1001 Albums Summary

Them songs were lengthyyyy

This album raises the question: how much talking can one get away with while “singing” ?

Great album to give yourself a kitchen scissor home haircut to

Assigning a song to each of my next 69 hinge matches

Any time someone listens to this album on shuffle, Syd Barrett turns over in his grave

One day when I grow up, I’d like this to be the kind of music I put on to get work done

Shame on me for thinking “eargasm” was a more recent addition to Webster’s dictionary

Hanky Panky No Thanks

Me, having been to Germany one (1) time: “yeah, that letter that looks like a B is actually pronounced ss”

Fine!

RIP Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson, and music

Pretty neat how collaborative this album was

Album? Pretty good. Coming from Barrytown? Less good…??

Pros: only 37 minutes Cons: those 37 minutes were painful

No notes❗️🧑‍🍳🤌💋

Totally tolerable

An icon. Legend. Prince of pop. But every song could have been ~2 mins shorter.

Made for excellent background music while reading my book club book (Verity) on the green line

My favorite part of this was the title

Thought 7 O’Clock News / Silent Night might be able to do what the Nothing Much Happens podcast does for me until the :23 second mark

Call me crazy, but could have used more words

This is what I’m here for!

Safe As Milk would be a sick band name

Mostly enjoyed this look inside the mind of Lucy Dacus

My bad for expecting Santeria

It may have more to do with me being in a car for 5 hours and less to do with the album itself (will never listen again to find out) but I was so bored by this, I’m going to sue Bob

Call me a mumble pop fan (I hope the title track is never not stuck in my head)

Great getting ready music, not great driving music

2020?! Damn, how recent’s this list?

No, thank you!

Dissociating at the dinner table to this one 🔥

Should they be talking about Terry like that?

The trick is to hit play on the album of the day and then keep your hands busy. Perhaps too intimate a soundtrack to cut fruit to, but I got it done

Thrilled Catfish is making a comeback, but I probably could have supplemented with the guys

Kunetz said it all

Kinda crazy only British bands existed in the 60s, eh? And this one had a drummer named Twink!

Sly is such a cool name

My Spotify wrapped: I’m extremely confused Me: you’re confused? I’m fucking confused bro

How many times do you think Lin Manuel Miranda listened to this while writing Hamilton?

It’s been real. It’s been fun. It’s been real fun, Pat

This Bob isn’t so bad

You’d better change it back or we will both!! be! sorry!!!

Not for me but we got it done 💪

Haven’t touched the genre since R Kelly music videos were popular 15 years ago, but D’Angelo fucks (I bet he has so much sex)

Jig of Life had me feeling like I was climbing Old Man of Storr

Never again

He would have loved Julien Baker

I liked Teach Your Children so much, I almost added it to a playlist

Opening a song with “clowns caress you:” -bold -not helpful at all, contrary to the title

Surprised to learn Alec Baldwin was relevant back then

Sauerkraut(rock)

14 songs in 35 minutes? That’s hot

Passion Pit’s daddies

Apologies for fussing in 2014, their shit slaps

Really, really liked the cheering/chanting in the last 40 seconds

Theatre kid Bo Burnham. Does that make sense?

The Randy Burns mixes go craaaazy

Didn’t pick up any machine gun manners/best practices though

I resonate so profoundly with the double question marks

On Battleship Hill sounded vaguely like Riptide by Vance Joy, no?

Elephant Love Medley (which samples Heroes) > Heroes by David Bowie, sorry

We’re gonna get that Beastie Boys album, right?

Yeah, if by talking, you mean singing

Sometimes the singer sounded like Patrick Stump and other times like Jon Bon Jovi, but I didn’t really like it (all the time)

Bombastic side eye @ All In the Family

Was really liking it, didn’t realize the album ended, a Flaming Lips song auto-played after and I was like “damn I really, REALLY like this” (just really liked it)

Mhmm, yeah!

Vibey ferrr shurrrr

Let Miley cover them all

“She was into S&M and bible studies” what a bar

Please refer to slimlimbtim’s response below

Where Is My Mind? wasn’t getting anything lower than a 4

SooOo good

“The next time someone’s teaching, Why don’t you get taught?” 😮

“The glamour of the gay night life has lured you” 😏

Effectively reduced cortisol levels at the office 👍

One star for music, an additional star for band name (a bit of a stretch!) and album name (very creative!)

Good, would have been better if I was there

The maid song deserves criticism but I’m going to use this opportunity to call out a later album by him titled “Harvest Moon” … like, try harder?

