Good album with some classic hits
Bluesy but nothing sets it apart from every other blues album. Little Wing cover is a sad shadow of the original. Either 1001 is too low of a bar or I do not see eye to eye with the music crititcs who made this list.
This album shaped my college years and is still very enjoyable. Good listen from start to finish and a defining album of the late 2000s.
Pretty good albums, fast flowing lyrics with clever rhythms
It was OK, nothing stood out as exceptional. Beatles inspired classic rock but not as good as the Beatles. They sound more like the poppy earlier Beatles albums but do have some moments inspired by Sgt Pepper.
Great album, love the vocals, not something I'd normally listen to.
Angsty mid 90s metal. I can smell it from my speakers. Children of the Korn is one of my top 100 songs, so there's that.
Catchy guitar pop, a bit heavy on teenage angst but mostly enjoyable to listen.
Droning, almost white noise. Great music to completely ignore. Not bad but not something to actively listen to.
Not a big fan of Cheap Trick and I do not generally like live albums. This, being both of those, was not for me.
Cute album, great song. Groove is in the heart brings back memories. The rest of the album is OK.
I had enough 80s rock in the 80s. This one isn't particularly memorable. I could tell from the description I wouldn't like this one; Neil and Bruce are definitely not my favorite artists from the 80s and I do not generally relate to Americana.
They remind me of The Postal Service but with a little too much Coldplay. Decent album but I probably won't seek it out again.
Not my thing but seems to be interesting and well-played. Reminds me of Peter Gabriel who is also not my thing.
Turns out I am not a fan of The Who. They have their couple good songs but most of these are boring, simple in a bad way, and being live just makes it worse.
Catchy electronic music, several fantastic songs on this album. Here be earworms.
Usually when unusual instruments (sitar, bagpipes, etc) are added to western music it is just added on top of rather than integrated into the music. A few bands/albums/songs do this well, but this is not one of them.
This was a fun rabbit hole on racism and the race riots of 1992. Great album and political commentary.
Repetitive and Jazzy. Good music but not my thing. Great saxaphone.
The toy story guy singing country tropes with the support of a big band. I am definitely not jamming to this.
Big band and country tropes sung by the Toy Story guy. Definitely not my thing. Also, the one song I enjoyed (Mr. President, from the Forrest Gump soundtrack) is not available on YTM I assume due to licensing issues. Lame.
Wow those 70s vocals. Maybe this was a great revolutionary album back then but now it's meh. They are striving for that Simon & Garf folksy sound but miss the mark. They go a bit extra with accordian, banjo, strings, wind instruments which is also not my thing; they are great when they add to the song, but here they seem more on top of the song. Another great example of where the critics and I are not seeking the same thing. Linda's vocals are the only redeeming feature.
My second favorite Beatles album. They are really coming into their sound. Half the songs are very memorable, and the other half are in the Medley and still quite good.
Good singer/songwriter album. Very 90s.
I love Genius of Love, one of my favorite songs. Great dance album with interesting tunes and rhythms.
I liked this album more thirty years ago than I do now. Going Down and Water Song are classics but generally the 80s machismo has not aged well. I could pick 1000 albums better than this one.
Not my favorite talking heads album, but a good listen. The singing is a bit more enthusiastic but a bit less melodic than other albums.
Kinda seems like noise. Has recognizeable aspects of punk and grunge but not as good as other examples of those styles. Sounds like a mediocre garage band both in skill and recording quality.
The title track is familiar. Overall OK, interesting vocals. Not bad but not something I'll seek out.
This album was iconic and everywhere in 2000-2001. However, I was not a fan then and like it less now. All the whining, not my thing.
Title track is iconic. Most of the other songs are covers, no vocals at all. Great song, OK album.
Lou Reed at his best. Perfect Day is one of my all time favorite songs, Satellite of Love is also great.
It is electronic pop. Daft Punk is both older and better but this is OK.
As much as I want to like prog rock, it is too much like wanking.
Some songs I recognize, not bad but definitely not my thing.
As much as I dislike classic rock, this album is worth a listen. Many of the tracks are forgettable, but the Foreplay intro is iconic.
Some pretty good Muzak. Great background sound to ignore during a long hot bath or on an elevator.
Great album, especially the first track Violet. Lots of energy and emotion.
OK electronic album, a bit more repetitve and derivative than some of his other work.
Fantastic electronic album, one of my favorites.
Droning vaguely whiny album with quiet off-key lyrics. Other bands like HUM do it way better.
Old school feel good punk rock. Not as good as The Clash, but still a good time.
Weird "world music" sounding electronic. It feels like a new technique applied to an old style. Unfortunately I do not enjoy that old style, so this is not really for me.
It seems to be well-made but it is not my thing. I see it is world music, so this is another example of my disinterest in the genre. I've probably heard some of these songs at mexican restaurants.
This is like 2000s indie but with less music and more noise. However they still put some good songs in the mix. My Girls is one that surprised me, a bunch of noise layered together sounds good. The repetition in every song gets old after a while.
This is very similar to Radiohead with an emphasis on symphony instruments.
Fun old album.
OK album, lots of noise, I've heard better from this band.
I really loved this song... when I was 5. The title track is famous but unimaginative. No other songs are noteworthy, album is boring. There were much better albums in 1984.
Nice bass line right at the start! This is not really my bag but it was enjoyable for what it is.
