1001 Albums Summary

Alex Turner you will always be famous.

the first song being 8 minutes…boy shut up. liked the sax in “lazarus”

I can appreciate an album is technically very impressive while hating almost everything about the album !

Relaxing bops 🎵

no 👎

“ya like jazz?” -barry b. benson

annoying 👎

Kind of a slog to get through but I was happy at the end of the slog! Love a lil weird alien baby album cover.

Kind of boring unfortunately!

BOPS !

3.5 stars

They don’t make piano music you can groove to anymore :(

I love weird women.

white boys were too powerful in the early 2000s

my favorite irish shoegazers 💜

I just can’t get into bjork…too much wailing.

imagine making an album this good…just imagine

I didn’t like a single song. Bad!

the 70’s were wild. 3.5 stars.

this album made my life worse

why did he growl “cookie” in a cookie monster voice randomly in “hold on”

only 35 minutes god bless

Kind of hit or miss but I actually really enjoyed some of the songs!

better than the first bowie album but i just don’t like his voice oops

white jewish boys rapping about buddhism i love america god bless

all the songs sound the same and it’s under 30 minutes…the perfect album

pretty boring for an album called CLUB classics

coffee shop music

not the funky bee gees i was hoping for :(

Liked “Take Me to the River” but man David Byrne‘s voice is so annoying on some of these songs.

2.5 stars

I mean I know it’s literally in his name and the title of this album but he compares himself to a dog too many times.

wish I’d been born 20 years earlier so I could have been a cobain groupie

liked a few songs but it was tough to get through for some reason.

rocks !!

JAZZ !!

feeling generous

scratched that indie itch

weird and trippy

Slightly better than average Cracker Barrel music.

some songs were cool…some songs sounded like elevator music…

kinda rad kinda lame

This is the first album on this list that I’ve listened to that made me go “Wow, I actually am glad I listened to that before I died.” Prior to listening to this album I would have described my soul as brittle, fragile, probably more on the cold side…but now? Oh BABY oh baby now I’ve got that hot buttered soul in me. I listened to this high in my car and it changed me as a woman. This album takes you on a ride. Every song is a JOURNEY. You will like the final destination. 10/10 album 10/10 title 10/10 cover 10/10 LYRICS “Cause I like it like that Your modus operandi Is really all right, out of sight Your sweet phalanges Know how to squeeze My gastronomical stupensity Is really satisfied when you're loving me” Are you kidding me?? Are you serious??? He really did that??? “Let me stop procrastinating Standin' here and narrating Find my emancipator She's a love educator Cerebral, cerebellum, a medulla oblongata” Shut the fuck up he’s got a whole ass anatomy lesson in those lyrics and it’s somehow sexy as hell????? “One Woman” is literally the most romantic song about cheating ever. I think I like get music now. Thank you, Isaac Hayes.

ok yeah sure it does sound like psychedelic elevator music

janis joplin the woman that you were

the only radiohead album I feel like I actually “get”

better than “Hounds of Love” dare I say…

probably a great album to do drugs at the club too

ok

I did really appreciate some of the songs on this album but some were such a literal pain to listen to :/ This album would have been better if it was 25% less experimental imo.

much better than the first prince album I had !! purRrRrPLE rAaaiNNNNNN !!

This was weird. There’s some pretty good storytelling there but that’s about it. 2.5/5 stars.

nope

3.5 stars

hard to get into but so so so good once you do.

Yes, the Beatles are good, but come on they could have cut some of these songs.

I love that really old shit. It’s relaxing.

cool guitars.

I guess I like the Beatles more than I thought.

interesting

I never fully understood the appeal of The Police. There are some bops tho!

perfect album. no notes.

I’m sorry, I just can’t do it I don’t like Björk…an extra star for creativity!

First half was better than the later half. Cover is cool. Wish I liked his voice more!

Surprised by how many songs I recognized! A very good singer-songwriter album.

fun!!

what the hell was this

this did hurt me spiritually

Why is this British man so obsessed with the USA? “Indian Sunset” was very weird. I did appreciate the Holiday Inn love. “Tiny Dancer” is a classic of course. 3.5 stars.

was this necessary

Pretty average Rolling Stones album, I liked the first two songs the most.

bruce springsteen white man of the century <3

Started good, got boring in the middle, finished strong! 3.5 stars.

Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” >>>

stone cold indie classic

Well I liked this more than I thought I would but I’m still not a huge Paul McCartney fan!

the song from elf??? strong christmas vibes.

More of this electronic bullshit…

not so special

Fun 80s pop perfection! Got a bit repetitive after a few songs though! 3.5 stars.

