1001 Albums Summary

Layla is the only enjoyable song

Solid. Very catchy songs, ended with a couple wiffs

Very 90s. Not in a good way

Just ok. A few catchy songs with enjoyable guitar

I like James brown, but hate live albums

Very unique album with lots of character and fun songs. Indie with strong guitar and interesting instrument solos

Album was really only saved by the long instrumental sections of chill elevator music. Not something I'd look forward to listening to unless it's in the background

I just hate live albums. They spend forever "playing" with the crowd with isn't fun to listen to. And there's only one good song, space truckers

Drew me in with its odd atonal random passages. Kinda became too random as the album went on and was hard to listen to

Short. Ugly. Attitude

Didn't understand a word, still a great album. Big band feel with catchy vibes.

Lots of very solid songs and variety

Just ok. It was slow, bur interesting. I would listen again

Pretty solid. Got to respect the founders. Only about half the songs are something I would listen to again.

Just ehh

Interesting album, with a great story behind it. Perhaps just not my favorite genre

Pretty boring. I get that is the genre, but I just couldn't find anything interesting about it

Not my favorite Abba album

Old man music

Interesting listen with a couple terrible country songs thrown in there

Not fun to listen to

Interesting throughout. Not expecting to like it as much as I did

There's just so much hype around nirvana and I don't get it.

Kinda interesting. Very dated but still worth listening to

Pretty boring and not my style. Her lyrics are child like

Pretty good, casual

Pretty annoying

Not bad Her voice is a little annoying but still powerful in the right songs

Just ok. A few catchy songs

Weird in an interesting way, but I couldn't get into the singers voice/ range

Americana vibe with great horns

Slow but melodic. Very fun to listen to

Nah. Lots of tonal changes with serious notes and comedic lyrics. Don't think I can get behind supporting Kanye though

Weird and beautiful to listen to. Never heard of them before this listen. Really liked some of the "growling" harmonies Reminds me of artic monkeys / radiohead / Coldplay. I'll look into other stuff by them.

Sounds like new wave. Not overly melodic or interesting. Worth a listen though I guess

Interesting but got old since its over an hour. Good to listen to with other things going on. I would listen to more by this artist

Was a 1 star until the last 4 songs really picked it up and saved the album. Nothing super special about it.

Just ok. Listened to in the background

Very sexual

Very boring

Not my favorite Arctic Monkeys album, but still miles better than most albums on this list

What is Madonna famous for? It can't be music because this is seriously awful

Fun to listen to. It was a little repetitive but interesting to listen to different takes of the same songs

Sounds like what people who listen to pop think indie sounds like. Just talking over a strummed guitar. Kinda 90s

Quieter for bowie. Solid I guess. 2.5 stars

I had no idea what to expect going in as I didn't recognize the artist. I knew some of the songs and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and interesting songs. Wasn't my favorite but I can see why it's on the list. 3

Very solid with less vamps and more attitude. I understand why these songs became jazz legends. 4 stars

No thanks. 2 star

Repetitive

I'd like to think the album is self aware and was purposely offensive and terrible. But I don't think it was

Not add bad as the other reviews make it out to be 2.75 stars

I liked Avalanche, but just didn't like the 'sing talking' through the whole album

Another album where I enjoy the music but just can't get over the singer. Maybe it's me. Either way, too much vibrato and purposeful voice cracks

Most of it sounds the same. Very 90s with a Sarah McLachlan breathy vibe

Just very boring and uninspired

Sounds like it's trying really hard to be unique but just comes across as stoner classic rock. Maybe I'll try again when under the influence to see if it's better.

Purposely bad. I guess it achieves its purpose. I guess I could listen to it buy it doesn't elicit any interest. 2.5

I wasn't a fan going in as my only experience was E-pro from guitar hero. Pleasantly surprised. Would listen again

So great. Lots of memorable riffs and emotional songs

Not her best album, not a genre best album, not a decade best album. Had a few interesting backing tracks, but doesn't elevate it.

Couple strong songs, but mostly kinda boring. I guess i would listen again. 2.5

I just don't like it. I really want to but it's not musical.

