1001 Albums Summary

I tapped out at “swimming in the fallopian/of an Ethiopian”

I do not like The Doors but this is probably their best album. Bonus points for being short.

This was a great listen. Almost soothing in a way.

I'm sure this is very influential but there is nothing fun about this record. At all. Perhaps that is the point but decades later it is just a chore.

Not my style of music at all, and a little racy for the morning at work.

More like 3.5 but I'd rather estimate high on the punk records

I certainly listened to this a billion times when it came out. Having a Blast is three fire emojis.

Probably more like 3.5

Boring.

Boring.

It is kinda crazy that people think of this as a world changing record when its two biggest singles are covers.

Boring.

Just not my thing.

More like 3.5 but on the high end of that.

Influential but not great

I can hear this album in its entirety in my brain, and for 30 years no less.

Who has two thumbs and hates this record? My wife!

I swear I'm not a hater, I just don't care. "Blank Space" is an all-timer, though.

I remember buying this at Laserland. I think I still have it.

Kind of embarrassing, in hindsight.

I used to absolutely love this. Doesn't hold up for me.

This rules in dozens of ways.

This is one of those records that is important for its influence but not something you'd be throwing on all the time.

I have better memories of this record than it really deserves.

This is legitimately one of the greatest and most important albums ever made. I don't trust anyone who listens to punk/hardcore/metal and does not listen to the Ramones. It indicates a lack of joy/whimsy.

Really more 3.5, but on the higher end.

Really 2.5. This is one of those records everyone says they love but doesn't actually hold up when you listen to it over and over again. Is Henry Rollins REALLY just blasting this in his apartment?

I've had every word of this album memorized since the day it came out. It is more or less perfect.
