1001 Albums Summary

Meh. Never really enjoyed Pearl Jam. Don't think I would listen to this again.

was okay. a couple good songs but wasn't impressed overall.

not really my jam. a couple nice songs on there.

classic.

4.5/5 - deducted half a start for yellow submarine. every other song is flawless though. One of my favorite Beatles albums.

not my jam. felt like a really long album.

boring and dragged on

really enjoyed this one. a lot of the songs were hits.

i really enjoyed this one. will definitely give it some more listens in the future. wish i had known about it when it was released.

terrible so far. don't know if i'm going to finish this one. Did not like

was okay. think i can only listen to this if i'm getting down and dirty.

solid blues album.

Not really into the long jam band type of music. Found this one to be boring.

overall a solid album

did not enjoy this one. Too "out there" for me.

i guess i don't like abba

a couple great songs on there. overall kind of bland.

2 songs in. i don't get the hype of this band. pretty bad.

interesting start...did not like this. a couple songs in the middle were okay, but overall it was boring. got to the last song and i had to stop. did not finish.

Nothing special. All the tracks were very similar. Felt like it dragged on a bit.

First time listening to a full album from Machine Head. I liked this one a lot. Solid album. Will listen to it again.

decent album. definitely not one of their bests though.

overall boring album. 1st song was decent though.

couldn't even finish this.

eh.

first time listening to this one. solid album but by far it is not the best foo fighters album

overall not a great album. couple nice songs on there.

nah. not my style.

Surprisingly an okay album. Liked it more than I thought I would

eh

average

Springsteen is not good.

not really my type of music.

not really a fan of Springsteen, but this album has a couple of the songs I do like from him.

overall a pretty boring album. couple good songs on there.

more of a greatest hits fan

did not finish.

whole album wasn't available to stream on Spotify.

not really fan of any live albums

his voice is just classic. solid album.

not as bad as some of the comments make it out to seem, but it is certainty not something I'd listen to again. I would say that I would have enjoyed it in my teenage years, but I knew of Slipknot back then and found the whole mask thing lame.

Gave an extra star for the song "maps". overall the album was a pretty difficult to listen to.

can't go wrong with the classics

was ok as background music. nothing really grabbed my attention

yeah, not great.

This was a tough one to get through. Skipped a lot of songs. I really did not enjoy this.

indifferent towards this.

love this album

was hoping to be surprised by song that i hadn't heard on here before, but found the album to be mediocre overall.

was not impressed. felt liked it drag on.

I enjoyed this one, but definitely like Pink Moon a lot more.

There are better Bowie records

nothing really stood out on this one.

terrible. could not finish.

not too bad. Not really my type of jam.

terrible. could not finish.

really did not like.

not really my jam

was ok

I mean if you like gunfighter ballads, then I guess this is the album for you. I don't think I would include it on a list of albums you have to listen to before you die.

didn't hate it.

was ok. nothing stood out.

nothing really stood out

ehh

overall not great. maybe 1 or 2 songs were okay.

not too bad.

nothing really stood out. wasn't terrible.

didn't really enjoy this one. last song was particularly bad.

solid album.

nothing really stood out for me here.

felt like there wasn't a cohesive sound on this album. a couple songs stood out.

a couple good gems on here. a little boring overall.

Didn't realize she was the singer to a couple songs I already knew. Not too bad of an album.

I had never listened to this album despite seeing the album cover a bunch of times and being intrigued. This was definitely up my alley. Will keep this in my regular rotation.

One of my favorite Beatles albums

this was bad.

After the first song, this album got terrible pretty fast.

First Stevie Wonder album I've listened to. Enjoyed it.

I suppose I just don't like Springsteen. Had to turn it off.

Easy 5 stars. Very fitting that this was the album for the solar eclipse today.

terrible. could not finish.

Tried to give it an honest listen. This has been a tough one to get through.

Was better than I thought it was going to be. Enjoyed this as background music while I worked. Don't know if I would go out of my way to listen to it again, but I did like it.

