1001 Albums Summary

Good

Wish I was there

Didn’t finish, it was good but eventually it just became Metallica which got old

Doesn’t add anything to the who cannon imo

Classic

Some good songs, some bad ones

Kinda good vibes but not really my jam. Wish it was more jazzy and free form as opposed to the short bops

Dnf

Classic

Honestly some very cool production on this. Would probably be more likely to bump the instrumentals than with LL, no offense big dog.

Some reallly good tracks, a little filler. Not perfect but iconic for sure

Really good

Not bad but not my fav, probably deserves more listens and time

This is hard to rate. On the one hand, this has some incredible highs. Her song writing and singing ability is insane and is super talented obviously, could be a 5. I also do think that some of it can feel a little dated and 80s especially the production of it. I’ll go with a 4

Good album with some good songs, but this band is too iconic to age well if that makes sense. Still some good ones but not rotation stuff. 3

Dare I say a 5? I grew up with Someday from mlb2k8, the other famous song is of course famous, but the rest was pretty new. While it all had a similar tone, it was varied enough to not bore me and make me wanna listen more. This may be in rotation

If I ever wanted to listen to something like this I would put this on, but not really rotation stuff at this point in my life. I’ll give it a 3 out of respect

Meh, maybe it needs another listen tho

Obviously not shit I would play a lot, but this is the prototype for the VU, which is the prototype for everything after it, you can’t deny the importance. 3 for respect.

This is why we do this. So good. 5

Classic!!! 5 for sure.

Not typically my genre but I like it. Would listen more if it was on Spotify. Cool to hear young Pat smear, 3 for respect. Actually 4 it’s fire

Hot take…. I don’t love every song on this! Sorry hang on to yourself! Still a 5 tho the highs are too high and just a classic.

Before I even start…..I see a “they won’t go when I go” cover……GEORGE……tread lightly my friend……this could be bad. lmao this cover is shameful. If this was the original version i would be amazed, but dude is role playing as steveland and hes not as good. Ok... honestly, it wasn't all that bad. Its not my genre really, but there were good songs on it. If it was the only cd in the car I wouldn't be that upset. Its interesting getting this right after U2. This probably had more fun up beat hits like Freedom, but I think if I was alive back then I would for sure buy the U2 album before this one. Ill give this one a 2 because I cant give everything a 3, but this is a loving 2, it is competing aagainst the best after all.

It’s aight, but i just don’t love 80s metal like that. If I wanted something prog there are things that do it better, if I wanted something really hard, i much preferred the germs record I just got a couple days ago. 2 since we can’t be Mr nice guy

Obvious 5 duhhhh. Could go on an on about my number 1 album of all time on Spotify but wont

Changes is so good That kinda shows where my music taste is at rn. Still better than AC/DC I think Actually way better Insanely solid 3 here

You can hear the dead influences but as a dead hater I like how they incorporate it. Honestly probably a 4? Really good

So great to listen to in full, the way he interacts with the crowd is great. I don’t think any song particularly will stick with me too much, but great album in totality. 3

Really good 3, way better than I thought it would be. Can see this becoming a 4.

Excited to listen to this… The album cover didn’t disappoint. Played this shit back twice. 4 but could be a future 5 well see

Hard for me to view objectively. If I had never heard of abba I would probably really like this, but I feel like I don’t need any more abba songs in my life Ok I was hating there are some good songs on this. This is kinda cool that abba made less poppy music, I don’t know if that’s their best arena tho. Respect tho, and per my rating system anything above a 1 is respect, so this gets a 2

I think our first 1 is on the way…… I don’t take this lightly: I don’t like the offspring. This is the first album I truly dislike, if this cd was in a car I’d rather listen to the Dua Lipa on the radio or whatever…. Sorry boys :( Like there are some fine songs whatever but we desperately need casablancas to save us from this mid/greenday music 😭

Let’s just listen to Metal Machine Music my guy….

