1001 Albums Summary

I Believe in Thing called love was amazing. I just always thought this band was mocking 80s hair. Never thought to listen to the whole album

Did anyone else know the guy that sings Coconut was white? Don’t know if I’m embarrassed or offended. Who knew he also covered Without You and is responsible for Gotta Get Up? This album is versatile. Feels like LSD

Never liked Eminem. His voice is grating to me

Why’d you try to ruin Stagger Lee like that?

Makes me want to do cocaine

So freaking good

All songs sound the same to me

Scenario was the jam. “Base in your face means peace see ya later” was my go to insult in the 7th grade. Check the Rhime slaps too. Realizing having an older brother into rap may have had an impact on my musical taste

I love Fleet Foxes. The harmonies, the echo-y singer songwriter shit. I prefer Helplessness Blues to this one.

I’ve never heard of the Hookworms but I listened from front to back and really fucking love it. Giving LCD, Arcade Fire. Added to my playlist for sheeze

I remember the video premiere of Everybody Hurts. My teenage hormones loving the permission to be sad. I have an unsavory story about Michael Stipe from my time in Athens. You kind of have to love REM if you went to Georgia. This is an amazing album either way.

Sounds like Peter Gabriel. These lyrics are wild. Some of them made me laugh. It’s like he is just naming stuff he sees walking down the city street. I liked track 8 I love this Life.

I really, really love the hit. Pure 90s. The rest is meh

Wow this album takes me all the way back. Going to show my age but definitely has this on cassette tape. Didn’t have to fast forward through many songs. Lars Ulrich is such a badass on this album. I love him on the drums. NGL it gets me so hype

Sexy and a little psycho

Funky

Got a little annoying-had to skip most songs after a minute or so. Gave two stars only because I can see how they are influential. I do like their more recent album.

Love a grundge era album

I loved trailer park but this is okay. Love her voice

My favorite Led Zeppelin album. Nothing has ever made me wish that I was a teenager in the 70s more than this album, except maybe for Dazed and Confused. Robert Plant’s voice is so soulful. The nerd in me always loved the Lord of the Rings reference in Ramble On. Thank you is such a great fucking ballad. I die.

I love electronic but this just felt spooky and off key. Got redundant for me

Can’t stand the voice

Some I loved, some I didn’t

Loved the 80s-ness of this album but that’s about it

Just okay.

Bittersweet Symphony is a great song! I love the strings, the lyrics. So different really from the rest of this album. Drugs don’t work is a great song. I remember Ben Harper singing it, not The Verve. Giving it a 3 only because of the hit song is that good.

Can’t beat Al Green’s voice with horns and an electric organ. Classic and sexy. Baby making music

Do they use this to torture during an interrogation? My ears are bleeding

What is a Black Cow? Is he telling her to drink her milkshake and get outta here? Love a good yacht rock album

This sounds like unicorns and rainbows

Love the Pixies. Love this album.

Her voice is so unique.

Sing it to me Stevie

So this is the reason why I love this project. Over course most of these albums have hits that you love but you really get to see what wasn’t “great” or maybe what you missed. A Man needs a Maid is so lame. No Neil, a Man needs to grow up. Old Man is a complete classic, love it. Alabama inspired a whole other classic which is pretty epic. I didn’t like listening all the way through. Felt very repetitive and his voice got on my nerves after a while. I give it a 3.5 but will round up because I’m a glass half full type

An old friend burned me a CD playlist back in 2002 introducing me to BVSC. I love the entire album. Makes me want to visit Cuba and drink mojitos.

I actually have quite a bit of meditation music in my Apple Music library. This was just okay for me.

Maybe it’s the time of year but this sounded Christmas to me. I do enjoy jazz and Miles is one of the greats.

I went heavy into Smiths circa 2005? I listened so much I had to delete off all from Apple Music. Great songs maybe will revisit in 10 years

No. Just no. Thank you

Love a wall of sound especially at Christmas

Had to listen on YouTube for some reason. Love the electric piano.

