1001 Albums Summary

Quintessential 90's rock. No surprises but steady beats help the album flow from beginning to end. I felt they saved the best song for last

This album is a party! Uplifting and soulful music from beginning to end. One of the greats at his peak - highly recommend

Perfect album to listen to while needing some groovy tunes to finish some mind numbing work.

Love this album! Great tunes by a foundational group

Easy to understand why this record was lauded as one of the best in the 21st century and won many awards. There is a warmth to songs that don't necessarily reflect the lyrics.

Surprisingly refreshing and creative. I enjoyed the electronic grooves and sounds of the album.

Didn't realize so many bangers were on the album

Better than anticipated

Always puts me in a good mood- love this album!

Fav

Classic for a reason

Always enjoy listening ing to this one

Enjoyed this chill, uplifting album

Early works providing foundation for career

Can't belive this was their debut album. Perfection!

This album is a party. After listening, it's easy to understand why his style influenced so many artists- It's infectious!

First song was great and downhill from there..

Humble beginnings- great album

Felt like a time machine back to the 70s.

Being made into a Broadway show for a reason

One of my all time favorites

All hail the Queen

Meh

What a range of emotions. I didn't realize the album was a double disc, it seemed to mostly blend together after a while.

5 stars for J5

Upbeat and fun

One of my all time favorites!

Groovilicious

Hold my breath as I wish for death. Oh please God, wake me..

What a way to break into the music scene- Great album!

Sounded just like Velvet Underground. Not a bad thing but just not as original as it's made out to be..

Isn't it iconic, er, ironic don't ya think?

Danceable, fresh beats(at the time) with an attitude. Love it!

Can't help it, if I wanted to.. must give high marks to this awesome album.

Jazzy

I'm now wide awake. No need for the extra cup of coffee, just listen to this!

What a crooner! Lovely voice and dreamt music

Danced my whole way through this amazing album!

Soulful, smooth, and sexy

4.5 Not a huge fan of running, but this album is great!

What I expected but not awful

Looooooooooove

Trippy

Instantly in a good mood :)

Fun, creative, and sexy in only the way Janelle Monae can make it.

One of the best!

Decent!

Rock!

Enjoyable

Loved it!

Loved it!

Classic Kinks

Felt like a top hits album!

This album fucking rocks!

Rest of the album doesn't live up to the first song (sans street fighter man)

Boowwwiieeee

Meh

Didn't have a chance to listen fully at this time but high remarks for what I heard!

Many of the songs on the album are still frequently played in 2024 and may be considered timeless as years go on..

What makes this special?

Cant help but love it!

Meh - shoulder shrug

An album of its time.

Super glad this album is on this list- loving the 80s rock vibes

Their sound is clearly from the early 90s UK push into mainstream radio

Enjoyable on a summer day

Like it's even a question. 5 stars!

Okay. There were some unexpected sauce songs but overall just decent

No.

I knew a few songs beforehand so it felt akin to a movie preview that shows the only interesting parts of the film to get you to watch. Not bad but not amazing.

This album makes me feel like a natural woman.

Love the horns, funk, and fun!

Running up hills? No thanks but this album isn't as terrible as forced exercise

I liked this more than I anticipated! Will listen to them more often

Smashing!

Fun!

I just never got on the ABBA train but will admit they have some well crafted songs.

So many great cameos and interesting songs. Didn't realize it was 2 hours but I enjoyed it all! If you don't like this album your heart is cold. How cold? Ice cold.

Another great debut album!

Boring Beck- introspective but lacked soul.

Had me grooving only the way beastie boys can do

5 star- Zero doubts

Cant go wrong

Felt the punk energy and loved it

Hell yes!

Not my favorite Traffic album but still good.

Love love love!!

Money is the root of all evil today and the Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best albums of all time.

Primus without the funk that Les Clapool brings..

Instantly in a better mood!

Grooving, dancing, vibing to this album

In heavens name why .. wouldn't this get 5 stars. All love to Sade!

Catchy

Wilco.

