1001 Albums Summary

You love Nirvana so much? Go ahead, name 5 of their albums

Not sure why he sings like he has a potato in his mouth

Who knew the guy who wrote the boys are back in town had more than 1 song?

I love mama Mia!

There’s nothing better than listening to RATM while working my cushy 9 to 5 job

I could see this being the soundtrack for a “Tab” commercial

This is what I thought the future sounded like in 2004

“I don’t want to be gay. I just want to be sexy” - David Bowie, 1975

This was only on the list so you could appreciate how good albums can be

Well written, genius, and a sexy name. What more can you want

Ya like jazz?

His raps are ok but he needs to fire his producer

40 minutes of perfect music and also a song about playing cards or something

British people are weird!

… not sure any songs are even about food but ok…

Some hits, some misses, but damn he can blow the shit out of that harmonica

The most boring album of good music

No woman, no cry… no man, no one cares!

How did they predict the 90s ???

Good thing they’re called R.E.M because they put me to sleep

This band is the shitty knockoff of Oasis which is already the shitty knockoff of the Beatles

Amazing what cocaine can bring humanity

Now THIS is jazz

This album answers the question “what if they still wrote doo wop music in the 60s”

Radiohead’s biggest sin is convincing the world that polyrhythms mean it’s good

Misread the name and accidentally listened to the band “WAR” while on drugs

Aw man I’m all out of Cash

Oh, you hate nirvana so much? Don’t name 3 of their albums

Scrubs soundtrack ass music

This album is so good, my future father in law got it for me on vinyl 2 christmases in a row

Couldn’t understand a word they were saying. It was like they were speaking a whole different language

Me when I see a sand castle: Can I kick it? Yes I can!!

This guy lived during the 60’s and thought that all British people could write music

Haha what if we were ironically fascisf? Haha wouldn’t that be funny? Haha what if it was a joke that we made being nationalist a thing again haha right? Heyy where’s everyone going???

Maybe I just don’t like Brit pop

How he gonna sing a whole song about Vincent Van Gogh and not mention the ear

It sounded like the hey Arnold theme song

Mmm pretzels

Oof ouch owie my ears

Would be a 5/5 but it loses some points for whatever the beginning of “Andy Warhol” is

When I saw this was the album of the day I was like YES! If you don’t think that’s funny, my fiancée didn’t either

The baby was a bit much

Ya like jazz?

Yawn!

One time my roommate said he was making “Scarborough fair bread” and I said “what goes in that” and he said “parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme”

Not Bowie’s best, but still better than 99% of the other stuff on here

Why is the beginning of “off the wall” so spooky?

I love the blues! And by that I mean I like being sad. This music is fine

Store brand Bob Dylan

The perfect album for dropping acid with your older brother

Hour long anti smoking PSA

Mac Demarco for people in 1990

The music was great but the vibes were not.

How are you gonna name an album “untitled” and then title it in the same breath

This album sounds like when your 8 year old cousins come over and they ask to play your guitar

Like Jazz? Why not jazz it up with extra jazz

Minus one star for ripping off Talking Heads

One hit wonders

They made this as if they knew guitar hero would be a thing

They should have spent less time writing a story and more time writing better music

I wish I lived in the 60s so I could have a nuanced take on this

Every rapper who dies early is contractually obligated to have songs like “I’m never gonna die!” Or “shoot me until I’m dead”

They just copied Yes but go off

Anyone who doesn’t like this album can unfriend me

More like the Freeballin’ Bob Dylan

Sounds like it was written and recorded in an alley

I like the instrument that sounds like someone is washing the window

Dad R&B

Another member of the Bush family getting fame. What’s next for America? Jill Biden making a mixtape?

German Pink Floyd. Pink Freud

Nick drake = nickleback + drake

This is what life should be like. Chillin on a couch outside the house with 2 dudes, singing songs and having an ice cold miller lite

What did they put in the water during 1980-1989 that made everyone write bad music?

You know if the guy serving you food is mean to you the meal boutta be fire

They sound like they would be good live. Too bad they’re dead

Whoever said punk is dead is wrong because I can still listen to music from the 70s

Tim Burton ass soundtrack

Every time a child in Africa dies, Bono claps his hands

George Clinton really just says whatever he wants

Fine. You can have a 3. But only if I never have to listen to you again

I’m not buying! this album

It sounded like they made the album as a joke

One time I saw the flaming lips live and Wayne Coyne had a fake baby. True story

In Philly they call this album “Hoagies”

It was a mistake listening to this in the car because I couldn’t tell if it was the music or my windshield wipers

Not Stevie on the drums on every track??

