Hey Joe Bonamassa. This album has a message for you. Piss off, you silly white boy.

My fave of the big lineup. Lindsey's album tracks are great. Sister Moon is the best Nicks tune IMO. Christine has some good ones as well. There are a few clunkers for sure. It's not the White Album or Exile but all four sides are worth listening

Lucked into a sweet Hi records original vinyl of this one. Let's Say Together (overplayed) and Broken Heart (weepy Bee Gees) are the only ones I can't get behind a 100%. The album tracks are fantastic.

His voice is amazing and I love all 60's soul. But I can't get behind these tunes

I'm not versed in a lot of hip hop but have been trying to familiarize myself with the classics. Cool production from a pre-not see Kanye but the words are meh.

Not really my thing but I was 16 when this record came out and remember how huge it was. It holds up well.

Prime Frank without the baggage of the greatest hits I am so used to hearing brings out the vibe of this record.

More straight up hooks than the previous album but I miss some of the My Bloody Valentine screech

My Favorite Velvets Album at this point. So good.

Hero and Light are great but there's not quite enough happening here to grab me full on.

Early 70's Motown funk and soul. Not Stevie but solid.

Some great songs. He had it going on for a while but no one needs a two hour album from anyone. The Wall is 80 minutes long. This one is 40 minutes longer. That's gonna cost you a star Billy Boy

Good stuff and then Angie comes at the end and your head explodes.

Not a jazz guy but this was really fun. She's relaxed and obviously having a great time. Good stuff

21st century and the title cut are certainly Prague Ground Zero. I forgot how much flute and jam things were going on in the rest of the record. Some of that held up some of it not so much definitely on the list.

Not a dud on this one. Even Home Tonight is a solid ballad with some balls. Obviously. Last Child proves that Walk this Way wasn't a fluke. Solid funk once again. Sick as a Dog is the great Aerosmith sleeper track. Just perfect.

Two chords songs are easy to write. Good two chord songs are incredibly hard to write. PJ is proof

Cool album. Out of my dumb old rock guy wheelhouse, but I liked it quite a bit. Good for a late night drive.

So much anticipation for this record in 1987 and I think they nailed it. Almost 30 years later, it's a really good rock album, held back by some of Bono's overwrought everything. Bullet the Blue Sky is kind of terrible. I understand why Streets and With or Without You were HUGE. When Bono sings about losing a friend or the heroin addiction in his hometown, it's not over the top. Running to Stand Still and One Tree are perfect songs. God's Country is the sleeper.

Wow. She pulled off 68 minutes and it never missed a note IMO. This is absolutely one that needs to be heard.

I think I'm partial to Head in the Door forward. Not enough melody

Didn't hit hard today but I've heard it before and it was really great.

Solid Bowie for sure and a great late career surprise but no reason anyone needs to hear this after they’ve got the classics in the list. Docking one star for that

Great album! Deserves to be on the list twice.

Powerful but gets awfully monotonous after three songs or so. Glad it was included

Appreciate the importance of the message for young WOC, but I'm an old white dude. Not meant for me. I didn't need to hear it and I don't really like this type of R&B.

Too bad Morrisey was such a tosser. Great band, great album but not as good as Queen is Dead.

Hey Joe Bonamassa. This album has a message for you. Piss off, you silly white boy.

Some boring Bowie on this along with the obvious classic title track. V2-Schneider is great and the rest of the Eno stuff is cool as dark foreboding ambient goes. Doesn't need to be on the list

Some great standouts and consistent otherwise. No real misogyny as I don't consider "my music is more important than chicks" to be that bad, at least for young twenty somethings. Sick synth at the end of Who's Gonna Take the Weight. As I Read my S-A a great late album standout

Great singer. Never heard proto-South African music before. You can hear the beginning of the super melodic guitar lines to come. One More Dance laughing guy is as annoying as everyone says.

John is a beast on this one. His best large block of work until the White Album.

Never actually sat down and listened to Cohen despite reading about him for years. Praise warranted. This will be a great record for a long drive on a rainy day.

I can see driving around in the 2010s as an indie kid/young adult, listening to this on repeat thinking that it's totally about me. It doesn't sound like The Who, but it has that sort of Quadrophenia "no one gets me" romanticism. I would say it's too long but I guess it's a double album. Good stuff. Not great stuff. I wish there was a 3.5

Good setup. Nice sound bed, voice fits the music. But no big hooks. This kind of music needs BIG hooks. Example: Passion Pit - Take a Walk. No Take a Walks on this one as far as I made it.

