The perfect early Beatles album. Has a ton of classics and some hidden gems too. The harmonies on this one are unmatched and the instrumental is improved from "With The Beatles" (although even that was good). This album is pretty significant for The Beatles because it is the first one to feature only songs written by them. The lyrics are an improvement from previous albums but don't compare to later ones. Still, it's an album I like to listen all the time. Also the cover is great! Favorite songs: A Hard Day's Night, I Should Have Known Better, If I Fell, And I Love Her, Tell Me Why, Can't Buy Me Love, Any Time At All, You Can't Do That, I'll Be Back

I went into this album expecting to hate it after reading the reviews. After listening to the first few songs I realized I must have a problem. This album is so much better then I thought it was going to be! Music was good with the goofiest vocals on top of them. Although not incredible, it is an underrated gem.

Dear users of the 1001 album generator, Stop over rating this album. It's good, but not the best album of all time, not even close. "Chains" and "I Don't Want To Know" are great songs, but the rest are just fine. There are other albums on this list that are just better and more consistent. Sincerely, #1 Abbey Road Enjoyer.

It's kind of edgy but also some of the lyrics are pretty stupid. Guitar is pretty fire though. Although it's good, Black Sabbath is way better.

It's been a while since I got a really good album. Although I've never heard of the album before, it pleasantly surprised me. The instruments and vocals make songs that are creative and come together nice. The drums are especially good. The only song that wasn't great was, "We Walk" but otherwise definitely a good album to hear. Glad I got to listen to this album, 4/5

I went in not expecting much but god damn this is a good album. Literally all bangers.

Pretty good album although some of the songs are too edgy for my taste. Although this is a 4, it is close to being a 5 but just misses the mark. This is because there are a few songs I would skip on next hearing. Overall, great stuff and a great introduction to Linkin Park

First two songs were its best and the rest was just good, nothing special. It was enjoyable, but I'm disappointed by the lack of eagles.

Moondance is one of my mom's favorite albums so I was excited to listen to it. The titular song is definitely the best in the album, but other songs like "Into the Mystic" and "Caravan" were great too. I also did not know "Crazy Love" originated in this album, which was cool. The rest of the album was a little more forgettable but due to the strong first half I'll give it a 4/5

Creepiest album cover of all time. Overall album was fine except for "Turn Blue" which was exceptionally awful.

It's kind of edgy but also some of the lyrics are pretty stupid. Guitar is pretty fire though. Although it's good, Black Sabbath is way better.

Not my thing.

I always love to find underrated gems and this is one of them. Although Stevie Wonder is incredibly popular, I've never heard of this album before. The opening song, "Smile Please", is a great chill start. The rest of the album doesn't slack either with songs like "Creepin'", "You Haven't Done Nothin'", "Bird of Beauty", and "Boogie on Reggae Woman". The ending track, "Please Don't Go" is a great finale that lets the album go out with a bang. From the vocals, to the instrumentals, and the harmonica solos in practically every song, this album is amazing. Easy 5/5

This album is difficult for me to rate. The instrumentals are all really good but the vocals are just not for me. I want to give it a 4 but no songs really stuck out to me as something I would listen to again. Unfortunately, this is a 3/5 for me.

This album intrigued me prior to listening as I've never listened to a Johnny Cash album. I immediately noticed that this album is mostly composed of covers as I saw my favorite song ever made, "In My Life". As I started too listen to the album I figured Johnny Cash's voice would annoy me, but it actually grew on me. Listening to the first few songs, I really enjoyed the calm nature of the songs. I finally got to, "In My Life" and really liked it. I liked how they shaped the song to fit Cash's style including the change to George Martin's piano solo. This goes for the rest of album as all songs are adapted well. Really solid, 4/5

Funk + Rock + Portuguese lyrics = A surprisingly great album! 4/5. Did not expect something like this to be on the list, but I'm glad it is.

If The Beatles, "Baby's In Black" was a whole album. Everything is played and performed well, just is very slow. Overall, mid album.

I'm just saying, there is an album that released a month after this that is better in every way which didn't make it on the list. WHERE IS WEEZER!! This album was mid and the beat drops were not satisfying. Got to give it a 2/5

I cannot stand the beats in background. It feels like I'm listening to a bunch of electricity. If I wanted to listen to this album, I may as well go to the local science center and put my ear next to the electric ball. Vocals are not for me either. For me, this album has 0 redeeming qualities. My first 1/5

It's been a while since I got a really good album. Although I've never heard of the album before, it pleasantly surprised me. The instruments and vocals make songs that are creative and come together nice. The drums are especially good. The only song that wasn't great was, "We Walk" but otherwise definitely a good album to hear. Glad I got to listen to this album, 4/5

Great album, definitely an underrated classic.

