1001 Albums Summary

One good song

3 Good songs, Mr. Brightside being a big one of course.

Not my thing at all ... I hated it

I have heard of her but never heard her music, very jazzy and I honestly liked it.

John Coltrane is a king in the Jazz community and I know of this album's fame, but it is just not my thing.

Never heard of them, but I liked the album. A nice surprise this morning,

Ooooohhh .. We gettin' Funky today!

Classic Southern Rock Album with Super Long Tracks and jam sessions

Very EDM-ish, not my style

Groovy. I had never heard of them, not had my 72 year old Dad, but typical band from that era and I liked there more popular peers better

I am back in the 80s at my Grandparent's house just waking up from my sleep over and having some horribly unhealthy breakfast in a cigarette smoke filled house with this playing on the stereo

Absolute Classic

What the heck was that! No! Just No!

Classic

Absolute Classic

Kinda like if Cranberries and a Baz Luhrmann had a baby

Nope, nope, nope. I need a break from the obscure UK bands

Kentucky Rain is one of my favorite Elvis songs. This is a perfect example of why even 50 years after this album was made, Elvis is still beloved

Hated it ... Can I give less than one star?

Surprised that I liked it. Much more mellow than I expected.

Remember the Magic Kingdom Electrical Parade? No? Play this album and you will

Absolute classic!

Not much into repetitive dance music. I do remember "Around the World" though

I liked it, a very diverse album

It's quirky, but brilliant. A very surprising find

This was THE ALBUM my sixth grade year! So many memories

Surprisingly fun

Classic

It's the genre, not the ablum

Better than expected

Great Album!

The surprises keep coming ... This website is fun

The surprises keep coming ... This website is fun

C'mon ... you know what this is

I know it might be a sin, but I just don't care for Bowie outside a couple of his big hits

Not their best album, but it's still Nirvana

Another surprise

Meh

Okay

One of the greatest albums of all time!

Soothing Piano Jazz that makes me want to ride an elevator

I don't know how I didn't know of this album, but it was great

More Jazz ... So much Jazz

Meh

Okay

Beautiful Voice, Boring Album

As a Millennial, this one hits different. I saw Britney perform this album at Grad Night in 1999

One of the greatest albums of all time

Legend. Not my type of music but a legend none-the-less

More Reverb Please!

There is an awful lot of Bowie on this list

So inapropro

Classic

Another surprise

It's Paul Simon for goodness sakes

It was weird

Meh

Great Album

Meh!

Radiohead - but Jazzy?

Weir and political ... a fitting combination

Meh ...

Okay

I must like Folksy music because I liked this one to0

If Middle School boys got together to create an album, this would be it!

Super Fun!

Made myself get through the first track and I couldn't get any further

Okay

No Bueno

It was okay

I don't know why, but this album feels like summer

Okay

This album is "Alright"

Classic

They really needed the Funk

Classic

Okay, I like Chicago, but this is weird

Ugh

80s Hip Hop is fun!

I am tired of giving out ones, but who the heck is picking these albums!?!

Another Surprise

I love everything about this!!!

Every single song had an E next to it

Meh

There is no bad blood with this album. it has style. So shake off that negativity and I wish you would take that blank space and fill in 5 stars!

I like this Black Sabbath album. It is not nearly as hard as I thought it would be

Better than I thought

Another nice surprise

As a child of the late 80s these songs still dominated the Easy Listening station well into my late childhood. Such a great album and brings back memories of late night rainy drives in the back of the station wagon.

A Classic, but a little bit boring

Just okay

Couldn't make it past the first song

The Queen of Soul. This album is pure gold!

Meh

I Willy liked this one!

Another surprise from the list! Mellow almost country feel.

Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, they all kind of sound the same. It was a time period that had a definitive sound.

It's Queen .. just a little bit more boring than expected.

One of the greatest alums of all time!

They sound like the period they came from

I don’t k ow any merging about KD Lang, but I love this album!

I have heard of them and they are not my style of music, but I kind of agreed with every machine they were raging against.

A new worst ... Congrats!

Good.

I am trying not to give out so many one stars, but I just couldn't get through the album. The sound itself is hard to listen to, while the structure isn't much better.

Okay ... A little disappointed that the horse wasn't heard on the album itself and was just there for the album cover.

Nice background music

It is Folksy, which I normally like, but somehow this seems boring and like it is trying too hard to be something it isn't. The only song I liked was covered by Pentatonix and they did a much better job.

Meh

Not really into EDM

This is one of the defining albums of a generation.

I wanted to like it, honest, but it is just so boring

Smooth, Mellow, and a voice that set a standard.

What in the acid trip did I just listen to?

This is a massive double album with some peaks and valleys along the way. I had never heard of this artist, but it was worth a listen

Great Album. Minus one star for so much saxophone!

Fun and familiar!

No

Classic

Good Stuff

Meh

This doesn't feel at all like 2002. More like the 1970s

Kinda Boring with super long tracks

Love it, Love it, Love it!!

Not my thing

It smells like Teen Spirit

It's not even English!!

I know Bowie is a legend and Starman and Ziggy Stardust are classics, but other than that ... I am just not that into it

Classic!

If you like to hear women screaming ... This is for you

I hope you like jammin' too!

