1001 Albums Summary

Groovy album. Folk, psychedelic rock, blues, and Grace Slick’s outstanding vocals.

Political folk with 80’s pop production. Some good songs here. Solid.

One of my favorite records of the past 20 years. Every track hits.

Rocks hard with pop guitar hooks over screaming vocals.

Great voice, but grating after several songs.

Loaded with funk

Mostly enjoyable whiny girl pop

Angry young man pop hooks over clean aggressive guitars. Right in my Q zone. 10/10.

Some good songs. Not my favorite Nirvana record

Not familiar with this artist, but liked the sound (samba?)

Fuzzed out British blues rock. Good stuff!

Electro-dream pop. Very chill.

Outstanding prog rock.

Had only heard their “Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space”. I liked this one more. Like a chiller Radiohead. Lots of reverb and echo.

Decent. I liked Satellite of Love and a few of the rockier songs.

Funky, joyful, political.

Best solo Beatle record. Love this album.

Groovy 60’s Folk pop with a sprinkle of rock. Simon wrote some great songs

Surprisingly musical dissonant punk rock

So good. Every number rocks.

Funky

Sounds like middle era Bowie but not as interesting. Didn’t really dig it

Lots of brass.

The vocals were interesting.

Goofy spoken word between Yellow Submarine era Beatle-ish pop. Not bad!

Listenable. Melodic.

The original Americana rock by Canadians (mostly)

Cleaver beats.

Heavy, loud guitars and Chris Cornell’s A+ rock vocals.

Decent power pop

Psychedelic blues rock with aggressive vocals by Janis Joplin

Strange musical style mixing folk, R&B, funk. Crazy weird.

60’s British culturally appropriated blues

I dug this!

Slick pop

I liked the vocals.

Early nuggets from the Stones.

Genre busting

Couldn’t find this album in my stream service. Just listened to the title song

Fast, aggressive and rude fun

Great lyrics. Ok music

Not sure why this is on the list.

Folky & maudlin pop

Some great songs and interesting arrangements

Some great songs and interesting arrangements.

Heavy riffage

Stunning debut album.

A couple of solid hits and a few clunkers.

Lacks fire. Mostly forgettable

Repetitive bass heavy post punk

Jazzy Brazilian pop with nice guitar work

Great live southern rock

Synth pop with sleepy female vocals. Ok background music

Southwestern Americana.

Fun album led by Pharrell’s vocals.

This band was everywhere in the MTV mid 80’s. I’m still not a fan.

Live metal album with an orchestra. Interesting enough but not sure why it made this list.

So good

Not quiet enough for me

Live blues by the legend

16 year old me loved this album. Wish I still had that copy. Not available on Apple Music currently.

Old timey folky country gospel.

Proto-trip hop.

Frusciante returns to save the RHCPs.

Operatic, excellent production by Todd Rundgren.

All bangers

Early TP, some of his biggest hits.

Garage blues

Funky, but with more mellow tracks that I would’ve guessed from the Hardest Working Man in Show Business.

Starts strong, ends dumb

Respect may be the best known cut off this disc, but the whole album is fire. Loved her version of Let the Good Times Roll.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Think a German Streisand

Really disliked this album when I was younger. Not so bad now.

Mellow & hypnotic.

First listen to this, didn’t hit me as hard as Pink Moon. Probably deserves multiple listens.

Lots of religious overtones on this classic rock album

Didn’t like this at first, but it makes decent background music.

Proto-hippy grass

Folky songs about sailors and queens.

Wasn’t familiar with this album of early Queen upbeat prog rock.

Great female rock voice

Some great songs, but also some misses

If Green Day were from the UK

Energetic!

Enjoyed it, enough. Repetative.

Not as catchy as his early stuff, but really good

Decent early goth rock

Michael Stipe’s vocal ballads are the albums focal center.

Moody, melodic.

Alright

Great voice, ok country ballads

Genius level guitar and lyrics.

Not sure why this made the list. Average forgettable pop punk.

Chill cocktail hour electronica

Hippie Byrds aren’t bad.

More on the sad side.

Easy listening Willie.

Hot take: Earnie Isley may be a better guitarist than Jimi Hendrix🔥

Sounds like Bowie outtakes

Not my jam.

Extraordinary debut album.

Didn’t know Ry Cooder played guitar on this weirdo masterpiece. Respect

Chill electronica. Enjoyed it.

A sad, depressing masterpiece. Love this album. RIP Elliot Smith.

Hellyeah!

Light pop

Middle tier Radiohead album, still great

Great voice

Sublime, melodic, exquisite live jazz. Unbelievable that people in the small crowd would talk during this performance. Yes, 63 years ago, there were “chompers” in the audience. 🙄

Folk with a soulful, pop sensibility.

Fantastic sound, but not much variation between songs.

Chunky garage blues

New wave pop punk. Good guitar and vocals.

Played on loop at every record store in the 80’s.

Smooth R&B.

Alt country classic

That’s a lot of love songs. Some are pretty clever.

Fun, topical rock
