1001 Albums Summary

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

Interesting guitar for the time but gets to be endless noodling. About half of the album is strong, other half is ok.

One Nation Under A Groove by Funkadelic

Not available for streaming

Grace by Jeff Buckley

Slow, sappy, generally boring. Don’t hate it but wouldn’t bother with another listen.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Sounds a lot like Springstein. OK but not outstanding.

Moving Pictures by Rush

YYZ

Biggest album of my freshman year.

Just average

The album that made the Beastie Boys what they are. Totally changed their sound from the first album. Egg man is a favorite.

So generic for both genres

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey

Treasure by Cocteau Twins

I really thought I was going to like this one. Couldn’t understand a damn thing the chick was singing. I think I’m going to keep hanging out with the Thompson Twins instead.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants

Really thought I would love this because I remembered a few songs from the 80’s that I liked. Unfortunately they weren’t on here and nothing really stood out.

Third by Soft Machine

Was expecting more punk

Music by Madonna

Real Life by Magazine

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit

Live At The Witch Trials by The Fall

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds

Honky Tonk Masquerade by Joe Ely

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

Follow The Leader by Korn

Even worse than I thought it would be

Group Sex by Circle Jerks

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit

It’s just too disjointed and all over the place for me. Wish I was cool enough to like it.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington

I wish it didn’t have all of the banter but it lets you feel like what it was to be there.

Justified by Justin Timberlake

Didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would. Actually some decent stuff on here

2112 by Rush

Guitar Town by Steve Earle

Awesome album to listen to stoned. Lot of Ska vibes

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

Dear Science by TV On The Radio

Definitely thought this had a cool sound. Definitely need to give it a few more listens.

Decent for getting high and letting it play in the background. That’s about it.

Low by David Bowie

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo

In It For The Money by Supergrass

Bummed by Happy Mondays

Pink Flag by Wire

Punk as fuck. Really loved this one

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

New York Dolls by New York Dolls

Reign In Blood by Slayer

I’m glad I finally listened to a full Slayer album. Grew up in the 80’s and was well aware of them but they always seemed too heavy for my taste even though I loved Iron Maiden. I think it is the lack of any melody that keeps me from being a fan. The music is aggressive and I can dig that but it just doesn’t have anything else that appeals to me. When I got the album I really wanted to become a fan this morning but 53 year old me just isn’t in the same place that 15 year old me was. Solid 3 stars even though I wanted to give it more.

Django Django by Django Django

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream

Elephant by The White Stripes

I ended up listening to this four times. The mellower middle part of the album was my favorite. Difficult choice between four and five stars.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

Experimental Crap

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

Really solid album. Had heard a couple of songs but ended up enjoying the entire album.

I thought these guys would be way harder. Turned out to be some kind of weird punk that I mostly enjoyed.

Kimono My House by Sparks

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle by Throbbing Gristle

Weird as fuck and a very loose definition of music. I would have probably enjoyed it more if I was high as fuck but this one gets two stars just for being unique

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans

Medúlla by Björk

I just have never been able to get this chicks music

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson

Scum by Napalm Death

Grrrrhhhh. Deeeggggg hhhdddd fffrreee. Pretty much the only lyrics I could understand. Also way to fucking heavy for me

The Rise & Fall by Madness

Our House is good but the bike and car song sounded like the same song

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music by Ray Charles

On The Beach by Neil Young

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

Chill music for the background or to be totally locked in.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

The Predator by Ice Cube

Love It Was. Good Day but all of the media clips spliced into every damn song gets old in a hurry. I’m glad he included the song that warned me about getting robbed by a big bottomed ho. I’m at high risk of that.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention

I really enjoyed the hippie hate.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Next by The Entirely Adequate Alex Harvey Band was somewhat ok

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

I really thought this would be better because of all the hype.

At least the songs were really short

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley

Kind of sounds like everything else from the late 60’s

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators

Kind of fun early punk

The Lexicon Of Love by ABC

Start to finish one of the best new wave albums. Love the music and how he puts his emotions on display through his voice.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar

Badass Jumpin Jack Flash cover gives this one 4 stars

Ambient 1/Music For Airports by Brian Eno

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry by Billy Bragg

Enjoyed the heavy layered sound. Kind of makes me think of the Beach Boys and Beatles got access to electronic instruments. Probably not a heavy rotation album but would be good to have some shrooms and chill.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17

Pretty good new wave album

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

This Nation’s Saving Grace by The Fall

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live) by Motörhead

Enjoyed but not my favorite rock

The Poet by Bobby Womack

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti

It was pleasant enough playing in the background and I’m kind of partial to 80’s pop. It gets a weak 4.

Sulk by The Associates

Cross by Justice

Lot of variation for electronic album. Never heard of these guys but really enjoyed it.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow

Viva Hate by Morrissey

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned

This punk album is fire

Soul Mining by The The

Diamond Life by Sade

Not really my type of music but damn she can sing and her band is pretty damn good as well. I wanted to hate this since the 80’s but after listening to the whole album I just can’t be a hater any longer.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp

Untitled (Black Is) by SAULT

Virgin Suicides by Air

Great background musoc

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Decent enough

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

Sounds like they just stole Bruce Springsteins music

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

Generally don’t care about salsa but this one wasn’t too bad.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl

Good album to go to sleep to.

Permission to Land by The Darkness

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett

One World by John Martyn

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

Love Talking Heads but this may be my least favorite album

Music For The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy

Not something I would listen to every day and it is probably a lot better rolling on X. Was good for a workout album though.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish

The most shit hippie music on the list so far.

