1001 Albums Summary

Not my favorite era of the arctic monkeys. But must give the credit it deserves. This album exploded these kids on to the scene when they were nearly still in diapers.

Not a fan of the police. This album has a frantic tempo that I just can't enjoy.

Blah blah blah. Rambling old man

Love these guys, but not my favorite album of theirs

Too slow and folky for my taste

First song is like a gay bar in your ears. Also kinda pedophilish

Nice to know he would do that for the incarcerated

Joni Mitchell's voice and style irk me

Classic album by one of the biggest artists of all time. Definitely got a lot of funk to it!

Love me some Abba. It was nice to listen to an actual studio release and not just greatest hits. Very abba'y no songs I recognized, but good none the less

Couple of good songs, but rolling stones should stay in their lane

Great album with lots of amazing songs on it. Not quite as good as by the way or stadium arcadium but solid nonetheless

I like how crunchy the plugged in stuff is. But Neil Young definitely falls into the shutup boomer file.

Great album. Q-tip has a unique and likeable cadence. I know him from his work with the chemical Brothers. I wonder if his name is reference to q-tips not being allowed in your ears, but still feeling so damn good.

Womp womp

Not a fan of British folk pop

There was alot of good stuff from this era of the 80s. This was not one of them. Nothing really stood out for me

Excellent old school hip hop. Great beats, great flow and a lovely little taste of the ODB on the last track.

If billy idol and George Michael had a love child that grew up to be a creepy predatory rapist. That's what kind of vibes this gives off

This gets the rare 5 stars solely for the song Angels. One of the greatest songs from the 90s

This album made me realize I'm officially at the "this music is just noise" age

Can't deny his talent and influence. 8 year old me would have given this a 5

Great songs, great harmonies, great voices. Bunch of classics on this album. I wonder how many millions of dollars from this album went towards cocaine?

Boring 60s folk

If I asked you to describe the 80s on a base guitar, this album would be it. I've known the name Steve Winwood since forever. This is my first time actually listening to him. There was lots of different sounds to this. Great guitar. Fun Bass. And all around a decent lesson but a little dated

Ah pretty unremarkable

Much like the previous Neil young album, not really my thing.

Very nice listen. Paul Simon is such an incredible writer. It's shocking how relatable some of lyrics are. I especially loved how all off the songs kind of tied together.

Meh

Okay this was just actual noise.

Classic Beck, real melancholy

Surprised on how awesome this was. I was expecting some lame rock songs about a girl who knows how to walk or some fancy suit. But no, it was a bunch of bluesy rock bad assery

A great album for listening to while making dinner. Lots of soul

You can really see what a huge influence this rambling was to James Murphy of LCD. It earns a 3. Not great enough for a 4, and not epic enough for a 5.

Some classic tracks on here but not overly my favorite genre

Excellent background music for making supper

I've heard the name for years but never actually listened. Over all pretty boring

A few songs on here that I didn't realize were covered. Great listen. Perfect for cooking super.

Good for a certain mood and setting. Not something I could listen to at work, but good for cooking dinner

Great album by a great band. This only gets a four though cause it's not plastic beach, and Damon Albarn is a wanker

Great album by a great artist

Really interesting to see another band that heavily influenced LCD

Great band, classic album

Definitely an interesting and eclectic album

One of the all time greats. Timeless and pure. Noel Gallaghers writing is just absolutely incredible. Liam is a wanker

Cool album but I couldn't listen to it regular

Very monotone and meandering. Kinda reminds me of destroyer

Some say this is the greatest Beatles album. That I'm not sure about but does have some great tracks. The best being in my life

I don't really have much to say about this album. Sounds like sonic youth.

Great album. Great bass, great vocals. Great drumming by the one and only ginger baker. It was interesting to hear some influence here onto queens of the Stone age. Josh home definitely takes some vocal influence from this band.

Nice easy listening I've heard the name for years but only new the one song. Not really much relisten factor

Not awful, but pretty unremarkable. Nothing to report

Classic heavy album full of bangers

Truely one of a kind. An epic triumphant rock opera the likes of which are unmatched. Werewolves, endless sexual induendo. Guitar solos and timeless vocals. Also, his name was Robert paulson

Great album by an incredible artist. To this day probably my favorite concert I've ever been to

Vulgar and classic.

Love making music right here

What are you going on about?

Like a 90s gaybar. Some good tracks on it though

Great album with great flow. I especially like chali 2nas deep baritone

Alotta classic songs on here. But I can really only handle so much of John Fogertys voice

Man nothing beats old school hip hop. The skits, the cadence, the rhymes, the beats. A great classic hip hop album

I'm surprised by the similarities with these guys and the tragically hip. Hip better though obviously

Interesting that the name Janice Joplin gets thrown around all the time. But she was just a member in a band. Some classic songs on here. But Janice does have a big Kermit the frog vibe.