What's That Noise? I don't know ... This album was not on Spotify

Better than I thought

Sorry Miss Jackson, a 3 is the best I can do

A flagship Police Album

Much more folksy than I thought it would be

I don't like it - But I don't dislike it as much as some of the other junk on this list.

This whole style of music is just not my thing,

Half the movie soundtracks are on this one album

Meh

This is the sound of my father's childhood. He would sing these songs often.

I like it more than I thought I would. It had that early 1990s vibe to it

I liked it. That white girl got soul

This album sucks, you know what I mean?

Every Blondie song you know and love all on the same album ... Great for us, probably not so much for her. But one way or another, you are going to like this album.

This is great, and for a "debut" album ... it set the tone for generation to come

A little bit boring

One of my all-time favorite Altos. Karen has such a smooth and sultry voice! These are great songs and a very chill album.

Meh!

ZZ Top is always fun

Classic Bowie

Based in the dumb name and the picture I thought I was going to hate this. But it was a very nice surprise. Rounded up and on the start for not being dumb.

Great album songs plus some of the best of the classic. Such a great album. I really like it! What is that? U2?

It was okay

Fun album

The Beatles second release after a whirlwind first year. This is a major album and one that set the band up for it's meteoric rise. Great Album! Great covers!

If Hippies were hired to play at a Medieval Fair, this is probably the album they would make. Still, not anywhere near the bottom of the list

Boring

Albums like this make me want to quit doing this journey. It's been a rough streak of boring albums

A solid album

That put the fun in funky!

Another surprise.

As someone who doesn't like jazz all that much this is the "main stream" album that everyone can tolerate. Not a lot of improve and all over the place in the most random ways. Structured, Melodic, and fun,

Another Pleasant Surprise ...

One of the Beatles greatest albums .. but they are all good really

Cet album n'est pas bon et il est en français. Pourquoi est-il même sur cette liste ?

Surprisingly enjoyable!

Better than expected. A Fun album

Not really into that style, but not bad

Great Album

Vulgar, Violent, and everything bad about rap in one album.

Not really into Irish type Punk, but this album was fun

A bad combination of both weird and boring

REM is always a fun time! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Solid Album. Classic and Fun!

Okay

A fun album that was part of the shift from punk to heavy metal

The Cure is always a good time

Is this the real life, or is it just fantasy? No, this is just one of the greatest albums of all time. I don't recall ever seeing a song with a billion plays on Spotify, much less 2.5 billion. Wow, just wow!

This was fun!

The Queen of the Southland and one of her most iconic albums.

They made Cardigans cool before Taylor Swift

Another solid album!

The album wasn't even on Spotify, but I found the title track and it ended a long streak of good albums ...

I won't walk 500 miles for this album, but maybe a 5k would do?

Thelonious Monk is one of the legends of Jazz music. I remember playing his music in Jazz band in High School. I hated Jazz Band in High School.

Are the siblings? Are they Exes? Either way, they make great music!

Come On Eileen is one of the greatest songs of all time, due to that the album gets a 3. Without that song ... it's fun, but nothing you can't get at any pub

Good and Chill

It's like listening to the same song over and over again for an hour.

If Blondie and Heart had a baby ... it would be a rush

Thankfully it was only 30 minutes!

Nope, absolutely not. This album personifies not only everything wrong with a genre, but with the culture that supports it.

I didn't understand a word of it, but I felt like I was at some cafe in a clever but quirky movie and possibly wearing a beret.

"Lust for Life" was used in every car commercial in the early 2000s, giving it familiarity. The album was fun, upbeat, and just okay.

A great album. I wore this thing out in High School

I remember them from 1992 ... Haven't thought about them since

Flash back to life, back to reality that this album is a one hit wonder ... a fun one but not enough to save a 2 star rating

More fun than I thought

Another solid and fun album from an artist that I have never heard of

Disgusting, Awful, No, No, No. Can I give negative stars?

It was a little boring

Islamic Devotional Songs? I cannot believe this idol worshiping, pagan farce is on this list. If I had to torture someone for exactly 1.5 hours I would simply play them this album.

It starts off strong and then losing steam in the middle. It has a strong feel of your friend's band from high school. You can't really find anything wrong with it, but you can't really find anything to praise either.

So many great songs on one album. This is CCR's best record. I could play it over and over.

Quintessential 90s Hip Hop ... just made in the 2000s

Heavy use of Synth and Trumpets. Definitely different, but I like different

First of all, It's Joni Mitchell. But, then it's also Joni Mitchell

Sounds like someone doing karaoke to The Doors.

Fun and a little bit gritty of a sound. Good Southern Rock feel. Heck Yeah!

It is both electric and boogey oogey oogey!

This is rock music but it has elements of rhythm & blues, jazz, soul, Latin, and a little funk sprinkled in as well. I just might be a Steely Fan!

I was in a bit of a mood and I didn't hate this.

I just don't get the love for Bob Dylan. The dude can't sing ... he just talks thymically. With that said, this is a classic album and there are well written songs on it and for that he gets a 3

Not sure if I was just in the right mood, but I actually enjoyed this album

I mean ... C'mon, it's Stevie Wonder! None of my "favorites" were on this album, so it gets a 3, but it was still enjoyable.

