1001 Albums Summary

I recognized "my skydiving song" and I like that one for sentimental reasons (In the End), but the rest of it was not my favorite style. I kept wondering why this album was on the list. However, much of it reminded me of Jordan and her need to "cry out" so I don't know if I was impacted by the sadness for Jordan or just the awareness that without Jesus, this kind of anger and frustration and crying out won't have any solutions. That makes me a bit sad. I probably shouldn't have started my morning with this one.

Yes. I listened to this whole thing. Well, okay… at least the first 45 seconds of every track. So I can confidently say that I tried, but this just wasn't for me.

Pretty similar from one to the next but fine overall. I won't seek this one out again though.

Expected I'd like this better than I did. Every Ghetto, Every City was the track I enjoyed the most if I picked one.

Fine for what it was but it didn't "move me" like I imagine it did others at the time of its release.

This one challenged me in all the good ways. The lyrics had me mesmerized.

Aaah. I’m 15 again and watching all the cool kids go to the cool parties…

No Woman No Cry was my fav.

Not my favorite of hers, but not bad.

Hit me at the wrong time/mood I think.

Liked this one more than I expected to, especially after reading that it was based on a rock opera Peter Pan concept.

Not for me.

Unremarkable

Now we're talking! A couple of favorites here!

Made my spirit sad.

Nope.

No surprises with Willie Nelson; pretty much what I expected.

Brining back the memories!

I think I was an Elvis movie fan, not a music fan...

…um….??

Don't get it.

Familiar, fine, but forgettable for me.

Different, but in a good way!

Feels very 80’s for sure.

Don’t think I’d ever listened all the way through this album. There were only two I didn’t know.

I’m just not a Bob Dylan fan but I understand his impact.

Pass

Meh

One or two of these caught my attention but mostly not my style.

Not my favorite decade but not horrible.

Had to disassociate this one from its source of fame, but it was better than I expected.

I liked parts of this one, sort of.

So... I just didn't like or maybe "believe" his voice. In almost every song, it felt like he was imitating someone else's voice and not well. Weird?

I kept forgetting it was on in the background while I did other things… Conflicted on a 2 vs 3 but since I tuned a lot of it out…

Mellow vibes

I didn't like the lead vocal's voice, and the lyrics didn't match what I think they were attempting to do with their "vibe" as a band.

Hadn’t heard all of these before, but I’ve always been fascinated by Tyler’s ability to place a perfectly timed, emotion-packed scream at just the right moment and then transition to a satisfying rhythm so seamlessly!

Background introspection vibes

The album, the concert, the poster, the crush… I had it ALL! Who wouldn’t love an amazing guitarist with the gifts of story-telling musical dynamics, lyric writing, the entertainment factor, and a killer smile?

Not what I expected…probably a good thing.

Like all my other 3’s, it was fine but I won’t listen to this one again.

I just can’t separate the music from the man and his life here. I grew up with Jackson 5 and the rise of Michael Jackson. He was talented, yes, and he shaped or captured the essence of an era with this one, but I think of the totality of his music, the places he could have gone, and I’m just saddened for him and repulsed all at once. I generally skip his music when given a choice…

This felt more like I was screening movie soundtrack montages than music. Not for me.

I gave up early on.

One of my first albums. Had it on repeat because this, to quote someone else, “fed my teenage angsty soul.” This was Billy Joel’s best, before he got pop-y.

I almost liked 1 or 2 of these, almost. I’d give it a 2.5 if I could.

I forgot I was listening to this one. Totally invisible in the background for me.

I’ve always loved her voice especially when she skews blues over country. She does go a bit more country more often though.

I applaud the concept of this one, but I’m not sure I would have caught on had I not read the background.

This one was depressing...

I liked some more than others, thus the 3.