Solid album. I can see why people enjoy it.

enjoyed it.

pretty bad. American Pie was the only good song. 2/5

I went in biased not really liking U2, but this album wasn't bad.

did not enjoy

not really my thing

was okay

nothing specail

was okay. the last song dragged on a bit, but had a nice melody

really did not enjoy 1/5

okay

Nothing really stood out for me. Didn't mind it in the background.

nothing stood out. i honestly don't remember a single song from here.

Two songs in. Don't think I like Rod Stewart. 1/5

solid album. Some songs don't stick out like the others, but overall I enjoyed it.

a couple songs that I really enjoyed on here--Immigrant Song & Since I've Been Loving You--the others didn't stand out as much. They were just your typical Zep sound.

I don't think any song really stood out to me. Don't think this was the album for me. At least it was short. Gave it another listen since it's a quick listen. Homeward Bound is pretty good.

not really my jam.

Not terrible, but I think it is a bit forgettable.

nah didn't like this one.

first time listening to one of her albums in full. This one has a lot of songs I recognize. Not bad overall. Just not super into pop songs.

Very happy to see this album on here. I love Sigur Ros and this album especially. You do need to be in a certain mood to listen to them though. Glad it was gloomy today.

tough one here. a couple songs i liked and couple that i had to skip. overall this is a 1 or 2 for me. liked Mask. Skipped the last 2.

Felt like the album didn't have a cohesive sound. Overall, nothing grabbed my attention. The musicianship is pretty good, but not into this style of music. Surprised this would be on the list of best albums. There aren't even a lot of listens on Spotify.

First time listening to an Alice Cooper album. I really only knew of him from Wayne's World haha and he's awesome in that. I was pleasantly surprised here. I enjoyed the album overall. Going to give it another listen before I rate.

The theme song for Superfly was pretty good. everything else wasn't bad, but just not really my style.

Album was a bit too long. A lot of solid songs.

funky. so far not really digging it. Didn't hate it, but I don't think I'd put it on again.

Obviously recognized a couple songs. Overall not terrible, but seemed a bit dated.

Another ABBA album, another 1 star.

banger after banger.

not really my jam

I can see why people like him, but definitely not my jam.

not really my type of music.

first song sucks ass. second song sucks too. the trend is continuing. i could not finish this album. Even their popular song Paper Planes could not save this.

One of my favorite albums. Pretty stoked and a little surprised to see it on this list. Will gladly give this a listen today.

a couple okay songs. overall it was a boring album.

My boss was talking about how much he hated Aerosmith the other day and I thought he was going too far. After listening to this album, I don't think he went far enough. I guess I really don't like Aerosmith either. The last song was decent though. Get's a bonus star for that.

interesting, but not really my taste.

Don't mind that they are recommending international albums, but this one was not for me.

solid blues album.

as far as pop music goes, this one wasn't too bad. Hard to listen to it all at once since she's always belting out the lyrics.

was okay. not my jam.

okay this album is over 3 hours long. I obviously did not listen to all of this. I only played the songs that had over 1 million listens. With that said, those songs were solid. Ella does this style very well. Definitely would need to be in a certain mood to give this a listen.

Not really into house/dance music. It is so repetitive. I get their influence on the genre. Just not for me.

I always forget how many good songs are on this album.

felt like i should have liked this one. maybe i'll revisit it some day.

I don't think any live album should really be on this list, and this one is no exception.

so far it's better than the last Steely Dan album on this list. liking this one a lot. added a ton to my playlist. recognized a decent amount of the songs.

it was okay. probably wouldn't listen to it again.

I had never actually listened to this on in its entirety even though i knew most of the songs. Gonna give this one a 4, but it's probably more like a 4.5

Really did not enjoy this one. Could not finish.

It was okay. Don't know if I'd listen to it again.

tough one to get through. had to skip a track already. probably gonna end up being a 1/5

solid album

eh. nothing really stood out on this one for me.

Not bad but not really my style

overall I didn't really enjoy the album. Couple good songs on here though.

Not my jam

pleasantly surprised here. really enjoyed this one.

