Kind of dull and flat for my taste
Beautiful
Not really a fan of Dr Suess music. Kind of amusing though
Took me 50 years to finally listen to Velvet Underground thanks to this project and it’s kind of what I expected, loose and out of tune with some interesting moments, just ok for me. I know that they’re a big influence to many of my own influences but it’s really just not my cup of tea.
First time hearing these guys. I like it
Some kind of Electronic/Dance/Hip hop/reggae hybrid. Well done.
Mostly electronic mellow instrumentals fitting for nap time. The two songs that do have vocals have a prehistoric punk rock type of sound. Weird
Big band Swing, Jazz and Blues performed by a master and his orchestra. Smooth, beautiful and amazing
Willie doing a bunch of old pop standards from the American Songbook. Beautiful, ethereal and wonderfully performed like never before with moments that can bring you to tears, a great album.
Pretty good, many different sounds, from medieval pop to blues, not what I expected.Bryan Ferry is a very capable frontman.Some really cool guitar stuff.
Good solid rockin’ live album
Jeff Becks first solo record is great heavy British blues rock. Some amazing guitar sounds, and the Rod Stewart vocals are pretty cool.
My first exposure to Prince. I need a few more listens to better evaluate it., long album. I like some of it and some of it I can’t wait to end. Theres one constant annoyance in that the fake drums are too loud in the mix in my opinion, otherwise pretty good I guess.
This one is kind of strange. Basically singer/songwriter folk music with some nice finger picked guitar. Some of the songs are pretty good and at times have an interesting otherworldly sound. The vocals are a problem for me, his delivery for the most part is fine for the material but at times it can get downright annoying. I may come back to this.
Rudimentary rock, too much screaming and noise for my taste.
Great blues, Muddy Waters featuring Johnny Winter and James Cotton. I was lucky enough to catch the tour to support this album twice. A classic.
Excellent pop/rock album.
This pretty much sucks. Depressive feeling sorry for myself lyrics with lousy cry baby singing (whining)over weak music. Who listens to this crap?
My first exposure XTC. Having a hard time classifying this one. Good vocals backed by orchestrated soft progressive I guess. I like it.
Iconic album, labeled as the birth of Progressive Rock, some great stuff here although”Moonchild” and” I talk to the Wind” tend to put me to sleep. Five stars for originality
Kiddie heavy metal, boy what stupid fucking lyrics even by Metal standards . The playing is decent, they even managed to throw some blues into the mix. Worst thing about it is that the production is pretty lousy, sounds like they’re playing in a cave. I would have loved this when I was 13.
Electronic music suitable for dancing I suppose. Good production, well executed but very repetitious. It’s just not for me.
I must admit this is my first time hearing a Stevie Wonder album. A+ production, writing and performance.
One of the best albums by the Worlds Greatest Rock Band
Great country music from a great country artist
There were a lot of disputes about Metallicas direction when this came out. The songs are shorter and maybe a bit on the commercial side but nonetheless a great album.
My first time listening to the Smashing Pumpkins. I like some of it especially the heavier stuff which is more accommodating to the lousy vocals. I’m surprised I made it through the whole two hours which I guess says something good about it. Cool cover.
The Doors debut album. A classic
Haven’t heard of these guys until now. Sort of sounds like if the Beatles were a punk/garage band at times. Ok rock band I reckon but not something I’d seek out
I remember a couple of these songs being played to death on the radio years ago. Boring kiddie rock.
I got scared when I saw Wilco for the 2nd time only 30 albums in as I hated the first album I listened to. This was a pleasant surprise being a reinterpretation of Woody Guthrie songs by Billy Bragg with Wilco as backing band.
Probably the worst album I’ve ever heard. Is this a joke? Since I started the 1001 this is the first one I had to take off because I couldn’t take it any more
Some kind of alternative I guess. Interesting at times, I like this.
Cool soul music
California country rock. Just ok for me, nothing stands out.
My first exposure to Captain Beefheart. Mixed feelings on this. Although there’s some interesting playing musically on this, there’s also a fair share of noise and the vocal parts can be stupidly annoying at times
I listened to two tracks and took it off. I’m not a fan of this genre but was willing to give it a shot, unfortunately (perhaps fortunately) I can’t relate to these lyrics at all. Too negative and filthy for me
80’s rock with an orchestra. I fell asleep listening to it but what I heard was ok.
I don’t know anything about African music but this is pretty cool
Top shelf R&B/ soul album. I listened to the deluxe edition which included a concert from the Whisky a Go Go in 1968. The studio album was good, probably would have gave it a 4 but the live stuff was really cooking, hence the 5
The Temptations, classic R&B but this album was just ok for me
Excellent folk/rock album. 5 stars for American Pie and Vincent alone and most of the rest is pretty good as well
I’m surprised I’ve never heard of this guy until now. I’m not sure where to go with this after one listen, I need more time with it to give it a fair evaluation. Definitely caught my attention but I need to dissect it some more. Sounds like a soundtrack for a nightmare , a horror house, or a descent into madness. One thing for sure is its one of a kind. I’m going with a 4 for now for creeping me out.