Pretty diverse I only knew we got the beat, but liked This Town. Some early rock / rock influences, best New wave I've heard on this list so far

Kinda stream of consciousness. Would listen to again in the right mood

This is how you do a live album. Don't know what it is, but something just stuck with me about it.

Want to give it 5 stars, but it's not earth shattering good. Roundabout really elevates the album. Like the last long song too. Liking prog beforehand really increases my chances to like this album though

I cannot stand this album. Between the purposeful dissonant vocals, repetitive 5 seconds loops, and terrible electronic I'm just annoyed listening to it. Features were the only positive

Pretty solid early rock. Not bangers, but listenable and enjoyable.

Just noise. Not great, but I guess it wasn't horrible.

Unique sound, but kinda all blends together. Would listen again

I really wanted to like it since im into funk. Just nothing really stood out or make me make the face.

"When I dream" was unbearable. Everything else was just background noise.

Some great songs, but slowed down in the middle

I don't really see the draw. Maybe it was new and cool at the time, but it just reminds me of the cranberries and awful "voice cracks"

Pretty chill with some indie interesting vibes. Would listen to again.

It's ok

Hard to listen to with headphones. Feels shrill and too much vibrato.

Absurdist, vulgar but meaningless. Kinda a bop tho

Singer sounds deaf. Nothing inspiring

funky, fresh, heavy, solid

I guess I have to like it?

Unique. Starts with an R&B micro tonal song with 50s/vinyl overlays, eventually becomes more iconically Idoan. Slightly over produced.

Just ok. Lots of styles that are permutations of dad rock

fun sounds, weird lyrics, great sound mixing.

Lots of variety in song intensity, and has plenty of catchy riffs. Second half does kinda just feel like noise though bumping it down from 4 to 3

Nice. Lots of classics. Only good at Christmas though

Only ok at the beginning then just generic soft rock. A little dated

Only good song was drive my car

Boring. Singer has no range. Not punk, just soft rock

I'm pretty tired of boring forgettable brit pop dominating the list. Nothing makes the album special.

No slowing down the whole album. An assault on your ears, in a good way. The sampling is a bit much but keeps the intensity going. Still saying the same things today.

Kinda transitioned into trance music. Not terribly engaging or interesting, but definitely not bad. Worth a listen.

Another boring brit pop album. Definitely need more variety in this lost. Nothing special here. 2 stars

Lots of great classics, and some I had never heard that made me tap my foot. 4 stars

All the same as Blitzkrieg bop. Still not bad though. Mush mouth

Just ok. Background music

For country. I didn't hate it. System for 20G was the best song

Has some classics, but also some hidden gems I hadn't heard like voodoo

Fun and funky. long songs, but worth the time.

Relaxing and interesting.

Great Americana. Just a unique sound that I'm always happen to listen to.

Nah. Kinda gross

I guess I just don't love prince. It's nothing that really captivates me.

Just ok. Kinda interesting from a historical perspective, but not really a great album to have on here

Not that great. It was mostly boring background music. But I guess it was listenable

Boy did I hate the singer. But i hated more how much I liker the backing tracks

If you've heard one you've heard the album. I knows there even better taylor swift than this. Do I have to listen to 8 other better albums by her on this list?

Probably my favorite bowie album. Liked the electronic portions

Funky from start to finish. Filled with great songs and powerful voices

Relaxing. Fun and obviously off the cuff. Made an interesting listen

Great drums. Goes on a little too long

Not great Bob. Only barely made 2 stars.

Just kinda background music. Not my favorite 2 stars.

First half was solid then really fell apart. Not a taylor fan but enjoyed it. 4

Spooky, heavy, amazing. 5 stars

Definitely only on here for la grange. Pretty nothing beyond that. 2 stars.

Generic soft rock. Strained vocals

Kinda unique, but not necessarily in a good way. I can see how it may have influenced other music, but don't hit very well.

I didn't have a positive image of Eminem before listening to the album. It wasn't bad though. Creative lyrics even if they were crass. Still worth a listen.

Not my thing. But not terrible.

I wish I liked Jimi, just not technical enough and not soulful enough.

