Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Only liked one song, Maps, and it was the one that doesn’t sound like any of their other songs…

Doolittle by Pixies
Aug 09 2023

Touted as one of the most influential bands of the 80s and... I only liked 1 song from this album. Most of the songs don't have a lot of views and rightfully so.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 10 2023

Only liked one song, Maps, and it was the one that doesn’t sound like any of their other songs…

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

Thought this was better than it actually is

Debut by Björk

Aug 30 2023

This was, without a doubt, the most grating music I have ever heard. It sounds wrong; as if the instruments are out of tune. The sounds coming out of this thing are like undiscovered melodies that should have remained lost. The quiet vocals feel thrown in like spaghetti against a wall. I put this album on for my morning commute and arrived in record time because I wanted the music to end. This album on loop is akin to torture.

Rapture by Anita Baker

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Forgettable british trash

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 26 2023
Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 28 2023

Started off really strong, last half of the album was filled trash

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Oct 29 2023

Good voice, boring songs

Heroes by David Bowie
Nov 01 2023

The first half of the album has Heroes (a song where every single cover is better than the original), and the last half is just noise… trash album

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Nov 16 2023
Green by R.E.M.
Nov 18 2023
A Seat at the Table by Solange
Nov 23 2023

Whoever put this on this list should be embarrassed

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 27 2023
Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Nov 28 2023

He should have used one of those wishes for the ability to make good music. 3 Bowie albums so far, 3 trash albums so far.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Nov 29 2023

Boring stuff dude

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 01 2023
Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 02 2023
Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Dec 03 2023

Hey 1001, albums that have 1 memorable song and a bunch of forgettable ones isn't an album you have to listen to. Thank you.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Dec 07 2023

1001 Albums has some terrible music, sifting through the 10 garbage albums to find 1 diamond. Even the name of this is dumb.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Dec 08 2023
Cut by The Slits

Movies by Holger Czukay

Music for people on drugs.

B-52's by The B-52's

Synchronicity by The Police
Dec 20 2023

How the creator of 1001 albums picks his albums: Trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE. 10/10 album, must listen to before you die.

Third by Portishead
Dec 25 2023

The first song was intriguing, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not and had to play it back a couple of times. The rest of the album I was 100% sure I didn't like.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 05 2024

Like listening to your neighbor’s music through the wall

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 08 2024

Not my kind of music

xx by The xx

Jan 28 2024

Listening to the first song, I thought it was another artist with the same name as Common, I was unexpectedly digging it and looking forward to the rest of the album as I thought I'd discovered something new and great. The rest of the album was not good.

This music slaps

One World by John Martyn
Mar 01 2024

His voice in the first song gives sandpaper nightmares and then he mellows out a bit. Not my thing.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 02 2024

A bit repetitive but some funky beats up in here.

Mar 03 2024

I was a big Ice Cube fan growing up. Strong, aggressive rapping but listening to his full albums is repetitive, sounds like he has the a couple rhymes for each word and he reuses them in every song. Boring songs right here.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Oct 26 2024

Another 1001 dud... trash trash trash SABOTAGE trash trash trash. You have to listen to this, it has 1 good song!!!

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Oct 27 2024

Music they play when you’re on hold on the phone, but not as catchy.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.

Cool beats, not a fan of the songs though. Will check out more.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Nov 16 2024

The Zombies… should have stayed dead. This is absolute crap, amateur hour.

War by U2
Nov 18 2024
Elastica by Elastica

Rubbish

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jun 11 2025

Trash. 1001 albums fails yet again.

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 12 2025
The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

If this crap is on the list, I imagine the good Beach Boys album is on the list somewhere.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 14 2025

Trash! Talking and bad singing over bad music. 1001 albums you have to listen to doesn’t know anything yet again.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2025

The beats intrigued me but none of the songs came together.
