1001 Albums Summary

This album reeks of the type of empty faux-patriotism dad rock that permeates most of these weird post-9/11 albums. Listen to Darkness on the Edge of Town instead

Motörhead isn't terrible, but this live set seems like it's just a greatest hits hodgepodge with no coherence as an album itself. Still some good songs on it though

A lot of surprises on this album. I was really only familiar with heads Will Roll and Maps but this album surprised me. It's almost a dream pop album in some areas, if anything "Heads Will Roll" stands out as being very unlike the rest of the album. Highly recommend

Not a huge PJ Harvey fan. This is certainly better than Stories from the City but I've yet to find an album by them that makes me think more then "meh" before abruptly moving on and forgetting about it. I can see why this appeals to some people, I'm just not those people

You don't need me to tell you this album is good. You've probably already heard the whole thing played throughout 20 different Vietnam War movies

Faust is great, very well done Krautrock. I still prefer Nue but there's enough going on here to really make this stand out amongst the broader movement

The Band bangs

Pretty average Zepplin fare. Has some famous songs on it but isn't as good as their better albums

Probably the best Culture Club album. I'm not entirely huge on them as a band but their hits are great. The things between the hits I could take or leave, they kinda drag a bit and get muddled in 80s noise

Not as good as Doolittle or Surfer Rosa but a very good and different album by the Pixies

Odd and interesting, weirdly sexual, but very good

Kinda sounds like a ripoff of Neil Young or Bob Dylan. Not bad, but why not just listen to them instead?

This album sucks lol

One of Cohens best, and that's a high bar

I don't like Megadeth

Didn't realize how deep the Astrud rabbit hole went but this album is incredible

Classic funk, iconic 70s classic, bonus for being used in Muppets in Space

One of the greatest rap albums of all time, what more even is there to say about this that hasn't already been said

Decent album by van Morrison standards

Probably some of Paul Simon's best on here

Great album by Eno, title says it all, perfect vibe for airport waiting

Almost all of CCR's albums are good, this is no different

Probably the cure's best in my opinion, but what do I know?

I'm meh about Todd Rundgren, this album is fine and so is most of his discography

Some of the best there's ever been from Nirvana

2nd best Neil Young album

Very well made but not really my kinda thing personally

Eh, Van Morrison is fine I guess

Queen is possibly the most overrated and overplayed band in history

Top 5 albums from the 90s, incredible shit

Not as good as Paul's Boutique but probably the Boy's second best

I've never liked Anthrax and this only affirms my dislike of them

Great album by Jay-Z, not as good as the older stuff but I still enjoyed it

Great album, rivals a lot of Parliament's other stuff on its own

All-time hip hop band, Tribe is sensational. Only surpassed by one or two of their better albums

It's fine, I'm not really a fan of Solange personally but this is one of her better albums

Great example of phenomenal abstract pop. Not Björk's best but it's up there and Björk owns that genre so it's still phenomenal

Middle of the road for these guys

bangers

It's alright

Great album by McCartney, probably one of his best as far as solo work goes

It's alright? I'm not really into Arcade Fire

Probably my favorite Aretha album

Great Halloween album

It's fine

Not Stevie's best but certainly has some of his greatest songs

Decent by CCR, but they're all decent

Ass

Incredible, Gilberto's entire family is beyond talented

One of the greatest classic rock albums of all time, but that's standard for Pink Floyd

Prefer other Nick Cave stuff, this is meh

Not Hendrix's best album but Hendrix is easily top 5 guitar players all time so that's a hard bunch to pick from honestly

id not like this but he's undeniably talented

Really good by Snoop standards, but I'm eh about him so that standard is mid

Great classic album, Jojo moment

Not that impressive, the covers of Cruisn' are better than this

This man's voice is fucking insufferable. The only redeeming quality here is MAYBE the instrumentals

Very good but just not my thing

Literally one of the greatest Jazz musicians of all time, not a single sleeper album

Decent, but PIL have better stuff than this

Not Pink Floyd's best, a little to faux psychedelic for me

Alright, kinda like other "wall of sound" bands better, listen to MBV or something isntead

