1001 Albums Summary

Something new for me - I liked that the lyrics and beats were a bit silly and that the sound samples were new and original for the time. I probably won’t listen again but am glad I did.

The sound is familiar to me as I know other Bowie material, but I hadn't heard this album. Enjoyable!

Some of the songs were a little unsettling for me to listen to melodically. The overall tonal quality is pretty driving/frantic, which wasn't really the mood I was in when listening. It was fine but probably not an album I'll listen to again.

This isn't really the genre for me -- much of this music sounded the same to me.

Some familiar/comforting Stevie Wonder chord progressions and melodic styling in here, even though I only knew one of the songs.

I loved this album! The music just made me feel good/awake/alive. :)

Hard pass. I feel like this is 1) the music playing in every Hot Topic and/or 2) the music Tim played in high school.

I feel like this is the album that has been playing in every record store I've ever gone into. It's fine and I understand that it's a seminal work, it's just not my style.

I liked this! It's always very chill for me to listen to music in languages other than English. The vibe of the album was relaxing but upbeat -- good music to do chores to. :)

I did not expect to like this album but I REALLY did! I loved the very strong beats and bass as well as the repetition -- I liked listening for new things in the music through each repetition of a bass line or melodic phrase.

I really loved the vibe of this album! Some fun, funky, retro ska that I really enjoyed.

After the interminable first track this became an okay album, but not my genre at all.

Again, I can see how there are people who like this album, but it's not my genre at all. Just vocals about how sad the singer is to be alone; the instrumentation feels pretty dated to me.

I mean, it's fine. I can see putting this on to do homework or something, but I wouldn't put it on if I were just like "I want to listen to some music."

Some old favorites but also new listens on this album for me. I liked hearing some remnants of Simon & Garfunkel combined with nascent later Paul Simon solo work.

Well, certainly not an album I would put on to improve my mood -- beautiful, bleak songwriting here.

This is one of the first One Album a Day albums that I would come back to just listen to for fun -- I really liked the indie sound of this record and enjoyed the various beats and tempos of the different songs.

I love that Queen and this album never take themselves too seriously. :)

I really don't like when all songs on an album sound the same to me. I get that this band is going for a certain sound -- lots of electric guitar and scream-singing from the vocalists -- but it's just that I don't care for the sound itself.

I mean, yes, fine. Good old '90s acoustic/alt sound, which I like, but after a while this album gets pretty long and the songs all start to sound similar.

I liked this album more than Dusty in Memphis because this is mostly oldies/60s covers from Burt Bacharach, Carole King, etc and has less of the lounge singer vibe than her other album I've listened to through 1001 Albums so far. I like that retro vibe and enjoyed listening to this album!

Bon Iver on speed

Not entirely sure what's going on with the ambient sounds combined with the retro/dweeby vibe of most of the songs. Was it retro/dweeby at the time? Not sure. Anyway. It's Beach Boys.

Fucking unlistenable

Nope! Don't like that!

All instrumental, probably a little experimental at the time, decent music for doing homework.

High school throwback! Very familiar sound but still don't love Chris Martin's voice.

Quintessential '90s alt-rock -- I only knew 'Wonderwall' so it was interesting to hear more of their stuff, but probably not an album I'd come back to in the future.

It doesn't look like anything to me.

I liked this one! Reminiscent of The Who.

Yes, yes, yes! I'm very surprised I didn't come across this album in high school/college -- younger me would have loved it (and honestly needed it). Inject this anti-patriarchal rage into my veeeeiiiiins

Not my jam in any way

Whatever this was, I didn't like it.

Enjoyable!

This was fine - would not be my go-to jam but okay for an hour or so.

I liked this one! Funny, smart songwriting; cohesive vibe across the album without letting every song sound the same.

Did not dislike it as much as I expected to, but probably also wouldn't come back to it for a re-listen.

Good old-school punk vibes!

I liked this one! Interesting/pretty songwriting with a ‘90s vibe.