This album is basically the definition of rock. It's great and all the songs work. The only issue is that it is missing something. There's nothing that makes it stand out compared to other rock albums. Even with that, this is an essential album.

This album is solid. First half is really good and although the second half is weaker, it still has some great tracks. Would recommend and would probably listen to again.

It's good but too 80s sounding.

This album is a vibe. Songs are way too long though.

It's okay, but just not for me.

I don't know why I never listened to this album before, but thank god I have now. All the songs have amazing guitars and drum performances. "Gimme Three Steps" is a groovy song that mixes its goofy premise seamlessly. "Free Bird" is the standout song from this album and it is iconic. That ending guitar solo is the perfect 4 minutes to end the album. If you've never listened to this, you definitely should (5/5)

Really interesting album with experimental music. The highlights were "Tc and Honey bear", "Chicken Bones", and "Queen of Denmark". Wasn't sure if I'd like this album, but glad I did.

Gotta love that trumpet!

Extremely creative and I like how the songs seem to flow together.

Why are all the lyrics in this album so sus. Other than that, all the instruments are played really well and can't fault it. Still a 3/5 for just how weird these lyrics are.

It's alright but not for me.

30 albums in and I finally got an album I not only know, but love. This album is Stevie Wonder in his prime and you can tell. The first two songs in the album are a little slow but are still enjoyable. These songs show that this album is going to be using synths more then the average Stevie Wonder album. It starts picking up with "Living in the City" which is a great song that highlights the inequality seen in cities like New York. "Golden lady" is a great follow up to the last song which is much more positive in contrast. "Higher Ground" is the next song and maybe the most popular from the album. The backing of this song is iconic and everything about it shows how great this album is. Although I usually don't like over preaching songs, "Jesus Children of America" is undeniably great. "All in Love is Fair" is an easy Stevie Wonder classic. "Don't You Worry Bout' A Thing" is just perfection. The opening shows Stevie Wonder with just the most insane rizz. It then slowly builds into this amazing chorus showcasing Stevie's incredible voice. I love how it implements a new section near the end and mixes it with the chorus, just amazing. I listen to this song to de-stress as it just reminds me that everything in life is going to be alright. One of my favourite songs of all time. "He's Misstra Know-it-All" is a great ender to the album having a great piano backing. Overall if you like music in general, this album is essential for you to listen to. TLDR: I thought it was good and you should listen to it.

Great album with the best musicians. All instruments are played to perfection. Only issue is that the songs aren't as memorable for me.

Very weird and not in a good way. Some of it is ok, but the rest is just not for me.

The backing is great. Other than that it is pretty standard for now, but considering the time it could have been cool. Sadly, it doesn't compare to modern music of the same sort.

I really liked today's album. Went in not expecting the best but the moment I heard the first song, I knew it was going to be good. All the songs are so lively and make you want to dance. Only issue is it is too long (I know it's the extended version on Spotify but the original is still an hour long). Definitely worth a listen, 4/5

This album is David Bowie's last set of songs. I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately I didn't. The songs were just not for me with the exception of "Dollar Days" and "I Can't Give Everything Away" which I thought were pretty good. The mix of really good and bad make this a 3/5 in my eyes.

The second song reminded me of a book I read as a kid called "I Wish that I had Duck Feet". This book traumatized me cause they threw the kid in a zoo at the end. Like why would they do that, he's a little boy, don't lock him in zoo jail!! Also this album was fine.

Album cover looks like four moist criticals pretending to be Queen. Good album though!

James Brown is iconic so I was excited to get this album. The intro hyped me up so much as they announced the legend onto the stage. Then it starts to go and it doesn't stop until the last second of the last song. This album is so lively and makes you feel like you're there at the concert. I didn't expect to give this a 5 because it was a live album, but it definitely deserves one.

This album is punk in its purest form.

Although it is an important record for music history I just don't get it. It sounds like it was played at a baseball game and it was not for me. "Green Onions" the song was ok but nothing crazy. "Twist and Shout" was interesting as an instrumental but I much prefer The Beatles version. Overall it was just fine.