Kinda overrated honestly

Incredible stuff honestly

Incredible album by an even more incredible band

Decent, but most Smiths albums are better than this

Great album, honestly insane for how old it is compared to today

pretty good, some real bangers, XTC certainly has better albums though

One of the best 80s sleeper hit bands there is

Pretty good

Really just not a big Adele fan

Bad, boring, ass

It's alright, not really my style

It's alright, not a huge fan honestly

Really freaking good. never really got into her before but this bangs

One of the best to ever do it

Honestly enjoyed this album a lot more than I thought I would

It's fine, not really my thing, a lot of 90s grunge is kinda ass, sorry

Not as good as other albums from the same era, could be better

Fine stuff, not really familiar with Nyo's work but I enjoyed it well enough, nothing really standoutish though

Pretty good, didn't know Common got down like that

One of the best to ever do it, genuinely one of the best albums of the 70s

Eh, it's alright, not really my favorite style personally

While I love Cohen, this isn't necessarily his best work

Incredible stuff, really captures the vibe of 70s funk perfectly

Truly incredible work, Chicago moment

Just not really a Portishead fan, don't think I ever will be, whole album is just meh

great album, one of the best Beatles solo works honestly

It's alright for this genre of 80s pop but I feel like it's nothing memorable and would get lost amongst more talented artists

Great stuff, anything with Lauryn Hill is a must

It's decent, pretty much all you'd need to hear of ZZ Top is on here

It's fine? Kinda hard to listen to since half the songs were copyright blocked on Spotify lol

A great early self-titled, but not The Stone's best

I'm all for interesting and creative rock, but this is just boring and often bad, sound like something I'd come up with as a 10 year old on a child's drum and keyboard set

Something for almost everybody on this, really solid blend of genres and style

Costello is a phenomenal talent, really one of the best artists of his era. This isn't my favorite album by him but it's great none the less

Bad, better than a lot of other meh grunge but most grunge is not great. You are not gonna get me to like Pearl Jam or Soundgraden, sorry, I do not care

Alright for early oughts punk, nothing to really write home about, very middle of the road

Incredible album, one of the greatest ever. One of the first albums I ever bought on vinyl. You a real hater if you can't get down with this

This is fine, middle of the road, nothing memorable, meh, whatever

Really solid stuff, Patti Smith is legendary for a reason, I don't think she's ever been overhyped

Pretty boring, really nothing I'd go back and listen to. Not badly produced or anything, just really unremarkable

Love these guys

THIS IS A CERTIFIED NEW VEGAS MOMENT

Really solid, probably one of the greatest soul albums ever made. Can't really go wrong with Sam Cooke

Great album, Neil Young is one of the greatest songwriters ever. Only reason that it's not 5 stars is that it's not as good as Harvest or After the Gold Rush

Public Image is fine, I think Johnny Rotten is an arrogant asshole and that sense permeates through most of LTD's songs but this album was decent

Wildly great, some sleeper hits, McCartney one is meh, but the highs are some of Jackson's best

Really good. I think Yellowbrick Road is a better album but most things like Elton John are unbeatable

It's fine, Rod Stewart is fine, I really don't have much more to say about this or him really

Wild sound, 2nd best Deee-Lite album probably

Pretty good, I don't really care that much for Yes but this has some classic hits on it

One of the greatest Irish bands ever. Please, I beg the public to associate Ireland with the Pogues instead of U2. I'll do anything. Please take Bono, we don't want him anymore, please, I'm begging you

Very good interesting album. Not really that well versed in South African music but I enjoyed this

This is GOOD. Not great, not \perfect, just good. Kraftwerk has better albums and better songs but this is still undeniably GOOD

THEY HATE US, WE HATE THEM

Awful awful awful. Some Billy Joel songs are ok, this album is like 90 percent trash. I think if I have to hear Scenes from an Italian Restaurant one more time in my life I won't be able restrain myself, just a terrible song

This isn't as good as Plastic Beach or Demon Days but it's probably their 3rd best album? Just not as solid all-around but still pretty great

I think Nick cave is fine, I just really don't fuck with his vocal style, I don't know what it is. He's undeniably talented but i just can't stand how he sounds between this, The Birthday Party, or any other project, sorry

Whatever? I could care less, frog man

Alright, kinda eclectic, not really sure what to feel about this, don't think I'd go out of my way to listen again but I didn't dislike it

Losing one star purely because while this is a masterpiece it's not the Beatles BEST album

This album is pretty much perfect for what it is. not perfect for me, but for what it's going for it hits every mark

BANGER AFTER BANGER

Great, really solid, some forgettable songs but the hits are hit way out of the park

Another Willie banger, never missed in those days

This album confused me lol, not really sure what it's trying to be. It's great in some parts and forgettable in others, very odd choices