I liked it! Good instrumental jams for a rainy morning.

Elvis is in the building! I really enjoyed this album -- I hadn't heard any of these Elvis songs before, so it was a new experience for me, and I really dig the early 1960s rhythms, horns, vocals, etc.

Enjoyable 1970s vibes. I hadn't heard much Tom Petty before and he has such a unique voice!

I liked this one -- very good late Bowie vibes.

Another bleak, elegant Leonard Cohen album.

A combo of Talking Heads and Blondie - I liked it!

I liked this one -- good 1980s synth vibes, some interesting/political lyrics, and a cohesive sound across the album without being repetitive.

Not my jam.

It was fine! Not usually my kind of jam, but it was interesting and upbeat, and something new for me to be exposed to.

This was okay -- nothing I'd play again, but I liked the sound and the vibe.

Nope! Don't like that!

I liked this one a lot! Cool 1970s vibes.

I actually liked this more than I expected to, but it's still not something I'd choose to put on just to listen to for the hell of it.

Some of these songs don't know when to be over, and I could do without the God/Jesus content. But I like the general sound -- definitely shades of the Beatles in there combined with his own cool 1970s thing.

Nothing special - not even sure why it made the 1001 list.

Hm! Interesting. I had never heard of this band and hadn't heard any of the music on this album. It's an interesting mix of 80s vibes and singer/songwriter stuff -- I liked it, but it might not seem like a cohesive album to some folks.

I liked how earnest this album was! Kind of a mix between the Beatles, Tom Petty, the Beach Boys -- I had never heard of this group and I enjoyed this album.

I love this old school swing vibe!! Louis Prima also takes me back to a particular time in my life that I have fond memories of. This was a great way to start a Friday. :)

I really enjoyed this album because I didn't really know what it was -- what genre is this, even? It's not quite singer-songwriter, it's not quite pop, but I liked it. Put the lime in the coconut!

No thank you! I can see how this is objectively a good/seminal album, but it's just not for me.

YES CHEF! I loved every single song on this album. It made me both happy (for the musical style, instrumentation, and vibes) and sad (for the lyrics and stories of the songs). I knew some of the songs already but not others, and I definitely plan to come back to this album.

It was fine, I guess, but it just didn't really click for me.

<giant eye roll>

Good old Bob Marley! Some perennial favorites on this one but also some that were new to me.

I mean, it was fine -- but didn't hit me hard in the sounds or the words.

I like the blend of 1970's vibes and New Wave sounds -- I knew some of these songs already but not all of them, so it was an interesting listen.

This was interesting! Not anything I would have chosen to listen to on my own, but was some relatively neat background/instrumental music that I enjoyed.

I mean, yeah, fine. Radiohead has never been my bag.

I don't like my music to be scary!

No thanks. Not my jam.

Another album that's just not my jam. I can appreciate that it has a significant place in the heavy metal genre but I just didn't enjoy listening to it.

Having had several hard rock / heavy metal albums in a row now...I'm over it. Hopefully this is the last one for a while!

For a non-jazz person such as myself, this was actually okay! I can see why it's such a staple of the genre.

I liked this! Like ambient music but dialed up to 11.

Exactly what I would have thought a full a-ha album would sound like, solely based on my knowledge of Take on Me.

Still what I would consider heavy metal, but at least not scary heavy metal

I like the blend of 1950s/60s sound combined with early rock and roll. Cool groove.

An interesting 1970s vibe - I liked it!

It was okay - nothing special to me.

I enjoyed this one! Good old country / Americana feel; I hadn't heard of this artist before but I liked the album a lot.

Like if Taylor Swift and Regina Spektor had a baby

Musically and rhythmically interesting; lyrically unpleasant

I liked this! Good classic, rustic America feel to it.

Thanks, I hate it

Like a jam band...but also not? I don't know. It was fine.

I liked this! Pretty different than anything I've heard before.