This what my grandparents house sounded like back in the early 80s. There are times I miss this kind of country, simple, fun, and catchy. Buck Owens in a legend and this album gets all the stars

Good Guitar, Rod Stewart singing and yet pretty bland overall. It gets a solid Meh

Today's album is weird. It's like the music in the que while in line for some educational ride at EPCOT

Classic album that outside of "more than a feeling" is a bit meh

Spotify only had 4 of the tracks off this album available, but "but the boys are back in town" and "Still in love with you" classics. Can't give it more than 3 with most of the album missing though.

A Chill Album. Overall okay.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

You know those scenes in the 70s and 80s Disney movies like Robinhood where they are just running around or fighting a slapstick type battle ... This is probably the band that was playing the back ground music. Lucky for them, I love Disney's Robinhood.

This massive album is solid. It is so diverse the bigness isn't a detriment.

This massive album is solid. It is so diverse the bigness isn't a detriment.

If you’re 14 and hate your stepdad, this may be the album for you. The lyrics are meant for angsty teenagers. But I'm neither angsty or a teenager. I will never been listening to this again.

Apparently the dude was in a bad accident right before he made the album and the album is a champion of overcoming struggle and the first platinum album from a paraplegic. But it sounds like an album that was made by a paraplegic. "Sea Song" feels like he was recreating the accident that paralyzed him.

It was okay ...

I am so sorry ... I know this is one of the most iconic albums of all time and I was really excited to listen to it, honest, and I now I am supposed to excitedly give it 5 stars ... But ... best I can do is a 4

Wow! I am literally sitting the office trying not to cry. This album gets 10 stars ...

It's Abba along with Ikea, and the Chef make up some of our favorite friends from Sweden. So to them I So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me!

If Maria Von Trapp was unable to escape to Switzerland and forced to tour with the family and then gave all the kids a different instrument and immediately set out to record an album, this is probably what it would sound like. With that said, it is an important album and East Germany must have really sucked.

I couldn't even get through the first song. Tupac was a horrible human being and this album reflects that.

How are there two of their albums on this list?

Classic album that we all grew up listening to. This album is a solid seven. But don't you ever ask why, if I told you, you would cry. So just look at the score and smile ...

Everything a person hates in one album, a super slow build and it takes 20 seconds to hear anything and I check the volume and output like 5 times before it finally gets going. Then you have a 20 minute song that sounds like you are having a panic attack during the Mainstreet Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom. Lastly, an intentional omittance of the oxford comma. The only think I like about this Album is the super cool cover art. A tank Armadillo? Yes please! Bonus Star as a "Tank you" for that.

It started off pretty bad and then they started singing in French ...

It's a 2 for me not horrible, I listened to the whole thing while focusing on a work project and it made for decent background noise, but it wasn't enough to actually capture my attention.

A Fun album!

This is the score to a movie. Not the Soundtrack, but the score. As a band nerd I appreciate scores and the musicality of creating an experience with the right music, but this isn't exactly a John Williams masterpiece and instead had an entire song of alternating quarter notes. Still not the worst thing I've heard on this list though.

This is a high 3 (perhaps 3 and half) for me. It wasn't boring, it came out the gate swinging, but it also didn't have that song that got you fired up.

This Rock Opera album is a classic. It is a heartbreaking story of Tommy growing up to be a community leader. The story telling, music, and overall package is genius and entertaining.

Another fun album with a good variety of style and music. I am still a Steely Fan!

It's been a long time since I haven't been able to make it through an album, but I am struggling on this one. For some weird reason ... forcing my self to listen to it is actually making me mad. It really does sound like an album someone wrote over a period of time as they slowly descended into madness.

This is one of the greatest live albums off all time. Do you hear a train a comin'? No, that is just the steady tones of Johnny Cash. This album is a piece of America herself!

This is named appropriately because any kind of pleasure from this album is completely unknown. Seriously, why are there so many British Albums on this list? We haven't cared about anything they do since 1776!

I really wanted to not like this album because of Neil young's opinions of the South, but I do like it. So it gets a one star deduction for Antebellum

What the heck just happened? This album is infected with cringey music. Seriously, why are there so many British Albums on this list? We haven't cared about anything they do since 1776!

I really don't want to like Neil and I docked his last album one star for being a jerk, but fair is fair and this deserves 4 stars.

No Thank you!

I swear, somebody who was in an early nineties British Rock Band must have been on the selection committee!! It's not bad, but it all sounds the same!

It's all in Senegalese ... I have no clue what is going on ... But it sounds like Animal Kingdom.

We just cannot seem to get over this English Rock bands can we? Lyla is obviously a great song, but it seems weird to have a compilation album on this list. Still .. I was able to get through the whole thing and it was mildly enjoyable.

It was enjoyable. Some good ole American Punk rock!

Love this. But, man I don't like Neil Young

I can call this album great, fun, and important due to it's cross cultural significance ... and you can call me Al!

This was the album that all the white girls suburban who thought they were hood played in High School. Waterfalls is a great song and creep was playing everywhere .. outside of that it is more nostalgia than actually good. Still, when I saw the cover I was "automatic 5" and it lost a star after actually listening to the whole thing.

This is such a foundational album that inspired so many great artist afterwards. It was way ahead of it's time. I found my thrill listening to this classic.

This album was fun. It was good background music as I was trying to get stuff done at work. It is great to have an album from the Big Band Era represented on this list.

In a nation divided by so many things only one thing can bring us all together … we ALL want the funk.

There just isn't much to it.

