1001 Albums Summary

Not my taste at all. The last song was the best because it featured more vocal than instrumental.

Another one that is not close to what I like.

A bit better but I wouldn't buy any of these songs.

That was better than the others.

I actually remembered the first song on this album; it reached #2 in April May 1973.

First time I ever listened to Jimi Hendrix; probably because it isn't my type of music.

Another group and song I heard of. Basically only cared for one song.

I wonder what makes some songs hits and others completely unheard?

The music was fine but the guy sings off key! It would have been much better with no "singing".

Nice - never heard of the group but it has a nice sound.

Ok. Nothing outstanding but nothing offensive either. Just so so.

He's a true star. The music is great and you can understand the lyrics.

The music was awful and the vocals sounded like screaming. I wouldn't take this album if you gave it to me for free!

One or two songs I'd listen to again but some just sound like someone is pressing random keys on a keyboard.

Very easy to listen to. I didn't know all the songs but I knew most of them.

I've never been a fan of Bob Dylan; don't know why. The songs were fine just not something I'd ever buy.

Still don't like Bob Dylan. I thought this was worse than Friday's album.

Ok. Nothing earth shattering but not too offensive despite the cover looking bad.

Interesting. I know Steve Winwood. I got Dave Mason confused with Mason Williams.

Never heard of the group. Liked this.

Another one I was unaware of. He has a good deep voice.

Don't know the group but I was very familiar with the first song, though I never knew the title.

Like his music but he talked waaay too long before By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

Guy has a good voice but the music is depressing. Sounds like something that would be played at a Nazi rally!

Again. not my kind of music. At least it wasn't offensive like yesterday.

I heard of this group but can't recall any of their songs. Guy is talking and/or yelling. It is not singing. Pre-rap?

I actually knew a few songs because in the 70's. I'd be out dancing. I did not know the group Chic.

Nother group/person I never heard of. Music okay but nothing outstanding.

I've heard of this group. I only knew one of the songs. Music was okay - not offensive. I liked the last song, Romance Reinvented, an instrumental.

spotify would only allow me to listen to 5 of the 8 songs on the album.

Another group I heard of and knew 2 of the songs. Since I watched One Tree Hill, I had to read about the song. It was very interesting, especially since I was in Auckland NZ pre tree cut down but did not know about the tree there!

This is the music I grew up listening to. I knew 7 of the 8 songs, though the one song I associate with a country music star. I enjoyed listening to these moldy oldies.

Group I never heard of, even under the old name Posterchild.

Not a fan of country music but I enjoyed this. I would listen to this again.

I listen to several songs by Aretha and have them loaded on my mp3 player. Respect is one of them.

What's not to like? I own several Beatles vinyl LPs. I didn't know over half of the songs on this album.

Another group I'm familiar with.

Never heard of them. Lead singer sings off key; very off-putting.

She has a good voice and range but I didn't listen to the Rap style songs. So I'd only like about 1/2 the songs she sang.

I've heard of her but can't name any of her songs.

I'm more familiar with their later songs.

I did not know him. I especially liked Whistle Down the Wind.

I heard of them. I did not like the over 20 minute song. The only song I liked was Are you Ready Eddie.

Never heard of this group but I liked the music.

Never heard of them. Lyrics are interesting.

Music and vocal sounds slightly off key on the first song.

I heard of them though I don't know any songs. Most of the songs just sound like noise!

I heard of them. I don't appreciate their music.

I never heard of them. So far I really like the first 3 songs and looking forward to hearing the rest.

Truthfully sounds like yelling in French. Nothing musical about it.

Easier to listen to than the French album from yesterday.

Easy instrumental music to relax to. I don't need vocals to enjoy music.

I never heard of him. Nice, easy listening.

Another group I never heard of. I did not like their rendition of Maggie May.

Lots of songs I'm very familiar with. What a tragedy such talent was cut short.

I heard of the group. None of their songs come to mind immediately.

I liked the first two songs. I cut the next two short because I didn't like the "noise".

I'm familiar with him and like the first song.

Never heard of them.

I heard of them but never heard their music.

Rap is a waste of listening time! I like the music but don't appreciate adding the words.

Heard of the group - never listened to any of their songs.

Heard of them. Hate the first song. Lyrics are interesting but I don't consider "rap" music!

Never heard of them but the song I'm Glad reminds me of songs by two other groups. Very easy to listen to.

Didn't like them a few days ago. My opinion hasn't changed. Rap is NOT music.

I don't appreciate "god damn mf " as lyrics.