I can't listen to this now as I don't do post Syd Pink Floyd when the sun is shining as it seems pointless. However, being a 59 yo American white guy who is a rock dork from the age of twelve, I've heard this record hundreds of times. It's perfect. Just the best. That's it.

Robyn Hitchcock fan since the A&M push with Balloon Man back in 1987. Finally saw him with the Egyptians in Columbus on half a hit of quality blotter and it was glorious. I didn't to hear Underwater Moonlight until the late 90's as you had to buy your records back then. It's catchy and weird and rocks. And with Kimberly Rew and Robyn on guitar it sits right behind Marquee Moon as the greatest punk/new wave guitar record. The weird, clunky songs (Old Pervert, I Got the Hots) server as great palate cleansers for the insane hooks of all the other tunes. Five Stars all the frickin way on this one. If you get a chance to see Hitchcock live, do it. LSD not necessary, he's a trip no matter what.

To steal a line from another Steely Dan album, "perfection and grace". If you don't get this, try again.

Pleasant. Not a revelation but well done. I won't be on my deathbed thinking "My life is complete because I listened to Startdust".

Throw all restraint out the window and make the biggest, slickest, hookiest record that technology can manage. Then pull it off. Really fun record.

Exposure to something new! C'est la Nuit and El Bab went right onto the 1001 Keepers playlist. Some songs just went buy without grabbing much interest. This is a three for me, but really glad I heard it.

This band was soooo great. This is one of the weird ones, along with Remain in Light. You can't go wrong with Fear of Music.

I bought this in my initial Who obsession back in 78 as an eighth grader at Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High in Springfield VA a couple years before Grohl went there. Other than Kids, and My Generation, I skipped most of it. I didn't listen to it much. Tommy and what came after got most of my attention. Now in 2025 in the last year of my 50's, it's a way different listen. La-La-La-Lies is great. Goods Gone and Much too Bad are close behind. It doesn't sound like any other Who. It's gooey and thick. One mass of energy rather then Pete, Keith and John occupying their own space. Roger hasn't found his anthemic, bare-chested, tassel vest place yet, but that's a good thing here. I have a feeling, that when need some Who going forward, I'm going to be listening to this one.

How did such a serious ass make a string of just flawless records? Another perfect one that deserves to be on the list.

Interesting for exploration but not critical

Didn't need to be on the list, but I guess I get it since a Limey wrote the book. A fine example of smoothed out Brit Pop I guess?

Great musicians good tunes.

I need to wait for an evening with an S.O. to listen to this all the way through. It honestly feels ridiculous listening on my own or while working. But that means it nails what it's trying to do.

Y.A., Fame, Win and Fascination are great to good. No reason at all for this record to be here. And that's coming from a Bowie fan

Queen's best album hands down. All their records are stylistically all over the place. This is the only record where they nail everything. Extra point for inventing thrash metal with Stone Cold Crazy.

A big step towards the brilliance of Something Else, Village Green, Lola vs, Arthur and I'm going to throw in Muswell Hill. Not perfect, but still pretty great.

God I hate David Crosby. Back Pages and So You Wanna Be a RnR star are songs everyone needs to hear. Have You Seen Her Face is great. CTA is weird, drippy hippy euphoria and catchy. Girl with No Name is solid. So is Why. The Crosby lead songs are abysmal. Fuck you Dave. 3 stars

This project has been my Willie Nelson intro. I got Stardust first. It was ok. This is art. If there was a music Louvre, this would be prominently displayed.

Obviously, you have a big songs on this one but there are some tunes that don’t really hold up that takes a star. My sleepers on this our planet caravan which the Jefferson airplane wish they could’ve written and fairies wear boots which isn’t really a sleeper. I’ll take the next three albums over this one, but it’s Black Sabbath so it’s still great. Four stars.

I graduated from high school in 1984. Van Halen was the biggest band in the world. Saw the tour bought the T-shirt everything. I haven’t listened this album. Top to bottom in many decades. It’s amazing and proves how much Roth and Van Halen needed each other.. semi sucks

Great band interesting to hear belongs on the list. I put a couple songs on my playlist, but saying good not great so three stars.

The impossible follow up. Certainly well-made smooth criminals a great song. Probably belongs on the list, but thriller may have been sufficient although if you’re gonna put nine Bowie albums on here an extra Michael or two doesn’t hurt. As far as Dirty Diana. No. Just No.

Straightforward but then the pets join in and you remember this is the guy who found Damo Suzuki on the street and instantly asked him to sing for Can. Not weird then weird. Belongs on the list. Probably won't listen to it again though.
