1001 Albums Summary

Abraxas by Santana

War by U2

So by Peter Gabriel

.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

Great album

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

I loved the rhythm and melodies, but I don't have the experience with Latin music to make an informed critique.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of... by Arrested Development

The Joshua Tree by U2

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch

I do enjoy Americana/Folk/Country, and this album is great, but I need some variety. Revelator, Red Clay Halo and Everything Is Free are great songs.

Permission to Land by The Darkness

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

Absolute banger from start to finish

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

I wasn't fully on board when this first came out. Didn't understand what direction they were heading, but after repeated listening and the benefit of time, it is truly a masterpiece.

Closer by Joy Division

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

London Calling by The Clash

Solid start to finish. So many different styles of music jammed into one album.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar

Dog Man Star by Suede

Boring

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

Bruce is great, the band sounds great and the lyrics are good, but I just never got into the whole product.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear

Amazing how times and tastes change. Nostalgia for the early 2010's. Loved this when it came out, and still do, but this is now relegated to background music. 4 songs is all you need before moving on.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence

Haunting. Not into 60's psychedelic, but this is different. Learning the story behind the album while listening made it more powerful. Will never listen to it again.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent

Document by R.E.M.

Great album. Heard everywhere when I started college. Sometimes hard to determine if it's a good song or good memory

Manassas by Stephen Stills

Perfectly fine without any stand out features. Nothing to remember

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub

Never was a member of the Fanclub. Strong Big Star influences with a touch of Lemonheads.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

Jams last a bit long, but great funk

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie

Not my thing. Sounds bland and very 90's.

Revolver by Beatles

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

I love her raw sound and don't give shit attitude. Not something I actively choose to listen to, but always enjoy when it's on.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul

Early 90's hip hop at it's best. I will listen to the album in it's entirety until I die

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar

Appreciate the lesson on what you are hearing. The album becomes too long and chaotic for my tastes.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt

I love Bonnie Raitt, but there are definite ups and downs in this album. Some great pop and blues, but also late 80's elevator music

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard

One of the original rock and rollers. 50's rock was never my favorite style, but Little Richard gets 5 stars for his contribution to modern American music.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Bright Flight by Silver Jews

Not my thing

Connected by Stereo MC's

Just love the beat. Was something new when it came out and still pops up on the radio.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

I like Janelle and her beats, but the music gets a bit repetitive. Enjoyed the back end of the album.

Suede by Suede

Boring. Boring. They are trying so hard to be artistic

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear

GREY Area by Little Simz

I don't hear the amazing "flow". It sounds like a GTA 3 radio station

Eliminator by ZZ Top

En-Tact by The Shamen

That was amazing. I've never heard of this group. Would have been 100% into these guys if I had discovered them when they came out in the early 90's.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair

Rated 3 more for memories than love of the music. Song was everywhere when I moved to Chicago at age 23. I never understood all the hype.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets

Never heard of them. I Like the sound, but sounds similar to other Brit-Pop

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

I Against I by Bad Brains

Ray Of Light by Madonna

Never liked Madonna. Ever. This was big at the time, but aged very poorly.

Sea Change by Beck

I enjoyed this. I go to Beck for upbeat fun, but this shows a matured personality

1984 by Van Halen

Pump by Aerosmith

No. Never. Aerosmith copied the Rolling Stones and should have died after their 2 good songs in the 70's. Run DMC should get royalties from this band.

Hms Fable by Shack

How did this make it on the 1001 list?

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin

Doesn't get better. 5 stars always.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch

James Brown Live At The Apollo by James Brown

Atomizer by Big Black

Not a metal fan, but I like elements of this. The repeating instrumental of Big Money and Stinking Drunk stick with me. I think the vocals detract from the music.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

One of the greats

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

Great album. Great to hear the original spark of the genre. Doesn't hit and all songs, but the great ones are spectacular.

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit

This album was so bad, I made sure to listen to it through New Pipe on my phone so not to get it into my Youtube algorithm.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

Always 5 for the Tribe

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