After the last two albums this is like the abbey road medley. This may be the ideal 3. It has some amazing classics, and some decent songs.

I truly don’t think this is the best ray has to offer us. He role played as Sinatra. Honestly, he’s an incredible crooner, his voice is amazing, that’s why this is a 2, but I feel like I expected something more. Hopefully we get another ray album.

I think I’ve listened, I’m excited. Ehh slightly dissapointed. I know and like a bunch of the songs, but I don’t think this album was some crazy experience. Could be a 4 maybe if I was in the right mood, I’m calling it a 3

Never heard of this band… Was gonna say this had a Roxy music influence vibe and I see they met at a roxy music concert lol This is so good I find it hard to believe I haven’t heard of these cats. Either a 4 or a 5 second listen will tell. Amazing either way Literally on the border but we’re gonna say 4 cuz of Hong Kong Garden

How can I not compare this to susie and the banshees that I just got? I think these bands and albums are similar. They are trying to be punk rock, of course one was a pioneer of the genre, and one comes 10 years later. This may just be my mood at this point in my life, but susies vocals are just so seductive and intriguing, these dudes are just whiny and annoying to me. I honestly just can’t stand this whiny, high pitched singing that these 90s bands were obsessed with!!! Please, cobain come and save rock!!! I hate rating an album poorly because I simply hate the singing, but if we swap out the vocal track on every song, this could conceivably rate highly. Sadly, I just don’t want to listen to this. 1 :( I like three days Then she did… is kinda beatly but with their own spin? Is side 2 way better??? Damn I guess I was a hater? Upon a relisten I like it more. This is not a 1. In no way. Either a 2 or a 3.

This is not a genre I go to much, but unlike some of the other genres I hate on, this one actually sounds good. I will just rarely pop on Home is where the music is. If I wanted jazz trumpet for sure, but I never really crave that. 3 out of respect

Liking this so far. This is quality. Idk if I’d call it super influential or worth of being in the list, but it doesn’t make me wanna rip my ears out like offspring, it makes me wanna run this back. If this was in the cd deck I wouldn’t be upset. I see people saying this isn’t anything new in the “Washington sound” but I’m not super familiar with that aside from like nirvana and Pearl Jam (?) but fwiw I like this lol. Maybe just an indication I should check out this style more. Either a 3 or 4. I’ll prolly look back and regret this but this is a 4, I like it!

I love sly. A pretty easy 4.

High expectations for some reason Meh honestly probably deserves a 2 but I want to give it a 3. It’s good but just kinda just exactly 70s classic rock, which I like but this stuff is no revelation. I don’t know how much I’ll come back to other than Surrender surender

This is pretty fire ngl Amazing. Either 4 or a 5 pretty easily Fuck it 5. We may be due for a recalibration due to some high scores recently but this is better than the 4s I just got. Of course a lot of these songs are overplayed to an insane degree, but if we’re objective it’s because they are great. When 3 birds is probably the worst song u know you cooked

10cc goats HOLY FUCK DILAAAAAAAAAA SAMPLEEEEEEE IN THE WILDDDDD WOWOWOWIWOWOW I want to give this a 3 to recalibrate the ratings but this wants to be a 4.... What can we compare this to? Roxy music? Cheap Trick? The Cheap Trick one is easy, this clears. This seems to go further than the roxy record, not sure which I prefer.... roxy with a twist of gentle giant? Ehh I just relistened to the Elvis costello and I liked it more lol so I guess this is a 3

Should be good How the ever living fuck is this on the list but eat a peach isn’t? Listened to both today, eat a peach is a master piece and I might consider giving it a five, this is also cool but for some reason I’ve always found it hard to really get into any legendary live albums, I like the refined sound of a a studio more I guess. This is good jam music, probably better than the dead, but I don’t find this stuff super weighty. It’s fucking great but I still think it’s a 3 based on the criterion I’m still developing. Sorry Duane :(

