1001 Albums Summary

This is ace. The lyrics are what stand out. It also sounds full for an album that is so old. I’m biased by being a Dylan fan, but I forgot how unusual this album is compared to anything you’d hear now. 5/5

Sounds a bit dated to me. Very 80s. Of course, I only really know Aerosmith from their mid-career stuff. The hits hold up but not an album I’d need to listen to from start to finish. 3/5 70/100

Love this one. It’s my buddy, Gil’s, favorite album. 5/5 89/100

I don’t think people appreciate how punk the Go-Go’s were because the recorded version is slicker. Driving. Catchy. 82/100 4/5

3/5

1/5 Couldn’t wait for this one to end. It’s like the worst Indy bookstore soundtrack ever.

Really solid album. Queen had range.

Love Lou Reed. This would fall under deep cuts for me. I think the standout stuff is the lyrics and the way he paints a picture with his words.

A little too overproduced for me. Everything feels like it has a layer of smudge on it. This hides the songs. I’d listen to it again but not sure if I would listen to the full album. 70/100 3/5

Definitely a nighttime album. I’d put this on with some wine and a dark room. 4/5 80/100

Great album. New to me. I know Cat Stephens, but as a cultural figure and not by his songs. Totally listening to this one again. 5/5 90/100

Interesting. Not my thing. 2/5

4/5

Excellent album. Great peak jazz. 5/5

Never heard this. But I’m a fan. Sort of Talking Heads style. 3/5

Never heard of this guy before. But it is weirdly good stuff.

I like this. Mellow, melodic. Never listened to it before. 4/5

Some big band era sounds. Some really cool horror movie vibes. An eclectic album. 3/5

Peak early-2000s garage rock. It’s solid and fast. 4/5

She’s a proper Spurs fan so that gives her a boost from the jump. 3/5

5/5
