1001 Albums Summary

Good vibes, I understand why people really enjoy, but I feel like every song is leading up to something and never gets there.

Fun and poppy

I liked it better at 37 than I did when it came out. I know it was indie and probably somewhat DIY but if the production was a little better with more crisp vocals it would sound more clean.

Never thought I liked Radiohead, but I think it’s because the fans of Radiohead.

You know, I used to have a velvet Stevie wonder painting, and I also have never listened to a Stevie wonder album. I’ve only ever heard him live on award shows and special performances, and his early stuff is amazing.

Always a favorite. Never heard all of this album, but it seems to be a good one. I like that the stones always throw back and mix in some classic blues

Not a fan. Industrial Anya with no cohesion.

Discount Don Henly, wanna be morrisey. Pass.

Awful, this album was like when you’re trying to ignore children who are just bound and determined to make you notice them.

Good album, went by fast. Not sure where this album comes in the discography but ok computer is better.

Meh. I don’t feel like I NEEDED to listen to this. Just made me tired on my way home from work.

Pretty cool. Rod is a classic. Just like hotdogs and a side of beans.

I like blondes, but blondie doesn’t really do much for me. The house of glass song is cool, but meh.

I remember in 1997 I was watching 12 Angry Viewers on MTV, waiting for a new Reel Big Fish video. But instead they played around the world by daft punk, and as I was upset because neither missed RBF or whatever, I was semi interested in what daft punk was doing because of the helmets. But didn’t appreciate it until later in my musical life.

Cool

That was a wild ride. I can only imagine gettin’ ripped on whatever and throwing this on and feelin good.

Cool, 80’s version of arcade fire.

Dolly rules

Happy crimus

Portuguese Sade. Sounds like she’s trying to cast spells on me.

Fun

Meh, might have been cooler when it came out in 77’.

Can’t go wrong with Tom.

Cool. Liked the songs with samples and dj sounds the most

Nice album for a drive home from work.

Remember when The Beach Boys were on full house? That was crazy, anyway this album was trash.

Pass.

Crazy that bon Scott died so soon after this. Didn’t know how many actual bon Scott songs I knew growing up.

Ok, nice for drive home from work

Sort of good, sort of bad

Pretty cool. Not sure if I’ve ever listened to a queen album start to finish. Definitely didn’t know bohemian rhapsody was from this album.

I think it would have been crazy to see James brown at his level of career. But as far as the album goes, nothing better than a good horn section, but my take away was that the album wasn’t mixed very well. Had vocals only on one side

Was ok. Doesn’t matter what era we are in or come from there’s always 10 guys that sound like this.

Not my bag. Just sounds like a day walking around with me saying random words and thought, but now someone put weird music behind it.

Pretty slick. I’m having high school flashbacks. Always wondered why new pollution was a not fan favorite but pretty cool memory lane album

Pretty slick

The sun came out for the first time yesterday in about 20 days. And at the same time I got to listen to this classic masterpiece.

Funky

Trash

Meh x5

Trash.

Interesting to finally listen to albums that have such big influences on bands that I listen to.

Great way to get pumped before school, now it got me amped for work.

Didn’t change my life, but wasn’t bad.

Awesome

Hella dank

Have never listened to a black sabbath album. Pretty slick. I see again where lots of people get influence and imitation.

Nice way to start the early-morning drive to work

This album was a mess. The first half seemed like she recorded the vocals first and then they made music around it, then we go into weird dream scapes? And then guess what all we wound up in Ireland and now we’re listening to Irish folk music, cool

Cool

It’s ok, I personally don’t get why everyone loves them. Maybe it was a time and place type thing. But I wasn’t there so

The first song hooked me, and then was jamming along, and then it seemed to kind of let up at the end, but all in all good listen

Unpopular opinion: Hendrix is kind of overrated. Undeniable skill on the guitar and great vocals, but putting it all together and making albums kinda not great

Pretty cool

Wow nirvana

The only reference to deep purple that I have is smoke on the water. And this album is nothing like smoke on the water, so that’s cool.

