1001 Albums Summary

I only recognized like one or two songs from the album, but it was great to listen to, especially while playing Party Animals.

It was good, but aside from a few standout tracks it felt a little too similar throughout. Still a solid listen though.

A jazzy, smooth RnB classic!

Good, calm driving music through the woods and mountains :-)

A hip-hop classic!

I haven't listened to MBV before, and I assumed they were a completely different kind of music. This album is a hazy, fuzzy compilation of songs that succeed in creating a specific feel, but there are some drawbacks. The first 2/3rds of the album all sound the same, to the point where they basically sound like the same song. By the time any variety at all appeared on the album, I was already checking the track list to see how much longer I had to listen to this album. It's a bit exhausting, and the final few songs are unique but nothing stands out altogether.

Very relaxing classic jazz, recorded live :-)

Classic blues folksy rock. Not really my style though.

CLASSIC hip hop album. Interlude sketches aside, this is loaded with songs that are still listened to today.

Pioneers of punk, right on the cusp of the creation of pop-punk in the 90's

Dusty is classic soul and RnB from the 50's-60's, and this album is probably her most underrated effort. Odds are, your mom or grandma absolutely loved at least one of her songs, given her Motown-inspired style and international flair.

This one was a little hard to get through. I'm not a house music fan to begin with since my dad would listen to it nonstop in the 90's. There are some good rhythms and lines on this album, but it feels pretty monotonous by the end. I'm sure it was fire at the time of release though.

Classic post-Beatles McCartney, if you’re into it.

Classic post-Beatles McCartney, if you’re into it.

This is somewhere between the Beatles and Beach Boys, though I'm not too sure where.

While the sound was likely revolutionary at the time, it has since been replicated so often by other bands as to unfairly seem a bit generic now. But for what it is, it’s still classic.

This album has some of my favorite Metallica songs on it so I’m biased.

I don't know, I've gotten a wave of 60's and early 70's albums that all sound too similar at this point :-(

A Classic rock album that, while definitely sounding of a specific era, has also managed to find timelessness.

After 4 or 5 tracks, this album really just sounded like one long song. not for me at all.

I've never heard of this band or album, but I really enjoyed it!

not a country fan at all, and this album did nothing to change that.

This isn't my usual preference, but I really enjoyed it.

Psychedelic stuff really isn’t for me but the album is solid.

Another classic Metallica album. My favorite is still ...And Justice For All, though.

I’m not a fan of Bob Dylan, and this didn’t change that. Musically well put together but just not for me.

a little too much wailing on the second half of the album for me.

Better than I was expecting, actually. The singers voice isn’t my cup of tea though.

This seemed a bit darker than I was expecting from the "Stayin Alive" guys. Not really my cup of tea either way.

This must have been insane back in the day, lol

A hip hop classic, though to be honest I don't know that it would be nowadays.

THE premier rich kid rock album, lol.

It's ok, but not really my thing.

Bluesy country folk. It's not typically what I listen to, but it was pretty good!

I mean, it’s the Beatles. Aside from the weirdly questionable lyrics of “you can’t do that”, it’s fine. Not the best Beatles album by a long shot though.

An amazing precursor so what Sleater-Kinney and others would evolve. Amazing album :-)

This was the most late 80's/early 90's album I've ever heard.

I should have listened to this with a frosty milkshake and a hamburger.

Leonard Cohen has a one-of-a-kind voice and sound that really makes his music stand out from similar artists. It's a classic sound that defines that genre.

an absolute banger of a classic album.

Not really for me, but I can see how this started a movement in music.