Classic album with great tunes.its incredible to think this was their debut album

Unremarkable. I like a few of their songs but nothing on this album tickled my fancy

Surprised to see it was almost 40 minutes long but only 2 songs. Jazz man! Great cooking dinner album

Not as bad as the last pj Harvey album on this list. But still not my favorite. A little bid of KD Lang vibe

I was expecting to hear a song about missing you like the deserts miss the rain. I didn't hear it. I moved on with my life.

Great chill album. Excellent for cooking dinner

Interesting to see the influence this had on others. Mainly belle and Sebastian from last week on this list. I would file this under "what are you rambling about?"

This live jam seemed just like one long continuous song. A bit repetitive. I'm not sure what the Deadheads are going on about.

An absolute banger of an album. This album both opens and closes with two of the most epic songs ever. If I ever want to introduce a band to muse I put on this and I crank it to 11. Worthy of the elusive 5

Some classics on this album. I'm not huge on Kanye, he kinda irks me. But definitely some good tracks

Nothing to report. Easy listening, non memorable

Ahhh I'm not a huge metal guy. I guess these guys were Pioneers of some sort. Rob Halford can sure scream though.

Great album. Who knew she was such a dirty girl. There's some pretty heavy topics on this album. I gave it two listens and will keep it in rotation.

Listened to it while make some apple crisp. The apple crisp turned out great.

Cool classic rock album from a band I've never given the time of day. I'm sure my dad knows every song

I listened to it. Kinda cool. Kinda forgettable

You can definitely hear how Nirvana gets influenced by these guys

Interesting earlier album from these guys. A few classics on it and alotta southern influenced bluesy type stuff.

I'm surprised the year this was made. It's straight outta the 70s

Classic soulful album. Lots of themes of love and getting together in piece. Kind of ironic there's some lines about his dad. Who ended up you know, uhh shooting him. A little too much Jesus for me

See the rating below for at San Quentin. Cause it's about the same

Some great themes and lyrics on this album. Wish I had the chance to see him. Fucking covid

I'm surprised I've never listened much to these guys considering how much I like gorillaz. I now know why I don't. Oasis is better

Like a csny album but just the C. Pretty unremarkable

Nothing to report. Listened to it while cooking dinner. Had some Paul Simon sound to it

Great album. Had lots of cool B sides that I had never heard before. Definitely will give another listen

I'm a big fan of 90s jams. But some reason this didn't overly do it too much for me. Some decent songs but some absolute turds

Never given a full listen to one of their albums. Some decent songs but nothing special.

Some real Honky Tonk Honky Tonk music

Too melancholic for my likes. But a couple of good songs.

Nice easy cooking supper music

Some cool 80s sounds.

Some nice ambiance. I was too young to realize how important these guys were.

Overtly sexual, silly and all around fun. A few of the songs I recognized which I always thought were blur songs. Who knew!

No denying what this album did. I feel like it's just been played to death. I haven't listened to it in 25 years probably. My feelings are still meh.

Super fun, weird and chaotic. I've heard the name lots before so nice to hear some actual music of his.

Super funky, super fun. Stevie sure has an incredible voice.

Awesome album from someone I've never ever heard of before. It was witty, some silliness but still profound. I must have listened to it four times in a row.

Most of these songs have been played into oblivion. Jesus of suburbia gives this the additional star

The rare 5. This album held a major part in shaping my life. They reunited in 2007 for Coachella. 19 year old me, fresh with my first ever credit card, bought a bunch of tickets on a whim. We ended up going to Coachella 10 years in a row. It sparked my love of live music and festivals. Obligatory: fuck you I won't do what you tell me

Sounds like this girl had one two many of the cocktails at the bar she was singing at.

I listened to 4 different versions of the album thinking it was the same

Soulful smooth and beautiful.

Awesome and jazzy. Listened to it the night I proposed to my future wife.

Short and sweet. Not so sweet.

Yeah no yeah. Some sinkers some floaters. Like meatloaf said, two outta three ain't bad

More like goldcrapp

Background music. Nothing worth noting

Surprisingly decent. I couldn't listen to it regularly, but I did enjoy it.

Jazzy and good supper cooking music.