That first track had me hooked, then it was a wild ride on whether he was an early Orville peck or another morrissey guy. But it was ok

As a blues fan, there were parts that I did like but this album was not necessarily my favorite, but cool

Interesting that most of what I listened to of the album had no vocals.

Crazy that all the ABBA songs that I know are on one album currently

This album was OK, not really sure if Bowie is for me. Not really sure who he was appealing to just because his music was not quite poppy not quite Rocky but I don’t know I wasn’t alive back then, so who knows

Pretty cool again never listen to Alice Cooper album all the way through interesting

Interesting, good, but not probably something I would continue listening to.

I don’t really know if I actually like the beastie boys.

I feel like I remember that album being better. Still a classic.

Interesting not really my first go to, but I get it.

Neil Young is the best.

I’ve never listened to KdLang and only knew about her from references in other things but I was delightfully surprised at this album. Not sure if this is how all of her album sound but it’s got me interested to listen to more.

Classic J5. In rotation still every once in a while.

Pretty slick, I was confused with the first song not knowing it was broken up like that I said they really needed to have a better album arrangement. Then realized it’s just an awesome song. So

Not that great. I bet he got some panties wet back then, but I was dry and annoyed.

I like that is was more blusey. I’ve only really ever been a hits or the second album guy for Led Zeppelin so wow Led Zeppelin.

This album did not make me come alive. I only know two songs and Frampton seems like the poor man’s almost everyone else. From that era I mean wow I guess.

I think this was the first repeat artist that I’ve had. So you know deep purple is pretty cool, and I probably would’ve been into them when they were fresh.

Trash. First two songs were a tease and then it’s just some whiny acoustic garbage until white rabbit and white rabbit is literally like a 45 second song and then more trash so nice try guys.

Wow guns and roses

Not bad, wouldn’t be a personal choice but wouldn’t turn it off if it’s on where I’m at.

I always love a good reggae album, but on some of the more serious ones I always feel a little ignorant about what they’re always so mad about so this one was cool, but I feel like there was a lot going on that I don’t know about so.

Nice to have true jazz album, but I’m more of a horn guy, not main piano and drums. But either way a good one for a Friday.

The song about him killing a chick in Paris was cool.

Seems like they probably could’ve been more successful at the Smiths and Morrissey not pretty much pigeonholed this genre

Q-tip is always a good listen.

At first, I was gonna kind of trash it, but then I read what the album was all about and then kind of relisted to a little bit and I think it was OK. I don’t know if it’s up there in the grates of an album that will get repeated, but it’s a good piece of musical history.

Always a good listen with Mr. Muddy Waters, not one of my favorite albums of his but again still a great listen in blues is the best

Personally, I think this album is boring. That first mid 80s generation of hip-hop when they were still trying to figure things out, no real variances just the same beat pattern, the same rhyme pattern over a regular snare. Meh

Not my jam. I feel like when I was a teenager and it came out It was better? But now, as an almost 40-year-old it is not great.

Not the best. Baba O’Reilly and the other song are obviously cool but the rest of the album didn’t do much for me. The only real who album I like is the Tommy album so

Not my favorite of the group but still a favorite group. I feel like I wish I liked Rage Against the Machine more than I do even though I still like them, but anyway good album

Pretty good I’ve never listened to her before. I think that some of the songs could really be punched up with some better more intense drum work, but if it’s for the time and place when this album came out good listen

Good listen makes me maybe wanna listen to more of their albums.

I got this record when I was a kid and thought it was the coolest. One of his better offerings IMO. But still there’s something about some Hendrix that sometimes feels unorganized and unfinished

Kanye has always been a confusing artist to me. This album has some really great lyrics and ideas. Some of the beats are a bit strange but they work and having this be my first Kanye album that I’ve listened to in years it was a good one.

Pretty good album. Never understood the addition of Neil young to the group but it was cool. A little weird the way the album ends on kind of an abrupt song.

Doesn’t get much better than the king

Trash. 2 minute songs with 30-60 second intros. No thanks.

