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 Definitely outdated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?