I really like how some of the songs are connected through the theme of a classroom. Overall, album is really solid. Every song is really well made and transitions well between each other. Only problem is it is a little long.

I can see how this band inspired Lynyrd Skynyrd! The instruments are played really well and the solos rock. Issue is some of the songs are too long

I feel like I should like this album. It is very interesting as a lot is going on in each song. I can't stand the singing though. I want to give this a 3 so badly but I also can't stand listening to his voice do it's a 2.

Damn this is old. I've listened to older albums on here like "Birth of Cool" but this just feels so ancient. It's just her and the guitar which is an admirable feat but, it sucks. The guitar is fine but her singing is not for me at all. The fact that nothing else is going on other than the guitar and vocals makes it a very skippable album.

For me this album is nothing special. It's trying to be original, which I appreciate, but it still somehow sounds basic. I can't explain why but it is just very middle of the road.

Just an album to chill to good music and comforting vocals.

This album defined the blues. It is really good but a little repetitive by the end.

This album is working on all levels. Every instrument is played to perfection and just sounds amazing. It is on the shorter side but makes up for it with some amazing music.

This is boring

Conclusion is that this album has a better song called "Mother" than Synchronicity does.

Not for me as I find it too outdated and cringey. Like when the hook of the last song is just the clock sound, you can see why this album is cheesy as all hell. Results in it feeling mid.

This album is pretty interesting as some of it is amazing while other parts are just ok. I think I'm more of a fan of Dr. Dre's style as his parts of songs tend to be much more interesting. The other songs sound a little primitive by today's standard. I do like the attitude of this album as you can tell they don't care what anyone thinks about them. Overall I admire the album but it's just not a five for me as it isn't as consistent or good as albums like Illmatic.

I'm having nightmares tonight, THANKS!!! This album is literally just a shitpost.

I'm not a huge fan of country music. That probably explains why I don't like this album. I can understand why people think it's good, but personally I don't get it.

Hey, isn't that the song from Better Call Saul but LIVE!! Overall I thought the songs were good but would have preferred to not listen to it live as it has too many long unnecessary solos.

A live album without any filler, that's crazy! Really good stuff and had some great songs. My favorite was, "Baby, I Love Your Way". One of the best live albums 4/5.

If "The Rockefeller Skank" wasn't on here, it would be a 1. This album is practically unlistenable as it is annoying. That one song is good but that's it, everything else is god awful.

This cover is all I needed to know that this was a 5 star album. Helped that the songs were also really good. Literally all of them are good and some are just amazing. My favorites are "Girls and Boys", "Parklife", "To the End", and "Badhead".

Legendary album that defines what reggae is about. If you listen to any individual part of any of these songs, it will be perfect. Truly a 5 star album.

First song is really great although the rest is just good.

Other than the disturbing album cover this is a pretty okay record. Its main issue is that a lot of it sounds the same, allowing the songs to blend together in your memory. It's worth a listen but probably wouldn't go back to this one.

I didn't know music could sound this good. Each song introduces amazing hooks and endings that perfectly conclude the song. This album blew my expectations away becoming an easy 5/5 for me.

I've heard of Neil Young before but never listened one of his albums. This one is actually pretty great. The use of acoustic and electric guitar is nice and his vocals are great. For me, there are some duds keeping it away from a 5/5.

Unless you're trying to go to sleep, this album isn't worth it. That is with two exceptions which use electric guitar as that's just going to wake you up. 3/5

This is my second Neil Young album I've gotten and also happens to be his second album. Not as good as "After the Gold Rush" but still a great album. Some songs on it do go on a bit too long. It's nothing crazy, but still a solid album.

The band behind this album is just amazing. In every song the instruments are played expertly. The issue for me is Springsteen's voice. Although I got used to it, his voice can be really hard to understand. Pretty good album though and makes sense as part of this list.

Wow! This is kind of bad. Listening to this album just feels underwhelming despite me having no expectations for it.

I love the use of synths in this album. Really gives it a unique identity making it weird but interesting to listen to. Definitely need to take a closer listen to as there is so much going on. Another point to highlight was the introspective nature of the album having a lot of lyrics which I could relate to.

Really great and creative album. Just like "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", I like how the songs are interconnected. The blending of all these different genres also help this album have a unique and memorable personality. Definitely one I need to listen to regularly to really appreciate it due to all the detail. Some songs do miss the mark though so it isn't a 5/5 but still great.