Velvet Goldmind soundtrack. It is not something I would have sought but in that context I enjoy many of these songs.
This is the music some of the artists I love grew up listening to. However, they have taken the ideas and made them much better.
Everyone knows almost every song on this album, the whole thing is iconic. I used to thump to this on 8 track in the garage.
Great singing, decent songs. Nothing really stuck with me.
hobbit rock!
"it's just noise"
I love this album. In the context of his death it can be difficult to listen to.
Personal bias, I hate Coldplay. Too whiny.
Not bad but boring.
Hillbilly gospel older than my mom. Some songs are OK... some had interesting lyrics or maybe modern lexicon makes it interesting, hard to say.
Some of the guitar is good. The vocals and other stuff, not my thing. It has a bit of a middle earth feel.
Interesting mashup of blues and middle eastern music. Not a fan of middle eastern music but it is well made.
I hate Neil Young, but of course old dude music critics say it's the best. Whiny old music with no redeeming qualities, everything he's done has been done better by someone else.
There was good electronic music in the 80s. This is not it. It feels like a transition between 80s music and 90s music with the worst of both worlds.
Why volume 4? The first three albums are infinitely better. This album is from the decline, including crowd pleasers like "obligitory ballad because we're trying to expand our sound" and "that one song that people kinda recognize".
Decent soul album. Not my favorite genre but it was OK enough.
Sample heavy and manic. Music for DJs to listen to, but not music to enjoy for its own sake (IANADJ).
The 00s called and said this album is lit. This was one of the headliners of peak Indie.
Decent singer songwriter album, not particularly memorable.
I hate the singer's voice. Show stopper, next album.
Decent album, nice on a rainy day.
I love the Eels. This is a great representative album of the 90s.
Some of that Lenny style comes through but he's obviously still developing it in this first attempt. It sounds like "Lemmy does classic rock", not bad but not yet great. Another example of an album that is interesting in context but not The Best.
Doesn't belong on this list. This is like B grade Pixar soundtrack stuff. Repetitive in a bad way, gets on my nerves.
Good album but Suburbs and Funeral are better.
I saw the name Stills and my stomach sank. This is the Stills of Crosby, Stills, and Nash and they are just not my thing. Old white guys love listening to old white guys but I just don't get it.
If any classic rock would suit me, Janis Joplin would be it. Album does not disappoint, one of the best examples in the genre. That brings it up to 3 stars.
Son of a preacher man is a great song. The rest of the album lacks that attitude.
Enjoyable. Has Mrs Robinson and Hazy Shade of Winter.
Mediocre.
Good for a pre-punk album in the early 70s. The guitar from Personality Crisis sounds exactly like another song I can't place. I love the drag album art. The fact that this is on 1001 albums list shows a lot about the old white dudes who made this list; it's a nostalgia piece and part of the punk story but does not stand up on its own as one of the 1001 best albums of all time.
A concert recording... from 1975. Hard pass.
Pleasantly surprised, it is a dude playing piano pretty well. No obnoxious crowd noise.
OK funk album.
This was recorded with a potato. I don't like most live recordings, and this one lives up to that expectation.
OK album. A couple good songs. Beatles-esque.
Nothing of note.
OK album, nothing really stood out.
OK album... black magic woman is kinda fun for the bass and lyrics but I could do without the guitar.
Boring.
Nerd! The singing is utterly awful. The music is 70s prog rock, which mean it sounds like everyone else except without constraint to societal norms like key signature or musical expecations.
There are too many crappy 60s and 70s albums on this list. OK boomer, nobody cares what you listened to on the radio while snogging Peggy Sue.
Not my kind of punk, I don't like the way he sings. Fun to see live but not to listen sitting at a desk. That is to say, the experience is fun but the music itself is not great.
Boring. 70s muzak.
OK funk album.
RAAAAGHB BLOODY RAAAAAAAAAGHB
The best example of a shitty genre is still shitty. But hey, it's better than the fogey rock (Clapton et al) on this list so there's that.
Decent album, fun listen.
An icon of the 90s. Good stuff.
Nice rainy day album, sad yet chipper at the same time
Low key sad music very much like The Smiths.
Now we're talking, great classic punk album.
OK album, kinda boring. Not surprised given the vintage, people had different standards back then.
It's a country mega album but the sum is less than its parts. For example, Keep on the sunny side is a bit of a noisy mess, like a bar singalong, where The Carters and The Whites keep it clean.
However, it is 1000x better than that pop they call country on the radio.
Somebody to love and White rabbit are great songs... rest of the album is not in the same league. Basically Grace is a great lead singer and carries the album, songs without her lead are blah.
OK album.
By "experimental" he means just making sounds and not following the expectations of music. Oh you want singing that follows a rhythmic pattern? too bad. It is still OK, but I'm not really enjoying David's singing.
Interesting album, I enjoyed it.
Once in a lifetime is great, but the album is otherwise not that memorable.
His voice is the opposite of soothing, but the acoompanying music is folksy and soothing. It's a weird mix, not my thing. Why is this "one of rock music's most important records"? It's just some dude doing his weird thing.
As an example, Neutral Milk Hotel is even more weird and artsy but Jeff's voice is more palateable because he is not always yelling at me.
WTF even is this? I guess it's the UK version of crappy classic rock. Does not belong on this list.
Great classic, on periodic rotation for the last 20 years.