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

Didnt understand a word but still enjoyed the album

Kenya by Machito

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

This kind of rocked

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey

Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC

Was much more into this album than I thought I would be

Dare! by The Human League

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention

Modern Life Is Rubbish by Blur

Roxy Music by Roxy Music

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band

Ok, I have to admit I was pretty high and had two scotches when I listened to this album. At first I was going to give it a 3 rating. But once I got right, damn, the album got somewhat good. Got to give them 4 stars.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan

Talking before every damn song. Not a fan

Aja by Steely Dan

#1 Record by Big Star

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

Didn’t care for this jazz album quite as much as the others on the list.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters

Remedy by Basement Jaxx

Uhhh, should have been kept in the basement Jacks

Different Class by Pulp

I guess I’m into Brit Pop. Listened to the album two times through and just thoroughly enjoyed it

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys

At first I thought this was country, then rock, then folk. I finally came to the realization that it was some Irish and Scottish dudes who can play. Loved it.

The Man Who by Travis

Eternally Yours by The Saints

Holy shit! A punk band that can play and has some horns. One of the best punk albums I’ve gotten.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

It was ok in the background

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

Never heard of this guy and was completely amazed by this album. Maybe my favorite discovery here in 800 albums. Buying this on vinyl.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

This is a hard one. At the start I was thinking two stars and it sucked. Then it got better and was in four star range. I considered averaging to three but what the hell, it’s getting four.

Country Life by Roxy Music

In Utero by Nirvana

The Who Sell Out by The Who

Hmm, maybe my least favorite Who album I’ve heard but still liked it.

GI by Germs

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney

Sounds like my high school rock band. We weren’t that good

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen

The La's by The La's

Graceland by Paul Simon

One of my top five all time albums. Love the sound. Not a bad song on here.

Sincere by Mj Cole

The song Sanctuary on the album is currently asking if I feel the vibes. No, I do not feel the vibes. This album is absolute crap. I don’t tap out of an album often but fuck this shit.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

Didn't understand any of the lyrics but the music was really good.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

Before And After Science by Brian Eno

Chill but nothing that totally got me going

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

The Renaissance by Q-Tip

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul by Otis Redding

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police

Great memories of the 80’s

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys

Really enjoyed this one.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow

Truth by Jeff Beck

Truthfully pretty shitty. It’s the same lyrics over and over and it sounds like Rod Stewart singing. The guitar is the only instrument to get a solo. The piano player tries once but doesn’t get very far. I’m so tired of late 60’s white British white guy blues.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall

Kind of boring EDM

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents

Very few albums rise to the level of truly deserving one star.

Another Green World by Brian Eno

Way unimpressed. All I can remember is he is running to tie someone’s shoe and just repeats this line until the world ends

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey

He sure is whiny

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

GREY Area by Little Simz

Sounds like all the other British rappers

Heavy Weather by Weather Report

I didn’t realize elevator musak was a genre covered in the book. I really like jazz but this was crap

Boston by Boston

Every song is awesome.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti

Got high to finish Nabokov’s Lolita and put this album on. After I finished the book I realized this album was pretty kick ass. It’s albums like this that make me so happy I’m taking the 1001 albums journey. 5/5. Getting this on vinyl

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys

Nothing interesting here

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto

Ok background music

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

All of that talent and still sucked that hard. Quite impressive

If I Could Only Remember My Name by David Crosby

A song without lyrics is an instrumental asshole

Millions Now Living Will Never Die by Tortoise

Just kind of boring background sounds

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

Pretty tame by today’s standards but I still enjoy old school

Joan Baez by Joan Baez

When my mom was listening to this in the early 60’s my grandfather used to call Joan the screaming bitch. I never actually listened to a Joan Baez album until now. Not my style but she can certainly sing.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green

This guy is smooth

All Mod Cons by The Jam

This album rocked. Never heard of them before but will definitely listen to their other albums.

Zombie by Fela Kuti

This shit jams

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age

First listen I was unimpressed but I let it loop while reading and it grew on me. Going to give it 4 stars

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

This would be cool background music, also probably pretty good on acid. Just for listening to while driving though it just didn’t do it for me.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Not among my favorite Stones albums.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas

Truth And Soul by Fishbone

Heard of these guys but had not had the chance to listen. They sound like they probably started third wave ska, of which I’m a huge fan

The Visitors by ABBA

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

This was so dark and so fucking cool. I had his other album a couple of weeks ago and wasn’t all that impressed. This is the reason I started 1001 albums. Getting ready to order the white version on vinyl I liked this so much.

More Specials by The Specials

Low-Life by New Order

Can never hate on new wave

Black Metal by Venom

Definitely more into Iron Maiden but this was ok.

NEU! 75 by Neu!

I thought this was some kind of early electronic album that was just really boring.

Take Me Apart by Kelela

She can sing but sounds way over produced. Just could not get into it.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves

She has an awesome voice

Who's Next by The Who

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry

Tried but just couldn’t get into it

The Real Thing by Faith No More

Leftism by Leftfield

I guess if I was doing X in London in the mid 90’s this would have been awesome. In the garage working in’s the truck, not so much.

A Grand Don't Come For Free by The Streets

Worst british rapping ever.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned by Liars

Not my taste but I’m giving it +1 for the awesome album name

evermore by Taylor Swift

Hms Fable by Shack

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja

I thought this was one of the Wu Tang guys

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols

Love that these guys have a unique sound.

McCartney by Paul McCartney

I would almost rather listen to Yoko

Pornography by The Cure

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye

Smile by Brian Wilson

Didn’t live up to the hype

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock

I really think this one was put on here to troll everyone. Kid’s lyrics are crap and his “flow” is the same on everything. Normally I would rate this a solid 2, however I have so many great memories from this period of my life that I associate with a couple of the songs on this album that I’m going to have to have some grace and award Kid 3 stars.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell

This just kind of flowed in the background. I think every song was about fucking but the album kind of roofied me.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits

Somewhat listenable
