1001 Albums Summary

Smooth, cool, relaxing. I love hearing Charlie Byrd so subtly meshing with the saxophone. Great for a rainy night. Incredible backstory on Getz- how did he play through all the addictions.

I am glad I listened, but the songs did not make an impression with me- I kept thinking another instrument would come and join forces.

Loved this - again. I was lucky to see a Queen concert on I max in January. The songs are infectious- all of them.

I enjoy the energy on some songs, but I really don’t like the screaming voice. Some songs were fun, made you want to move, but not my thing.

Loved his voice, the songs- feel Bad that he fell off my radar.

I love this so much. Just when a listener takes iconic songs for granted, you hear Frank and the orchestra just create magic. I listened to this on what would have been my father's 89th birthday; the album came out when my parents got married. I can still see them dancing to these hits.

This album still resonates today. I cannot believe I listened when I was in highs school and when I taught high school. Teachers, leave those kids alone! Ironically, I listened as the world waits for the solar eclipse.

I absolutely love this album. Ron CC Isley’s voice can make you want to kick it up, romance the night away or just go with the summer breeze. Who’s That Lady is a classic/ I can still hear it streaming out of the student housing in my college years. Never knew Jimi Hendrix played with the Isleys. Funk and vibe and dance at it’s best,

Oh, I love this group and their songs. While I listened to these songs when I was 10, I continue to appreciate them, even more today. I had no idea they had a song with such a strong Latin connection - Sueno.

I will always love this album. Too many classics (Man in the Mirror, Bad, Smooth Criminal) to fade into obscurity.

Definitely not my kind of music.

While I enjoy listening to Ms. Jones' voice, the album does not stir me. I heard her take chances on a song with a slight country sound, but overall, the album did not seem to take chances.

I expected something very different. Not my sound.

I love every song on here.

While I love the hits, the lesser known songs definitely seemed dated, lacked ability to generate excitement.

It was such a treat to hear Rod Stewart's voice, young but still gravelly and compelling. I love this album.