Familiar with the name but not any of his tunes. I looked up his discography and I do know Fame.

Very nice to listen to. My husband even asked who this was because he liked the music.

More RAP, which I do NOT consider music. The audio is nice but ruined by the "talking".

Not his well-known songs but still good. There were a few songs I knew towards the end of the album.

Another duo that I never heard of. The music is pleasant.

I heard the name but not familiar with any of his songs.

The music isn't offensive but nothing truly outstanding either. I liked Broken Arrow, the last song.

First song good then he reverted to RAP crap.

Nice, relaxing, easy to listen to.

Was not allowed to listen to the first 3 songs so I only heard 5 of the 8.

again, I was unable to listen to 2 of the 8 songs on Spotify.

Never heard of them. Don't care for.

Not familiar with her songs.

What a treat! Ella singing the Gershwin tunes.

Another treat.

Jungle doesn't sound like the Joni Mitchell I expected. I didn't care for it.

I'm not familiar with her music. She has a nice voice.

Love her music!

This is before I listened to music but I know the name.

This must be a one hit wonder group. I never heard of them and this is the time when I was listening to music a lot. It isn't music you can dance to and that's what we wanted in the 50's, 60's and 70's. It's more like background music for a movie or tv show.

Sounds like yelling. Not my kind of music.

I didn't care for the first 2 or 3 songs but liked the later ones. I still prefer the disco-type music that came later in their career.

Love them. Own an album. The August 29th songs reminded me of the Chicago riots and the Democratic national Convention.

Never heard of them.

I'm only familiar with a few of their songs.

Never heard of him. His lyrics are moving. Glad I was steered to this.

Only song I know is The Girl from Ipanema.

Heard the name; don't know the songs.

What's not to like!

Another group I know.

He might have cult followers but I don't appreciate his music.

so-so.

Never heard of him. Nice voice. Shame he killed himself in his 20's. The song Northern Sky sounds familiar.

First African singer I ever listened to. Interesting.

Ah, someone I know and listen to. So many good songs on this album!

Talking to music is NOT singing. Guitar playing requires talent but let someone else do vocals!

Such a sweet voice which doesn't match his appearance.

Know them and their songs.

Heard of them; not sure I'm familiar with their songs.

An 18 minute song is ridiculous!

Surprised it is males and not females based on the group's name. I enjoyed the riff in the Fender's ad more than the music from this group!

Nothing offensive but not outstanding either.

First "song" sounds like a toddler grabbing an instrument and fooling with it. 2nd song just sounds like noise - not music!

Two of the songs on this album are not available on Spotify.

She sang during my high school years so I'm not familiar with her songs, though I recognize the name. The song Mbube has parts that aver similar to Whimaway.

Never heard of them. First song sounds good.

I never heard of them but I like the sound.

I'd probably enjoy this better if I understood the lyrics.

Almost as bad as rap. I don't appreciate this "music".

Love Tiny Dancer - the only song I recognize.

Know them and a few songs

Sound like the Beatles

Never heard of them. Nothing really impressive.

Never heard of them. Pre-Rap? Talking to music is NOT singing. Drums okay but other "noise" sounds like electrical interference. Abrasive.

I want a man who makes me want to kill. Stupid lyrics!

I'm starting to appreciate Jazz.

Anything by the Beach Boys is good.

Makes nice background music.

Wow an album with only 2 songs.

Never heard of the group.

On a roll with artists I actually know.

Sounds like it should be in a sci-fi movie. Not entertaining to me.

Heard of the Kinks.

I'm familiar with U2.

Some of the music is just noise! I liked one song, The Presidential Suite, which is probably a cover of the group Say Anything song.

The group has a nice sound.

A group I know and like.

One step above noise. Didn't enjoy at all.

Heard of them and know a few of their songs.

Another group I know. I especially enjoyed Heard it thru the Grapevine.

Another familiar singer.

I recognized the first song, though I didn't know the name.

Another one I know with songs I know.

Not familiar with him. I found some of his songs/lyrics offensive. Music should be entertaining, not anger inducing.

I really enjoyed this.

two songs I liked and the other two were so-so, IMO.

Weird. Sounds could be background for sci-fi movie. Counting to sounds is NOT music.

I never heard of the last song: You Don't Miss Your Water but I really liked it.

I was very familiar with one song, The Rockafeller Skank, from the movie She's All That.

I like her voice. Unfortunately, I find some of her lyrics offensive.

I never heard of the group but glad I was introduced. The vocalist reminds me of Bruce Springsteen. I especially liked Intervention.

