1001 Albums Summary

Nice!

One of my alltime favorites, I have seen The Who live 5-6 times, and heard them perform most of this album live.

I do not expect harmonic sophistication from ethnic music, but I do expect it to be rhythmically interesting. This was not.

I expected to dislike this, and I was very surprised at how much I liked it, I would give it 4.5 stars if you would let me do so, because I want to save 5 stars for really great things like "Who's Next."

Nice live album.

My daughter loves Stevens and gave me a CD of his for my birthday. But I have never been able to get into his rather formless and inartful pieces.

Punk is not my thing, I find it mindless and uninteresting.

"Slut-rap" may be my least favorite genre of modestly organized noise. I listened to almost all of it, and hated every second.

David Bowie was a very talented artist, I enjoyed this.

More punk stuff, I am not a fan.

I remembered and enjoyed the song "Time of the Season," but the rest of the album was forgettable.

The best part of the album was the cover, otherwise forgettable.

It didn't do anything for me.

I like this, it was interesting and different.

Great album! Have loved it for over 50 years.

There are 2-3 Beatles albums I like more than Abbey Road, but that doesn't mean AR is not a masterpiece which I love as well.

Pretty good album, before Dylan became to self-important to impress.

Early British invasion, of mostly historical interest.

Stevie Wonder is a national treasure. Between 1966 and 1982 he wrote dozens of fantastic songs.

Gabriel is a genius! I love much of his music.

A little dated, but still pretty nice in spots.

Lennon and McCartney was one of the greatest songwriting teams of the past century, but neither of them was very good on his own.