Good old CSN! I knew some of these but most were new to me. This is the kind of late '60s / early '70s music I like.

Man, I love this! The sound, the story songs, the revolutionary-ness of Johnny Cash playing a concert at a prison -- all excellent.

Fine, but nothing I'll come back to.

Kind of a trip. Can't decide if good trip or bad trip.

Very Monkees, very Mamas and the Papas, very '60s hippie pop vibe.

It's really wild how many genres / musical styles are represented here -- the album is really long but worth it!

I liked this one! Interesting vibes and cool stuff being done on the piano.

We stan a rock band playing with a symphony orchestra!

Melancholy, sad, hurt my heart in a good way.

This album loves the smell of its own farts.

It was fine -- about what I'd expect from an Elliott Smith album.

Very of the early 2000s -- high school me would have enjoyed this.

I liked this one for the cultural artifact-ness of it all — I really enjoyed how the live recording evokes the mood, the event, the audience, the banter, etc. It very much captures its time and place and I liked that very much. The music itself I could take or leave…!

I don't understand why anyone would listen to this voluntarily

Absolutely insufferable

I don't understand why anyone would voluntarily listen to this album

Meh. It was fine; I liked some of the quieter/more instrumental stuff but overall would give this one a pass

Meh. It was fine but not anything earth-shattering for me

Look, I know Van Morrison is a shitty person, but this music reminds me so much of my childhood -- I love his voice, the piano, the horns, the strings, all of it.

No thank you

It was fine - I see how this album meant a lot to a lot of people and why it won a Pulitzer. It's still not my jam but I'm glad it exists

Mehhhhh

Queen is a classic for a reason! I enjoyed this album and hadn't heard most of the songs on it before.

This didn't hit for me

Nothing about this album really grabbed me. It was fine, I guess, but it felt like being at a spa run by Radiohead.

Bops all the way down! This isn't my favorite Bowie era but the album is still solid as hell.

::drools:: '90s rocker girls all day every day! I knew about half these songs already but took a deeper listen to the lyrics, and some were new to me (I particularly liked "Not the Doctor"). Putting this one in the same category as the man-hating anti-patriarchy Liz Phair type stuff that I love.

A nice surprise! I liked the grungy, dive bar, British punk/ska vibe of this album.

This man cannot sing and it will never not drive me crazy.

I really liked this one! In the vein of Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, etc. Made some good endorphins. :)

It was fine, but didn't get me jazzed to listen to more Neil Young or anything.

[insert Selina Meyer WTF GIF from Veep]

Beautiful music to slit your wrists to

I don't even know, man

A fun, grungy, 1960s garage sound - probably would not listen again but was enjoyable

I just am not a Jimi Hendrix gal. Sorry.

I am sorry but I simply cannot take this music seriously

B-52s meets Gin Blossoms meets Beach Boys? Somehow it works!

No thank you

Sure - classic 1970s rock can't be wrong. I especially liked "Jamie's Cryin'," which I hadn't heard before.

Can't go wrong with Bowie!

Some Temptations material I hadn't heard before! Mostly bops, one or two weird ones.

I like the lead singer's voice. Kind of an odd choice for track #1 - not a banger or a bop, as the kids say - but overall an interesting album and rather undefinable in terms of genre.

I enjoyed the Afrobeat vibe of this album even if Femi Kati is a nepo baby

Every single one of these songs sounded exactly the same and I am not here for it

🎉🎉 In this house we listen to Taylor’s Version, but we’ll make an exception for 1001 Albums. This is one of those albums that’s 1) full of bangers 2) lyrically awesome and 3) reminiscent of a very specific and important time in my life. Love it, top to bottom.

Pretty chill bossa nova background music! I enjoyed it.

If The Postal Service grew up and married Devotchka and was best friends with Moby and Architecture in Helsinki

I had only ever heard Come On Eileen by this band, which I love, so I'm not surprised that I really enjoyed this album! I love the incorporation of the horns - almost every song on this album is a bop.

