I enjoyed this album, just because of how much was going on in it. A lot of weird sounds. Reminded me a lot of Radiohead. Apparently won album of the year over OK computer. Also, seems to be before Kid A came out---this album definitely influenced the end of "The National Anthem".

This album is one of my favorites. It has a fantastic alternative rock style which combines low-effort musicianship with mature song writing. Has this free feel which I really like. Cut Your Hair is a classic ear worm. Stephen Malkmus is the Bob Dylan of mid 90's alt rock---if you can get over his terrible voice there's some great songs.

What's not to like about this album? The Golden Slumbers -> The End is one the most fantastic endings to album of all time, Harrison gets more songwriting time on this album with two slaps: Something and Here comes the sun.
Also worth noting: we previously listened to A Hard Day's Night, which came out in 1964. This album, five years later, is completely unrecognizable from that era of Beatles. Five years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Name another band which had such a rapid career arc. You can't!

I saved this to liked albums on spotify and will listen to it in the future, however I started getting tired of it by the end of the album. The first song is an absolute banger, and frustrations is something we all can agree with:
"The frustrations of a young man...we get ambition to build house to buy car. Marry wife and and enjoy life.....you gotta borrow borrow beg beg till you die."
Frustrations of a young man in Seattle with 900k dump houses.
Weak four. I'm a sucker for world music.

Never understood SY. This was...ok. LOW three. Kool thing an ok track, the rest sounded too cool and hipster for me. I guess this is one of those "you should have heard it at the time" albums.

The Renaissance
Q-Tip
This is a nice album, q-tip has always had a cool voice and flow, but by no means should this be in the top 1000. This isn't anywhere close to landmark, and just seems out of touch with what is important/good/definitive in hip hop.
Three for the album, but absolutely baffled this is on the list.

In A Silent Way
Miles Davis
This is three star not because of how good it is musically, but because of how OUT there it is. This is Jazz that Miles Davis created out of thin air, with no direction, no theme, but real musical complexity that is undeniable from the perspective of "art".

Wilco
This has to be peak Wilco. The song writing and creativity on this album is high level. Lots of interesting sounds, use of dynamics, many different instruments. Beach boys-esque sans harmonies. However, the album really lacks gusto. Much prefer the live versions of the songs as seen on "kicking television" weak five.

Anthem of early high school and middle school. This album goes so hard, and is filled with non-radio hits. Peters out in the end. However, I can't say I don't feel "power chorded out" by the end of this album. Its really simplistic. Still fun.

At Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash
I had never listened to this album and had high hopes. Cash is timelessly cool, and that still comes off during this recording. Lots of banter, hollering by inmates. What a cool setting. That being said, after a few song I was pooped of listening to what seemed to be the same song over and over again. Another negative: his voice goes limp like five songs in and he starts begging for water. Strong two, weak three.

Muse
This album barely makes the 5 star criteria with five good songs. Take a bow, Starlight, Invincible, Knights of Cydonia, map of the problematic. Muse certainly has a sound and it is really well produced in this album. A lot of shit on this album though....wish they had more material from this era.

2-3 stars, depending on how you wanna compare it to some of the stinkers on this list.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory
Oasis
Dont Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova are some of the best rock anthems of all time. Its funny to me that Wonderwall gets so much press from this album.
I can't think of any song I don't listen to on this album, although Cast No Shadow is weak.
Oasis were just fantastic, chord driven song writers. Great melodies that you can sing all day. This is one of my more five star albums of all time.

The Smashing Pumpkins
This album is marvelously produced, has so many layers, goes from quiet to soft , and is overall sonically rich.
The pumpkin's songwriting is so melodic. Without a doubt the most gifted songwriting of the grunge era.
Corgan's voice pairs perfectly with fuzz distorted guitars.
Tasteful use of feedback.
Guitar solos are well crafted, non-virtuoso, and designed for melody enhancement rather than showmanship.
Mayonnaise still hits hard.

Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
Is there a good Stone's album? Does this really deserve to be on the list? Is there a Stone's album that's chock full of hits or is completely listenable for its entirety? Maybe I'm not boomer enough, but having two slappers dispersed into snoozers is not indicative of a good album. Rather, it seems as if the Stone's longevity is due to the consistent release of one or two fantastic songs on each album. I'm not denying their talent, just that this album deserves to be on here when many other albums are more complete and polished.
This is a 2/5 for two good songs.

It doesn't matter if people tell me this album is important because its the original punk album. There is so much wrong with it, it was hard to listen to. One dang star. My face after listening to this is the same as the guy's face on the album cover.

Decidedly meh album.
Can really hear Brian and Freddies uniqueness which gives it the queen "sound" but the songs kind of stink. Seven seas of rhye is a good song, but the only one on the album that is memorable. The album art is classic.
One good song = one star.
I'll bump it up to two stars for album art and musicality.