Paradise by the Dashboard light is one of my faves

Anxiety Prince Thom. Always so unexpected, a little dark but so listenable all the way through. Brilliant! So beautifully written. I love how many of the songs ebb and flow. Great running music

The hits make this a 4.5 but my love for Stevie makes it a 5

I liked it. Give it a 2.5. Boys immediately started wrestling each other once I put this on so it defo elicits a reaction. I may have liked it more in a different mood.

I didn’t need this. Prefer the originals

I didn’t love Nirvana when I first heard this album. The mtv unplugged album won me over. I now love both versions and any version I hear of these songs. Speaking of influential, this album really went on to define the 90s and alternative rock. So much creativity and talent in Grohl and Cobain. I often think what could have happened musically if Kurt Cobain lived. Rest in peace Kurt!

Always loved Yo Mama. Some pretty great shade. Passing me by is on regular rotation in this house. The sample at the beginning is so freaking classic early 90s rap. Great song. 3.5

Iconic. An instrumental album made 62 years ago, still slaps, and is still relevant in Movies, TV and commercials in 2024. My kids thought it was hilarious the album is named for a vegetable.

Least favorite PG album ever - however, looking forward to his other weird shit

I didn’t hate this like I thought I was going to at first listen. Some of the tracks got a little jam feel to it. Not sure I’d put it in regular rotation but wasn’t a bad Sunday listen.

I love old U2. This has some good songs but all ended up being overplayed and overproduced. Don’t @ me, just my thoughts. 2.5

What it takes is a great rock ballad. Janie’s got a gun is so good. Steven Tyler truly has THE voice made for rock. The rest of the songs are kind of cringe. 3.5

Wasn’t in the mood

This was so funk nasty I loved it. Made me shake a tail feather.

I like her voice

Classic

Love this album! I remember buying it in high school and the moon faces on each cd. CD’s! Wow I’m old

Creepy

I’ve seen the Beastie Boys twice. Once at Lollapalooza (when it was touring). It was blistering hot. When the Beastie Boys came on a rain shower appeared out of nowhere and the crowd went WILD. It was definitely a top 5 show for me. I didn’t even need to listen to this to know it’s 5 stars. The Beastie Boys reinvented themselves so many times but remained consistently the three fucking baddest white boys in the hip hop genre.

I know she’s one of the greats but I never really enjoyed any of her music, until this. Maybe I was just looking at the wrong era.

What in the Dixie chicken is this?! Embarrassed to say, I didn’t know Stills was something before Crosby Stills and Nash. Love a sweet southern jam/rock band. More cowbell!!!

Love the first song but then they all started to sound the same

2.5

Forgot how much I love Jack Ass. Not my favorite Beck album

Otis Redding was a regular in my house growing up. My Dad is a big Motown guy and he had a few of his records. I love this album but I do prefer Sam Cooke’s version of Change is Gonna Come. Still 5 stars in my book

3.5

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Felix called it caveman music. Pretty fun but couldn’t get through entire album

OutKast were huge in Atlanta and the rest of the dirty south for almost a decade but this was when the rest of the world really got to know them. The Dungeon Family heavily represented-appearances from CeeLo and Killer Mike. Here you can really start to see the creative differences between the two. Amazing album lots of hits. Two creative geniuses doing their thing. Love OutKast but I’m heavily biased due to my Georgia ties

Love a little yacht rock to start the day

Would have really enjoyed this in my teens

Can you say LSD?

Never really been a fan of the gorillaz

Added

Wow this was their 8th album? Didn’t realize they put out so much music. Classic album. Fun songs but never really something I seek out to listen to. These songs are everywhere.

My favorite Stevie Song of all time is As. Good lord I freaking love it.

Nothing compares to Janis’ sound

This album is main character walking the streets in deep emotional thought. I don’t know why I just always felt like anyone the loves the cure is just like so much cooler than I could ever be. Love the synth. The lyrics to Lovesong are some of the simplest, most romantic words and Smith makes it sound so unrequited.

