Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 10 2024

good, innovative stuff that still sounds good in 2024, but quite long

Jan 11 2024

With radiohead going weird and off the grid with kid a this was coldplays chance to take up the thoughtful modern rock mantle and they do a fine job of it. While I am no fan of the band this album works very well, particularly the front loaded first half, with In My Place being the best song they've made.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 12 2024

Stone cold, stoned, cold, classic.

25 by Adele
Jan 15 2024

Extremely frontloaded and some of the most overplayed songs of all time, but a solid album

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 16 2024

Listened a million times as a kid, still sounds great today. what a voice.

Jan 17 2024

Def not one of the top 1001 albums, who decided this should be on the list? not unlistenable, but very unremarkable.

Vivid by Living Colour
Jan 18 2024

great stuff. impossible to categorize, lots of fun

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 19 2024

a few all timer killer tracks, way too much chaff

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 22 2024

Really great listen, been years, forgot what a vibe this is. Sucker for anything with a melodica

Jan 23 2024

Wow loved this one. Very happy to have discovered it here. So much to discover in this album, def needs many listens.

Jan 25 2024

What is this this garbage how did this make any list of anything.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jan 29 2024

Great great stuff. Almost impossible to overstate his influence on rock and pop music. Sad he's never gotten the credit he deserves

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 30 2024

Feel silly for not listening to this before. No better album for a bad time.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 31 2024

had never heard of this album or group before. guess there's a reason for that.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 01 2024

almost 30 years later and every album still tries to sound like this

Feb 02 2024

A pleasure to listen to. Gets bumped an entire star just for passin me by, one of the greatest hip hop songs ever written.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 05 2024

For 99% of other artists this would be their unquestioned masterpiece. For Bowie, it's just another album. Absolutely loaded with hits.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 06 2024

dreck. sounds like a worse version of hermans hermits. Clapton was overrated from the get go.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Feb 08 2024

One star each for baby one more time and you drive me crazy, the rest, not so much.

Destroyer by KISS
Feb 09 2024

Joke band but one of their better albums

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Feb 13 2024

Thought this would be an easy 5, I mean, the weight alone would make this a 3 star album, but honestly I prefer dylans original basement tapes versions better than these. Love him but there's too much danko falsetto on here. Not my favorite by the band but still a classic.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 14 2024

This was a nice surprise, I like her later work but hadn't heard this one.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 15 2024

A little rickety, very derivative, but still a hell of a debut album.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 16 2024

A concept album that only covers one side while the second side is random singles, kind of funny.

Sea Change by Beck
Feb 19 2024

Lovely. Beck fella has talent

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 20 2024

Massive, monster of an album, one of the best records of the 70s. one of those albums you could teach an entire course on. Even better on versions that include the non-album single Punky Reggae Party

Feb 21 2024

Another gd prodigy album? Only listing 1001 albums ever made and TWO of them are prodigy albums? What a joke.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Feb 22 2024

Hey something different! Enjoyed this a lot wish this list had more stuff like this

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 23 2024

Really liked this! Especially side 2

Hotel California by Eagles
Feb 26 2024

Singles are bad and the album tracks too. Gets an extra star for victim of love, which is good.

Feb 27 2024

I respect people's differing opinions on music but you shouldnt trust anyone who doesn't love this album with their whole soul.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Feb 29 2024

Morrissey makes pretty effortlessly easy to listen music but this felt like very little effort and some predictably atrocious lyrics

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Mar 01 2024

this was pretty good, very well made, catchy, nice mix of genres. didn't need to be so long though

Moving Pictures by Rush
Mar 04 2024

Great great album, loses a point for having a weaker second half

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 05 2024

Took me several attempts over this years but this time it just clicked for me! I get it now, great stuff.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Mar 06 2024

Furs just never did anything for me, in one ear out the other, a xerox of better bands

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 11 2024

Good album

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 12 2024

great album! didn't hit me as hard as unknown pleasures and a bit too long but i totally get why this is such a big deal.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 13 2024

Probably not fair this came after disintegration on my list but still didn't do anything for me

Real Life by Magazine
Mar 14 2024

It's fine I guess

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Mar 15 2024

Pretty cool how back then you could make an entire career out of playing dylan songs

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 18 2024

Not a fan of the who but this is good stuff

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Mar 20 2024

This was really good for a genre I struggle with. Everything was clear and tight very fun.

Mar 21 2024

Always nice to hear John's voice, a good chance to see what he's like untethered from McCartney's discipline.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Mar 22 2024

Had to turn it off after 20 minutes of a very poor cover of who do you love.