This was a fun album that had only the second Billion + played song I've seen so far on Spotify (Thanks Stranger Things), overall a fun album that I was excited to listen to.

A great album filled with absolute monster songs!

A great album by a great band. Every song was familiar and enjoyable.

It was much better than I thought it would be. This is why I like this project, you hear new artist and albums you never knew about.

The great Stevie Wonder with TWO major hits on this album. I enjoyed rocking out to "Superstition", but the other tracks were not nearly up to par with it and "You are the Sunshine.". Still solid album, fun songs, great memories - just get rid of those super repetitive tracks where the girls just repeat what you say over and over.

Another band I had never heard of but overall enjoyed.

I got half way through and couldn't do it anymore.

Another Billion plays song in "Fast Car". A Great voice, great album, and I really enjoyed it.

This was the Summer Playlist while sitting at the beach. A Classic!

I am surprised by this album, I enjoyed it and it is a poster child of the early 90s grunge movement.

It came out of the gate swinging and I was like "Finally! A good British Rock band" ... and then just like every thing else British whether empires or dental care, they just couldn't keep up with it

This is my third Young album (fourth if you count C, S, N, & Y). I get it, the guy makes a good album, this one is no exception, but C'mon ... that's a lot. I wonder if Neil Young is on the selection committee

I had a fever and for all these years I thought the cure was more cowbell. But it turns out this album proved that theory wrong. In this case it was as easy as turning off the 56 minutes of dubstep.

The first 7 tracks were classic Byrds sounding tracks and then it seems like they took eight miles high literally during the break and came back as a psychedelia band. Luckily, I am down for both sounds.

All my life I grew up thinking that buildings didn't have a 13th floor out of superstition, but it turns out they were just trying to avoid this album.

This album is an experience, an adventure. It's jazz, it's mariachi, it's Spanish style guitar, and it's fantastic. I can literally see myself one a journey and each song is another stop on the itinerary. It is so different and exactly the kind of thing I hoped to find!

If you are getting double nickels on the dime then you are breaking even... which is probably what this band is hoping for on this album. But unfortunately this album is boring and all the songs sound the same.

This has the 5th Billion Play (1.7B) with "In Da Club" and "P.I.M.P" at over 800k. I understand it being her birthday and we gonna celebrate because you her pimp, but outside of that I can see why his name is 50 cent, because this album ain't worth half a buck

Little Earthquakes isn't exactly world changing, but it was ground breaking at the time. Not great, but definitely enough to move the scale.

Had never heard of them and immediately wanted to not like them because they were English, but I was pleasantly surprised. Has a chill vibe to it.

What in the Hippie Medieval Fair is goin on here? A Kazoo, a Sitar, and a Digeridoo? I don't know what is happening, I just know I don't like it!

This album was so far ahead of it's time and change the rock world forever. Can you imagine hearing this for the first time in a climate filled with Beatles, Monkees, and Supremes

A fun album and a definite classic!

Disco is not dead so long as it lives in the hearts of men!

Not only is it English, live.... but it also sounds like the Main Street Electrical Parade

You can drive your car for a long time and won't find too many albums better than this in [your] life

Dave Grohl started Fighting Foo like a boss on this album all by himself

Two of Aerosmiths biggest songs were on this album. It was overall fun and the sound that we know and expect.

Tiny Dancer is an amazing song and the album overall is great ... but how can and English man ever write a song attacking the Americans for their treatment of the Indians when they conquered over half the world ... almost lost a star for that one song.

Surprised by this album. It tackled a heavy subject matter (depression) in a light manner. Relaxing and enjoyable album.

and after a solid run we are back to the English Rock bands that all sounds exactly the same. Even the songs on the album all seem to just run together. No more British Rock! No More British Rock!

Yes! A Perfect Album for a rainy day in the office. Smooth, Crip, and you can feel the emptions in the music. It might have caught me on the right day but ... yeah

I think I have reached my breaking point - I can't take it any more. If there is one more "English Alternative" Album on here that all sound like the same boring drivel ... I don't know .. But, ugh ... Why do they keep doing this to me?

Classic Santana. Great guitar player and fun album!

I am definitely not into this beat-nik type thing, but I get it and the influence the movement had. Just a reminder kids, drugs are bad!

Maybe all those stranger things nerds were on to something…

We have our 6th 1 Billion plays (Sparks) and second 2 Billion plays (Yellow) by Coldplay. A formative band for us Millennials that still sets that melancholy mood when we are feeling not quite emo, but pretty darn close.

Dad Rock at it's finest. There are some amazing songs on this album and Peter is one of the most influential guitarist. Still, overall a tad boring ...

I was trying, I honestly was ... and then the dude in the background started chanting, that is where I draw the line!

Only had one track on Spotify ... but that was enough! This was back when rap was fun!

There are great albums ... and then there are a few an experience. This is both!

Another British Album. Not only do they all sound the same but they all seem like they are forever long. Apparently Viva Hate means a defiant or ironic embrace of negativity and the emotions associated with it, particularly grief and loss. I am definitely negatively embracing the lost of 40 minutes on this album.

Better than expected.

Wow ... This Queen album is uhhh ... not Queen-like You still have the tight harmonies and strong lead vocals, and it isn't bad ... it just isn't the Power Rock ballads that we all know and love Like ... I don't feel running outside and punching somebody in the face right now and I don't know how to process that

It really isn't fair to all the other albums out there. Three of Skynyrd's best songs all on one album! I might ask the kids to play Freebird at my funeral! Heck yeah ...