The Pokérap could have been on here and I wouldn’t have noticed

The band really named themselves after Corn

The definition of “scaring the hoes” music

Nice!

I now understand what Billy Madison meant when he said “If peeing your pants is cool, I’m Miles Davis”

Wow! An album full of cleaning supplies commercials music!

Wait… British people can make good music??

If I was in middle school in 1992 this would have been my JAM

Bone Machine sounds like it was written by Tim Robinson

This album hits harder when your brother played it non stop during college

I think I heard the DK rap on there

Imagine popping molly in the club to this album tho

Hey Miles I think you accidentally recorded the band tuning their instruments for 40 minutes

This is what being forced to go to church sounds like

You just know he got laid after that

So Neil definitely wanted a bang maid, right?

Adding beetles in the bog as my ringtone

I listened to this on a cassette for the full effect

The perfect album to eat crawfish to

Objectively good music that I subjectively don’t like

Smash bros loading menu ass music

Was a 3 until I got to the worst cover of “Stand by me” I’ve ever heard

My 6th grade history teacher’s name was Mrs. Bird, but my dad always spelled it Byrd. Maybe this is why. Or maybe he was just old

Ok now I understand why the Beatles were so popular

I thought she was a knock off of the Talking Heads, but turns out they’re a knock off of her

Let me off at the next stop thanks

Acoustic Queens of the Stone Age

This album is timeless, in that it could have come out in any decade and I still wouldn’t have liked it

The best thing disco ever did for me was have really good fries named after them

This isn’t even the best album in the Beatles

This is the music of my people

Hey, this sounds like the “woo hoo!” Guy. Hey, this IS the “woo hoo!” Guy!

Gets a 4 at minimum because one of these songs was on Rock Band

This is what I needed to hear today

This is also the music of my people, but this album doesn’t have the Dubliners on it

Did not know there were so many people who don’t like cold play. Add one more

I now understand shoe gaze

It’s times like this I wonder what if there was a rapper named Tuna Casserole

I listened to the whole album

If they can write music, maybe I can too

If you told me this guy invented being cool, I would believe you

Fairport convention: Omg our friend Michael is so crazy! We should write a song telling people how crazy he is Michael: [the most boring British man to ever live] hi

The band is very aptly named because their music is slow, dry, and I want to turn them into soup

More like recycling because it was fine

If I were a 12 year old in 1970 I would have been really annoying about this album

Oh, so THIS is what bad punk sounds like. It’s just new wave music

That was Aphex Twin?? That was just a bunch of cheap walk cycles!!

WE ARE THE ROBOTS ok and?

Not bad although I do not remember a single thing about the album

Paper Mario ass soundtrack

This is what happens when you give g*mers the courage to write music

I think I listened to this in a fever dream but it was good

Great sleepy time music, unfortunately I was not trying to sleep

My least favorite Beatles album :/

I thought it was almond brothers!! I was so excited for songs about nuts

Thought it was Greatest Hits of Billy Joel for a second

British rapping just doesn’t sound right

The crazy part is I like some of her songs

Someone give these rats a popsicle!

Metal is a silly little genre and you can’t convince me otherwise

Sending this to the boys chat before they all come over to smoke weed and fill their bellies with diet soda and play burnout revenge for the ps2

“Tommy’s Holiday Camp” awakened a deep memory when I was at camp and one of the scoutmasters woke us up 30 mins early with a big “GOOD MORNING CAMPERS”

If you have a fear of music, DO NOT LISTEN!! You will be scared the ENTIRE time!!!

My cousin used to sing “we got the beat” poorly and that’s all I could hear and I’m sorry

Took the sound of Jimi Hendrix without any of the emotion

Haha babe what if we pretended to be brother and sister haha I mean wouldn’t that be crazy haha as a joke!! Joking!!

Nothin better than gettin soft with the boys

Florence and the machine but the machine is broken

Mom please come pick me up I’m scared

I liked it but this ain’t country

Oh ok maybe British people don’t know how to make music

She, sings, like, all, of, her, words, have, a, comma, after, them,

Unbelievable that this guy and John Lennon were bffs for like 3 years

She was better in Glass Onion

If this is what jail is like, I wanna go!