I love you Steve, please put your stuff back on Spotify, please Steve, I need to blast Kerosene from my car without having to mad skip SoundCloud or YouTube every 5 seconds

I don't like Arctic Monkeys and I don't like this

It's fine, Zappa is whatever, this is about as middle of the road as you can get

Only gets a second star because there are like one or two ok songs on this but this is like buttrock for middle schoolers lol

Decent album, I hat Dave Nabarro though

Genuinely got excited when I saw this album come up yesterday, front to back banger after banger

Alright, good stuff, not bad at all, not exceptional

Neil does it again, he does it on every album if you ask me

Very middle of the road, I don't really have a solid opinion on Beck. Everything he puts out is good but doesn't particularly stand out to me

Meh, not huge on Pulp, a few good songs here, not really interesting to me overall though, kinda overrated

Pretty solid all around. Some meh songs on hit but you've got some classic hits too

Every Nick Cave album I listen to I like him less and less, please stop making me listen to Nick Cave

Overplayed, overrated, some good songs, otherwise nah

R.E.M. is overrated as shit, please stop recommending them to me. Only good thing on this album is Orange Crush

Insanely good, one of the greatest singers of all time, really unimpeachable stuff here

trash trash hair metal trash

Most Dylan is great, this is really no exception

Make it stop, why would you subject me to this?

Trahs

I SWEAR TO GOD IF I GET ONE MORE NICK CAVE LABUM ON HERE. PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP

Insanely good, nothing but winners, I Wanna be Adored

Pretty good, not Elvis' best work, still great for the time it was released in

Bad bad and more bad

For what this is it's near perfect. Cuban rhythm and guitar slaps

Incredible work, not my personal vibe but for what this is it's perfect

Herbie GOATed

Great, not my personal favorite Beatles album, but what can you say about Abbey Road that hasn't already been said

Ok, some decent stuff, some whatever, not really the best, pretty forgettable overall

Very good, just like almost everything Radiohead has ever done

Another Kendrick banger, fuck Drake

Trash, garbage even. Really no fucking idea what this was going for or why it's on this list, it blows

One of the greatest rap groups of all-time and one of the greatest rap albums of all-time

One of the best albums in this genre, revolutionary shit

I HATE NICK CAVE. PLEASE STOP MAKING ME LISTEN TO NICK CAVE

Only reason this is getting 4 and not 5 is because Doolittle is better

Good New Wave, not up there with the real heavy hitters but it's definitely in the rotation

Ass ass ass ass, worse and worse with each song

Solid country, great work

1/2 of the iconic Häagen-Dazs Duo. One of the best to ever do it

Alright, The Kinks have always felt a little derivative to me though, like a more meh version of The Beatles

I understand why this was such a hit but I just have heard it too many times and it's kinda played out, sorry Britney

Nuts, incredible work

Another electronic classic

Not my favorite country album on this list. Still pretty good but not overly memorable

Eh, not as good as some of the other electronic bands or albums from this era

Classic stuff but kinda reductive by modern standards

Another meh album by the Kinks that's reaklly only known for its one or two hits, sorry

This is the kinda thing you think is cool like your freshman year of college then immediately look back on it and realize how much it actually sucks

Good ol' Australian punk. Iconic for its time, alright now

One of the greatest albums of all time by one of the greatest bands of all time

Ironically, Young American is the worst song on this album lol

Alright, Gorillaz is a better Damon Albarn project and produces a better product, sorry

Trash just like this trash human being

Not Yes' best work in my personal opinion

Alright, kinda whatever, nothing particularly memorable

Harry Nilsson is undoubtedly incredibly talented, however this album just really does nothing for me. Probably has to do with how over played it is but it just doesn't feel special

Really fantastic. Not as good as some of the other stuff by members of this band but incredible none the less

Not really Gabriel's best, a lot better stuff that he's done

probably the best Michael Jackson album, every song bangs

I typically don't like PJ Harvey, not a strong dislike, I just find most of her stuff to be meh, but this album is the exception

Alright, I think there's a lot better stuff in this genre

Weird, kinda meh, basically forgot about it the second it ended

One of the greatest blues performers performing one of the greatest blues performances in one of the greatest blues cities in the world, what else can you say?