A little too british-y for me

50 minutes of clanks, bangs, whips and just utter garbage. The only thing worse than a Peter Gabriel album is a Phil Collins album

Surprisingly decent. Never ever listened to her stuff. Kind of gave me a lady gaga vibe

Not my favorite Tom Waits album, but still some decent growly raspy stuff. Some great lyrics. Jersey girl was the highlight

Great double album by one of the all time best.

Today I learnt that there's a difference between roots and The roots

Pretty decent background album. I'd love to see the boss some day.

Mostly just noise to me. I really didn't get much outta this

Alot better than the last Dylan album on this list. Not so much rambling

An incredible debut album. Tons and tons of bangers on this one. It brings me back to an incredible point in my youth. It would get a 5, but the last 1/4 of the album kinda drops off a bit.

Completely unremarkable until that all you need is love/Dylan cover came on. That was trash

This is what I imagine would be playing though my head if I was larping at a medieval fair

I'm really not into the tiny Tim vibratos

I mean there are some bangers on here. This brings me back to like grade 6

I always hated Paul Simon growing up. But he sure has grown on me. Motherless child reunion is an amazing song. This album is great ambiance for a nice visit with friends

Much like the previous album I hated these guys growing up. Their constant airplay and cheese beards irked me. But much like the last album of theirs on this list I quote enjoyed it. Some songs have been played to death on the radio, but that's not their fault for making great songs

Some great songs. Some great funk and some great lyrics.

Rem sure sounds alot like the tragically hip. No Canadians we'll never understand their impact.

Interesting for sure. Considering these guys were at the forefront of EDM. I felt the rpms were a little too slow

Tasha said she wasn't a fan. I'm surprised how many of these songs I've actually heard before. Kinda surprising. I liked it myself.

This has been played to death. Eddie Vedder is over rated

The screams and wails in the album are pretty next level. Some sick solos from Mr Ritchie Blackmore as well

Morrissey is a pompous whining loser.

Great timeless album. I grew up listening to and watching the last Waltz over and over again.

It's like Bjork at a renaissance fair. This is like cranking bjorks shittiness up to 11.

Much like a previous one, I'm surprised how much honky Tonk country there was in this album. Definitely some massive classic songs though

Like taking an electronic journey to the middle east. Decent cooking supper music.

Real 90s. And not in a good way. I did recognize one song though.

Pretty decent. Very British sounding of that era. I didn't recognize any songs but I still enjoyed the album.

This falls under the "what are you rambling about?" Category.

Boring. Not even okay for background noise

They really missed the opportunity to open with foreplay/long time. It would have been one of the best opening tracks to a song ever. Just a slap you in the face intro

Not my favorite genre but the lady can't sure wail

This album lived on repeat in my head as a teenager. I always wanted to be Jim Morrison. I had a hair to match. Great from start to end

If there's such thing as a perfect album, this album is not it. It starts off real strong. The first few songs are incredible, but it really drops off on the bottom part of the album.

I love the Beatles. Everything the did, I enjoy. I especially like the covers on this album.

Soulful and nice to listen to. Not much else for input

I wish I had more to say about this album. I really dig the bass lines in it. Nothing else to report though unfortunately

To me this is just your standard run of the mill jazz. Nothing too special

The comeback. The return of ACDC. Honestly it's just a bunch of songs of sexual innuendo. But then again alot of music is just that. I much prefer the bonn Scott days.

Pretty good opening song. But beyond that pretty unremarkable.

Atmospheric, ambient and melancholic. A nice album for background music.

A couple good songs, but just not quite Oasis.

Good supper making music.i love some Arabic/middle eastern jams

Surprisingly well produced and some funny skits. I feel like rap album skits are of a bygone era.

Simple... Love making music.

Have you listened to the who? This is a who album... Sept live

Good flow and good lyrics.

Background music for making supper. Nothing to report.

Funky and up beat.

Kinda repetitive.

Great album with some massive songs on it. Avoids the elusive 5 though cause there are a few duds on it.

Pretty fun album. A few songs that I recognized on it.

One step above noise.

Ive been enjoying alotta stuff of this style lately.

Honky tonk indeed. This was fun

Donovan? I'm wanting nonofhim. Pretty boring

Pretty nice spin of blues on this one.

If I was alive in 1973 I'm positive that I would be making some sweet love to this album at some point

Decent for background noise

A little bit more noisier than some of his other stuff. I have always enjoyed Fatboy Slim. I've had the pleasure of seeing him live a few times. It was always a blast.

This one sure pushed my limits on my no skip rule. It did have a few bass lines that were groovy. A little bit of a Les Claypool feel to some songs.

I find my mind blanking on what to wit about this album. It really didn't do anything for me. There was a couple songs I recognized on it.

A little too heavy on the keys for me.