It’s a shame when you read this is an artist’s best album and it’s still not that good

UK new wave is something I wish I could have listened to after I died. And I mean that as an insult.

Playing “shopping” on the way to all my mall visits from now on

He’s hard, I’m hard, are there any more hard people I should know about???

It’s no captain beefheart, but it’s close

Electric Ladyland sounds nice, but I really want to visit Fireman City

The length of “Since I’ve been loving you” is the exact amount of time it takes to get from my ex gf’s house to my house, a fact I learned at 4 in the morning in high school after sneaking out

Just made me hungry and thirsty

In a not unexpected move, “we will fall” made the albums rating fall from a 3 to a 2

Music to play while you and your friends sneak into a graveyard in high school

Meghan Trainor music if it was good

This here is what we call dad rap

The The The album isn’t very good. Damn it now The doesn’t sound like a word anymore

Willie Nelson let me down

I’m also gonna review this on Letterboxd because I think it counts as having watched it

The title is accurate because I really do wish I listened to another music

A great listen on the treadmill

What’s goin on? What’s happening? Who are you?? How did you get in my house???

Great vibes on the way to Portugal 🇵🇹

Sheryl Crow ran so Kacey Musgraves could walk

You just know her coat of many colors went hard

Great music to put in the background at a nice low volume. And by low volume I mean 0

No babe when I said I wanted to Peg I meant Steely Dan! Honest!

When this album came out, it was ahead of its time. Unfortunately, I’m listening to it 30 years later, so it feels behind my current time.

I’m a sucker for any band with a good bassist

It’s like a party in my head and everyone’s invited!

I don’t get all the hate. I do get all of the dislike though

Every good band begins with a B. The Beatles. The Beach Boys. The beastie boys. The Bees also begins with a B but don’t let that fool you

Good kid, maad city, great album, bad haircut

Sometimes I wish i we’re an eagle so I didn’t have to listen to this album

The kind of music my older brother would put on and when everyone complained to him he would go “I never complain about your music!!”

If you do not like this album then you are super stupid !! Ha like the song

Repeater? I hardly know her!

“One of the most influential electronic albums ever!!!” My dude this is just 1 note with some rain, wind, and ocean sound effects over it for like 45 minutes

They really just chose the default band name

Great show! Too bad I fuckin hate Elvis :)

She walked so Tracy Chapman could vroom vroom in her fast car

Anyone who wrote the song from Shrek is a friend of mine

Baby’s got depends… oh no…

It’s nice :) gonna save this one for when I cook dinner high as fuck

When will Radiohead learn that 3 minutes of ambient noise doesn’t make for good music

Once again the Talking Heads lied to me. There are nowhere near 77 tracks on this album

Gonna tell my kids this was the birth o of Al

This didn’t win the Grammy and I will never forgive Taylor swift for it

The kind of music my parents would tell me to turn down, and they wouldn’t be wrong

The genre of this album is “music”

The kind of album you’re not just meant to listen to, but one you’re meant to get up and dance to! Unfortunately I was listening to it

Full on disassociated while listening to sister ray

Bonus tracks for the album: If you’re gunna cheat, at least do it to my face Winners never cheat, but cheaters never lose Cheat cheat (it’s all you do (but I love you))

In high school one of my friends said he “liked music without sexual overtones, like AC/DC” we played the album and just about got to “Givin the dog a bone” before he realized his mistake

The kind of music your friend would show you in high school and you would obsess over and then you’d go to a concert and it’d be empty

RIP Nick Drake. You would have loved Drake and Josh, which aired on Nick.

Imagine how good he’d be if he could see

The French Frank Sinatra. Franc Senêtre

Just woke up from a 30 year coma. Can’t wait to see what these guys put out since then!

The first album I ever bought as a teenager, and haven’t listened to it since

Royalty free music you can play in the background of a high school video project

Listened to Tv on the radio on my phone in my couch on my floor on earth on space

Good thing the Beastie Boys weren’t a thing when I was in college because I would have been really fucking annoying about it

Quintessential indie, which means they’re popular, which means they’re not actually indie, which means… something?

Rip Fatboy Slim. You would have loved garage band

The Beatles got good when they stopped writing songs about love and start writing about taking naps, submarines, and taxes

More like Brown Floyd. Because it sounds like doo doo

The first Beatles album I ever listened to at 7 years old. I was like “they can drive my WHAT???”