I was really hoping that I would enjoy this one. Was a band I hadn't heard before signed to a label that I like. Seemed like the perfect recipe for me to find a hidden gem. Pretty disappointed overall. Nothing really stood out for me here.

wasn't very memorable

just really not my type of music.

eh. nothing special here. never really was a fan of The Strokes.

This album kicks ass.

ehhh

such a beautiful album. Truly Sufjan's best work.

Aside from the 2 popular songs, the album didn't really hit.

My 4th Springsteen album on this list. How many are there going to be? Still not a fan

Solid early punk album.

wasn't terrible but just not my style.

Didn't find too many bangers on this album. Didn't mind listening to it, but hoping to find some better albums from them on this list.

Was a little disappointed to find out these were all just covers. Didn't hear anything that I really liked here.

Can't believe I never heard this before. Will need to give it another listen. Pretty solid overall.

started out okay then it just got weird.

was okay

all the songs kinda sound the same.

was okay

Average 80's music. Didn't find anything special here.

Not bad. Don't know if I'd listen to it again unless I was seeking out oldies.

Wish I could have been there.

pretty solid album. Was a nice break from the rock albums that are suggested here.

was alright. Don't think I'd listen to it again.

not really into it. Seemed unpolished in a bad way.

Was great background music while I worked.

a couple gems on here. overall it was ok. added a couple songs to my playlist.

definitely liked the first half way more than the second. The songs were more straightforward.

Didn't realize they sang Lovefool. Overall the album wasn't too bad. A few songs stood out.

solid album

eh wasn't too impressed. don't know if i'd listen to it again.

was alright.

wow. just really not for me.

Solid album. A little dated, but I enjoyed it.

Would like to listen to this one again. A few great songs on this that I had never heard before.

Other than Take Me Out, I didn't really enjoy any other song.

Pretty disappointing album. Was stoked to listen to this due to Where Is My Mind being on it, but was let down.

eh this one isn't for me.

really did not like this one. DNF.

only 1 song was bearable (Star). Was a tough listen overall.

it was not too bad.

not my jam

Already familiar with this album. Funny thing is I hated it when it came out and I thought Radiohead was overrated. Years later I revisited the album and loved it. Funny how music taste changes over time.

overall pretty solid with some classics on there. I think some of the later albums are obviously way better.

did not enjoy. DNF

wow. had never heard this one before. Thoroughly impressed. Pet Sounds is still the better album, but I was surprised by this album.

First time listening to this album. I was familiar with a few of the songs already. Pretty solid album

eh. kinda dragged on.

Kinda forgettable. 2/5

I've got a soft spot for hip hop like this. Had never actually listened to this album. Pleasantly surprised. 4/5

DNF. Don't know why this album was included on this list. 1/5

easy 4. was familiar with this album already.

Not really my style, but was a decent listen. I really liked that first track.

was ok. didn't finish the last song. album was too slow for me today.

I enjoyed the album, but I feel like each song went on just a little too long.

Was actually my first time listening to this in full.

Some good songs on here. Pretty solid album.

I gave this an honest listen since my wife is a big fan of Mariah. Her voice is great, but the music is not for me. Sorry wifey. 2/5.

First time listening to them. Pleasantly surprised by this album. Found out about them first when Death Cab sang about the JAMC in one of their songs and I looked them up. This is right up my alley and what I was hoping for when I started going through this list. 5/5

Was already familiar with this album. One of my favorite jazz albums. And was the perfect choice for this gloomy summer day in SF. 5/5

Glad I was never into Kanye before he went nuts. Don't have to deal with trying to separate the artist from their shitty opinions. Always disliked him for his big ego. Tried going into this album with an open mind, but still didn't really enjoy it. DNF. 1/5

I've got a soft spot for oldies. I have to knock this one down a peg since it was a live album and I feel like live albums shouldn't be included on a top albums list. However, this was a great album. A lot of energy from Sam and the crowd. Wish I could have been there. 3/5.