I enjoyed the bops like "You Be Illin" and "It's Tricky" but the rest of this album was just not to my liking. To each their own!

Good, solid, classic work from the Smiths.

Born to Run might genuinely be the best song of all time

I can appreciate how fans of this genre would really enjoy this album, but that’s just not me.

This was just like listening to an hour of vaguely melodic noise

This was nice to have on while doing some morning chores on a gray day. Probably comes closest to "would relisten" out of all the hip hop/rap albums I've had through 1001 Albums so far.

This album felt like taking a sedative, in a good way

Two Nick Drake albums in a row! My previous assessment holds - this music feels like being on sedatives

Middle school nostalgia vibes. I can see why the first three songs are the only ones that they put on the NOW! albums.

What in the world did I just listen to

Such a wonderfully nostalgic soft spot for Joan Armatrading -- more music from my childhood.

Definitely some shades of Beatles in here - "The Long and Winding Road" / "How?", "Honey Pie" / "Crippled Inside", a reference to Sgt. Pepper, etc. Interesting choices for a man who famously didn't want anything to do with the Beatles anymore.

I mean, who doesn't love Blister in the Sun? Wish the whole album were like that, but unfortunately it's not -- I guess I can see some proto-Mountain Goats here, but I just don't love when it seems like the lead singer of a band is bad on purpose.

Shades of Huey Lewis and the News, a little bit of Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, etc. Cool early '80s vibes.

This man was HORNY!

Not really sure what to make of this one. I didn't dislike it, I guess, but I certainly didn't like it either.

Led Zeppelin are classic for a reason! This is the kind of music we listen to around the house anyway -- I enjoyed this album. :)

Songs like poems -- very much of the 1960s. Kind of a sad, melancholy album.

Nice to have on as background music for doing chores and cleaning up. As I'm not a big tango fan it was hard for me to see what makes this album stand out as a 1001er.

I liked this one! Very much in the vein of the fun 1970s rock we listen to around the house.

Shades of the Police and Mana. I feel like I have this bias against U2 for being smarmy but I can totally see how this was a major rock album in the early 1980s.

I don't know why this reminds me of Godspell / Jesus Christ Superstar?? Piano, flute, electric guitar, early '70s vibes, religious content...

If this album existed in a vacuum, sure, I'm into it -- I particularly like the piano/Americana tracks (vs electric guitar/weird stuff). But knowing what I know about how weird Jack White is and given the terrible show of his I went to...meh.

Interesting ambient (?) music - not even really sure what you'd call this genre. Of course I knew 'Sexy Boy' from 10 Things I Hate About You but the rest was new to me. Not an unpleasant listen!

YES, QUEEN. Epic album, epic voice, epic woman.

I love the B-52s for how weird and kitschy and unselfconscious they are. Bops up and down this album.

Not a whole lot to say about this album - it was fine. I liked that it didn't really fit into a particular genre.

Who doesn't love Oye Como Va? I hadn't heard any of the other songs on this album, though, and I enjoyed them -- cool beats, neat piano parts.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, is that you? I loved the upbeat vibes of this album and would definitely re-listen.

I don't think this album was written with me in mind. It's not the worst thing I've ever listened to but I didn't quite know what to make of it.

Rock star! I enjoyed this album and I was surprised to -- I appreciate how revolutionary this music and this artist would have been at the time. I also have a little nostalgic spot for the extreme '80s-ness of this album, complete with MIDI. :)

Got to listen to this one on vinyl since it's already in our collection! Classic album, good college nostalgia vibes, great sound.

Some classics on here -- solid 1970s rock vibes.

A neat punk/rock sound from the 70s.

I dig this album! Not usually the kind of thing I would pick up to listen to but I like the smooth vibes and vocals.

I enjoy this kind of jazz - just something nice and low-key to have on in the background, not anything pretentious or showy or too "jazzed up."

Not into this

Tracy Chapman's music hurts my heart in the best way.