Not worth listening to the whole album

Not worth listening to the whole album

One of my all-time favorites

Different than other albums on this list. Some catchy tunes but it didn't grab my attention or get me to listen more closely as the album played on.

Underwhelming

Yyyeeeesssss!!!

Some good tunes

Why is this album on the list?

Rhymes and rhythms smoooooth as butter

Love that this is self-titled "Clit rock".. power to the ladies who rock!

Solid album and easily a go to when I'm searching for something that only Neil can give

RIP

Iggy Pop has a signature sound but this missed the mark

Officially spellbound by this album

Iconic. I can hear the colorful vision she had for her career and loved listening to this album!

Wish I liked Tom Waits but I don't.. couldn't listen past the 3rd song

1 decent song.. maybe I'm missing something but doesn't seem worthy of this list.

Biased bc I love prog rock. Dug this album!

What I expected

I went straight to my record player to listen because it was already queued up. This is a masterpiece and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

More enjoyable than anticipated!

😎😎😎

Dancing and singing to songs in the key of life comes easily. Stevie is a master songwriter and performer

Typical for the time. Good but nothing mind blowing

One of my top 10 albums. Part nostalgia, part unique sound, and part creativity. Love ❤️

Joni takes me away to a better place when listening to her beautiful and creative music. Blue is easily one of the best albums created.

Classic crooner.

Willing to give credit to where it's due and giving this album 5 stars because of the long lasting impact it's made on those who grew up alongside it's release.

Meh

Loved the funky yet prog rockiness of the album. Pleasantly surprised

I love Pharrell but not sure about some of the colllabs on this album

Couldn't get into it

Hell. Yes.

Memories abound with this album.

Did not listen out of protest and giving one star to try reducing the average score.

Good background music

Absolutely adored her voice and patsy cline style.

Very Dylan-esque.

Like it but didn't LOVE it

If I'm going to listen to the Cure, this is what I'll turn on.

Not a Police fan. Was not persuaded to change my mind after listening to this album.

Waste of my precious time listening to this album. I tried to get in the spirit but it was a fruitless effort. PASS.

Not my fav Radoohead album but better than others I've heard on this list..

Some songs were Zappa-esque but otherwise nothing too special. Wonder what album was booted from the list to make space for this one

Can't deny their greatness!

This album holds a special place in my heart. I know it's not the most groundbreaking in style but there are some good ass songs on this album!

My feeble brain is not capable of describing the beauty and flow this album set as a precedent for all to follow.

Can't think of a more perfect way to capture the reggae spirit and instantly feel at ease. One of my favorite s!

No question about this one: 5 stars. George's heart, soul, faith, tenderness, and unique creative perspective shines through any preconceived notions of "just another Beatles album". RIP George

Mostly bops that are hard to turn off when started.

No words. Just rock.

Okay but not recommending as a go-to album

Another album of it's era (in the best way possible). Love the contrast of vocal harmonies and heaviness of the music. Bless 90s rock

Long time listener, first time caller.. I've heard the singles a bazillion times and expected the rest of the album to be carried by those tunes. I was pleasantly surprised with this album

Giving this album a skeptical squint or sideye.

Wasn't sure what to expect and once again, pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this album. The flow, featured artists, topics covered - Stellar!

Enjoyed the rock and Queenness of this album

I like Nick Drake's flow and voice, though majority of his songs sound the same.

As many long, strange trips the Dead has taken, was there any doubt how well crafted and timeless the songs on this album have proven to be? No. 5 stars!

Had to keep reminding myself this was from the early 70s because there is a newness feel of this album that was surely inspiration for many artists

I wish someone would ask me to stay for tea and have some fun.. absolutely love this album!

I dont understand the hype of Coldplay

Did not age well though I have to give some credit for it's impact on pop culture

There are songs on this album that live rent free in my head and randomly pop up. Considering their debut album took different styles of music and mashed it together in a way that resonated with ppl worldwide is impressive (even if it's not my go-to genre).

Classic R&B

If someone scoffs at Bjork, have them listen to this album. It's creative, primal, beautiful, and infectious.

Jeff Lynn = Musical genius.