Not too shabby. 3/5

Some really strong songs here. I had never heard of this band before and when I saw the cover, I was expecting a bluegrass band haha. Pleasantly surprised here. 4/5

Too 80's for me. DNF. 1/5

Not really my jam. Wasn't terrible though. 2/5

Pleasantly surprised. Can't believe so many of her hits were on this one album. 3/5

was a'ight. 2/5

First thing I noticed was that it took place on my wife's birthday which is cool. Very relaxing sounds right off the bat. Absolutely gorgeous so far. I'm truly impressed. Surprised I had never come across this before. Way too early score: 5/5. Let's see if it holds up. Absolutely enjoyed this one a lot. Guess good things happen on Jan 24 5/5

eh not a fan. Didn't really enjoy this one. 2/5

just think I don't really like outkast. a lot of songs on this album. the singles were okay, but I had to skip a lot of the other ones.

3/5

nah. why does it have to be so long. DNF. 1/5

Nothing really stood out here for me. Didn't love it nor hate it. Felt like every song sounded exactly the same. 2/5

I liked this album when I was in middle school. Didn't really hit the same listening to it today. 2/5

love this album. Easy 5/5.

I don't know. I don't think I'd listen to this again. Quite dated. 1/5

Eh didn't really enjoy it. 2/5

Eh. I don't think I'd revisit this one. 2/5

too long

Love this album. Has a lot of my favorite songs on it. However, this album could have been trimmed down a bit. 4/5

Nothing that really caught my attention here. 2/5

did not enjoy. DNF. 1/5

Just doesn't do it for me. 2/5

Solid album. 4/5

started out okay but then dragged on. Sounded similar to a lot of the music coming out at that time. Not terrible, but not great. 3/5

First song slaps. I remember it from back in the day. Rest of the album falls short for me. Was nice to listen to something different. 3/5

A little slow and had difficulty following along. But this album has one of my favorite songs, The Only Living Boy... so 3/5

It's been a while since I've revisited this album. Every song is fantastic. Easy 5/5

Just really don't like U2. Didn't find anything here that I enjoyed or caught my attention. 2/5

Oh great. 4 songs and over an hour long. I knew it was going to be shit. DNF. 1/5

Decent album. A couple of really great songs. Some not so great. I seemed to have not really enjoyed any of the solo stuff from any of the Beatles members. 3/5

I was always a Kid A kid over OK Computer. Every (actual) song is great. Lot of fillers on this album so I knock it down a star. 4/5

eh. didn't find much here. Just couldn't really get into it. Wasn't terrible. 2/5

Was ok. nothing stood out to me. 2/5

eh

Running up that hill is a banger. not sure i really enjoyed anything else unfortunately. 2/5

Such an intimate performance. Definitely not surprised that this album is included on this list. 4/5

Just couldn't do it. Too repetitive. I tried to give it an honest listen, but sadly I had to skip it. 1/5

some good oldies here. 3/5

eh not my jam. 2/5

I'm not the biggest fan of hiphop, but found this album particularly enjoyable. 3/5

Didn't really feel this one. 2/5

Nah. DNF.

eh it was okay. nothing amazing here. 3/5

A bit challenging to get through, but I get this record's importance due to when it was released. 3/5

Couldn't really get into this one.

So bad

Couldn't get into it. DNF

Pretty good album overall. A tad too long, but I enjoyed it.

eh wasn't really into it.

DNF

Not really for me. A couple songs were good, but got bored as the album progressed.

Never really liked Metallica. This kind of confirmed it.

eh.

Enjoyed this one, but I think the songs ran on for a bit too long.

What pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed this one. 4/5

tried to give this an honest listen, but never been a fan. 1/5

I didn't really like it, but it was kinda catchy. 2/5

I just hate his fucking voice. This is so bad. 1/5

Had to skip the first song. Was not good and dragged on for too long. Then got bamboozled with Genius of Love. Recognized the melody from Mariah Carey. So far, not so great with this album. Skipping a few more songs. Can already tell I'm probably not gonna finish this one. DNF - 1/5

Wasn't terrible, just not really my jam. 2/5

I think I just don't really like Metallica.

why is it so long? 2/5

The music of my people. First time hearing this album. It was an easy listen. 3/5