I like it but not for every day

Catchy with a side of cultural appropriation

I like some Bjork but not sure this album is it for me.

This my shit

Makes me want to funnel a beer

That was a lot of songs

Very 2000s

I love the Waterboys. Have several of their songs in heavy rotation but not from this album

Made me want to hop in the car and drive to NOLA

I love a melancholy piano

I didn’t realize Ghostface did Back Like that. Also that he had so many albums? Definitely has that WuTang sound

I had this on CD. I loved it then and love it now. I love all the covers and love them coming from Johnny Cash.

This project has taught me that I really loved George Michael as a child.

No THIS is my actual favorite Led Zeppelin…until the next one pops up. I love this album. Beautiful guitar and diverse album

Every song is brilliant-soulful-psychedelic

Not a huge fan of early Beatles

I bet a live show was off the chain

Love his voice

This was fun

Some okay. A little repetitive

Not as emotionally connected to this Who album. Haven’t heard most of these songs but I enjoyed some. Can see how it’s influential

Immediately improved my mood today

I love Paper Planes-who doesn’t?

Brilliant

I have never been a fan of Britney’s music-nothing personal!

Love his big gay angel voice

I heard Last Goodbye on the Atlanta alternative station when I was a sophomore in high school and I fell in love with it. There are so many great songs on this album. Love the lilac wine cover.

I really enjoyed this

Ray makes every song better.

So many hits. Never really been my vibe but much respect

LCD is my favorite

I freaking loved this. the soulfulness, the beat, the funk, the samples. 60-70s gospel music is one of my favorite genres and this has a similar message. Adding the whole thing

I don’t think I’d listen again but I didn’t hate it

This is riding around with my brother and his friends smoking blunts.

I enjoyed this. Very meditative and rhythmic.

Fairytale of New York now identifies as Christmas right? I love that song.

I don’t love the Beatles but this is my favorite of their albums

This came out my junior year of college. Highly anticipated. Lots of after parties where this album was played. BOB was on my running playlist for years. I fucking love OutKast and this is probably their best. I may say that about all of them

I had zero idea “say hello wave goodbye” was a cover when David Gray sang it. Mind blown. This album is so 80s- it’s great. Sex Dwarf is wild. Overall enjoyed it.

I’m not sure I’m in the mindset for this. Could be fun on drugs

Classic

I am shocked this album was in the 90s. I thought it was 80s. Anyway not my thing.

I was hoping this was bluegrass but I ended up liking it anyway

Almost all better than originals

The hit song from this album SLAYS. For that it’s getting a 3

Theatrical and cool in a way only the French can do

Jazz piano has my heart

I know they supposedly have the greatest drummer of all time but I’ve never been able to tolerate this album

A guy I liked made me a mix cd with a bunch of songs from this album in my early twenties. I loved it. Such a lullaby

Loved this album when it was released. They got kind of played out over the years but it was pretty amazing at the time. Very sweet and melodic

This one is a bit too heavy metal for me. Not as emotionally connected but I love the drum

This album has my favorite Bob Dylan song. I have many but the favorite changes every few years. I love his voice-can’t wait for the movie

I liked it

The Beastie Boys were groundbreaking and before their time. I was 8 but all the older cousins, big brother were all rocking the cassette. So good. And it still resonates 30 something years later.

I love BB King. The live album wasn’t my favorite listen…would be better-live

I didn’t love every song but the ones I did I loved

Timeless. Relevant.

This is why I love this project. This album is like the soundtrack to an 80s movie. I also feel like it could have been just released. Either way, I’ve not heard of the ban or the album or a single song before today and I LOVED it.

This feels before it’s time.

We played the crap out of this album in the early 90s. I got to see Cypress Hill a few times live. Once around 2002 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta and they cleared an 8ft bong during the show on a ladder. It was magic. They are underrated.