Not unenjoyable! I like the alternative vibe they have going on.

I mean, yes, sure? Fine to have on in the background, very shoegaze/ambient.

Always down for some Pet Shop Boys!

It's so interesting to hear where exactly in time an album was located and who the band's contemporary influences must have been (or who they must have influenced later on). In this album I hear the Beatles, Aerosmith, Elvis, etc -- good early 1970s vibes.

Sure, I guess. Not anything I would come back to, but it's fine.

"I see something of myself in everyone." <3

I very much like this mix of folk, indie, Americana, etc -- and some beautiful harmonies going on throughout this album as well.

Who doesn't like Aretha?!

Most of this George Michael content was new to me -- I really enjoyed it!

Remind me to add this album to my roster of things I can do to mediate anxiety.

I like "Glamour Boys" but could take or leave the rest of the album

This is an album full of screaming and that little fucking organ plinking away. It's not NOT good, but it's also not my favorite thing to listen to.

Good old Talking Heads <3

I liked this one! Kind of a mix between Joan Armatrading and the early 1990s R&B that I'm familiar with. Also reminded me of the kind of thing my mom might like. :)

Just crying my face off listening to this album. Five stars.

Eh. Too much 1960s hippie weirdness for me, and that's saying something!

My whole brain just yelled NO NO NO NO NO for the duration of this album

Who doesn't love the Who? I hadn't heard a live album of theirs before and enjoyed this one.

I did like that not every song on this album sounded the same -- as far as hip-hop goes for me, a decent album to have on in the morning for breakfast and chores.

Not a particularly pleasant listen but I can see myself having been into it as an angsty teen

This is my kind of album! Sad indie boy makes good acoustic music. <3

Good music, shitty person.

Yes please!

Sure, I could be into this -- I liked the incorporation of found audio

Okay! Classic Bollywood vibes -- I think this is the first soundtrack that I've come across on the 1001 list.

Grunge daddies!

Not my cup of tea, but I can see the value and artistry in this album

I'm not sure if I'd give this one another listen, but it was enjoyable while I was listening to it

Sure! I like world music as much as the next guy

Well that was unpleasant

Welp. This, from the Wikipedia article, should tell you all you need to know about how I feel about this album -- "Dr. Octagon is an extraterrestrial surgeon from Jupiter who uses space technology and primitive tools to perform medical procedures on his patients, some of whom die as he conducts his rounds, while others are murdered by his careless, barbaric acts. Octagon also practices as an orthopaedic gynaecologist and seduces and engages in sexual intercourse with his female patients and nurses." Also this album is obsessed with the word "rectum"

Who doesn't like Marvin Gaye?

Some bangers on this album, like 'Girls' and 'Fight for Your Right,' but otherwise this just isn't my jam.

Hooked from the first ten seconds of the first song. Sweet voice, sweet lyrics, sweet fiddle. Would absolutely listen again.

World music always nice to listen to

Yeah, it's fine. I like it more than a lot of the other rap albums I've listened to on here so far, but I still don't think I'd put it on just to listen to for fun.

I mean, fine for what it is -- essentially a jam album. It's just not MY jam.

As usual, jazz isn't my thing, but I don't hate it

Very Bryn Mawr vibes <3

The one good thing I can say for this album was that it was easy to tune out

Meh

Love me some ELO! And Mr. Blue Sky is one of the happiest songs ever written. :)

Jazz, as usual, is not my jam but I can see how others appreciate it :)

I can appreciate a vocal cover album!

Aaaaargh

I mean, it's Rod Stewart

Who doesn't like the Who?

Aw, Joni Mitchell. This is very much the kind of thing I was listening to in high school - nostalgia vibes.

Who doesn’t get down to CCR?

Hm, interesting! A decent album to have on in the background for working and doing chores.

You know, I really just don't need sex audio interspersed throughout the album I'm listening to. Really don't.

Sure, kinda Bob Marley vibes. I can dig it.

