1001 Albums Summary

Not for me. Good pace and rhythm.

Good. Upbeat, good pace. Very similar styles throughout.

Never heard any of these songs. Very enjoyable to listen to something new.

Crazy slow. Take a walk on the wild side

Just great

Fun listen

interesting to listen to some founding hip hop

slow and whiny, not for me

Not my favorite. Upbeat

surprised to find very enjoyable

very surprisingly enjoyable

good ol fashioned fun

good os hip hop. Reminds of chill WTC songs

indy, whiny, doesnt get me going. Can tolerate

Didnt necessary make me want to relisten but I liked it and similar to my taste. 3+

All around chill. Good quality music. 3

Like the chill Kanye stuff. 4

it was good but mostly in spanish 3

slow, old, nice to listen to. Classic late 60s slow rock. Minor jimmy buffet influence? 3

3

3

Good music but slow. Could have a place in a third tier playlist for certain occasions. 2

slow folk. Can hardly understand the words. All whispery. 1

good classic rock, british invasion. 3

laid back but good music and engaging basslines. 3

another example of being pleasantly surprised by the dead. 3

good vibe, cool jams. 3

not bad but wouldnt listen again. 2

interesting afrobeats. 3

fine for background. Nothing to write home about

Interesting dance music. 2

better than the other lou reed album but... 2

60s garage band. Pop style rock. Upbeat. 2/3 originally but kept listening after a few days and liked more and more. 4

bangers were bangers, rest were straight meh

60s jam band stuff

no surprises. 3

few songs I new but most were new. Other than the slop noises in the interludes just a solid old hip hop album

Like most of these 60s bands/albums but this one is a bit slow. 2

bunch of recognizable songs. The others werent bad either. 3

the who live album. Good stuff. 3

multiple beats overtop each other. Lyrics are exclusively non-sense. Can see why this is important for music but isnt amazing to listen to. 2

founding member of the beach boys. A solo recreation of an old album that was never finished by the band. cool album. Amazing alternate lyrics for good vibrations. 3

could be background music if the lyrics werent so... 2

2hrs. Tons of bangers, like the other stuff too. Textbook 4

surprisingly short. a 4 that makes me reconsider what a 5 is

Would be great study music. Albums like this are probably the best example of what I was hoping to get from the the 1001 albums. Maybe the first 4 that hasnt come from an album/artist I already know.

Liked. Fast rock. Late seventies 3

take on me. Other songs werent great. 2

lots of bangers and the others were good too. 4

Crazy how many samples were taken from this. Ready to die by NBIG was a 4, this is a 3

Black magic woman + instrumental and spanish songs. 3

Good rolling beat. 3

classic new order.

white stripes album from 01. Most songs fit for a fifa soundtrack. Cementing their legacy as one hit wonders. 2

blur by blur. Song 2. The rest were also in the same style and enjoyable to listen

good background

4

good background

good light funk for the background. 3

not capable of listening to british rap

good instrumental. Really needs a separate scale. 2 which is highest for instrumental. Not my favorite instrumental but cant give it a 1

mix of songs that are super typical REM and others that are not. Good slower background

lotta the same. 2 but would have been a 3 if I didnt finish the album

reminds me of that song by espin a little. Decent background but not my type of music. 2

not my thing

much more pallatable than the previous jazz type album. Fine for background. Liked the lack of lyrics. Tough to scale, gonna go with 3 and bump the louis prima to a 2

not my type

didnt make me a bowie fan but it fits in with most of what I listen to. 3

some good grunge. 3

understand how its influential and what not but couldnt make it through more than half of any song. 1

didnt totally dig it. Slow and non engaging. 2

the deluxe version of the album is a bit of a tragedy. So many iconic songs in the album with a bunch of other meh songs. 4

not much to say but it was enjoyable

kinda silly but super fun and actually enjoyable. Going to be hard for any other instrumental to top this one. 4

slow and a bit shrill. 2

just not my thing. 1

more real early hip hop. Lots of samples and instrumental apart from adlibs. Good enough for background to get a 3

wasnt bad but not necessarily something I am drawn to listen to. Slightly slow. 2

not my thing and not anything special but wasnt painful. 2

first song is from commercials/online but cant pin down where. A bit slow but I actually like it. 3

Good background. 1 familiar beat. 3

surprised to find it came out in 57 which seems like it could have set the tone for this genre for the next decade. 4

Singers voice is brutal, had to stop. Band wasnt bad but only made it through half a song. 1

soft 3 but cant be a 2. was fine, one song had a riff that sounds just like the bruins goal simplified.

strong 3. Cant make 4 but is quite good

great example of what 1001 albums can provide. Another strong 3

Not bad but couldn’t find a case id put it back on. Strong 2

Not sure what this is or who it’s for

Was expecting to enjoy more. Soft 2 on a good day

Much better than the average two but wouldn’t listen to the album through again

Whiny. Pretty sure that was the same song 12 times.

Not a Wilco guy

not the biggest fan. 2

high 3. Similar but all super listenable.

Someone else said like rush but boring

First half of each song was decent

Old country

Showtuney

Concert band with jazz influence. Would listen again

Jazz instrumental

New rating system to mean shift up and better discern 2 from 3. 1- can’t stand 2- ok but wouldn’t listen again 3- would listen if it came on but not searched for 4- good, would listen again 5- all time Was 2 now 3. Listened more and still a 2. Had all the thin lizzy songs I recognized.

3. Didnt love it but glad I listened.

Strong 3. Glad to have experienced

Started as a 2 but glad I kept listening so I could give it a proper rating. 1

3 songs sucked so hard. The rest of the album was a solid 4 with interesting new music and good 1001 albums example.

Feels like a 4 but if 4 criteria is entire album listenability it cant be. Really cool album, good songs for the most part but some are stinkers.

pretty much what I was thinking. Generally enjoyable. 3 not 4 because nothing really stands out

Got this one 2 days after Ozzy died. Long songs, great riffs, passionate vocals. Would listen again

just fine for work background. Could not listen around other people as its definitely weird. Great quick pace. Would have been a 1 if it came on in the car instead. A work 3