I usually don’t care for those late 70s early 80s pop or I guess not pop punk but new wave punk rock bands but this one was actually pretty good. Don’t know if I wanna list other other other albums but this album was great.

No notes.

Not very mind blowing

Boring not my jam.

As a 38-year-old adult, I think I really miss the boat on being a person that is in love with prince. I do know that he is a incredibly talented musician, but I don’t know.

Nice album to wind down with after a hard day at work.

Fun.

Fun listen, makes you wanna maybe listen to other albums.

Not really my jam. There’s probably some decent lyrics in there, but not really my thing.

Turn off I would put it into my rotation, but it was a nice listen for a 45 minute drive.

Not really sure why everyone loves Bruce so much. Half of this album is sort of incoherent

Always a good listen.

I get the idea behind it. I understand why people would be into it, so technically I do like it but I don’t want to listen to it.

I appreciate a ska band just as much as the next person, but this one didn’t catch my vibe.

I remember when that came out, and I don’t remember liking it then. So not much has changed.

Ok

Classic. Didn’t like it when it came out. Was too young to appreciate

Interesting

Didn’t give me riled up.

That’s a pretty good listen nice chill album for a drive home after work didn’t know three of those singles were her, but I guess I never really knew who the artist was for those singles in general so when when when

No thanks.

That’s a no for me dog. New generation trying to be Don Henley.

Good album for a sunny ride to work.

Fun, made me want to be on a beach.

Oh wow, the Beatles.

Oh wow, the clash.

Prettty cook

I have listened before, but not as the only point of focus. This time I listened on the way to work, and I have to say nothing really wowed me.

Wasn’t really my vibe

Classic

Fun

I’ve never heard this album before let alone not too much of wings in general, but I think McCartney might be the better of the Beatles. I feel like he was just way more open to different musical styles and taste and I think that he honestly could’ve been kind of a heavier artist, maybe a different time but regardless

One of the best.

Good background music, sounds like filter

First time listen

Good and fun

Good and fun

Pretty awesome. Never listened to them other than the one single.

My dad told me a story once that he had breakfast with the allman brothers at a truck stop diner. Anyways this album and eat a peach are two very nostalgic pieces of music for me, since it was one of the things that bonded myself with my dad. But another thing that bothers me about older live albums is that they cut out the in between of songs. Makes you wonder if they are also doing arrangement swaps so the songs aren’t in that order or different takes elsewhere. Anyways.

This album or maybe the other one was one of the first times I realized as a young lad that you could throw some music on and set the right kind of mood for you and young lady so cool. Other than that amazing three albums amazing band would love to see them live on the musical bucket list of concerts.

Nick Cave to me has always been one of those guys that even though I haven’t really ever listened to him I just know that it’s awesome and this album was no different than those thoughts the composition and background vocals and good album all from front to back.

Not really my jam, but I get the appeal for the era.

Quite the banger

OK listen. I didn’t listen to the whole thing though.

I never really got on the mortuary/smiths band wagon. But it’s not terrible. Nice after work drive home album.

Crazy the life and times of Michael Jackson.

No notes.

Trash, with a side of garbage.

Never was a huge fan, but I like them enough to respect it

Not great

This album is kind of a mess. Chuck D is such a good emcee that it’s a bummer that some of the songs are just jumbled

I’ve been a fan of hers for a long time, but have never really listened to any albums. This one makes me think that Beyoncé ripped half of lemonade from this album.

Not really my vibe. Not a dance hall guy

Again, not my immediate taste, but this one had more positivity in it than the SAULT album.

Good vibes. What a time to be a music lover in the 70’s.

This was kind of an anthem in my younger days, and it’s crazy that he’s a scientist.

Not my favorite by Stevie, but still had some good songs.

Wasn’t the best, but it was a regular Neil Young album.

Not my jam, poppy but meh.

Pretty cool, never really listened before but have heard of ministry for years. A little too much prog stuff for me but cool nonetheless.

Pretty sweet. It was Good Friday vibes

I didn’t like it, but I let it happen to me.

Didn’t listen to all of it, but it was ok

I’m learning that I like REM more than I thought or knew.