When a sixties rock band makes a better "country western" album than any country band today ...

First four songs are a 5! Rest of Album is a 3! 17 is a 1 - what the heck pedo? That averages out to a 3

Like everything British, the UK version leaves off the Billion play song "Paint It Black" and this is the one that the website defaulted to on Spotify ... lucky for the rating I went and found the American Release ... and that song alone, plus dropping a few of the "meh" songs upgrades this album significantly

"This is the moment Lion-O has been preparing me for my whole life... The ThunderCats have been our friends for as long as we can remember... They have stuck with us through good times and bad, helping make us who we are today... It's time we repaid their friendship. Let this be a day that will be sung about by our people for ages to come!"

This is a band I had never heard of before with a full string section and I am pretty sure I heard a French Horn. I feel like it is a bit of the Cranberries meets Belle and Sebastian but whatever it is ... I like it!

"Wow! This album is really provocative ... I can't believe that little me was allowed to listen to this?!? But, Wham! It really is a fun album."

The Band that I never knew that I knew. Recognized several tracks on this album including a few from them that Spotify decided to play after. Folksy, Relaxing, and surprisingly enjoyable.

The guitar riffs were fun as were the drums ... I really don't want to hurt my 90s decade rating any further ... Ugh!

One of the best uses of a saw outside of a Halloween CD I have ever heard .. with that said "Happy Ending" is super eerie. But overall it was tolerable. As previously stated, I am trying to be kind to the 90s.

You gotta have a ton of respect for Aretha Franklin. This album is a classic.

Play that funky music White Boys!!

I always thought Grateful Dead was a rock band ... This album was a little bit dead

When 1/3 of your album is one song, it better be a good one. Luckily it is!

I am going to take a stand and say I have always like this album and the "sound" of REM.

What's with all the screaming?!? No Bueno

I liked it. An artist I had never heard of but a combination of Sheryl Crow and Linda Ronstadt.

Keep this away from the microwave, because this is pure metal! A masterclass in the genre. I don't know how I grew up in the 80s and had never heard this album.

This album is a single with bonus tracks. But it is one of my favorite songs of all time ... So 5 stars!

What does cheese, lettuce, old legal documents, Helmut Strebl, and this album have in common? Some serious shreds!

"Ay, oh, let's go! Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh! Oy, oy, oy!" This is fun!!

Would have loved to have seen this live. Such energy, such a cutting-edge artist, and so much future work and sound is based off of this. Sadly, I probably would have been given a really hard time and I told I don't belong there.

<Sigh> Three of these things? Really?

Pure Poetic Story Telling with a twang and a steel guitar!

Honestly, this whole album was kinda mid. Nothing bad about it, two songs approaching a billion plays, likeable, but kinda all sounds the same.

This is quintessential 80s. I find it dated, but it is supposed to be.

It's like a three and a half hour Tom Cruse scene where he just takes off and is being chased by various things.

Didn't love any of the songs. Did hate a few, so title is half accurate.

Our 7th Billion Play song with "Under the Bridge". This album was hugely influential and fun.

Probably could have convinced me to give this a three, but they are British ...

This album was fun!

Wow! This album was a journey through the everyday lives of America. Great storytelling

You know that kid that looks down at their feet and mumbles incoherently when they force themselves to speak to you? Now make them the singer for a really good band ...

"Come Together" to kick it off followed by "Something" right out the gate? That alone is already a 5 right there!! But then you get so much more. I wish I could give it higher than a 5.

You know when you get stuck/lost on a video game level and the soundtrack just loops? Yeah… This album was the equivalent of a long drive on the autobahn for someone who doesn’t like driving.

This sounds like a long car ride late a night falling asleep sprawled out in the back of Grandma's car in the 1980s

I love seeing some Reggae songs on this. Always fun and jammin'.

I have never heard of them and that is unfortunate because this was fun and surprisingly deep for a punk album.

Another great album by the boss. Not someone I ever listened to, but I see the appeal. However, four albums is a lot!

I feel like this album was listed for diversity, but maybe all those English Rock bands aren't so bad afterall.

Wow, did that last comment come back to bite me super quick.

Fun!! Band Nerds meet some of the biggest hits of all time with an extra heapin' helpin' of Bongo on every track. I love it!

This a big album but it is just okay.

What the heck is this? Tom should have waited a little longer!

This was a roller coaster. I hated it and almost stopped listening out the gate and then by Chicken Dog I was at a 3, then it fell back off. Half the songs sounds like someone is getting tortured back stage.

I am a big fan of Emo Rock, but in the end, it doesn't really matter

Other 9th Billion play song in "Dancing Queen. This is a classic and these songs play regularly in my house.

A big Band Album! With one that inspired some of the best ska songs later? Yes please!

It was okay

"And the colored girls say Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo [you think this album is kinda bad]?"

This is great! I am not the biggest fan of the blues, but I am fan of this.

You Gotta Fight For Your Right To a 5 ... and they did just that

We want the funk ... but despite the name this didn't deliver. It was much more of a rock album which still can get you in the groove. But, we wanted the funk

The Lamb was lying down because he feel asleep ...

There is absolutely no grey area on this one .. it is straight up nope!