Three Bob Dylan albums…I’m so tired.

pretentious and annoying

Well the song about the pedo uncle certainly was something!

tortuous and tedious

Look I’m only on album #129 and this is my THIRD Frank Sinatra album. I like the guy’s voice but it’s just too many, especially considering most of his songs sound very similar. The authors could have picked one album of his and called it a day.

whooo hooo!!!

ughh

i love blonde women

It just does nothing for me.

fun but way too long

great music for a doctor’s office that hates it’s patients!

Thought I would like this more than I did…oh well!

this is actually one of the most important albums to me ever sooo 5 stars obviously. mr. brightside you will always be famous <3

I can appreciate the concept but this type of music is just not for me.

Obligatory “fuck Morrissey” but I honestly didn’t hate this.

Sometimes weird in a great way, sometimes weird in a terrible way. 2.5 stars.

ok I like dad rock

This was fun, but live albums just usually aren’t my thing.

why is there so much electronica on this list?? i’m sorry it’s just not that good!

Well fuck Morrissey, but this wasn’t terrible. 2.5 stars.

yeah this slaps what can I say

One hit wonder.

I’m glad I finally got a non-English album because I think it’s ridiculous that seemingly over 90% of the albums on this list are in English BUT I unfortunately found this a bit boring. The Cuban vibes were definitely strong!

it was fine.

Ok. I liked “World Leader Pretend,” “Orange Crush,” and “I Remember California.”

there’s way too much mid punk on this list

i was vibing

meh, lead singer’s voice got annoying after awhile. 2.5 stars.

never heard of him but he’s got pipes!!

surprisingly good background music!

girl whatever

there’s way too much mid electronica on this list

I appreciate the politics more than the music.

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would! 3.5 stars.

I needed to listen to this before I die?? Be so serious.

this album pissed me off

This album did not even come close to destroying rock & roll.

this was released on 9/11 lol

3.5 stars

honestly whatever

I didn’t enjoy the first Specials album I got and I didn’t enjoy this one either. Not for me.

love a goth moment

Kind of exhausting to listen to although I do appreciate how rad the guitars are.

They deserve jail for that jailbait song.

I refuse to listen to anymore dumbass electronica!!! Enough!!!

If I was born in the 50’s I would have been so devastated when Jim Morrison died.

Less boring than the last Paul Simon album I got.

meh

I can understand why this album appeals to some people but it was NOT for me.

Technically good but not for me.

at first I was like “ehhhh” but it grew on me!!

Technically great I guess but it did nothing for me. 2.5 stars.

nah

I enjoyed some of this album, but it didn’t really land for me overall. 3.5 stars

3.5/5 stars

not for me :)

one hit wonders

+1 for “It’s the End of the World As We Know It”

So many of these songs just went on and ON. Make it stop.

bops on top of BOPS!

Technically good but meh.

I really hated this.

It would be so nice if so many of the albums on this list weren’t shit!!

3.5/5 stars

A fine album if you like boring music.

not listening to this shit

Not as good as I was expecting :(

3.5/5 stars

the only m.i.a song you need to know is “paper planes”

could barely make it through four songs sorry :/

it was fine

Solid Cracker Barrel music. 2.5 stars.

Good background studying noise I guess. 2.5/5 stars

I know MJ was like a freak or whatever but this entire album is certified bangers. They just don’t make songs about rotting inside a corpse's shell for eternity like they used to!!

Never got the appeal of this album tbh.

sucks

This was so sweet! Not really my type of music, so I probably won’t return to it, but I enjoyed my listen.

Repetitive. The worst type of old music.

Did that first song really need to be 20 minutes long? Really?

good for them but I cannot listen to music like this!!

ugh

I know nothing about classical music but this was just fine to me.

omg so tedious

Not everyone deserves a record deal.

Eh nothing really grabbed me.

why

Reminds me of Bjork, not for me!!

YES

3.5/5 stars

fun! but why so many live albums?

I just don’t care.

ugh whatever

Really cool samples and mixing.

no

not wasting my time with this

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would!

3.5/5 stars

Seriously who is electronic music for?? I’m trying to understand but I don’t get it at all.

So boring for how acclaimed it is.

no

Great instrumentation but nothing really jumped out at me.

Very 80s…for better and for worse. 2.5/5 stars

Fun at times, but mainly I wanted it over with. 2.5 stars.

I just do not care for folk rock Bee Gees.

Ugh

Not as annoying as other electronic albums but still fucking annoying.

This went way harder than I expected it too. Rare win for the French language.

What a voice. RIP.