Yay classic for me on a big day in my life Honestly for the sake of my ratings, this is an auto 5. It’s been a big part of my life already, I can’t be objective. This might be a crazy take but this isn’t the best Who. I think Timmy and wudrophenia are better? I’ll give this a 4 😱 Behind blue eyes is the best song on this album and is goated also btw This is comfortably my 4th most listened to who album which makes me feel better about this rating

I feel like this and who’s next are right there together. 4? Who will stop the rain best song

I can see why someone wouldn’t like this and am not at all surprised by the poor ratings, but I really like this. 4 nah 3 I like it tho

Interested to see what ibthink I’m in a weird spot where screaming trees made me want to listen to more stuff like this but I’m not sure how much I actually love this. It’s kinda cool ngl but i might need time with this guy

“Kerouac is wack but I’m down with Dostoyevsky” was gonna Give this a 2 b ur that like earned a 3 lmao

Love frank but don’t really know this record I like it but I like other Zappa more. Solid 3

Good lo fi stufy music? I don’t like as much as nujabees or dilla I think The possibly maybe sample is annoying, worse than the actual song. Tbh this isn’t rly my thing. Actually this is good I think I like people who were influenced by it more

Very different from what I think of Curtis typically but these are some really good songs I love this.4 this could probably pass as a 5 but I’m gonna say 4

In the cross section of music that sounds so 80s but is also good If I ever throw a 80s party I have some good songs for it.

I’ve always been a tounge in cheek Aueen hater, but this album didn’t do much to change that. The 2 famous songs are great, BH might be one of the best songs ever, but I don’t really love the rest of it, which is a common theme for a lot of Queen I’ve found. Controversial 2

Of all the super guitar heavy 70s bands we’ve gotten I rate this among the best

😱

Lol Why are so many of the reviews so brain dead? It’s early beatles

Pop punk? I like it. Buddy holly meets punk

Omg! 2 Beatles in like 5 days?! Hard to rate, could be a 5 but there are better Beatles albums.

Is this a ducking Elbow redux? Better but similar

Meh

I hope this makes me not think queen is mid Genesis clears Better than the other queen tho

This was honestly good as fuck.

This is such a great album. Every bit on the level Of Bowie and the like. Ok that’s maybe too far but this is great

London calling

So good, what a shame it’s not on spotify

Gotta give this a 5. I’m a little concerned that I’m only giving 5 mostly to classics I already know but whatever

Don’t know how to rate since it’s not a five but it stacks up with rubber soul…..? 4

Very good. 4

Not bad

Took me forever to actually get to it but I enjoyed this

So good

I LEFT MY WALLET IN EL SEGUNDOOOOO

Big M.

“They incorporate the film scores of John carpenter “ IM FUCKIGN READY FOR THIS SHIT LETS GO

Stevie wonder sample!

Goat

Album cover has me leaning towards a 1 already!

5

Hilarious because there is one good song and it’s by the guy who died right after this album came out

Wasn’t obsessed with these songs when they came out but I did like them more than other pop stuff. Better than whoever the current version of Adele is

I feel like timbo didn’t bring it…idk Best song pussycat?

This record is so long and unwieldy that’s I’ve never been able to sink into it as much as some other zeppelin, so I’m glad I got this chance to really sit with this. It really is flawless and while it doesn’t have quite the same peaks as other zeppelin (at least to me in this moment) it’s an amazing listen. 5

This 5 is for Johnny marr I promise!!

Morrissey and van back to back! Separating the art from the artists this week. This has gotta be a 5 cmon

A handful of duds in here and could probably be just an hour, but so much quality. 4 or 5….. Sadly it’s a 4 but it’s great

cool but tom just got better

“All my favorite singers couldn’t sing” lol. For real tho this is good but I feel like once I get used to the guys voice more I’ll think it’s great, if I decide to keep listening

Never heard of these guys (have heard their big song on Spotify) but this was really good

Mother fucker why aren’t you playing piano?