I don't fee this is their best album, but it is still fun!

It was okay. It definitely doesn't match the hype

Mmmmm .. Chicken

Classic.

Enough with the British Rock Bands!! Seriously guys, knock it off. They were just meh

Enough with the British Rock Bands!! Seriously guys, knock it off. They were just meh

This is what the eighties sounds like. A Classic Album and a fun listen,

This is the album for sitting in the rain staring out the window spiral into a fit of depression.

Solid Album with some familiar tracks

Dude is not only Canadian ... but he sings a song in French!

No!

How is there another one?!?

This teen has really boring and somewhat mood dream sequence

I guess I am the idiot for listening to this whole thing ..

I guess this was supposed to the be album that actually killed you on the list of albums to hear before you die?

I honestly wish he was talking to the taxman about poetry rather than in the studio making an album ...

It was good. It just seemed to never end ...

Another obscure British album that is just meh

Forget Iran, we should just bomb the heck out of every recording studio in the UK and end this decades long war on music

This was an enjoyable album, a nice surprise. Who knew there was so much more outside of "Brown Eyed Girl"

In true Bowie fashion there are a couple of fun songs mixed with some rather average stuff. I don't get why he is so popular

A classic album and a fitting tribute to Brian Wilson!

Such an absolute classic.

I'd say they were playing more with wet stick than actual fire ...

It's not horrible, I have had waaay worse .... it is just the same album over and over and over again. Different band names, same country ... No wonder they are all so dull, miserable, and have horrible humor.

Ooooh the mumbling and lines are from the movie that doesn't exist! I couldn't do it. It is the first one in a long time I couldn't finish

There is just something about the soothing sounds and harmonies of S&G. This isn't their best album, but a generational classic none-the-less

I feel like I am driving down some narrow road in a European city by a river falling in love with some quirky and cute well dressed girl that I had only met a few days earlier ...

What is worse than all British rock bands on this list? A white British guy rapping

There were very few holes in this album. This sounds like the late nineties and smells a little bit like teen ... angst?

I like REM, but this one was pretty mid.

A fun album with a little bit on funk.

No, just no

And remember kids… don’t do drugs

You know those people during the American Revolution who wanted to be like the British and remain under the crown? This is the American band equivalent…

I love early nineties hip hop and Mr. Wendell is especially memorable. Overall fun and strong message.

I see a lot of reviews comparing the Kinks to the Beatles, but the difference is that the later had good songs on their albums.

Most of this album is a light version of the songs we know so well from them.

Spotify doesn't let you play this album ... be like Spotify

Two Billion play songs on the same album (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Time After Time.) This album was so impactful on the 80s and beyond,

It was okay!

SKA!!! This is the beginning of SKA and for that we are all eternally grateful!

¡Qué sorpresa tan divertida! Le di una oportunidad y me alegro de haberlo hecho.

I was really ready to hate this ... but that is why we listen BEFORE we judge.

All I wanted to was have some fun ... and this album delivered

Help! I am being assaulted! The modern dance is apparently a beat-down

Could we please have all the members of the band play the same song at the same time?!?

It started off so well and descended into "noise"

Everything going okay, kinda getting into the groove, then plays "Next" ... makes awkward face and sheepishly ends the album ...

When my girls were little we took them to this Butterfly Festival at a nature preserve. You know very hippyish. There was this little old lady there singing on stage and it had this ethereal sound that filled the trees ... this sounds like that!

It was a fun album!

Enjoyableand relaxed

I mean, it was the 80s ... and it was the weird part of the 80s

Remember when we beat those arrogant Iceland kids in Mighty Ducks 2? Yeah, even with Bjork, they lose again!

I like the blues, I like rock, and I like quite a few Rolling Stones songs, but this album, while okay, didn't meet the hype.

It was a fun album, something I never would have ever even known about. However the super long tracks at the end seemed to go on forever

I never knew what Rock really needed was more flute ...

Another album that was a wee bit too long. Solid 4 drops down to a high 3 because I eventually became over it".

Stop with these British hacks! Please, I am not going to make it to the end of this list!!

Good Album ... even better fashion designer. Did you see how the dress looked like it was on fire? The other one turned into a Mocking Jay! I wonder what happened to him after the Quarter Quell?

That was a good surprise!

Another nice surprise

Imagine being able to turn one hit song into a two hour live album? That is amazing feat of producing, but a fairly boring album

Slowly backs away while avoiding direct eye contact ...

Gonna fire up this bad boy later and run through some ear candy!!

I really kept waiting for the "Next Nirvana" part to show up, but it wasn't even Nirvana on Temu

You know when you watch one of those chase scenes in a movie that takes place somewhere in Asia and it is trying to be hip and get you pump while also trying to be Asian? Now imagine that for an hour

You already know ...

Today my daughter went to some fancy hair salon that was playing weird music ... this sounds like that music.

The bass, the synth, the 80s oozing out of every beat. I don't know how hungry wolves are, but this album left me completely satisfied!

This was a journey. At the start of "Overture" I almost just skipped the whole album, but I hung on and then googled if the lead singer was Shawn Mullins, he isn't but I still like it

No!

You could say I love this album while I am with it ... but I more than likely won't come back

I had never listened to a Led Zepplin album before, but I am glad I did. This was a massive double album and not a bad song on it.