Best description is campy. Lots of fun sounds and good hooks, but not really catchy. I was dreading it after reading a couple reviews and skimming the Wiki. But was pleasantly surprised. Vocals kinda reminded me of Jack Black. 4 stars.

Feels like noise for most of it. Nice noise I guess

Neil cant sing. Good songs though

Not interesting. Indie that tries for rock but doesn't do it

I just hate live albums. They are heard to hear and plain not as good. I liked some of the songs but the rest were hard to listen to.

Hard not to bang your head along with.

Rock Jazz is better than expected. Barely missed out on a 5 star

Literally unlistenable.

Ehh

Love the rage. Some spots on the album don't hit

Still tired of brit pop Listenable at least

I think nostalgia makes this album sound better than it actually is.

Seems to be meta and they know it's bad, but are able to still make it listenable

Debatably for top 100 of all time. Several hit songs all throughout

FINALLY picked up after "when I touch you" and saved the album from a 2 star. Actually pretty enjoyable for the second half

It might be historic, but that doesn't always make it good

Just covers. Can't say I'm impressed. 2 stars

For being so famous, it wasn't as soulful or memorable as I thought it would be. 3.5 stars

Liked the grittier and heavy songs like "sick things". Nice fade in/out between songs. Just barely a 4 star

I hate that I liked this album. Singer was awful, but man do I love some rock organ

Hard lyrics over chill beats. 4 stars

Not even the best "crappy garage band" sound, which is hard to pull off. 2 stars.

Unlistenable. The only mildness ok songs were ruined with random crap

Interesting take on "roots". I liked the ideas, could have been more melodic. Kept me interested the whole hour plus album.

Caught me in the right mood. Lots of catchy tunes, liked the bluesy bit.

Unique, fun, worth a listen. 3 stars

Just another way over represented UK album with no reason to be on this list.

Comples sounds with a dense almost tense vibe. 4 stars

This is awful.

Not great. Lazy liped singer. Just ok songs

Punk, pretty raw, but stereotypical.

Great ebb and flow. Good guitar tones and lots of emotion. 4 stars

Has all the important musical highlights: jazz flute, crunchy noises, clever lyrics, and catchy riffs.

Worth the listen

Uncomfortable to listen to

Came in hating Oasis for overplayed Wonderwall. Didn't hate the album. Worth the listen

Only good song is Bomba. Singer is terrible. 2 stars

Unique sound, but boring and not musically pleasing.

All of it sounds like brown eyed girl. This guy just pumped out the same song over and over

Two van albums in a row. I hope there's not another 40 on this list. At least better than the last one

Doesn't really break ground. Every song sounds oddly familiar. Took a walk and had bird song mixed in to make it better. Orchestral elements also elevated.

Slow burn. Wasn't expecting to grow to like it. Yorke was a good addition. Walker's vocals didn't always hit.

Old school. Relaxing

Classic sounds, catchy bit. Surprised I haven't even heard of them.

Having 2 60s albums in a row put this one in perspective. Just ok

Classic

Brutal, thrash, over the top

Don't understand it. But like the vibes

Don't like his voice, but didnt mind the songs

Technically advanced, just not very fun to listen to

Pretty standard pop rock. Just ok

Couldnt listen to the second album

Could be more funky. Catchy though

Hated the creepy first song and thought I would hate it all, but surprisingly won me over, and I can see why people like them

So awful. Barely escaped a 1 star because I was bored to death but my ears didn't bleed

Lots of great songs, but not all of them. I feel like I should give it a 5 out of principle, but I've had better from this list

Can't say I'm a country fan. Had the occasional good lyric

Boring.

Started out with seven nation army and I thought it was going to be a one hit only album, but I loved every song. 5 stars.

Like a barely more understandable Ramones. Not a compliment

Really bad

Enigmatic, and fun

Soft and soulful. Didn't really strike me right for get a 5, but was good

Great sampling, strong lyrics, diverse sound. If I cared more for lyrics it'd be 5 stars

It's OK. Some songs are better than others

The only good parts where when they weren't over the top trying to be obnoxious

Just not my kind of jazz

Liked every song. Even the ones i hadn't heard were unique and made Olivia wanna dance. 5 stars

Started so cheesy I couldn't handle it. Eventually started to go pretty hard. Gets 3 stars for a half good album.