A good background album; I like REM's vibes.

How much of a classic is 'Maps'?! Enjoyed the rest of the album as well

Not an unpleasant sound - just long!

Despite the fact that I don't generally care for R&B, this album sat right with me!

I really enjoyed the ethereal, electronic vibes of this album

It's a classic for a reason! Who doesn't love an epic LoTR song?

More Miles Davis - as far as jazz goes, I love it!

I liked this sound! Sort of punk, sort of ska, neat to listen to.

Good sturdy old familiar standards. Enjoyed this

Too much disco for one sitting

Classic Led Zep! Wish I had had time at home today to listen on our record player, but had to settle for internet radio :(

Classic 1970s rock in the style of Led Zeppelin, etc. It was fine!

I fucking love Loretta Lynn

I liked it! Breaking Bad vibes. :)

Sure! This was fine for a Monday morning in the office

Who doesn't like Elliott Smith? Very moody, very acoustic, very high school

Fine for some background music (?) as I was knocking out some work tasks, but not anything I'll come back to

LOVE Dire Straits

Who doesn't enjoy the Strokes?

Not really my kind of music -- I just don't think I understand this kind of jazz or have the patience for it.

Fine, interesting alt-indie-rock sound -- but probably not something I'll come back to

No thanks

I liked this one! What an interesting sound

Good lord, this is a long album - but I like Outkast and particularly how they incorporate horns/swing sounds into their music. I also like that Andre 3000 is one of the only rappers I can recognize by their voice!

Janis Joplin isn't my jam but I can appreciate how this album was groundbreaking when it came out!

Not a fan - some of this content was too violent for me

Love me some David Bowie

Sure! I like me some late 1970s British rock

YAASSSS David Byrne slaaaay. Glad to have gotten to listen to today's album on vinyl :)

I mean, I guess. It didn't strike any particular chord with me.

Leonard Cohen is nice but most of his songs sound the same to me (at least today)

Meh, whatever

I get why people like it, but it's not for me

Yes!! This is exactly my type of oldies for a Monday morning. :)

I won't come back to this album, but it was fine during the time I spent with it

An interesting and new sound for me

An interesting way to spend an hour or so, but not an album I'll come back to

It's a classic for a reason!! <3

I'm sorry but I can't stand Portishead

Okay, sure

It's the Kinks - what's not to like? Good late '60s / early '70s British vibe

I...well...I hate this

Yay!! An excellent album. Was pleased to get to listen to this to kick off the weekend

I didn't really understand this album but at least it was relatively short

This is barely music

Seeds of Daft Punk here - nice to have on in the background as I got some stuff done around the house

Did not love, did not hate

I enjoyed this album! Some Elton John classics mixed in with some deeper cuts

Who doesn't like REM? And Nightswimming is one of the prettiest songs ever written

Yep!

Kind of a lot to put up with for an hour+

It was okay. Kind of all sounded the same

Very pretty; I like this a lot. Shades of Vampire Weekend and Billie the Vision and the Dancers

Little baby George Michael! I like this vibe

Interesting! Not the kind of thing I would have discovered on my own so I appreciated this album

What a delight to listen to Tapestry on a gray and chilly Friday morning. Love Carole, will always love Carole.

Nothing will ever make me like The Doors

Just had another Belle & Sebastian album a few days ago and enjoyed that one -- I liked this one too! Cool indie vibe

An unenjoyable listen

Just a little too much on the funk-y side for me

Who doesn't like Elton John?

Good old Tom Waits - I enjoyed this album

Not as good as Speakerboxxx / The Love Below, but not totally unenjoyable

Good lord, this was a long album - but I enjoy bluegrass / Americana and liked this one

Yeah, it was fine. Wouldn't choose to listen to it again but it was fine while it lasted

I don't really know what to make of this album

Not bad as far as jazz goes

Music of my generation! I enjoyed this

This isn't really my kind of music but it's relatively inoffensive

This just sounds like noise to me

A timely choice what with the recent death of Brian Wilson. Gotta love the Beach Boys.