I am not sure what to make of this, one minute it was a one, next it was a four, so let's just settle at a two

My favorite color is yellow

This is both weird and beautiful as a struggle with grief often is. It is real, raw, and an experience and I honestly don't know how to rate it.

I mean ... Well ... It's not awful ...

HECK YEAH!!!!!

My Dad loved the "fake band" and I grew up watching them on Nick at Night and even saw Davey Jones at the flower power series at EPCOT in the early 2000s

What a pretentious piece of crap. He pissed me off just from the titles of the songs ... then it got even worse when I tried to listen.

Better than expected. I am a sucker for 90s Hip Hop

It wasn't terrible ...

If you don't like pavement, it's your own asphalt

I wanted to hate this but I didn't

The pioneers of a Grunge music

You know at EPCOT's Journey to the Imagination where there is that floor and you step on a different tile and it plays a different instrument sounds? It is designed to all play together and flow in the same general direction but it is just a complete hodge podge of everything ... This is an hour long album of that

This makes me want a taco real bad

Goes to get the cardboard I keep in the back of my car for just this occasion. Finally, a Breakdance battle in the Walmart parking lot ... Hit it DJ!

It's the Sonic the Hedgehog video game soundtrack ... Not really ... but same vibe

It started off great .. I was like heck yeah a female lead punk band ... Awesome ... But maybe it just went on way too long ...

We have some very familiar songs from the 60s that are all great, but then you get all these instrumental pieces, Motown covers, and even a little soul all of which might be even more fun!

I got pregnant just listening to this album!

Boom, Wicka, Wicka, Boom, Boom ... Drugs are bad!

If this music did have children they are probably the weird ones that sit by themselves in the corner with the cat ear shaped headphones

Everything about this was meh

Father McKenzie would agree that this is a 5 star album. The album that made the Beatles the biggest band ever. Plus, Yellow Submarine is fun, stop hating on it

The very first song has the singer moaning the line "You are unbearable, run away" ... so I did!

Every Good Boy Does Fine! and this album is another good one

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It's like the music playing in that trendy store in the mall ... mixed with some Taylor Swift vibes

Imagine watching an ASMR video while your toddler was running around the house munching on things and playing with various noise making toys ...

I couldn't get through the first song. This is horrible, not in a musical sense, but in content, then I saw they were British and it all made sense.

I scream, you scream, why are we screaming?

If the album name and cover art didn't give it away, the opening track does ...

The first 3 tracks were relaxing ... almost zen. The next 3 erased any peaceful feelings

Fabulous Schmabulous!

What is worse than the elicit, gansta style rap ... that filthiness being sung by woman. However Back in the Day is what salvaged this album for a 2

This was fun! After all the 80s Hair Bands retire or go on reunion tours, this group decided to "Land" on the scene brining back the genre

This is early blues at it's finest. A great album!

This felt like playing SimCity3000. IYKYK

Although I have heard "Riders on the Storm" I have never really listened to the Doors before. It was fun, bluesy, and I can see why they had the impact they did.

Back to Back and doesn't disappoint

The Bee Gees Pre-Disco feels just like another 60s band. I never thought I would think that disco actually made something better ...

Classic Punk album. It was a fun listen

I can see the popularity for it's stated purpose; calm, peaceful, ambient airport music. But, For the purpose of this list, I can't see anyone saying "Man, I want to go to the airport and hang out all day so I can listen to the music"

It really does all sound the same sometimes, doesn't it? Not bad, not good ... just eh

There were several major musical themes of the 80s. The Big Hair Rock Bands, The Metal, Punk, Disco, Pop and then there was the "weird / quirky" type stuff. A B52 album that doesn't have "love shack" is definitely an interesting choice

This is appropriately named ...

It's been a while since we had a billion play song and here we have two. 45 years later this album is still rockin' and everyone knows at least one song from it

Ever heard of the 90s Alt band Sugar? I hadn't ... but I like it ... This is exactly the kind of stuff I was really into back in the day!

A British 70's punk band? I've seen this one before. This one does nothing to differentiate itself from the others.

Mile Davis is a legend and this album is staple. I don't like a lot of jazz, but this album is perfect for the background or chillin'

I get the hype. This was a folksy / bluesy album that defined a generation and a movement

It was okay ... But it is EDM and British ... so 2 stars

I thought it was a really long first song and then I realized it was the whole album. Boring and British ...

No, nope, no way, nu uh, absolutely not ... Even the album cover is scary!

I liked this more than I wanted to ...

This was everywhere when it came out and is one of the defining albums of the later 90s, without the "Extra" songs this would be a 3, thankfully those two tracks push it over the line for a 4.

Everything about this was bad. It is 154 minutes of bad songs with very little listens, the cover art is weird and semi-offensive, like most of the music on here and lastly it is another British artist. It is hard to Cope with this Nope

Every single song on this album is a legend!

3 Chapters, 3 hours, 3 Stars

All this time I misunderstood the purpose of this list. They are giving us a 1001 that we must listen to in order to actually be killed. There ae some great mixed in here to keep you hooked, but all this British stuff is the real lethal mix. Just mindlessly putting us into a irreversible stupor.

Shout out to Terry Parker High School, The Matthews Bridge, The Arlington Section of Jacksonville, Our Generation, and Ben Stiller!