Good

Not even a huge stones fan but this is great

Get off the horse boys

I mean it’s damn solid. I feel bad rating it higher than I did his live albums, don’t remember what I gave it. Hard to hate on this even tho it’s super Rubin-ified

I like it more than the soft cell and I think I have that a 3 so…4

Enjoyed this a lot. Could be a five but every song is pretty similar? I feel like I’m later albums they do more interesting stuff

The second best thing Wyclef has made, behind his line in we are the world 2

This is the crazy thing about music. I didn’t like the first Iron Maiden album I got, couldn’t get thru this one at first, but now that I’m coming back to it weeks after I was supposed to listen, I actually really enjoyed this. Whoda thunk?

could be a 5 in future probably needs more listens sorry buddy

Another good album that if I had listened to a bunch I may have given a 5 (prolly not tho)

Didn’t really stand out to me, but not bad

Fuck it

great voice, good songs, nothing too special but good

Solid, still not a Metallica head

Over when the pawn?

1979 is primo. Seems like a lot of the songs are pretty similar and fall into a couple camps even tho those camps are different. This could be shorted and be a 5 probably, but I’d say it’s a 4

Pretty solid, idk if I’m a huge flea fan tbh

This could have been a 5 until the Gospel lol

5 under my new and improved paradigm

kinda cool

If you don’t like this, seek help

Cardinal sin: never do a Marvin Gaye interpolation. Similar to the Adele but probably better so I say 4. Don’t rly think it’s a top 10 all time album @apple While I think this sounds good, the failed Marvin/hitsville interpolation demonstrates some of my issues with this record. Did this song sound better than the original? No. Did it do anything to push the boundaries of this kind of music in anyway? I don’t think so. It’s good for an early 2000s pop record, but if we actually want to put it up against some classic mowtown and soul music this falls short. Perhaps I need to listen to this when I’m sadder or get broken up with, but after listening I put on some Marvin Gaye, and it’s significantly better. I guess I’m just arguing against apple and some rediculous straw man , but whatever

Nice try Franklin

If you can’t enjoy pyt cuz it has the word young in it I feel so sorry for you

Why is he looking at me like that? Feel like the Neptunes cooked but jt is so annoying, rough listen, rock your body an undeniable banger tho.

This wasn’t worth breaking up the Beatles over, kinda mid:(

Kinda middy. I’d put it on if it was the only cd in the car but it’s too 2010s rock for my taste

More interesting than good. Why listen when jimi exists?

Never been a huge Bruce guy but 4 out of respect

Cmon

oh no. It’s morrissey, so of course it’s a mix of being fucking dumb but also being great. Oh moz, take this 3

I think I’ll never be a rhcp guy but this seems like as good as they could get

I hate to say it but….trash?

Meh

I was pleasantly surprised by the first ZZ Top album I got, this one is what I was expecting lol

Alrighty

Some cool punkish stuff, this list has a lot of stuff just like this tho lol

Was expecting not to like this but it’s bangin

I don’t think the full album is on Spotify so I’m sorry that I didn’t seek out all of it. Kinda cool, I liked when our house came on because I didn’t know it was these guys, the rest a kinda Todd rundgren fun house? Not bad I’d say

Low expectations but this was so good

I don’t think I’ll wear this one out, but it’s really good and unique and a work of art

I think these guys might be the robots… Good, influential, idk if I’d come back to it a ton but it’s good

Ba ba booey 👀

This has some other worldly, devastatingly hard bangers, but some meh songs. Feels like 4 is a good fit

Not bad, not rly my scene tho

This is good rip kurt :(

I used to love this woman in elementary school lol. I was proud of myself for how fast I recognized the prince cover

This has a Tom waits song on it so I thought I’d take this as a chance to apologize for giving bone machine a 4, but I’ll save that for one of his own. Is this really bad… Honestly I need to give out more 1s sooooooo

Right on that 3-4 border

I’d like to think if I was alive in the late 80s I’d be listening to better stuff than this

Decent i guess I won’t hate. Probably won’t ever listen again no disprespect

I lov common but if were honest this is probably a 4. Be is gonna be a 5 tho. And ya the homophobia in this is sickening and ruins a few songs :(

This would have been a 5 if it wasn’t for all the foul language!