Just…. No

Actually it’s pronounced “Adam and the Aunts”

I love pre grunge :) except when it’s post folk :(

Sorry electronica really ain’t my thing

I now understand why the 80’s were like that. Everyone was trying to copy Van Halen

The whole time I was like play freebird! And then they did!!

Yaaaasss qween rock it 👏

So nice of Pink Floyd to write an album about Mark Wahlburg!

More like my old not favorite band

I listened to this on Depeche Mode. And by that I mean I sped through all the bits I didn’t like (because depeche is French for hurry the fuck up)

Finally a band for Sonic the hedgehog fans like me!

He is neither a wizard nor a true star

Loved the one that sounded right off the Metroid Prime soundtrack

Do their fans call themselves the knights who say NIN?

Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo. And by that I mean I don’t like this album very much

I’m kind of blue da ba dee da ba die

Give me a miller high life, a grill, a cigarette, and Steely Dan and you will give me happiness

I wonder if their engineer’s name was Roger. Seems like a nice dude

It’s like Marvin Gaye met a girl with no talent and had a baby with some talent

Throwing this on at the next party and seeing who starts dancing first

Expected to hate it - didn’t hate it - is that a win?

I’m confused so is he talking to Satan or is he Satan

When you’re a child, you think ELO is the best band ever. Then when you’re a teen, you think you’re too cool for ELO. And then when you’re an adult, you realize ELO is only pretty good.

Steamy punk

The second he started singing is the second he lost me

Perfect music to listen to right after Halloween

There’s no better experience in life than listening to the song Bad Company by the band Bad Company on the album Bad Company while I’m playing the game Battlefield: Bad Company and I have my rude friends over (they are bad company) who all work for Amazon (a bad company)

It’s like he went to Bob Dylan’s house to raid his fridge. But he forgot to bring a cooler so the food went bad

Great music, greater vibe, best hot chicken in Nashville

Even worse than his daughter Celine

Fastest turnaround from a 1 to a 4 I’ve ever seen

The verve only have one good song and and it’s not even on this album

Still blows my mind that he released Thriller one week AFTER Halloween

Tom better stop waiting because I will never find his music interesting

WARNING!!! Do NOT misspell Astrud! There’s only one s and the t comes BEFORE the u!!

Finally, Jack White goes solo and can use more than 2 instruments in a song!

These guys are so ahead of their time - we haven’t even found the fourth dimension yet

I can’t believe I’m typing this but Marcel the shell with shoes on really ruined “peaceful easy feeling” for me

The first time I heard “freedom!” Was on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which means that I can’t take it seriously. Like at all

Today on “songs that other media has ruined for me”: stepbrothers ruins sweet child o mine

RIP the specials. You would have love the 90s

Is it pronounced “Bowie” or “Bowie”?

It’s like if Elliott Smith was from Chicago

You can’t open with a terrible cover of Neil Young and expect me to like the rest of your album

They sound like a band at a bar that I definitely did not pay a cover to hear

Times like these remind me that deep down, we’re all just hoochie coochie men

Of course I’m experienced ! (I say as a LIE 😈)

Took a toilet nap at work while listening to skies over Cairo and had a dream about Mario in a desert level

Sheryl Crow is my waifu

One of the greatest guitarists playing some of the most dogshit music

I’ve been listening to shakedown street for 3 days and they just got the end of the first verse…..

More like 1001 albums that make you die

Music made for a high school “rave” in someone’s parents’ basement that starts at 6:30 and ends at 9

Ladies and gentlemen… foo FIGHTERS

Not at all like The Rolling Stones plus Guns N’ Roses

Hell fucking yeah

Yep, that sure is Radiohead alright

Maybe the lawns are hissing because she sucks

Yep, that’s Jazz alright

Maybe one chord would have been better…

The kinda music that plays in an adventure movie when they go to a hot country in the Middle East

I wish I was as cool as Curtis Mayfield….

Ban she’s? In my America? I don’t think so

British people who can’t sing shouldn’t sing

The man named after angels!

Eminem be like “I’m Eminem I like eating m and ms every now and then [m and m crunching sound]”

The album aged even worse than the cover art

If Mr Beach Boy wants to make music as his form of therapy I’m here for it

What one tuner would have done for them!