Emotionally charged music with silly lyrics. Coldplay meets Owl city. Great swells and full sound. Really liked it though. Want to listen to other albums.

Kinda a vibe. Mostly background music, but was relaxing and enjoyable

Lots of great hits. Hard to get past the very 90s over produced sound. Even still, got into the songs and made Olivia dance

Solid. Good to listen to kinda background as it's sometimes a drone. Nice sounds

Started out hot, almost 5 stars from the first two songs and slowly devolved into unlistenable. Made me angry how bad it got

This is like the 5th album I've gotten on this list of an old brit warbling over a poorly produced guitar. It's not ground breaking or enjoyable.

Some parts were fun. Some were not. I guess historical context is why this is on the list

I was surprised by how much I likes this album. I had only heard a couple songs, but liked the complexity of the ones I hadn't

So boring. No musicianship

Dude can't sing. He should stick to the mouth harp that is on every. Single. Track. More of a poetry reading than music

Great grooves. 4 stars

Kind of a mess of an album, with random almost riffs with no building. Except take me to the river which I liked. Plus i don't like his voice

Weird, but not in a terrible way.

Was interesting. Maybe not always something I'd regularly listen to, but was good. I'd heard part 1, but part 2 was cooler

All sounds the same

Too repetitive for me. Could have branched out a little. 2 stars

Wanted to give it higher, but didn't quite earn a 4. Adam raised a cane goes pretty hard

I guess I just don't like punk. That sax really made me wanna stop listening

Pretty solid. Good hits

Haunting and powerful. Simple vamps with dissonance. Didn't love the instrumental, but was a great listen throughout

Pretty good. I'd listen to more. I don't think it breaks any ground or anything though

Don't really understand why these guys got so famous. Even their hit is annoying

I was not expecting this amount of funk and jazz. Listened to it twice it was so good

Hate this so much

Terrible vocals with stylistic choices that ruin decent songs

Not always enjoyable to listen to. And not as groundbreaking as other radiohead

Fun to listen to. Not life changing but good lyrics with a rowdy crowd

Very silly. But not unlistenable.

Really really strong songs I'm here and always something to be interested in. Only thing keeping it from 5 is how awful Kanye is now

Straight 80s pop. Nothing very noteworthy. Campy

Guitar and rambling. Not worth my time to listen to

Boring pop

Finally an older rock album where the music has stood the rest of time. Still very listenable, cool it was a concept album

Snooze fest

Elevator electronic. It was ok to listen to in the background. Not really sure how it ended up in yhe top 1001

Solid jazz album. Not a tip 1001 album.

Do I like radiohead?

Songs sounded great but never really went anywhere and went on too long

Way better than I imagined it would be. Musically talented and interesting blend of great bluegrass. 2 hours is too long though

Funk and jazz. Even had great instrumental

Annoying vocals, just not good

Only 2 solid songs. The rest were filler

Ehh

Solid but missing some musical talent

Felt like I was in a chill coffee shop

Boring man in a basement music.

Another great from radiohead

Boring. Honestly annoying

So tired of this very tame terrible brit punk/pop

Just couldn't get into it

Reminds me a lot of 'Yes'. Great album, would have been a 5 if it didn't have that terrible free form guitar song

Worst Bowie yet

Slow for rock. Almost 4

An enjoyable listen but sounded all similar to me

Not super interesting. Last two were the only stand out

Less funky than other quest and not as pumped up at jurassic 5

Hyper overproduction. It was just sounds they liked looped over whisper singing. Campy 80s

Unlistenable

No idea who this was before starting the album. I was blown away by the full sound and emotion.

Great songs

Underwhelming. Too much looping of mediocre tracks

I just can't stand his voice vibrato

Solid throughout

Not my jam. Not terrible though

Not anywhere near as good as rumors

Liked it more than I want to admit

Not my favorite album buy enjoyable

A fun listen

Liked the guitar tones and noises. Hated the singer. Olivia liked it