British pop/rock, kind of dull for me
There’s some great songs here and some I can live without. I think it would work better as a single album with some of the filler omitted
My first time hearing this guy. Kind of boring, I’m not really into the whining thing
My first time hearing Bjork, not at all what I expected. I’m impressed
The birth of Heavy Metal and their greatest recording
How this sloppy noise is influential to anyone is beyond me.
Soft jazz/ soul /rock aptly done but not too exciting.
Electronic music, too repetitious for me. Good for dancing or background maybe.
Talking Heads debut album, fun stuff, great early new wave
Commercial jazz/rock. These guys are great players, the recording is crisp and clean but the songs bore the hell out of me
More whiny alt rock. Just can’t get into it
First time listening to a Coltrane album. Although there’s some amazing playing going on here it gets tedious after 20 minutes.
Stupid fucking kiddie metal. Garbage
This album made me want to shut it off but I endured it until the bitter end. Boring
A classic and my favorite Hendrix album.
I like this. These guys have a different sound and are amusing as well as musical
Patti Smiths debut album, pretty cool and original but somewhat overrated
Generic 90s rock. I like some of the slower stuff while some of this gave me a headache
My first time listening to this guy. The lyrics are amazing but the music is kind of repetitive and Cohens singing doesn’t do it for me, he sounds like such a drag, but I guess it’s the writing thats the attraction here
Electronic crap
Generic rock , nothing too exciting here for me
First time listening to Funkadelic. I like some of it, not too fond of the silliness
I haven’t heard this album in 30 years and listening to it now it’s not as good as I remembered
My favorite Pantera album-a new level of confidence and power
Not a big Springsteen fan to begin with but this one is extra dull
My favorite Billy Joel album. Some great songs on this.
Electronic background music. Very repetitious.
Scottish new wave, meh
Good vocals, well backed and great production. Disco was never my thing but I know quality when I hear it.
Great reggae
I have no idea what this film was about and I’ve never heard of Air until now. I suppose this would be good music for a mystery or a supernatural film, I just don’t get what puts it on this list
Annoying off key canaries. Why would I need to hear this before I die?
I haven’t heard this guy before this. Interesting voice and sound, good writer
First time hearing a War album, I’ve previously only had radio exposure to them. Pretty good soul/ rock
More electronic dance music only this time it’s extra boring. Hard to evaluate this repetitious sleep inducer
My first time hearing this beginning to end. Good Doors album.
Original sounding band, I don’t know what kind of music this is trying to be. Not terrible but not for me.
This album reeks of 60s. Some good stuff. I’ve only heard the hits before this.
More Indie/Alt/ Pop music. All these bands sound the same to me. These guys are ok I guess if you like this type of stuff.
Boring
Electronic dance music, this thing is all over the place, African, latin, hip hop? Theres even a hoe down
Peter Gabriels debut album. Good start
A couple of decent tracks along with some noise, screaming and sloppy playing
I couldn’t find a complete edition of this Algerian music. Started off good with a traditional sounding song which was pretty cool but when it turned into a pip album It started to annoy me after the 4th song.
Good solid rock album. Very reminiscent of Bowie.
I usually have no use for punk but I actually enjoyed this. Maybe it’s the sax.
2nd Smashing Pumpkins since I started this gig. Song structure and guitar sound is good although the leads are weak and sloppy for the most part , the drummer is excellent. This would be a lot better if the singer didn’t blow.
I don’t know what this is or who it’s for. It’s like jazz fusion crossed with elevator music. The too laid back vocals and juvenile lyrics just bored the crap out of me. The Bass player kicks ass but he needs a better veichle for his talent
I generally dislike punk but being that these guys actually try to play their instruments it was a lot more tolerable than a lot of the other bands in this genre that I’ve been subjected to . Too bad the recording/mix sucks, I wouldn’t listen to it again
Some kind of Futuristic jazz/rap, pretty cool, great singer
Electronic synth music in French and English, well done but boring and repetitive
Heavy metal infused with a bit of rap. I used to play the hell out of this when it came out. It has aged well
After laying down the rules of Metal with their debut, Black Sabbath released this their second release, easily one of the greatest metal albums of all time, cementing their place as the true inventors of the genre. A favorite of mine for sure.
Amazingly cool live jazz
Good musicians, vocals and harmonies are interesting and well done,but overall it bored the hell out of me
My first exposure to African blues. Pretty cool
More dull Indie music. No wonder I was only buying Metal and blues in the 2000s. Well produced but boring. Sounds like the singers are falling asleep
First time listening to this band. Its ok but a bit noisy at times.
I was ready for another suck electronic album but this is actually pretty cool and interesting. Electronic meets progressive with some Zappa sensibilities
My first time listening to these guys. I like the spooky stuff.
One of Zimmermans best
Psychedelic hippie blues. Not bad but nothing amazing
53 years later I’m finally hearing McCartneys first solo album. Pretty good.
Pretenders debut album. Great start
Standard issue boring punk garage rock
Ok Reggae
Just ok for me, kind of boring
This one holds up better than “In Utero” did. Probably their best album
I can’t relate to the lyrics and find the filthy language stupid and unnecessary
I liked this better than the last Beck album that was generated, it’s not terrible just too dreary for me. Yawn
Classic album
British R&B/ Rap. I usually don’t listen to rap but this isn’t too foul, I actually like some of it.
Motörhead live in England, good stuff