This was 35 years in the making you better give it a 5

Peak steveland?

I liked it

I want to hate this with all my heart but it’s actually good :(

Ehh

no hate but this was one of them where a song came up that stood out, and then I see it was the spotify auto play after it ended. solid but we'll go 3

Good but I’m not gonna pretend I loved it

It could be a five I think it just needs a few more listens

Good but kinda dated, I feel like a dick saying that

Nickel

Kinda good

I love this album

Physically couldn’t listen to this whole thing, I’m sorry

Pretty fire

Idk if I’m the biggest byrds guy I HATE to say

Think my dad likes this but I feel like bro could have cut this down so much

Good songs but something about the production feels off, the 70s vibe of it. For some reason I feel like blues is better the older and uglier it sounds, this is a little too Nashville Broadway street for me idk, maybe I’m a clown

Unlistenable but also good hahaha

Modern classic

Kinda a vibe

Fuck yeah

Kinda cool

really good, could be a 5 but Fiona better so we'll go 4, even though that's an awful way of doing these rankings

Too many groups doing otis Redding covers! You’re not as good as him!!

Kinda cool, 3.5

Didn’t hit insanely hard but I know for a fact if I keep listening it will

Good vibes, I don’t have the most discerning jazz ear

Good

Used to rly like this, proabbaly worse than Layla

Hair vibes, some cool songs

Solid kinda fun

Good

Nickle

5 for surfs up and til I die, student demonstration time is so bad it gives this a 4

This reminds me too much of REDACTED. Still great

No hate but why on list?

I feel like a bad person

Kinda a vibe

These boys are the 🐐s for real

This is maybe shameful but I don’t think I listened to enough Bruce growing up to really like this a lot. I’m sorry E

I think I like it more than the other SP album

Good

Poetic af. Nick drake better tho

Good shit

I appreciate the impact, didn’t do too much for me

Good maybe I’ll like more on relistenes

Honestly I like can but didn’t love this, maybe cuz I listened after tubular bells which is similar but way better

Kinda joy division coded. I liked this but I’m still giving it a 3

Lowkey 1 good song

Bad

Groovy

Phil Spector is incredible

The kuti family is pretty talented

Imagine how good stranger things would be if that girls favorite song was cloudbusting

Solid white boy 60s rock. Not the best who tho, and I don’t even like them like I used to

As an irrational Bruce non-enjoyer who put this off for a while it was actually good

Good

This over angel dust? Ok I love Mike Patton, am not the biggest FNM guy, and this isn’t their best album. I’ll give it a 3 to be nice to Mike

I feel legally obligated to throw this a 5

Mid?

I remember regretting giving zombie a 5 since it was early, so im gonna give this a 4 to kinda balance it out, but they are both great records and I'd come back to this. I think the long jams aren't usually what i'd listen to but when i'm in the mood for something like this ill be back

Very cool, kinda like a country portishead

Worse public enemy?

obviously solid. I used to feel like I was just being cranky by thinking this, but now I think it's just not my style, but Frank doesn't really have a great singing voice...

AC/DC has 1 song

A couple duds brut really good

Obviously am not gonna say anything bad but this isn’t as good as tropicalia / Clube de esquina.

Only a murderer could get me into the Christmas spirit like this

Pretty good

I like it but i stg sting can write the worst lyrics sometimes

Probably not my number 1 Joni but still great

I feel like I used to rly like the cars, but aside from a couple songs I rly liked this didn’t do alllll too much for me

Better than expected

All timer

Didn’t realize these cats had a feaux Jamaican thing going

The other Adele was better

Quality

Pretty good