I always liked his lively music.

spotify only allowed me to listen to 8 of the 14 songs. Blueberry Hill is always great.

I didn't care for most of the songs. I did like Hang Down Your Head.

I don't think I'll ever consider RAP as legitimate music.

I've never been a Taylor Swift fan but I have to admit that I enjoyed listening to this.

Some of the songs just sounded like noise! My husband remarked, "I thought your computer was broken with the strange sounds coming from it".

Most of the songs weren't outstanding but Maybe I'm Amazed was the gem on this album.

With the exception of the last track, all the songs sounded the same.

I never heard of this group but I did enjoy listening to them.

Another artist I never heard of. I was glad to hear this album; I enjoyed it.

I like all the tracks except the 2nd to last on disk 2, Revolution 9.

I liked Over the Hill, probably because I am! The other songs were so-so.

He should not have covered: Bridge over Troubled Waters, First Time I Ever Saw Your Face, In My Life, Danny Boy and Desperado.

I especially liked On Hold, though I had never heard of the group.

It sounded like a cross between disco of the 70's and later rap music.

I never heard of him but was very appreciative of the songs on this album.

I'm tired of David Bowie. I don't care for his music and this is the 3rd album in the group!

I never appreciated Blues and jazz but since this 1,0001 album journey, I am starting to enjoy both.

I was very familiar with several songs on here.

I found some of the song titles and lyrics offensive.

I was familiar with several songs though the artist's name meant nothing to me.

Bizarre!

I liked the song where he teamed up with Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Don't like rap. Only listened a little because it was Queen Latifah.

I enjoyed Cutters vs Jets which is Sharks vs Jets from West Side Story.

I liked No Woman, No Cry and Killing Me Softly.

3 of the songs were not available to listen to.

I would have appreciated this more if I understood Spanish.

How appropriate with Brian Wilson's death making the news yesterday.

Love Walk of Life.

The best song was Let's Dance originally sung by Chris Montez.

Only 4 of the the 17 songs were available to listen to.

I still don't like David Bowie. I read that in the book 1,001 albums to hear before you die, he has 9 entries. Aaaack. That means I will have to listen to him a few more times.

Some of the background sounds, sounded like static on my speakers. It wasn't but it was weird.

4 of the 21 songs were not available to hear. Didn't care for monotonal singing but I did like the song Divorce.

Title of first song turned me off.

This is the music I grew up with! I have not heard of Solomon Burke but I enjoyed the songs.

A few songs are 5th Dimension tunes. Ah, after reading, I see she was the song writer of the tunes.

Of the 20 songs on the 2 discs, only 9 were available to hear on Spotify in the US.

I liked the instrumentals. I didn't care for the vocals.

sounds like noise and yelling!

I did not enjoy this as much as his previous albums.

I'd score it higher if there wasn't talking on the album!

Although I wasn't familiar with any of the songs, I liked their sound.

Compared to their other albums, the sound is good but I didn't care for most of the lyrics on this one.

7 of the songs were not available to hear in the US.

I don't appreciate hip hop but the lyrics were well thought out.

I still don't care for David Bowie but this earlier album was better than his later ones, IMO.

I wish it were a longer album!

That was painful! The guy is yelling, not singing. I found some of the lyrics offensive too.

Liked Miles. Perhaps a tribute to Miles Davis. Hated It's Business as Usual. Instrumentals I liked; a lot of vocals I didn't.

I either loved or hated the songs. It sounded like two different groups!

Sign of an album I enjoy - I wish it would last longer.

Great singer and dancer!

Sounds like yelling over noise! Did not enjoy. Touch Me I'm sick three times - why?

Still don't care for Bjork's style of singing.

I liked Jane says with Steel Drums.

I don't enjoy heavy metal.

I generally don't care for Bob Dylan but I enjoyed this album.

The high voice reminds me of Bjork, whom I don't care for.

This is the Bob Dylan singing/songs I don't like. Did not enjoy.

Two songs I liked: Unfinished Sympathy and Hymn of the Big Wheel.

Of the 30 songs, only 8 were available to listen to. I did not like the rendition of Our House.

Most "songs" simply sound like yelling to noise. The exception is Snuff. That is the only song of the 15 I appreciated.

Appreciated all but the last track which was talking.

Hard to rate. Some songs I liked and others I didn't.

Songs are too long! Feedback hurts my ears - sounds like trouble with a microphone.

Some of the songs remind of the disco hits of the 1970's.

just sounds like yelling to bizarre sounds.