Another English Rock Band, ugh, but they were actually pretty enjoyable ... I didn't even realize they were Brits until I read the reviews.

Ah Yes, the beginning of the fall of the American Suburb. I remember when some of the stores in our popular suburban mall started playing this album. That mall is now shuttered because the culture shifted and it became unsafe. Thanks Dre!

I am absolutely Louvin this! Every choir student should have to listen to this. A master class on tight harmonies and diction.

I like Kate Bush. I like the 80s. I do not like this.

An all time great album! Such a big part of growing up. I know the most two familiar songs on this album are covers, but wow!

It's like an 80s girl band ... but in 1999

It was okay ... It kinda all sounded the same

This was pretty fun ... and bagpipes in a rock song? Heck Yes!

What the heck did I just listen to?

Although I am not a Bob Dylan fan, this is a fantastic album that is well written and it is great to see a man with a major speech impediment be able to have such fanfare!

<Pulls out spray bottle> No! Bad! Stop It!

I literally started nodding off ... But I like naps!

Just like the real war on drugs it sounds okay but there really isn't much to it.

This right here is why people homeschool!

Sexist, Racist, Crude, and all the other things. How did this guy build a network TV acting career?

When I saw the band's name I though this was either going to be really good or really bad with absolutely no chance for a middle. I was right!

All these review calling her a knock off Dolly? Loretta was doing it first!! This is country roots at it's finest!

The Good Time definitely rolled!

Absolutely Fantastic and so appropriate getting this right after Halloween. There will definitely be some Smashing Pumpkins of every kind!

Musical Genius spiraling into madness and kicked out of one of the biggest bands ever makes a solo album called "The Madcap Laughs", super awesome concept. but pretty rough product.

This is what the 60s sounds like!

This fire is absolutely lit!

I kinda forgot it was playing ...

Ramblin' Jack is okay by me ...

You can't stop the train ... or the groove. Early 90s Hip Hop is great!!

This is rock and roll. Bunch of dudes just playing great music and rockin' out.

This what the turn of the century sounded like. It is fun, in a way classic, and still holds up well.

I can't do it ... We had such a good streak going!

I was in mall yesterday and 3 different trendy stores had music that sounded just like this.

This was great. I enjoyed the richness and diversity in the song set and the quality of production.

I feel this would be a good album for when you are working out. It sounds a bit like the "inspirational sequence" in an 80s movie ...

What do you get when you mix Frank Sinatra and Bossa Nova ... I don't know, but I think I'm in love

Fun classic rock album. It was still great even without any smoke on the water.

No! Why?

When someone calls themselves Sensational, they probably aren't.

Another Billion play song with "Song #2", but outside of that the rest really is just a blur.

Yo already know!

Such a great album. Every single song is a hit!

90s hip hop is fun but this is the beginning of the shift to gansta rap so, one star deduction for content

I mean, it's okay. A little bit weird

I saw the album cover heard the first few notes and was going to turn it off, but I just couldn't. I kept saying "The next song is the last one" all the way to the end.

I like English History and Mythology as much as the next guy (Maybe even slightly more) and I was really excited when I saw Genesis ... But this right here ...

No! Girl, put on some clothes and find some self respect.

Germans are weird

How are there two of these on the list?!?!

It was okay, especially for a British Band

I don't think I have ever been angry enough to relate to this. Hurt is a great song and saved the score even if Johnny did it better

I am torn on this one. So it's gets a 3, right in the middle

I can't understand a word they say and have no clue what is going on, but I like it!

Wowzers! This is why I am doing this list! So powerful.

Aptly named, there are strange things in the basement

I remember when this came out and I thought this was the end of her career. I was right

Did I actually like this? It must have caught my on the right day!

All the other Slim Shady's really are just imitaties.

Another Joni album, another 3 stars

W-what time is it? Did I fall asleep? The album is over and I don't think I missed anything

I mean, it's alright

Felt like I was on hold for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

We gotta have that punk Ow, we want the punk!

You know that running joke in HIMYM where Robin Sparkles was an 80s teen pop star in the 2000s because Canada was 20 years behind culturally? Well apparently France is over 30 years behind

A Solid Album. No kinks noticed

Is this the greatest Pink Floyd Album ever?!?

What is something even more annoying than the the French? That's right, EDM ... This happens to be a combination of both!

The Title track is at 1.8 Billion plays, and although it is a major hit the rest of the album falls short.

You most definitely are not a bird, but you seem very confused as to what you are

What the beck is this? Definitely a mixed bag.

It's the Hag ... and it is beautiful!

Great! Just Great!

I was enjoying this album and then the pan flute showed up! Solid 4 stars, what a fun discovery!

2 Billion + Plays songs on this album "You Give Love a Bad Name" & "Livin' On A Prayer" at 2B. This might be one of my favorite albums of all time.

Not for me

Heck Yeah!!

Starts off bad then continues to get worse.

I was ready to rock, and rock I did!

This was one of those little gems you find on this list that make you want more ...

Fun album ... a little weird, but most fun things are

...and then sometimes weird is just weird

Classic 80s Rock ... but British (Points deducted)

This was another fun one that I had never heard of

Very diverse in it's musical style and fun listen.

This is sixties psychedelic with tons of harpsichord and flute solos

Live those dreams Scheme those schemes Got to hit me (hit me!) Hit me (hit me!) Hit me with those laser beams Ow ow ow!
