loud enough that a whole stadium can hear him without a mic). I'm not a big fan of their music, but have to give Alex props. Favourite songs: White Flame, RATATATA, Algorism, From Me to U, Kon! Kon!, My Queen, Sunset Kiss, Song 3 Least favorite songs: KxAxWxAxIxI 5/5

More robot sex music Favorite songs: Superheroes/Human After All/Rock'n Roll, "Around the World/Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", Robot Rock/Oh Yeah, Da Funk/Daftendirekt, Burnin'/Too Long, One More Time/Aerodynamic Least favorite songs: Touch It/Technologic 3/5

Canadian dream pop/indie from Montreal. I'm happy to see all the representation Canadian artists are getting on the recommendation list. Even though this genre isn't really in my wheelhouse, it's nice to see. Favorite songs: Say Can You Hear, Tailwhip, Slap Pie, All Night Least favorite songs: Dorian 2/5

Someone looked at the 1001 list and said, you know what this list is lacking? Fucking British shoegaze..... Admittedly, they coulda took an album of Jesus and Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine off and added this one because it's much better than any of the shoegaze on the official list, but it's still fucking shoegaze. Favorite songs: Machine Gun, Alison, Melon Yellow Least favorite songs: Sing, When the Sun Hits 1/5

Favorite songs: Papaoutai, asf, Tous Les Memes, Formidable, Moules Frites, Ta Fete, Ave Cesaria, Batard Least favorite songs: Quand C'est? 5/5

Alternative hip-hop/indie rock. Reminds me of Beck. Pretty solid. Favorite songs: These Few Presidents, Fatalist Palmistry, The Hollows, A Sky for Shoeing Horses Under, "Vowels, Pt. 2", By Torpedo or Crohn's, Good Friday Least favorite songs: Gnashville 4/5

Favorite songs: Watermelon Sugar, She, "Sunflower, Vol. 6", Treat People With Kindness Least favorite songs: Fine Line 3/5

Favorite songs: Simple Boy, New Day, Deadman, Goliath, Umbra, The Caudal Lure Least favorite songs: The Medicine Wears Off 4/5

Absolutely leaps and bounds ahead of the other album of theirs I listened to (Romance). It's almost like it's 2 different bands....this is a high energy rocker, the other was boring drivel. I can get behind this album for sure! Definately back loaded. The first four songs were mid at best, but the rest of the album was super solid! Favorite songs: Hurricane Laughter, The Lotts, Boys in the Better Land, Liberty Belle, Chequeless Reckless, Sha Sha Sha, Big, Dublin City Sky Least favorite songs: Too Real 4/5

Prog folk/psychadelic folk from the 70s. It's like they took folk music of the Pentangle/Fairport Convention style and crossed it with King Crimson. And then took it to a very dark place. Favorite songs: The Prisoner, Diana, Drip Drip, Song to Comus Least favorite songs: Bitten 3/5

Reminds me of my college roommate. He loved these dudes! This album definately deserves to be on the official 1001 list. This stoner ska punk sound was huge in the 90's. Favorite songs: Wrong Way, Santeria, Same In The End, What I Got, Caress Me Down, The Ballad of Johnny Butt, Pawn Shop Least favorite songs: Seed, Get Ready 4/5

Oh.............OH NO......... Ever wondered what a porpoise sounds like when getting fucked? This may be the album for you..... Whoever recommended this album wanted to inflict maximum damage....and succeeded. This is complete garbage. To quote Billy Madison: "I award you no points....and may God have mercy on your soul" Favorite songs: Midsummer New York Least favorite songs: 1)Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for a Hand in the Snow).....the intro.....fuck!!?! 2) Hirake......ahhh yes, the song that features the sounds of a dolphin actively giving a blowjob 3) Fly.........a 23 minute tutorial on how to sound like a clicker from The Last of Us.....or perhaps how to hold a sneeze for 23 minutes..... I am going to play the song Fly at my next Goose Hunt to lure in some Geese. Should work great!! 1/5 because I have to......0/5 if I could

Why did they decide to record the vocals in another room? I just really don't understand this modern Scottish music.....it just doesn't translate on this side of the pond.... Admittedly upon second playthrough it started to make a bit more sense. Favorite songs: Mogwai Fear Satan, King Herod, Yes! I Am A Long Way From Home Least favorite songs: With Portfolio 3/5

Solid 90's hip hop crossed with Funk. Favorite songs: Day Job, Tug Boat, Bozack, Retrosexy, Hell Least favorite songs: We Can Work It Out 3/5

Favorite songs: Good People, Do You Remember, Breakdown, Banana Pancakes, "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing", Better Together Least favorite songs: Situations 4/5

This man is a hell of a songwriter. The imagery he portrays in Thin Blue Flame is amazing. Favorite songs: Thin Blue Flame, In the Dark, Wolves, Girl in the War, "Lillian, Egypt", Monster Ballads, Good Man, Here at the Right Time Least favorite songs: Idaho 4/5

Favorite songs: Teenagers, Welcome to the Black Parade, House of Wolves, Famous Last Words, I Don't Love You, This is How I Disappear, Dead!, The Sharpest Lives Least favorite songs: Cancer 4/5

Favorite songs: Skinny Love, Flume, For Emma, Blindsided Least favorite songs: Creature Fear 4/5

This is so weird. Like every song is a different genre, and sounds like a completely different band.....I've never seen anything like that before.....Everything from alt country to rock to psychadelic to indie to pop......it's odd. I hated it at first because there is no cohesion, but once I understood what they were doing I had a second listen, and it hit better. Favorite songs: It's Gonna Be a Long Night, Transdermal Celebration, I Don't Want It, Chocolate Town, So Many People in the Neighborhood, Hey There Fancypants Least favorite songs: Zoloft 4/5

This dude was from the band 13th Floor Elevators (they had an album on the original 1001 list) before breaking off on his own. 13th Floor Elevators were credited with being one of the first psychadelic rock bands ever. He continues with that theme here, leaning more into the psychadelic/horror rock lane. A good album to listen to around Halloween ironically. This is some real good shit! It's like early Alice Cooper or less spacey Hawkwind. I really like it! In the song Stand for the Fire Demon, Roky Erickson gives me kinda a Dio vibe as well to some degree. Holy shit this entire album is fucking amazing. I love discovering stuff like this that would have passed me by unnoticed. Thank you to whoever recommended it! Favorite songs: Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer), Creature With the Atom Brain, Don't Shake Me Lucifer, Stand For the Fire Demon, White Faces, It's a Cold Night for Alligators, Sputnik, I Think of Demons, Mine Mine Mind, Night of the Vampire, Click Your Fingers Applauding, Bloody Hammer, If You Have Ghosts, I Walked With a Zombie Least favorite songs: None.... 5/5

Favorite songs: What Do You Want From Me, Time, Hey You, High Hopes, Money, Us and Them, Keep Talking, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Another Brick in the Wall, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell, Coming Back to Life, Learning to Fly Least favorite songs: Astronomy Domine 5/5

Favorite songs: 365, B2B, Club Classics, Mean Girls, 360, Apple, Rewind, Talk Talk, So I Least favorite songs: Von Dutch (catchy song, but what the hell is that screeching sound played constantly throughout the song? It's like nails on a chalkboard....) 3/5

Favorite songs: Suburban Home, Kabuki Girl, Parents, Jean is Dead, I'm Not a Loser, Myage, I Wanna Be a Bear, Bikeage, Hope, Marriage Least favorite songs: Tonyage 4/5