Other than immigrant song this album is a snoozer.

Weird like Tom waits. I’ll have to try and finish it later.

Not very interesting

Not my favorite, but if it was on in the background I probably wouldn’t notice.

Not the best country album, he seems a little confused.

It’s The Beach Boys

Probably my pick for one of the better albums.

I like Neil young and I like jam bands, but I don’t think a Neil young jam band fits my need to listen to list.

When this album came out I was having my mind blown by it. They were in heavy rotation for the next couple years.

Maybe I’m not in the right mood, but I don’t really like it.

Nice and easy, but if I had her in a mix of other women artists of the release time I wouldn’t be able to pick her out.

Background music, not my first choice.

Pretty lively and fun. Nothing beats a good horn section

Fine but not my choice to be in a rotation for me.

I remember brimful of Asha on the tv and radio, but as far as the rest of the album, I can listen to it once and be ok.

Not my favorite, weird to read and hear that this was someone’s “masterpiece”

Classic.solid that still stands strong today. I’d love to go back to my younger self and ask why I didn’t like this when I was a kid.

Don’t really care for money, but this album is ok

Pretty much a banger. I bet when this hit the streets it was chaos.

Talk about getting hard and taking a ride, this album just like 1984 rips and keeps on rippin

Arcade fire always a band on my fringe, never think about them till I hear them and I enjoy the listen every time.

Good Friday listen, only every really heard this in background.

I don’t remember much from this album when it came out other than song two, but not the best. I like the Gorillaz more now.

Don’t really know how I feel about this album. I feel like I had an earlier album of his or a different one earlier in the mix that I liked, but this one is just really 50-50 for me.

Classic, again wasn’t really into them when they were out was only 2 when this hit. But I appreciate what they were doing and have done.

This album was better than the last MSP one that came through the rotation. I still find it weird that reviews call these masterpieces and other highly praised words. I don’t hear it.

Pretty slick, ZZ Top is super cool

I don’t get why Bruce is so celebrated. Mostly sounds like mush mouth drunk karaoke.

Discount Stevie nicks

Not a bad song by her. A shame she died

Good relaxing or homework music, I bet she blew a lot of people’s minds when she came on the scene

Wow. Nirvana

Not my favorite thing from buddy

Didn’t get much of it listened to but I can hear some things I Ike. Can hear some other bands possibly taking influence from this group

This was ok but then would be not sure if it was produced bad, or what. But I think I might just not like Elvis.

I say no bueno.

Hell yeah. Give me mariachi on a Friday any day of the week.

The foo is coo

It’s crazy there was only one single on this album and he had such a reach. Lots of good production on this one, good vocal layerings to get 3 tones of his voice

Odd, but I kind of liked it, but also didn’t.

This one was a little stressful to listen to while driving, but good bits

Classic

It’s ok. I don’t need to listen to it, but I can tolerate it because I know what the Sex Pistols mean to that time and genre

Interesting choice. Had some good things inside, the opening song was sampled in an album that I was really into a few years back. It’s interesting to listen to some of this obscure stuff and hear samples

Banger in high school, banger still today.

First Elton John album I’ve listened all the way through. Heard plenty of songs and live stuff, but never needed to listen to a whole thing

Classic. Been in rotation for 20 years

Not the best thing I heard that day.

Ok album, didn’t get me too excited, but didn’t put me to sleep.

Pretty tight. M.I.A. And daft punk should make an album

Good blues.

Funny, but boring. Crazy that people would probably think some of the content in these songs were controversial in 56’

Pretty good album. I like that it was about a robot.

Kiss is such a weird idea to me and it’s crazy that at the time they were considered heavy I suppose or just I don’t know a lot of it’s very anti-climactic and Peter Chris drums are in my opinion pretty weak to match the guitars, but I don’t know

Great album every time you listen to it it makes you get inside your own feelings think about life

Crazy that this album had four major major hits on it and I didn’t know that any of them were by this band except for the let the Goodtimes roll.

Nothing like some sweet smooth jazz.

Boring. I get why they were cool then.

