1001 Albums Summary

Classic Rolling Stones, better than Let It Bleed

Good album, better than Rolling Stones!

Amazing

good album, good band

Never knew who this was, pretty good

quality, not all that interesting. Stills is good but this record won't be on repeat

amazing jazz

The Cult is a really solid rock band, and this is no exception. It's not Top 10, but it'll get a re-listen.

Decent! Sounds like Kings of Leon

It’s clear why Maps was the single.

80s epitomized. I think I'd heard some of these songs before but I had never actually heard the name of the group.

Definitely a different style than I normally listen to, but the talent and the musicality is undeniable.

Uh ... nah, dawg.

Effing classic. This is classic rock, amazing.

Pretty good ... he's got a very definite sound which isn't my favorite, but is definitely talent, and this earlier incarnation I like better than the later stuff.

Definitely good! T. rex has a pretty unique sound and I like it.

Very good, very different from what I thought of in my head when I think of the Temptations. Love it!

Very good, and Dusty is classic!

I think this era in music gets a fair amount of "hate it or love it" type responses, so I guess this is a "love it" response. Very good album.

Ray Charles.

This is the stuff that's so far outside what I normally listen to that I'd never find it and ... if I never had, I'd be sad.

I cannot describe how much I loathe the Beatles and John Lennon.

Really good ... There are some very good, deep songs on here, tons of great beats, and a couple that were a little too pop for me.

Definitely a sound I like. I did note that the whole album has a pretty consistent sound, so listening to it back to back feels a bit repetitive.

Really good, but not my style. I'd definitely listen to it in a playlist, but I don't see myself listening to the album on it's own.

Bloody amazing, as all Neil Young & Crazy Horse is.

Best album ever

Very 80s, good, not entirely my vibe. Reminds me of a John Hughes movie.

Honestly ... eh. It's weird, because I know that a huge number of musicians - including musicians I like - cite SATB as an inspiration, but this was a very meh album to me.

Great live album from a great band

This album sucks. Like, suuuuuuuucks.

Really good album.

Really good, really weird!

I still can't find the appeal of David Bowie.

It's Soft Cell. It's aight.

This is a weird one for me. There's definitely some commonalities in sound with things I like (My Morning Jacket, specifically), but I just don't love it.

The Beatles are the Backstreet Boys of the 60s.

Really good! It's a sad story, too.

Better than I thought! I knew that one song, but the rest were all pretty good too.

Very, very good.

Really not my jam. Weird era in music.

a m a z i n g If you're not into jazz, this is a phenomenal start. If you are into jazz, you should only be reading this review because you already know it's amazing and you're just making sure I didn't say something stupid.

Very good! One song was definitely already familiar to me, probably from a movie?

If you haven't already listened to this, I am so jealous that you get to listen to it for the first time. Put it on the best speakers or headphones you have access to, turn it up as loud as you can tolerate, and enjoy.

It's Elton John. You don't need me to tell you that it's a banger.

F***ing banger

Very good, definitely reminds me of the era!

It took a while (lol, because it's a long album) to figure out why this didn't lock in for me. It's all very technically competent - no question, these are very proficient musicians - but it's like music for music nerds. Like, yeah, they're doing Good Musical Techniques, but it somehow falls short of Good Music, because it's ... boring. It's showing off.

The Beatles suck.

Weird. Not bad, but weird.

Weird, decent

Very 90s, not very notable

I remember this one. It's alright. Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Johnny Cash is the original punk rocker.

I cannot overemphasize how bad this is. That singer, those lyrics ... terrible.

It's Motörhead. There's only one button down there and it's five stars.

Pretty good album. Has a definite 90s vibe.

Amazing.

Not my favorite album by Nirvana, but a very good one.

lmao Kanye is on this list? Famous Nazi, Kanye? Nah bro, this ain't it

Very stereotypically 80s. Not my thing.

I really tried. This has a very classic sound, and if I were a different person, I could see why it's on the list. I can't do it, though.

It's the B-52s.

Sabbath as usual.

I get that there's an interesting idea here, but it is unfortunately poorly executed. This one's a nah for me, dawg.

A great album by a great artist. Even if you don't like country, this is easy to appreciate.

Decent dancey electronicy stuff. I wouldn't turn it off, probably!

Credit where credit is due, it led to "Can I Kick It?" ... but other than that, it's not that interesting. Is that the sound of an angle grinder in the first track?

It's not my favorite CSNY, but it IS CSNY. A very good album.

Weird, but an interesting concept.

Really great 80s album.

Fantastic pop punk!

Heavy. Not my favorite heavy band, but a definite classic by one of the greats.

Baaaaaanger. Probably their best? Amazing band.

I am no fan of the Beatles. ... but I didn't hate this. It's pretty good.

Celtic folk-punk will always be cool. This is no exception.

Jack White is always good, but this is more middle of the road to me than Great. It's good. I would listen to it again. I don't know that I would go search for it to listen to it.

Definitely different, definitely good.

The first song had big Public Enemy('s hits) energy, and I liked it! The rest of the album was not great.

It's Tom Waits. I always enjoy it, it's always weird.

Solid Gold. A classic.