I listened to two songs and that was enough. I’m glad they exist for other people to enjoy.

I really did feel like I was on an island.

I just do not care for music like this.

I do appreciate this list for making me find new artists like this even if they’re not my absolute favorite.

Interesting, but not for me!!

It was in fact groovin’.

Man, that “Girls” song was vile.

Yeah definitely not for me.

I like Steely Dan I’ve discovered, but the number of their albums on this list is absurd.

groovy!! 3.5 stars.

Will I listen to it again? Probably not. Did I really really like it? Yes.

The Beach Boys >>>> The Beatles

She’s got an amazing voice but I just didn’t really care for any of the songs.

I guess I get why my History of Rock Music professor was so obsessed with this band.

90s easy listening adult radio bullshit.

yeah this is a classic

2.5/5 stars

Musicians stop being annoying challenge.

insufferable

This was way too long, but they can never make me hate you, Bruce Springsteen.

Liked the crab on the cover and that’s about it!

Not as annoying as some electronic albums but still annoying!

Would have been 3 stars if it was shorter!

Honestly not what I was expecting at all.

3.5/5 stars

This album was a JOURNEY.

Honestly nicer than I was expecting!

ok cracker barrel

I was not prepared for the song that sounds like it was sung by the Minions. Better than I expected. 3.5 stars.

Being a 13 year old girl really is the worst thing in the world.

murderer

Sigh…more 80s synth pop. Free me!!!! Some songs were fun, but mainly they were overly long and bland. 2.5 stars.

Kind of sounded like resort music :/

The Smashing Pumpkins are one of those bands where you’re like “Oohh this is going to be good” and then the lead singer starts singing and they sound like a dying cat. Despite that I still really like “Tonight, Tonight”, “1979”, and “Bullet With Butterfly Wings”.

Ok I get why Leonard Cohen was such a beloved singer and songwriter, but sometimes his voice really pisses me off.

I can accept “Folklore” and “1989” being on this list but “evermore”??? Free yourself from the Taylor Swift Industrial Complex.

sounds like video game music (derogatory)

Lovely!!

Has aged so insanely well for an 80s album.

I hate when I agree that a highly lauded album is brilliant because I love being a contrarian.

“You know she digs you and thinks you're a real groovy guy” is the most 60s lyric ever.

How To Be Irritated for 47 Minutes Straight.

Like Bob Dylan but worse.

I really gotta check out this Bollywood movie. Soundtrack slaps.

BRUCEEEEEE

weirdly horny in a gross way

It was funny to see this album pop up because I’ve been listening to a lot of Curtis Mayfield on my own recently, although not this album specifically. This was a very groovy socially conscious album! I had a lot of fun with it.

ugh :/

Yeah, I can rock with this I guess! 3.5 stars.

Interesting and creative, but not necessarily my taste.

I don’t think I like this lady’s voice but the lyrics were fun!

I like how they just crammed the first song with whatever noise they thought of!! “Once in a Lifetime” a stone cold classic of course.

JAZZ!

funky!

yeah sure I like jazz

Sounds like something they would play at Cracker Barrel. 2.5 stars.

Bloated and unfocused. Christina Aguilera is not really an album artist imo so I’m surprised she’s on this list at least twice.

Technically great, but did I really care that much? Unfortunately no.

No clue what these songs could be about but they were pleasant enough!

that’s what I’m talking about!!

I want to support women but this was very annoying!

no :(

Listening to the album: wow this vocalist sounds so much like Björk it’s actually crazy Looking up the band later: oh so it WAS Björk well I guess that shouldn’t be shocking

This album walked so that “Bongos” by Cardi B ft Megan thee Stallion could run.

I hate English people.

Annoying, then ok, then back to annoying again!

Three great songs at the beginning and it just goes down from there.

not for me

Flies by for a nearly two hour album! I can’t believe Gangsta’s Paradise samples a Stevie Wonder song! 4.5/5 stars, half star off because it really is lonnnnggg!

wow what a voice

5 stars for the song “What’s Going On” alone.

FINALLY SOMETHING THAT ISN’T MEDIOCRE BRITISH ROCK.

I didn’t really need to listen to this before I die.

ew

2.5/5 stars

3.5/5 stars

Oh you know the hips were shaking and swaying!!

ok I actually liked a lot of these songs more than I thought I would but why is this so long it’s just too much I didn’t need that much folk music in my life.

I’m starting to hate English people.

I liked the 10 minute song (“Love to Burn”) but this was my least favorite of the manyyyyy Neil Young albums I’ve gotten so far.

4.5 stars

3.5/5 stars

this guy kind of sucks

love the album cover