I was a little girl in the 80s of course I loved Cyndi lauper

This woman’s work is so iconic. The rest is just ok

Kinda cringe

Just the perfect amount of weird. I loved it. Wish it was on Apple Music. I always liked the song they had about Nigel

So sweet and simple. Love this album

THE Southern rock album

Too much clarinet

Never heard of Thundercat but will definitely be diving in after this listen

I’ve never really loved Bruce

Prince vibes. Such a versatile album and unique voice. Relevant lyrics

This is the best one

A little goofy. Maybe just not in the mood for this today

Trevor, play fucking Oasis

His voice is so classic and unique. Nothing like it. Beautiful album.

Didn’t even really need to listen to this to know it was getting 5 stars. If you can listen to this album without breaking out a dance move-there might be something wrong with you.

Didn’t like his voice

Feels like a musical

Will Smith vibes

Reminds me of My Best Friends Wedding. She has some pipes.

Not my thing but I can appreciate

Yes finally some bluegrass!!!

Not a country fan ban slow burn has been a favorite for a min

I really enjoyed it. Loved the one with Natalie Merchant

Now I remember why I never liked Nick Cave.

I didn’t hate it but it kind of sounded like a high school garage band. I could see how it was ahead of its time.

David Byrne is just cool

I remember the music video for You Can Call me Al. I think Chevy Chase was in it? Love Paul Simon and this album.

Interesting album cover. This is a bit to thought provoking for my taste.

She definitely coined the phrase fuckery.

Who goes to prison to make a recording? Legend

I liked it

Not today Satan

This sounds like a harder Hamilton. Sorry he sounds like Lin Manuel to me. That’s all I can hear

Elvis was influential. He had major sex appeal/rizz. I mean we all know the words to his many hits. Never listened to this album through all that but I enjoyed it

I don’t hate it

Very 90s

Love Hugh Masekela. Never did a deeper dive. Perfect for a fall Sunday. Added to my APPLE music

Sinead gives zero f’s

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Maybe because it’s spooky season

This music really spooked Peanut

I’m not sure if I wasn’t in the mood for this but I didn’t love it

Love his sound

I love how grudge this sounds. A little too heavy for my liking.

This surprised me. I had no idea there was a re-make and never heard of the album. Loved the vocal harmonies.

I loved earlier green day but this seemed too commercialized for my taste when it came out.

These songs were short-by the time I was ready to skip it-it was over!

I don’t care. It’s a great album.

This reminds of a soundtrack to an IMAX film

This album was everything when it came out. Listening now some of the lyrics are silly. Lauren Hill was clearly the star of that trio IMO.

Every song is great.

Supercut is a fave

Not a fan of him as a person but this was a visionary album

Back 2 Life does slap! 3.5

Wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it

I love the previous album by Hole-Live Through This-I think. While I liked this album alot and don’t think I’ve ever listened to the entire album until now-I don’t see why it’s an influential album. This was the end of grunge and they are trying to make Courtney sound like Gwen Stefani. The whole album is way more produced. Anyway just my thoughts

Classic

Too much for me

Never heard of her but love this

Hard for me to listen since I know the type of person he is

LOVE

3.5-really liked it but couldn’t go 4 stars because it was a little redundant

Great movie

3.5 stars-pretty enjoyable-yacht rocky

I like the sound. Not the talking

Insecure introduced me to Jazmine Sullivan. Her voice is fire!! Feels like the future of R&B

I had this album in college and I fucking loved it. There is maybe not a sexier song than Wild as the wind. Love this album

THE Comeback Album

Wow this reminds me of high school. I can taste the residual blunt papers

I didn’t realize there was a song about John Wayne Gacy. Great album. Has like the saddest song of all time on it but I love it. Ahead of its time and a little weird

So 90s

I remember these hits…

Saw them in NYC just after this album came out. Amazing! He killed some white wine on stage

I only liked 1 song-don’t think I’m in the mood for this today

Not bad until the guy started having an orgasm

Gosh I loved this album. I was mid twenties and wow does this represent so much of that time. I loved running to this. Then the first time I saw arcade fire perform with lcd at the Louisville waterfront. And there were like 100 people in the band on stage. I loved it. Top 5 concert