Eric Clapton can suck it

The kind of music they made so your mom could tell you to turn it down

Jumped out of my chair when I heard Thom Yorke

Solid bangers that sound too good to have been recorded in a basement in Watertown

The lead singer sounds like he’s constantly on the verge of tears, which is pretty apt because that’s how I was living at Villanova when I first got into the album

“As soon as they like you make them unlike you” sure got the crowd fucking hating this guy

I’m starting to think this guy isn’t even a doctor

What a great album that I’ll promptly forget and never listen to again

Lost me at “I wrote this song for a girl I don’t even know yet….” Predatory ass music

It’s like the soundtrack to a movie that I didn’t want to watch

Why are his fingers sticky…..? Ew

Good thing I had a surrealistic pillow because this bored me to sleep

John Frusciante isn’t even the best guitarists in the Red Hot Chili Peppers

How’d he get an AI image generator for the cover in 2019?

Makes me want to have dropped out of college!

I bet the mosh pit went fucking HARD

This is the music that they play in the elevator on the way to hell, but 3 minutes in you realize you’re already in hell

Listening to this the week before Christmas makes me feel like the grinch because both of us hate NOISE

Grungeitize me captain

I know their instruments aren’t out of tune, but if their instruments aren’t out of tune, then why do their instruments sound like they’re out of tune?

If you were born between 1975-1980, there’s a 50% chance you were conceived to this album

Brilliant album ruined by 12 minutes of literal silence in the middle

So funky I think I need to get tested for something

What an exciting Christmas present to open

Can’t believe my parents used to listen to this trash. 4 stars

A slog to get through but not without its exciting parts - just like highway traffic!

It’s like if Talking Heads only wrote very sad music and his suit were too small

Tim should retire and have a son and teach him guitar. I think it’d go much better for him

Finally an album for me - a lover of cigarettes

Garbage name but great background music

It’s like the opposite of daft punk - adept conformist?

Really good for Brit pop! Unfortunately I don’t usually like Brit pop

I’ll review this album like The Streets would: Dis album is bad It made me quite….. Sad! It’s ova ….. and I’m ….. glad Do ya fink he Eva kneew ‘is dad?

I don’t know who Adele’s ex his, but his dick must be huuuuge

For the love of god, please hire 1 (one) more musician

So jazzy but the guy needs to hire a better singer

It’s like Lou Reed had a baby with the Soft Boys, but then that baby had a baby with the Cure

Great album, would be even better if they had a third guy who said the last word of the rap when they said it

Was not aware that Sonic the Hedgehog was in a band in his younger days!

Only a few bands can write the worst songs of all time and still make me love them

The perfect music to play from a cassette while hanging at the mall on a Friday with the besties

Is this what Kanye based N****s in Paris on?

Clearly a gifted musician but he needs to find a friend to fix his garbage lyrics

Spoiler alert: they never say what Jane is addicted to

They’re the new Beatles. And by that I mean they’re British and nothing else

Is now a good time to mention how Johnny Test stole American Idiot for its theme song?

Leon has no king. Leon NEEDS no king

Imagine not listening to this album because John Lennon is a bad guy and then listening to Sabrina Carpenter

Dan just isn’t the same without Steely… or is this steely?

One of the best guitarists in our time playing some of the most boring music

How do you say “ok” in Portuguese

You’re laughing. They killed jokes and you’re laughing

Missing my favorite Eric Clapton song, “don’t leave your window open while you’re doing cocaine”

JUDAS!! JUDAS!! HAS ANYONE SEEN MY FRIEND JUDAS??

The madman!!! He’s a madman!!! He played piano really good

Anyone in the Crosby stills Nash young cinematic universe is a friend of mine

Finally a fun, flamboyant, and full-fledged album from famous fingers of fine fellow Fevie Fonder

I think they recorded this in a toilet. Not a bathroom, a toilet

Imagining smoking a great big spliff to this while sitting at my desk in the office

They really took my least favorite kinds of music (English, 80s, noise) and made it into my worst nightmare

Can’t believe this was made by a man made out of legos

An album that gives the experience of watching a movie but playing on your phone the whole time

This album will only leave you hungry for chicken, do not listen!

O brother where art thou core

Can’t decide if I’d like it better as a cover band of the black keys and counting crows

A less slutty version of Lana Del Rey

She’s so unusual! If by unusual you mean completely usual

Suede

If this is Cosmo’s factory, I’d love to hear what Wanda has to offer

So ahead of their time and influential! They influenced the sound of the dial up modem

Oh what the magic of a simple guitar tuner would do for them

Funny how he called the second song “last straw” because it was when I decided I didn’t like the album!
