1001 Albums Summary

Love this. Want to buy the vinyl!

Not into this one. Feels like something I would have skipped over on Sesame Street if I had the chance back then.

This is a great album. Was on heavy rotation in 2002, 2002. Hard to believe it has been 20 years!

Not a fan

A classic! Not that I know classic jazz, but it feels comfortable to listen to. I feel more productive when this is on in the background. Plus my jazz-loving brother-in-law speaks of this album in glowing terms.

Paul Simon is just not my jam. Hard pass.

I avoided this one when it was first released. I didn't appreciate Dave Grohl and was ready to move on from all things Nirvana in the wake of Cobain's suicide, which I viewed as self-indulgent. Pretty judgy. The other problem is that I didn't really like the big hit from this album, Big Me. Didn't feel original enough. So now I'm giving it another chance, mostly from a position of greatly enhanced appreciation for Grohl. It's not bad. I don't know that I'll be coming back to it. Seems too Nirvana-ish to me (esp. Alone + Easy Target). Dave came into his own in later Foo work. But this is a decent album.

One of the best!

A great album

Decent

One of the very best. It is impossible to capture in words the ways this music, this art, has catalyzed my discovery of the world and my place in it. I have cried more listening to this album than any other, shocked by its beauty. If I were to choose one album that represents me more than any other, this would be it. The gradual swell of Street, the gospel of Still haven't found, the longing of With or Without You. Running to stand still, Bullet, One Tree Hill, Mothers, Exit. They're all amazing songs. I have to take care to keep it fresh, but I love this music!

I've heard a few LC tunes. How can one not? But listening to the entire album is transformative! Perfect music for a snowy day like today.

Love this album. Especially Poor Places.

I feel like I should like this album more than I do. Three stars. Maybe four.

I'm digging this one! Except the last track. Not my jam.

Meh

Yuck

Bought this album while living in Tokyo in 1995. Always reminds me of those days. Good album. Good times!

I know people love Nick, but it just isn't for me. Maybe its the time of day. I should listen again at night.

Meh

Great album

I liked it more than expected. Had not heard it before. Where was I in 2000? Ah, grad school. What else did I miss?

Who doesn't love De La Soul? My father-in-law probably doesn't. But other than that, nobody doesn't like De La Soul. Especially this album. Me, Myself, and I is so good. What have I done that is that good? I should get back to work.
