The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Tango music as one of the 1001 albums to hear in your lifetime? I do not agree.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

While I recognize the impact of the arrival of Tom Petty, I just can't stand his voice.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Dec 12 2023

not a huge fan of the spare 'guitar and drums only' sound

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 14 2023

i'm not an edm fan, per se, but it was an enjoyable example of that genre

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 15 2023

I only know of the Beastie Boys from their hits, but I loved the clear influences of funk and jazz on this album.

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 18 2023

not a huge punk fan

90 by 808 State
Jan 05 2024
Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jan 11 2024

Never heard the album before, but had heard many of the songs and I can tell the waves of influence it had over many artists. But after about half a dozen songs, they all started sounding the same.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 15 2024

not my thing

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

A decent album, but one of the 1000 best of all time? Don't think so.

Kenya by Machito

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Feb 02 2024

Tango music as one of the 1001 albums to hear in your lifetime? I do not agree.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 21 2024

not sure how that could be considered one of the top 1000 albums

Destroyer by KISS
Mar 29 2024

kiss is crappy rock

It sounded like it was all the same very-long song