If it’s not Low Rider, I don’t want it

Sometimes it was like 50% Hugh Grant’s pop band (Pop!) in Music & Lyrics, 50% Challengers soundtrack. I don’t know if I really enjoyed that

Great hand/head/full body out the car window tunes on a warm spring day :,)

Tried and failed to get through the vault tracks

I’m shaking my head no

Bit of a snoozefest

My Back Pages is a 5 which brings a 3 album to a 4 rating

Liked it! Liked the stuff that auto-played after (Jimmy Hughes, Garnet Mimms & the Enchanters, Little Willie John, James Hunter) a little more!

It’s simple: you mention horses, I’m IN

What if we just listened to Hunky Dory again? Eh?? Eh?!

The singing parts were so good

This Sound lacked Affects on me

Dance Dance Revolution

These guys know what they’re doing

Rewatched Leap Year and booked my next trip to Ireland

🤠👍

After Chris Cornell passed, my mom bought every Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Temple of the Dog cd and it was the only music she would listen to, in the car and at home, for like two years. I moved out during that time

Liked the music AND the lyrics

Always get nervous when I see Disc 1/Disc etc. but the opening/title track is SO GOOD. Disc 1 is easily a 5/5, second half loses me (2.5), so a 4/5 it gets

The first band I liked on my own after gaining consciousness at like 9 years old. They’re getting nothing but 5’s from me, always 😤

Really hard to look up if their stuff gets used in movie soundtracks when there are “My Bloody Valentine” movies

Could have sworn he sang half of these in Rocky Horror Picture Show

My expectations were through the floor, deep underground (but I liked it)

But Deceptacon!

Of any relation to Lil Nas X?

Confused because I thought I liked folk rock??

Big fan of tortoises, even bigger fan of songs that have words in them

“Milk” 🤝 “Safe As Milk”

Nothing for me to be afraid of!

My favorites in order: -the name of the band -the name of the album - - -the music

Jake Whiting must do this guy’s album art

“Machine machine machine machine” doesn’t really do it for me lyric-wise

I added “Be Sweet” to a playlist??!

Pretending the strictly instrumental ones didn’t exist

Who did they pay to appear on this more than once?

Fond memory alert: my dad, who *does not* play instruments, taught me Smoke on the Water when I was an itty bitty child on like a $40 Walmart guitar

Idk maybe we could have workshopped the lyrics to You Know Who I Am a little more

The first 8 seconds of Please Mister Postman is such a little dopamine hit for me, like 🥁🗣️ wait❗️👬👬 how cute :-)

TFTI, sounded like a real good time 🙄

Used to play “Movin’ Out” while driving around by myself feeling like a REAL adult at 17 (I wouldn’t move out for 4 more years)

Not!!! bad

She can sing but I would never voluntarily listen

Giving Mario Bros. background music in a very good way

My coworker Doug would be SO pleased I listened to all of it

Can’t give anything in the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young universe below a 3

I’m naturally skeptical of anything “rock opera” but this was fun

This is a Talking Heads stan account

How fun!! 🕺

You could really make out the guitar

Would it be worse if they were brother and sister who pretended they were married?

You gotta read Kunetz's review

I'm shrugging emphatically

I'm shrugging less emphatically

Good but you knew that, didn’t you?

There were two songs in the beginning that kind of reminded me of Green Day and the Gin Blossoms?? 👍👍 but then it got bad 👎👎

Should have been the album with Tom’s Diner on it

Great album title, I feel like Harry would have loved twitter

Should have been the album with Make Me Feel on it

🙂‍↔️👎

Johnny, I owe you an apology

Julian, my man, how do you Cope with putting out another bad album? :/

Started bad, ended worse, but there was some okay stuff in the middle!

Rent (Farleigh’s Version) >>>>

If he’s saying he’s hard (again!), I’ll take his word for it but he looks like a big softie to me :,)

Better than Captain Beefheart

Was electric! Bet he lands ladies!!

I would like to go back and give Electric Ladyland a 5

“Loop-ay”? Have I been pronouncing the neopet wrong this whole time?

Me, refusing to look at the album cover: there were three of them, I just know it

I’m behind so I can see Amy’s Back to Black is next and it is very much that distracted boyfriend meme: I want to let go of Portishead’s hand so bad. Seriously though, the ONLY song I wasn’t itching to skip was Deep Water. Didn’t like this album

I won’t see the movie, love & respect ya too much <3

The interludes were fab

Definitely my favorite article (“the”), definitely not an album I enjoyed

Me, :09 seconds into Stardust: oh no, is this an instrumental album? Me, 0:14 seconds into Stardust: maybe it should have been

Legend says no one's ever made it to the bottom of his discography on Spotify. I'm still scrolling!

I wish I a) had a friend in a band and b) could say the band sounded like this
