1001 Albums Summary

Loved this album! Was quite a bit of a bummer. Talked to social and political themes still applicable to today.

Okay I guess - not a huge Neil Young fan. Falsetto is a bit much, songs are samey throughout the album

Every song sounds the same - don't mind having one or two of these kind of songs, but a whole album gave me a headache lol

Great album! Always think of "Mannish" when I head Muddy Waters, so it was interesting to hear more music that he made.

Surprisingly 80's sounding album. Lots of horns. Could hear the post punk coming in on some songs like "The Mercy Beat."

A few songs I liked, but generally a little too slow and samey.

Wow, great album! Liked it substantially more than After the Gold Rush.

I can appreciate it for a single listen, but I'm not sure I'd ever want to listen to most of it again. I wouldn't say I really enjoyed any of the album, but I can understand its significance.

Interesting collaboration! Sounded like a movie score. Fun listen, but over 2 hours was a big ask lol

Favorites: La Muerta deL Angel, Milonga is coming Fun album!

First time listening to Black Sabbath and loved it! Really enjoyed it and I can hear a number of newer bands that I like who were clearly influenced by their sound.

This is exactly my genre of interest, but I did not like it at all. A little too slow and sad. Could try to listen to it again when I'm in another mood.

Classic!

Wow. Never heard of Nina Simone before. What a truly special and unique voice. Learning about the existence of artists like this is what makes 1001 albums great.

It was fine, pretty bland. Easy listening

Diverse, interesting tracklist. Fun to hear a song from "Baby Driver" on the set.

Funky

Loved this one. I could hear its influences in quite a few of my favorite bands today!

I liked Layla, but mostly due to it's connection to Goodfellas. Wasn't sure what the rest of the album was supposed to be - kind of bluesy rock, but nothing I really enjoyed.

I never want to hear tutti frutti again in my life.

I never want to hear tutti frutti again in my life.

First time listening to De La Soul - couldn't imagine how amazing it must have been hearing something so creative come out in 1989.

Haunting, beautiful, and creative.

Yeah... Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this genre today? Couldn't really enjoy any of the songs.

It was alright, not as good as his first album in my opinion. Nothing that stood out quite as much.

Always love some funk

Foxy!

It was alright, really liked 5th season

Did not get this one unfortunately

Not as memorable as some of his other albums to me. Really liked Word on a Wing

I can see why people would enjoy it, but not for me

A favorite when I was a teenager that holds up just as well today

Good, nothing too memorable. I think it would've been much better at the time.

Points for being the progenitor for a lot of great music, but man it sounds so generic because of how many better copycats that have been released.

Bark bark bark!

Ugh, super repetitive and I didn't really jam with it
