Different Class by Pulp
Mar 08 2024

Think driving down the countryside in a droptop Volkswagen beetle wearing brown corduroy bellbottoms heading for a weekend beach party with a group of similarly stoned friends, playlist. Lots of focus on the NSFW part of this scenario.

Mar 11 2024

Fans of Bob Dylan may enjoy, but wasn't for me. A lot of similar sounding songs in my opinion

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 12 2024

Not the best Album by Bob Marley & The Wailers. A few classics at the end of the album, but overall just OK

Queen II by Queen
Mar 14 2024

5 Big Stars. Always enjoyed Queen but never listened to much of their music. Really enjoyed this album.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Mar 18 2024

Pretty good album. Not a Tom Petty fan but the album was good. Short and sweet.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Mar 19 2024

Easy listen. Heavy on the instrumentals but nothing too special about it to me

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 20 2024

Not my style. Also, not the album's fault but kinda tired of the older similar sounding albums. Was ready for it to be over.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Mar 21 2024

I don't get it.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 22 2024

some classics on there. decent

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 25 2024

great album, great band led by a solid female vocalist

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 27 2024

Kinda boring. May sound better at a bar.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Mar 28 2024

maybe 2 listenable songs in the album.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
May 22 2024

Wouldn't say it's a must-listen. But I enjoyed it.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Sep 02 2024

not my kind of music but well put together and everything.

Blur by Blur
Jan 10 2025

Good album and is still relevant in todays music. Would listen to this again

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 13 2025

great album. still relevant today.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jan 14 2025

some great singles on the album. But album is a bit one-dimensional

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 16 2025

Enjoyed the album. Some funky and soulful songs

Jan 17 2025

Sorry, just cant reconcile the voice to the music. But good voice for audiobooks and good music for sesame street and sing alongs.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 01 2025

would give 10 stars if I could. I am bias growing up listening to this music but would give 5 stars to every song on this album

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 02 2025
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Mar 20 2025

Too many 'WTF is this' songs on the album. The remaining songs weren't good enough to bring the rating above a 1

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 21 2025

I don't know much about rock music artists but I enjoyed this album. Good tracks with some unique arrangements

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Mar 22 2025

Pleasantly surprised. All tracks are good one this one

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 25 2025

I get the Album. I get the lyrics. Funny hearing Drake on the album. Was decent

Bad Company by Bad Company
Mar 26 2025

It's good. Good songs for karaoke, good tracks to listen to. I would give it a half point more if I could. 3.5 stars

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Mar 27 2025

Voice is like Ellie Goulding so a good singing voice. Sorry, was just a bit bored listening to it. Lets say 2.5 rounded down to 2; but absolutely not rounded up to 3.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 28 2025

I might have had this CD when I was younger. I may rank it higher because of it.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 29 2025

The album cover had me expecting a different vibe. Stevie is incredibly talented, and really enjoyed this album. Funky, groovy, and def worthy of being on this 1001 album list. Enjoyed the classic hits from this album still being played at almost every good corner bar, at least on Bourbon Street.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Mar 30 2025

I always get scared when there’s psychedelia described in the album. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised. Would I listen to it again? No. But the musical arrangement flowed nicely and I appreciated the rhythm. I would give this 2.5 if I could.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Apr 01 2025

Really joyed the musical arrangements and strong blues influence, with strong vocalists. Yet lyrically similar to that of a drunken redneck.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Apr 02 2025

Solid live performance. I enjoy a good live performance. Guitarist, Band and Vocalist on point. But a whole album of a live performance? Not sure, but why not.. 3.5/5

Apr 05 2025

The first track on the album should be the last track on the album, or just not on the album. The ballad should be deleted. Some sneaky tracks changing genres 2 mins in. Call me crazy but I really enjoyed it minus the bad ones. The good tracks were great. The bad tracks are annoying. I loved the guitar; don't know what any lyrics were only because I was more engrossed in the music not the singing.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 06 2025

I can seriously appreciate the skills and talent. However this is a bit out of my realm. Seems a bit repetitive without much variety in some of the tracks. Have to give props for execution.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Apr 07 2025

Boring af. It's getting a 2 because the arrangements are good and there have been some true 0's on this 1001 list that I had to give a 1 to. I wouldn't group this album with them.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 08 2025

Not a fan. Unmemorable.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Apr 09 2025

forced singing voice a bit. lots of focus on vocals and seems shout-singing at times. lovely jazzy music, but there's better out there.

The Doors by The Doors
Apr 16 2025

enjoyed this one. Good melodies, good vocals, catchy music. Good overall

Damaged by Black Flag
Apr 17 2025

obviously punk. If you love punk, listen to it. If you don't, then don't. I don't but am giving it a 3 for truly embracing being punk. And that's all I can say.
