1001 Albums Summary

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic

Not my cup of tea! Mostly perfectly fine funk.

Heroes by David Bowie

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause

This stuff must have been mind-blowing in the Weimar Republic, and it's pretty cool to release an album of pro-worker German cabaret songs in 1988, but this was absolutely not for me! I don't like stench, I don't like garbage!

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Shocked by how boring I found this one apart from Paint It Black. I think I am simultaneously too young and too old for The Rolling Stones.

Harvest by Neil Young

Your New Favourite Band by The Hives

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart

Weirdly hard to evaluate Rod Stewart as an actual musician and not just like an object my uncles were into. Will have to come back to this one, three stars for now.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips

War by U2

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead

British Steel by Judas Priest

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.

Hard to give an album including "Dumb Girl" five stars, but this one is so solid otherwise. Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good.

Music From Big Pink by The Band

Konnichiwa by Skepta

The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Vulnicura by Björk

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

Eliminator by ZZ Top

I like "La Grange" as much as the next guy, but I'm nowhere near divorced enough to sit here and listen to a full ZZ Top album. Sorry to this man.

Teen Dream by Beach House

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

I mean, this thing is a masterpiece, in the classical sense.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction

Suicide by Suicide

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

The White Album by Beatles

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

American Idiot by Green Day

The World is a Ghetto by War

Disintegration by The Cure

Violator by Depeche Mode

"Enjoy The Silence" sometimes feels like it might be a perfect song.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

2112 by Rush

I read about a culture where, instead of saying they don't like a certain food, they say "I don't know how to eat this". I feel that I don't know how to listen to 2112. It's certainly not BAD.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Man, this one got me in the right mood I guess. Loved it.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

Fragile by Yes

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja

Odelay by Beck

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

I can acknowledge that the production is great and also feel like I just didn't enjoy listening to most of it. I think I like the Beastie Boys stupider than this!

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Transformer by Lou Reed

Honestly "Perfect Day" brings this rating up by a full star all by itself.

So by Peter Gabriel

25 by Adele

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

Music For The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy

Roxy Music by Roxy Music

Woodface by Crowded House

Gold by Ryan Adams

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

My Generation by The Who

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

Follow The Leader by Korn

Honestly, kind of a fun reminder of a certain time and place, except for the risible "All in the Family" which is a mortifying reminder of a certain time and place.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Queen II by Queen

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.

Halfway through I was like "Okay, I get it but it's not for me, three stars" but I decided to be fair and keep listening to the end. Two stars!!!! NOT FOR ME!

You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim

I have to celebrate you, "You've Come a Long Way Baby". I have to praise you like I should.

Slipknot by Slipknot

Sometimes you get one of these albums where it quickly becomes very clear, I did not need to hear this before I die.

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

This thing absolutely SMOKES, holy shit. Rarely does a live album feel this essential.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

I put on track one immediately after leaving a screening of Furiosa and I was like, this is the best album ever. Then I listened to the rest of it the next day while running errands and stuff. You need the appropriate context for this kind of thing!

Risque by CHIC

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons

Electric Warrior by T. Rex

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers

S&M by Metallica

The symphony really helps them break the "we're so tough and scary" kayfabe in an appealing way. Usually I just roll my eyes at these guys.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

TUSK

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Disraeli Gears by Cream

Aja by Steely Dan

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles

Faith by George Michael

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit

By all rights should be 1 star, but "Rolllin' " and the Mission: Impossible theme are just too much stupid fun. Also, it is hilarious in retrospect that "My Generation" is about Generation X.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Hotel California by Eagles

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill

Synchronicity by The Police

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens

Basically the platonic ideal of a three star album. This thing isn't hurting anybody.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

Kanye has said some heinous shit over the last few years, but he also said "Too many Urkels on your team, that's why your wins low", and we do have to respect that.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

The Last Broadcast by Doves

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes

"The Denial Twist" always has me making the most unacceptable John Mayer guitar faces from the first note. Love it.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon

Undeniably influential, but not really my thing. The distracting soundtrack of the sketchiest basement you've ever hung out in.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying by Megadeth

Casanova by The Divine Comedy

I thought I would hate this when it started, but like the creeps at the center of all these songs, it gradually wore me down. I think "This is not a sin, it's not even original" is when I started to get on the same page.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Pump by Aerosmith

Berlin by Lou Reed

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela

I'm torn. This was a really good listen, the musicians are so talented and the performances are incredible, but I cannot imagine ever having the desire to hear it again, which I think has to be part of what makes a great album. Experiencing this live would be the best, but relistening to improvised music seems crazy. Do I maybe just take issue with the concept of jazz recordings?

Possibly the most precisely 3.5 album I've run into on here. It's better than a three, they know exactly what they're doing and are nailing it, but giving it a full four stars feels crazy. But I'm limited by the tools available to me, so congratulations, this thing really wails.

I never do this, but this thing was an immediate 1 star once the second track was a spoken word poem and track three was the same poem as song lyrics. It demonstrates either a profound lack of faith in the music or a WILD overestimation of the quality of the poem. Anyway, that put this thing into a hole that the remainder of it wasn't nearly good enough to crawl out of.
