American Gothic remains one of those great albums that never found its audience. This is still true

It has some really great moments. There is a reason that some of the songs were never hits though
I really hate this one. I'm trying to listen to the end but it's painful.
Never heard of these guys. Found it interesting and listened a few times. It had a decent ambient quality to it
This one surprised me a little. I liked it more than I thought I would. There was some cool musical moments.
Wikipedia says the release of this failed to chart. I'm not surprised. There were a lot of great albums from that year. This was not one of them. Why is it in this list?
Back when this came out, I avoided it. I was annoyed by all the girls that were into them. The songs that were hits are decent. The others are just ok
Good musicians but I can only listen for a limited time
It was ok. Definitely outdated
It was pretty good. Made me want to fix my doorbell
Musical Melatonin. I could not keep my eyes open
I'm not an angry adolescent anymore. Not sure I would have even gotten into this back then.
Not really a fan of the breathy female vocal style
Stevie is great! Sounds even better in headphones
Definitely not one that would have been on my radar. I liked it though
Just ok
Fine for background music
Probably their best album but I can only listen to them for a little while before I need something different
I listened to it yesterday and it was unmemorable
I've been aware of this album for a long time but never listened to it. It had a very familiar sound to it since so many bands I love were influenced by this.
Some great songs and some that were grating
Surprising. I liked it more than I expected
What the crap was that?
Some classics on here
Kinda depressing
I'm sure it was a big deal at the time
Brings back so many memories
Couldn't understand the words
Too much over thinking
Sorta interesting for the time period
Reminded me of someone making melodies to the sound of the drill at the dentist
Marvin was a horn dog
Siouxsie does have some great songs. I don't think this was it
Zzzzzzz
Lot of whining
We've fallen a long way from "the doggone girl is mine" to songs like WAP
Couldn't finish it
It was good but not a Beck favorite of mine
Definitely not a favorite Bowie album
Couldn't even listen. I hate the "hits" from this album and didn't want to hear the rest
Weird
Started out good but lost me half way through
Always liked Johnny's guitar playing but Morrisey makes me want to slit my wrists
Sounded like a poor imitation of Peter Gabriel
I sound like my dad but I couldn't understand the words
Like a few songs but listening all at once was too much of the same thing over and over
It was ok
Hated it
Jazz hurts my head
Were the drugs different in the 1970s? What the crap was this?
Classic for the 3 minute and 3 chord songs that were a response to the weird prog rock of the time
Feels like heavy metal musical theater - hated it
Some great songs
Fine if you like ambient music
Always thought Bjork was weird and never got into this band. It was better than I expected
Always loved the guitar tone
Not Johnny's best
One of my top 10!
Not their best
Thom is a whiner
YAWN
Reminds me of the machines at the dentist office
Couldn't stomach it
Just fluff
Why do people like these crybaby brothers so much?
American Gothic remains one of those great albums that never found its audience. This is still true
Not bad for a manufactured boy band
Everything after Joshua Tree is hit or miss. This has some good songs but isn't their best
I feel like I am the only person in the world that doesn't like Radiohead and I am ok with that
I love Jane Says. There is some interesting stuff here. I think I have a hard time liking it because seeing them live was such a disappointment
Hardly through the first song and ABSOLUTELY hating this. This is proof that people will consume anything no matter how bad it is
I didn't hate it
How do some things make it to this list of 1001?