Fine for background music. But I'm not really a big drum and bass guy. The tempo is too frantic for my already frantic brain.

Pretty groovy and fun. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys play right before rage against the machine at Coachella '07. The crowd was going bonkers!

Good easy listening Clapton. Some reggae feel to it.

Pretty easy listening album. I do like early Coldplay alot better than newer Coldplay

Some classic jams on this one. It definitely sounds like the 90s

Pretty cheesie. Rock operaish

A surprise but not surprising. Brings me back to my jack johnson days

Another classic old school hip a Hop album. Worth a relisten

Punk is probably my least favorite genre.

Awesome reggae tones. Surprised a few songs I thought were Marley songs all these years

Great Valentine's Day dinner background music.

Great classic album from the boss. Lotsa epic songs on this one

A good 90s hip hop album. Lighten em up!

A nice soulful album to listen to. I was lucky to see her live at coachella before her passing

Being Fugazi I'm sure there's an interesting message in here somewhere. Unfortunately this is too punkish for my liking.

I like hotchip but I've never listened to this album. It was very enjoyable. Definitely has an LCD feel to it. Makes sense since one of the hotchip members is also a LCD member.

I'm giving this 2 stars because of the significance. David Lee Roth is completely insufferable though. The barbershop quartet part was pretty lame as well.

First time listening to this album. I'm not a big pumpkins guy but I did enjoy it.

Funky and fun. Surprisingly good

Big prince guy over here. While not his best there are still some bangers on here. Solid listen all around.

I missed their hay day which is unfortunate. They would have been awesome to see live in their prime. Let's go Karen I!

Love me some bowie. Some great tunes on here. Some not so great tunes on here. All in all though a great listen

I don't have too much thoughts on this album.

Nice easy listening supper music. I listened to it at the gym. It did not fit the vibe.

Interesting for sure. I dont know why but it made me want to try heroin

Nice chill ambient sound. Nothing jaw dropping though but great background music.

Classic standard Bob Dylan. I've never been a huge Dylan guy. My opinion still stands.

Super cool. It's neat hearing the beginnings of EDM. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

I've never ever listened to a full flaming lips album. This was my first. I recognized a few songs on it. I have seen them live before which is a cool experience. But they aren't overly my favorite

As one of the, if not THE best selling album of all time, I found it a little lackluster. Sure it has some huge huge hits on it, and they're great if course. A few of the fillers just didn't hit as hard as I'd have liked.

This was a great listen. There was a few songs I recognized as well as an over all pleasant listening experience. I will listen again.

This is pure 1997s pop. I could care less about Mariah Carey. I'm giving it a two only because of the banging Prince cover.

The rare and elusive 5. I love every song on this album. It's a banger from front to back. I especially love the prominent baritone sax that pops up in certain moments throughout the album.

Good laid back cooking dinner music.

This makes me feel like sitting around in a circle with my friends and getting high.

Can't find this album. Gets a 2

First time I've listened to an Elvis album. There was some pretty cheesy songs on this one. But overall not bad.

Great album front to back. Top 5 hiphop albums for me.

Pretty unremarkable

Wow a 5 on a first listen. I loved this album. A few of them I recognized, but it was all pleasant and nice. Man can Harry Nilsson belt it out. I got a lot of John grant vibes from it. Plus just the title, Nilsson schmilsson. Gold !

Melobooorrring

Alotta sounds on this one. I've never been a huge pumpkin guy, this has not changed that. I've once heard this album called one of the greatest double albums of all time. That guy was an idiot.

Bottled up 90s female rage. She lead that scene!

Some great classic rock sounds on this album. Such a tragic story. This is right up there in terms of Southern Rock height

The first of a couple elusive 5 stars this week. This album is pure cheese rock. And I mean that in the highest regards. What the darkness did with this album was epic. I'm glad to hear they're still at it. Oh and get your hands off of my woman mother fuckkkkaaa

That's sure alotta Glock. Or maybe it's a xylophone I'm not sure.v

I've been waiting for this one. Easily an elusive 5. I put this as one of my top albums of all time. It's raw, sexual, dirty and just grooves so well. Prince still stands as the best concert I've ever seen. He was added a few days before Coachella '08 and what a treat it was. This album is cooking dinner album, a cleaning the house album, a backround party album and lastly a love making album. Prince is one of the GOATs

Another album of noise from zappa

Pretty cool to listen to once, but not much I'd repeat

I'm really not a linkin Parker.

This was fun. You can definitely hear the eroticism in it haha. I've been into alot of 80s stuff lately. This will get another listen

A little too oohhh my dog died blueys for me.

