1001 Albums Summary

Funky psychedelic stuff 👍

Fast-paced metal. Pretty good

Interesting Daft Punk vibes, but less fun. More robotic

Never clicked with this, but it could be really great

I guess I finally get Metallica. Pretty solid album.

Crazy how good Eminem’s raps are on this. A little inconsistent as far as quality goes and sometimes comes across as “edgy”. Still, some 5-star songs on here

Love this album. Exemplifies everything I love about indie rock of this time

Classic 90s album. All the hits

A lot to take in on one listen. Recognized a couple songs, but I feel I’ll need to come back to this.

Issa vibe. Not something I would normally choose to listen to, as I never got into shoegaze-y music, but it’s pretty vibey.

Perfect album. David Bowie is a treasure

Feels like a compilation rather than a complete album. Still got several of the hits

Listened to this once and it’s very well produced and everything, but I feel like Elvis Costello just isn’t totally my thing

Made me want to revisit other albums of this time period. Full of nostalgia and I was surprised how many songs I knew. Still, the lyrics are pretty corny and the vocal style is distracting and doesn’t hold up.

Interesting crossover of Modest Mouse and moe.

Very ‘80s sounding. Doesn’t do much for me

Love the Doors

Fleetwood Mac is great! Not as great as Rumors, but still great

Love some Iggy!

Okay. Probably would’ve really be into this ten years ago

Just not my thing. IDK

Good album, but I don’t enjoy the Flaming Lips as much as I used to

I can dig it.

Soulful and psychedelic. I like it

Really good delta blues/punk fusion. Can definitely hear the influence on the White Stripes.

Interesting. Didn’t like it at first, but could be something that grows on me

Adele is one of the greatest singers of this generation. Still, the music isn’t necessarily my jam and nothing about this album blows me away.

Probably my hottest take, but I can’t stand to listen to AC/DC. I was hoping listening to the entire album would change my mind, but it didn’t. It made me appreciate the hits a little more, but everything else exemplifies the things I hate about hair metal/stadium rock. VERY subjective opinion, but this band has band forced into my ears since I was born. I’m sure others have a similar opinion of the Grateful Dead, but for me, AC/DC is that band I have no love for. 🤷

Sounds good, but I can’t help but feel like they’re trying too much to sound like Bowie

Some of the most beautiful music I don’t understand.

Classic gangsta-rap album. Ice Cube was clearly the best rapper of NWA. I like the beats on this too

People say this is the first heavy metal album, but it doesn’t sound like heavy metal to me. Decent blues rock sound, kinda like the White Stripes. It may have been innovative for the time, but just okay today

Classic folk-rock album of the hippie generation. Not everything aged great

Not my favorite from the Police, but a lot of good stuff that really highlights their reggae influences

A few stinkers mixed in with a bunch of bangers. Sometimes, “The Police” sound dated to me, but they’re undeniably great

Solid album from The Cure. Loved their new album and this one is almost as good. Looking forward to their later albums

Moody alt shit. Somewhere between Velvet Underground and The National. I dig it, even if it didn’t blow me away

What’s not to love? Not as experimental as Bitches Brew, but a nice integration of electronic instruments with classic Miles jazz

Pretty great. Had this album for years and never really gave it that much of a chance.

Pretty solid and I could see it being a big deal when it came out in ‘65

Pretty great. I could see myself being really into this if I was around at the time it came out. Still, it sounds distinctly very 90s pop

The Stones are the best. So great songs on this one

Elton John is a legend. This is a legendary album. So many great songs. Not a dull moment in such a long album