Good wholesome 1960s vibes

Not really my style, but not horrible

Not usually the kind of music I’d choose to listen to but I liked this album! Really interesting beats, lyrics, etc

Very Men Without Hats, which I have a soft spot for

Ugh, no thank you

<eye roll>

I liked this! Fiona has a really beautiful voice and a good range.

This isn't a sound I would pick for myself, but I like it!

Eh, not really my jam

Jack White has his whole head up his ass but this is not a bad album

Good ol' early Queen -- I enjoyed the sound and vibe of this album

Reminds me of the music Mom used to listen to when I was a kid. <3

Wasn't a Doors fan before this album and am not a Doors fan after

I actually really like this album - what a fun, funky, weird, creepy vibe.

R&B continues not to be my genre

What a strange little Brechtian album. Not one of these songs has a normal time signature

Not really my genre but not unenjoyable

Straight baller

Meh

Very '80s Paul Simon - what else can I say?

Neat, funky, chill

Love Talking Heads!

Really the only context in which I'm familiar with this album is the thing where you play it at the same time as The Wizard of Oz and it weirdly lines up. Interesting to listen to without that accompaniment

You have got to be kidding me. How did this make it onto the 1001 Albums list

Meh, fine. Radiohead just isn't my jam

It's fine. I like early Bowie more

This sound just isn't really my thing at all

Not unenjoyable! I liked these beats and this vibe

Yep!!

Meh

Little Green punched me right in the gut. I love Joni Mitchell

What an album to listen to when I was already feeling melancholy -- it made me cry

Another melancholy, heart-tugging album. Sigh <3

An album full of bangers

Groovy AF

Punk vibes for days

This was nice to zone out to and do some busywork tasks to

I like this a lot! The kind of music I might have enjoyed in high school

Had to skip 'Isn't She Lovely' but otherwise an album full of joyful bangers

Good 1970s psychedelia

I liked this! Cool vibes

An album full of happy nostalgic bops

Too spooky for me

Classic vintage-style Cuban / Latin American music - a good one!

It was okay - not my cup of tea but I see why people enjoy it

I had never heard of this band or this album but I liked it - seems ahead of its time in some way

I liked it! An interesting sound

Didn't love it, didn't hate it

Some interesting sounds on here but nothing that really stuck out to me

I had never heard anything off this album other than Running Up That Hill and I'm actually really into it

Jazz isn't my thing, but I can appreciate how this was a seminal album for the genre

Meh. No thank you

Eh, not super into it

Come on, man

A perfect album. 10/10, no notes.

I could take it or leave it

Ughhhhh

This isn't for me

This was okay, but nothing that I feel I'm going to listen to again

If God has a voice, it's that of Nina Simone.

These are the kind of oldies I love. Also Little Richard sang the theme song to the Magic School Bus so how can you not love him??

Meh. This doesn't do it for me

I knew from the album art that I was not going to like this music and I was correct

Classic early '60s oldies - a little too early to be right up my alley, but enjoyable nonetheless

I still think Bob Dylan is too full of himself for his own good, but this album hits hard right now - particularly Masters of War

This isn't my favorite - but I didn't, like, HATE it

Jazz continues not to be my thing but this was not unpleasant to listen to - just long!

I liked it! A bunch of Bob Marley songs I hadn't known before, which was enjoyable

A little spare for me -- add a bass! or a drum line! or harmonies! -- but not unpleasant

I liked this! I hadn't heard much Lou Reed before and dug it

Meh. Not super into it

It was okay, and you know I love the 1970s rock era, but it didn't grab me

Not my genre but not unpleasant

Didn't love it, didn't hate it

Meh, I'm not super hot for Pink Floyd

The exact kind of 1970s vibe that I really like

All these songs sounded the same to me but I can see how this band and this album were ahead of their time