Chill ambient backround music. A bit repetitive, but over all pretty decent.

Strangely enough, this one was already on my list. Pretty good listen

Had some good jams, and some bad ones as well. I enjoyed it though

16 year old me has to give this the rare elusive 5. It just wouldn't feel right not to. At this point in my life I don't listen to often, but there was a point where this was my life.

Similar to another album this week, this sounded different than I was expected for a stooges album. The word raw is what came to mind. Alot more backroom bar bluesy than punky. A decent listen

Pretty standard run of the mill millennium era hip hop. Good beats, good flow

This album was awesome. What a surprise. Had a few songs that I thought were Harry neillson. Very cool and definitely on the relisten list. Great bass. Great lyrics and vocals.

I just saw Richard Ashcroft a few weeks ago opening for oasis at wemley stadium. He was great and the crowd went nuts for an opening act. This album is pretty great. Bittersweet and lucky man are definitely the highlights.

Not of what I would have thought a NERD album would sound like, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

It was nice to listen to the whole album after hearing a select few songs all the time over the years. Great songs about outlaws, wrong people, paying the price, truly a great album.

Pretty rare for just an instrumental album. This was nice background music

Not quite earth wind and fire

I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb. Rules to live by. Rules to grow by. I was taught this lesson when I was 7 years old. To this day, unreal album.... The elusive 5

The elusive 5. As a teenager I absolutely idolized these guys. I am the lizard King, I can do anything

Pretty awful. All it made me feel is the desire for me to remove a few ribs

Unremarkable

Not my thing at all.

This was the exact definition of zainy. It was a trip to the circus.

Pretty hard to rate. It was mostly just noise.

Morrisey is a wanker

Not much to say about this one. Not really my cup of tea.

I feel like this was one hour of the same song on repeat. It definitely sounds like how I would assume the 70s sounded.

Wasn't Phil Spector a diddler? Or was it murderer?

This was awesome. Like a bluesy ababdou and Miriam. Definitely will get another listen

I'm not really a pink fan. I have it two cause at least it was short

First time listening to an album by this gent. Pretty groovy. But what I want to know is, how did Austin powers know who he was ?!?

I've always compared the chronic to terminator. The first one is great and a classic in its own right. But the sequel came and just blew it outta the water. This album is similar to that.

Teenage me would have given this a far bigger number than currently. Some decent songs but it just doesn't do it for me anymore.

The first song made me think it was gonna be some nice soulful 70s jam. But then it turned into run of the mill elevator jazz

A 5er. Jack white can do no wrong in my books. He's been consistently putting out amazing music for the last 25 years.

Loud and fast. This is the first time I've listened to an iron maiden album. It's not really my cup of tea.

Classic beach boys tones and vibes. I really don't have much for this. As expected.

Pretty awesome album that I haven't really given a full listen to before. As much as I don't have a taste for some of this stuff anymore. Teenager me loved it. So some nostalgia blooms when listening.

The boss. While not too high on my mountain of rock stars, there's no denying what this man has done and continues to do. I'd like to opportunity to see him sometime.

Is this punk? Is this newave? I really had a difficult time categorizing this one. I didn't like it, but also didn't not like it.

Pure 70s rock. I've always heard the name king Crimson but never actually heard it. Nothing standout. Pretty standard 70s prog rock

Tom Waits is kind of hit or miss to me. There was a few decent songs on this but also alot of ramblings of a crazy man.

I've never heard of this before. It was an interesting listen. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but I didn't mind it

Started out pretty sweet but plateaued immediately. The first song made me have high hopes but the rest was unremarkable

Jazz

Nothing really to report here. Decent listen

Jazz.

Fun new sounds. This was great to me and my wife later on. I'll save it for future listening

Not that great. Maybe it was an off day but I felt it just didn't hit me like some of his other stuff.

Elvis always surprises me. I enjoyed this endeavor into his catalogue. The suggested list following was also nice.

Legit just noise. It opened hard and quick but seriously just noise.

I like these guys, but this really was an entire od to the south, which myself I do not know what he's talking about

I listened but have nothing to contribute. Pretty bluesy with some funk

Not my favorite Bowie album. There was a few fluffers but some decent songs.

Thubdercat to me is just noise. He has some funny and witty lyrics, but the 48 string bass he plays is just to frantic for regular listening.

What a great pop album. Super catchy and some fun electro feel. I recognized songs but that's it. Ill definitely relisten.

Surprisingly enjoyable early electronic album. Pretty cutting edge

What a journey. This really had it all. What a set of pipes on the singer. She sure could wail and belt it out. Not my cup of tea for music. But talented and good production.
