1001 Albums Summary

Like random access memories and tame impala had a baby, decently groovy and funky but not quite to my liking. a little bit slow. A good song or two but the rest seemed like filler to me

funky soul, but nothing that blew me away. run charlie run was a surprise

Love Bowie but this album is quite samey, at least two really good songs on here though

Quintessential 70s rock

Song 2 is an absolute classic rest of the album solid but not mind blowing

Phenomenal from start to finish

Didn't do much for me, nice background music I suppose

Didn't do much for me

Nothing wrong with this album but for my money nothing to make it special either. Easy listening rock but no song stood out to me

Apparently this album is influential and that's why it is included in this list. The only thing this album influenced me to do was turn it off

Enjoyable

Very relaxing and enjoyable

Needs another listen to properly form an opinion, but I did enjoy it

Hesitant to put this as a 5 because I'd say it's closer to 4.5 but it's undeniable the influence and scale of the songs on this album, not something I would listen to regularly but great nonetheless

Listened to this 2 or 3 times back to back, surprised by just how much I enjoyed this rock. I'm wondering if chili peppers and the foo took any inspiration from this album because it just reminds me of lots of their stuff

I respect dolly as both a musician and a person but country is not my jam. A few nice instrumentals but other than that nothing here for me.

Enjoyable but not groundbreaking

1st song has a really good instrumental - voice is a bit odd? Track 2 also has really fun percussion and guitar work, and it's that screaming that's not quite screaming that's actually enjoyable Didn't really enjoy song 3, just too long. Also apparently it's about Ted Bundy, fucking lol Really enjoyed the use of various instruments further down the album, like the steel drums and what I think was the violin.

Arguably quite a one-note album, enjoyable songs on here but they are all too similar

Can see why Jan likes this, very funky. That being said the songs can be quite long and other than a few they are quite mediocre so 3/5 for me

Like a prayer is very catchy and I really enjoyed the collab with Prince but this isn't really an album that I personally would listen to very often. Still liked it

I don't know, just kind of lacked heart I think

Really beautiful lyricism and gospel sounds. A very distinct voice as well.

Quite enjoyable, not usually my type of music but I found myself having more fun than expected

Not a single song really stood out to be honest, though I did enjoy the album as it is unique and the references to pirate radio was fun

Probably needs another listen, it was alright though

Definitely understand the comparisons between radiohead and muse so it's no surprise I enjoyed this as much as I did

It was pretty good, not really my music though but the first couple of songs are very catchy

This feels unfair on this album but I feel like throughout the process of this 1001 albums thing I have listened to soooo many British punk rock bands from this era. There's nothing wrong with this but I'm just getting sick of the lack of variety? How can all these albums be influential when they all sound the same? I'll give it a 3 because this wasn't a fair assessment and the music isn't bad

Beautiful music in this album, no notes

Really enjoyable, not really a genre I have listened to much but this album was fun

Very funky but slightly repetitive

Fun album, the message is obviously a standout

Quite boring honestly

Very interesting insight into music I haven't heard much of. Not something I could listen to regularly but the music is very enchanting

Pretty fun, nothing groundbreaking but I enjoyed it quite a lot

Not really my type of thing, it's not inherently bad just not my music

Really enjoyed it

Good all round but I preferred revolver

Decent but nothing groundbreaking

Really enjoyable and different to stuff I normally listen to

Yeah I mean it's nothing special

Really enjoyed the album from top to bottom

Not my thing

Boring

Not a surprise that I enjoyed this, Nile makes excellent music

It was alright, slightly boring I would argue

Decent

Need to give it another listen

Very distinct voice, and some of these songs were very catchy

Not for me

Surprised how much fun I had listening, Geoff is really on to something here

4/5, once again surprised by how much fun this was

Nice and soothing albeit slightly dull

Fun

A few songs I really liked whilst the rest was quite middle of the road

Reminded me to listen to more arcade fire, but I prefer the suburbs as an album

Not really a jazz person but this was fun, I think if I was there for this recording I'd have a good time but it's not something I can see myself listening to much in the future

Good fun, I need to listen again for sure

Some good songs on here

Very enjoyable album

The album really grew on me as it went on, excellent instrumentals

Nice use of various instruments, nice background music but not something I could listen to much of for an extended period of time

Surprised by how fun this was

Really fun album from start to finish, classic rock

Good, but I thought I'd enjoy it more than I did

I mean this is not really my music, and so went in with little expectations.. but I can see why people think that Kanye is a very talented musician despite being a troublesome character. Some of these songs were like 4 but the album as a whole, for me, is a 2

Cool background music I guess

Really unique, and I enjoyed it a lot

funky soul, but nothing that blew me away. run charlie run was a surprise

Good fun, true sound of the 60s

Was definitely groovy

Funky af

Really fun hard rock, two songs made my playlist so

Eh

I enjoyed it but it started to get quite repetitive

Punky, I liked it. Good fun and the last track was very funny

Lovely background music

Want to give it a 4.5 but I'll round to 5 cause I had fun! Enjoyed it a lot

Layla is the standout but I enjoyed this

I actually quite liked one of the earlier songs, Duke of Earlsfield. This type of music doesn't usually put me off but this album was too one note.

Really enjoyed that - classic rock and roll

I enjoyed it! Easy listening for sure

Roaring and very enjoyable

Not really my thing, some of the background and instrumentals are good but this genre doesn't appeal to me. I feel bad ranking it down but this is a personal ranking soooo...

It's good, but the album is quite samey and I got bored. Sorry

Funky and easy listening but I did get bored

Obviously very impressive this many notable songs came from one album

One or two really good songs but otherwise fairly middling for me

The album grew on me as it went.. Sounded quite experimental from what little other stuff I have heard from Madonna.

Really enjoyed this, easy listening and fun

Makes me kind of like country

Enjoyed this

This whole album was really fun

Not as good as other steely Dan albums but I still enjoyed it a lot

Two one note for me, I got quite bored

An appropriately named album because I think the strongest songs bookend it. The entire album is very mellow and relaxed but I did find myself getting a little bit bored in the middle. The start and end of the album are very fun songs though so I think it saves this from being lower

Really fun album from start to finish imo, not surprised that I liked it so much really

Enjoyed more than I expected as it isn't really my genre

Quite a fun album, lots of variety. Didn't really know what to expect because I felt like it's just a name I've heard of but not only did I recognise a few songs I liked many more 4

Really enjoyed this, had a lot of variety and I added a few songs to my playlist
