1001 Albums Summary

Awesome album! I've never listened to anything besides Free Bird, but glad I made it through the whole thing. Tracks 1 and 3 were really good, and production on this (was it a remaster?) very clean and makes the album sound more contemporary than it really is

Amazing from front to back. This is one I always meant to sit down and listen to, but never did. 5/5. Favorite track: Eternal Life

An all-timer. Even though Money for Nothing and Walk of Life were the big singles off this album, the best tracks are So Far Away and Your Latest Trick. Every song on this record comes from a different genre, which is something you don't really get anymore. I miss albums like this...a full album that plays like a compilation. Rate: 5/5 Favorite Track: Your Latest Trick

Finally, an artist I've never heard of. True music discovery. Three songs in, and I'm not feeling it. Sounds like a punk/new wave hybrid, and not much in the way of musicality. I know that's a feature not a bug, but it's not my thing. I'm going to push through and finish the album because who knows Eight songs in and my opinion hasn't changed. This sound is so spot-on new wave, it could be satire. Welp, I made it. Honest opinion: I hated it. I can see why this could be seen as the genre-defining album for New Wave, and I guess I learned that I hate New Wave. Rating: 1/5 No favorite song I'll probably listen to some 90's rock now, to cleanse my palette.

This is a classic. Every track is such a mood. I really enjoyed listening to this one, and added it to a list I'll listen to whenever I want to relax

Fantastic classic rock album! I'm not a fan of the genre, but this being a live album made it fun to listen to. I don't think I'd listen again, though. 3/5 Favorite track: Child In Time

Classic Aerosmith. I think we take Steven Tyler's voice for granted at this point, but can you imagine hearing it for the first time, back in the 70s? A controlled, disciplined, musical scream? Rating: 4/5 Favorite Track: Last Child. Rock and Funk had a baby

A very psychedelic experience. Like something out of an Austin Powers movie. Every track has the same feel and they all sound alike. Didn't care for it, but I made it through to the end. Rating: 2/5 Favorite Track: Bummer in the Summer

This was a wild listen. It gives you a view into the Bee Gees before they took over the disco genre. And frankly it's...good? Definitely not the Bee Gees you're used to, but they're such amazing songwriters. Every track is catchy. I may end up adding this to some sort of rotation. It's a nice change when I feel like hearing their vocals but tire of the Saturday Night Fever stuff Rating: 3/5 Favorite Track: Never Say Never Again

Wtf is this? 1/5