Interesting listen. Lots of different sounds. Good background music

Always been a band I half like. Some of it’s cool and some really not.

It’s ok. Never really been a huge fan of U2, just a band that continues on that we have to listen to.

Not feeling it. I know they were a hit when it came out, but it does r have enough octane for me.

Hella sick. Again with these old funk and jazz and other albums it’s very cool to hear and see where other artists get samples or inspirations from.

You can keep megadeath, I don’t need it.

Not really doing much for me. Just noisy.

Classic

Hella good. It’s crazy where he came from to what he is now.

Couldn’t listen to it.

This was interesting. Lots of naughty words, but funny now. Trying to figure out who the core audience would be.

Gave me good feelings on my lunch break.

I don’t think I like Bruce. Everything sounds similar

I like rem, I didn’t when I was younger. But I didn’t know anything then.

Interesting

Interesting. First song started a little rough, and a few other wild references. But that was the 60’s.

I didn’t listen because I don’t care for the yeah yeah yeahs, but sometimes one of their slower songs makes me think “who is this?” Then I remember and I say Booooo!

Hella good. Nice wind down drive album on frida

Pretty cool, again didn’t appreciate bands when they were new and upcoming.

I think I could probably erase U2 from my brain, and my life wouldn’t change at all.

I liked it, had a nice background music vibe good originals that probably turned into samples. Maybe I don’t know but oh good listen

I didn’t get the whole thing listened before today but interesting.

No my favorite white stripes, but still decent.

No notes

I didn’t know about this artist, and my life has changed absolute zero.

Meh

Classic, a stepping stone into my hip-hop listening.

Pretty fun. Nice and funky for a friday

Pretty fun. I remember watching the movie a few times when I was younger

Nice lil album

That was a pretty good album. Lots of different but similar sounds. The rap song was pretty cool

I like the singles. But the whole album in the background sounds like a continua repetitive song

Pretty sick album, lots of singles and bangers on this thing

This was not great.

Heard it enough then. Pass

Fun album.

Not really my jam, that was all pretty terrible.

Annoying

Perfection

Not my favorite, but still a great album.

Fun. I can see why people like Willy

I can see the potential in it being a semi groundbreaking band. Better than some of the others from that era.

Nice classic country

Didn’t get the whole thing listen to, but I could tell there’s probably some good stuff in there

Not great

No notes

Didn’t hate it, but don’t need to listen to it again

Seems cool. Not all great

Not for me

Pretty nice mellow listen on Christmas eve

Had good grooves and nice flow.

Pass

Didn’t get all of it listened to, but it’s ZZ Top. What more do you need to know?

Nice album for a foggy drive to work

Pretty cool. Jaco was a sick bassist. Have heard some other songs from them over the years

Didn’t start off great, but it grew on me by the time I got almost through it so, meh. Probably don’t need to hear the rest of the discography.

Not my favorite, he has some interesting ranges on this album, but to me personally nothing that stands out as saying this is Neil young

Very good

I have always had a weird take on Public Enemy. I really enjoyed Chuck D’s lyrics and message, but can’t stand flava flav. I also feel like if we were to remix a lot of Public Enemy with new beats I feel it would be way better, but that’s just one white guy’s opinion

Terrible

No notes

Awful

Great album. Rip to a legend

Not my favorite, but it grew on me as the album progressed

Terrible

One of the best albums, and intro/first song combo ever.

Ok, but not my first or second choice.

The beatles

Classic

Pretty sick. Wu-tang forever

I feel like they are a band that your “supposed to “like but it didn’t do anything for me.

I’m in a 80/20 split with not liking the beastie boys. You decide

Pretty sweet way to start my Monday. One of the better worldwide selections I’ve received.

Some nice slow jams for the afternoon

Never heard this one. It got better as it went through. Good van music waiting for work

Not my jam, but okay in the background in specific mental situations.

Good vibe background

Classic

Pretty cool. Gave me Good Friday vibes

Classic. Although not my favorite OutKast still a generational album

Good

What more does anyone need?

Cool, bust wasn’t in the mindset to be seduced.