Welcome to the jungle, sweet child of mine. Mr. Brownstone wont leave us alone until takie him down to Paradise City. We'll just take the night train and look out for Michelle.

No denying the group defining songs on this album! Great listen

Hot for teaching the younger generation about this album.

No words. Just rock.

2 stars for the 2 songs I liked on this album.

Enjoyable and great use of various instruments!

Out of principle

Standard 90s brit pop sound. Good but not great

Appreciate the punk attitude but still not a fan of this album. Their debut album would've been a better selection.

Classic rock gold.

Loved this album when it was released and still do. Great reminder of how long Jack White has been rocking

Had no idea what to expect and mildly enjoyed it. Probably won't remember the album exists past tomorrow..

Unique voice but all songs really sounded the same.

Ew.

Meh

5 stars despite having to picture "juice" running down Robert Plant's leg while he brings it on home. Thank You will forever be one of my favorite love songs ❤️

I will give credit where it's due for the impact the album made but I won't be listening to this album again.

Enjoyed this

Title of the album speaks for itself

Got tired of this by the end. 3.5

Fun! 5

Meh.

Outside of Widespread Panic, this is the sound of Athens, Georgia

Enjoyed it!

Okay but add it to the other albums that I don't understand why they are on this list

Stevie!!

4 stars for nostalgia

Great background music when completing a mundane task. Nothing really grabbed my attention

Anything less than 5 stars is an insult.

Quite enjoyed this one!

I dig Bad Company and always surprised by how many of their big hits are on this album.

Sounds like the Beatles so in theory I should like them, but I don't.

This album helped launch JAY Z into the stratosphere in 2001.. 24 years ago. Personally I think he voice is unique but lyrics are not. His expertise is finding and developing talent in others.

What a day, a year, a life this is

Clapton

Who hurt you, Dusty?

Maybe my understanding of early 2000 music has been calibrated correctly because this is EXACTLY what I expected. Was hoping to be proven wrong with catchier beats or a more unique sound.

Gunter glieben glauchen globen!

Jazz, soul, and classic 60s vibes. Digging it

Im hooked

Enjoyable album and will put NEU! on my list to listen more often.

Chefs kiss

Please. 5 stars or bust

Once upon a time I considered myself a 20th century fox asking for my baby to light my fire but time moves on.. now I'm a 21st century fox with a fire of my own :-p Love this album and happy to be reminded!

Yes!

No comment needed. 5 stars for Jimi

Unique, fem-forward, and worth listening to again.

Brings back memories of walking through the mall wasting time as a teen

One of my favorites and so glad this came up on a day I really need the energy this album brings.

Reminds me of T-Rex and That 70s Show.

Each song tells a story, with or without lyrics. True musicianship and brilliance from 3 of my favorite Canadians. RIP Neil 🙏

I remember when this album was released and, at the time, thought it was a fantastic continuation of her already established legacy. I wish I still felt that way and had an appreciation for the genre she explored in this era.. but I don't.

I can almost hear Janis' bangles jingling in the background. Great tunes

No, thank you. Ill give this a 2 for the musicality of some songs but my god it was whiny.

Unpopular opinion- I don't like Aerosmith. There are songs I like but they could easily be performed by someone else and I would easily prefer the cover.

Most of these songs haunt my dreams from overexposure. I'll still give 4 stars bc if songs live rent free in my subconscious mind, there is something undeniably special about their songwriting and performance.

Good but not great

Perfect timing for reggae.. it's honestly never a bad time for reggae though.

Couldn't help but dance, sway, and feel my way through this album. Loved it!

This has it all for any classic rocker. RIP Ginger Baker

Decent background music for getting work done but overall, unremarkable. Sorry Beach House fans, you're kinda boring.

Jerk it out

5 stars for one of my favorite songs of all time. Album was good but Papa Was a Rollin' Stone alone earned a perfect score from me.

5 stars- RIP Tina

2 stars for the 2 songs that were okay. Did this album launch Britney into pop-stardom? Yes. Does that make it good? No.

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this album

Did not listen out of protest and giving 1 star to drag down rating.

An actual musical genius