Really good, folky, interesting, exciting

Great, not KK's best, not my personal favorite, but still totally enjoyable

Honestly kinda overrated, sorry

Surprisingly great, way too fucking long though

Not Costello's best but everything he does is incredible so it's still an easy 4

Insanely good classic brit punk

I prefer Eno's more ambient work but this is still great

Ass, ass and more ass

Some good songs, some are just a little too weird

Bjork is great, you don't need me to tell you this

Dumb shit, sounds like something you’d hear at a Renaissance fair

One of the greate4st noise bands ever, they rarely if ever miss

Never really listened to this band before but they're surprisingly really good, fells like shittier Radiohead but in a good way

Ok, not really that great, kinda meh

Please stop recommending me Kings of Leon, they suck

Probably like top 10 country singers of all-time

Alright, some good, some bad

Incredible, very good harmony between R&B and Electronic

One of the best ever, Steely Dan rules

Pretty good first half, gets a little too weird and abstract in the second half

probably one of his bets live performances

Eh, it's ok. You either like Sinatra or you don't

Iconic, what else can be said?

Eh? LKinda generic for its genre and time, there's like 50 other albums just like it

pretty good, a little dated at this point though

One of the best experimental bands of the 90s-early 2000s honestly

Anybody from CSNY does great work

Every Smith's album is perfect, sorry

U2 is a disgrace to Ireland and Bono should be barred from the country forever

Banging

Lenny Kravitz is kinda ass, sorry

Holy crap Lois is that a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part Six Stone Ocean reference????!!!!

Good songs, but Joni Mitchell has better work out there

Great shit, not their best album but still rocks

Short and sweet

never cared for Taylor Swift, this shit is overhyped at best and annoying at worst

Never heard this album before but it was great

Awful buttrock trash

Riding 'round in a Rover If I see opps then it's over I'll send man straight to Jehovah When I take shots like M. Sharapova Doing up tennis Call man Dennis, I'm a Menace Doing up olives in Venice Big man ting, I'm bigger than Ben-is

Pretty alright, some really good stuff and some meh stuff

Impressive stuff honestly

The Model

I really just don't care for Sleater-Kinney, maybe I wasn't born early enough to find them as revolutionary as some people seem to think they are

Meh, unremarkable, don't really care about this at all

Fantastic album, The Fall's influence on the Manchester post-punk scene as it exists today is insane

Almost perfect techno, only a few songs that kinda stray from the path detract from it

I honestly find Joanna Newsom's voice extremely grating and annoying, I don't know what it is, sorry. The instrumentality is undoubtly great, I just can't deal with her voice, it's like if they tried to make American Bjork but it doesn't work

Genuinely surprising how good this is

I don't really like Ska that much but this is pretty decent stuff

Only missing 5 stars because The Wall is slightly better, but this is still one of the greatest albums ever

Moby is ass lol

One of Beastie's best, may be the best

Only receiving 4 because Hounds of Love clears Dreaming, sorry Kate

One of the better Bauhaus albums

Not really a Madonna fan, sorry

Incredibly good, what else can you say?

Meh, just kinda 50s-60s nothingness

One of the greatest new wave albums ever, really nothing more to say

Not Roxy Music's best but good by any band's standards

Who doesn't love Björk?

I love hardcore and the Circle Jerks, while up there with the greats, just aren't as good as some of the other ones

I don't like this band, most grunge outside of Nirvana is ass

This album is fine, it just happens to be full of really overplayed songs

it's fine, a little out there and not in a good way for me

Incredible, one of the most unique albums from this era

Middle-range Beatles album

Thank you Ian

I have no idea why this album is on here. genesis has some great albums and this one is just meh

Most of Prince’s best songs are on here so yeah, it’s pretty good

There's a lot of classic stuff on here but I've also heard it like 2,000 times so it doesn't really hit anymore

This is just kinda corny and stupid, I don't really care about it

One of the best sludge rock albums ever

Nah, I really don't know what the point of this album was but it honestly is complete meh

Fitzgerald is arguably the best in her genre, this album just exemplifies it

Just not my thing, sorry Madonna

There’s some really good stuff on here and then there’s some really not good stuff, very mixed bag

Eh, not their best work

This is good, I guess? I don't listen to this type of music often so I have no idea what the general quality range is. I thought it was fine

Eh, whatever? I legit forgot I listened to this the next day

One of the greatest rap albums ever

A disgrace to the nation of Ireland, I apologize that we are associated with these people

Sick album, never heard of these guys before but I really love the Brazilian psych sound