Most people's first Radiohead album is not this one but for me it is. I thought it was good but just didn't really do anything that crazy. I've never heard of this album before today and I get why. It uses synths a lot, which can be ok, but in this instance was annoying. I'm hoping the other Radiohead albums sound better than this one.

All of the songs themselves are really good. They have a great beat and usually a great baseline. The issue is the messages in the song are told to you very point blank. Also the guy's voice sounds goofy. Still, a very deep album with an approachable beat.

It's alright but nothing special. Sounds too 80's for me.

While listening to this album, I can see the influence on The Beatles. The harmonies especially are reminiscent of an early Beatles album. The songs are pretty good but compared to rock and roll as we know it now, it is rather simplistic. Cool to hear Buddy Holly's music after listening to the song, "Buddy Holly" all the time.

This album started so strong but then ended do badly. Between "I can't get over you" and "cuckoo", I was done. What the hell happened? It feels like they didn't even try for the end. Still, the beginning was good and had potential.

I had no expectations for this album but it is now one of my favorite albums I've discovered though this project. Every song is a banger. I tend to not rate albums 5 stars as I leave it for perfect/close to perfect albums. This album is 100% perfect. Favorite songs: "Gotta Get Up", "Down", "Without You", "Coconut"

The debut of the rap god! The personality of this album is great. Just like NWA, Eminem does not give a shit about saying PG lyrics. I mean one of the songs is about some guy getting rid of his ex-wife's body. It is truly unhinged and stands out among rap albums. The songs themselves are also really catchy despite being dark.

It's almost like this album is boring or something. OH WAIT, IT IS ANOTHER BORING 70's ALBUM! This album is so uninteresting and has no identity of its own.

Shalimar is an interesting album as it is actually the soundtrack for a movie of the same name. It makes me wonder why can't other movie soundtracks like "Star Wars A New Hope" or "The Lion King" be on this list. Anyway this sounds like granny music. Some of it is really good and interesting while as other parts straight up suck. Weird album but balances to be a 2.

I listened to Meat is Murder a while back and thought it was fine. Going into this album I was certain I wasn't going to like it but I was wrong. I ended up really enjoying it. A main problem is mine for Meat is Murder was Morrissey's singing but in this album it clicked for me. Not only that but the musicians were also really good. All in all, I'm shocked that this album was as good as it was. A 4/5 for me. He does seem like an ass though.

I liked that this album used a mix of instruments led by piano. It added depth to a lot of the record. The songs were sung great and had lyrics with a ton of substance. There is some Latin influence in this album which also works great. Favorite songs: Sleep To Dream, Criminal, The First Taste

I love this album so much. I started listening to Zeppelin around September of 2023 and started with this album. Now I listen to these songs on a daily basis and can't get enough. How the hell was this whole album recorded in 36 hours! Maybe it's because each member of the band are the best at what they do. Jimmy Page is an amazing guitarist and his solos are legendary. JPJ adds great basslines that always are amazing. Plant's vocals are perfect. For me the star is John Bonham with his top of the class drumming. This is showcased in "Dazed and Confused" where he is killing it. These are 4 of the best musicians of all time and this album is a showcase of their genius. Favourite songs: Good Times Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Dazed and Confused, Communication Breakdown, I Can't Quit You Baby Dazed and confused btw is one of my favourite songs of all time.

I was excited to get this album as I already like Hey Ya and The Way You Move. This album is interesting as it is basically two in one so I'll review each one separately. Speakerboxxx is the first album and it's great. This is the Big Boi side and it's style is more traditional Outkast. The balance of Big Boi's deep voice while rapping with the great backing and usually higher voice of the chorus work really well together. Every song is pretty good and all work together. Favorite songs: Bowtie, The Way You Move, Church, Knowing, Flip Flop Rock Now for Andre 3000's side, The Love Below. Immediately you notice the difference from the first half. Every song is different taking from a bunch of genres creating a cool eclectic listening experience. It especially works considering Speakerboxxx tends to not switch it up like this half does in terms of musical styles. I mean there's an instrumental version of My Favourite Things which is crazy. Lyrically it is also impressive showing the different views of love both positive and negative. Favorite songs: Love Hater, Happy Valentine's Day, Prototype, She Lives In My Lap, Hey Ya, Roses, Dracula's Wedding, My Favorite Things, Take Off Your Cool Overall these albums are amazing musically and lyrically. Combined it is a legendary listening experience which is easily a 5/5.

This is one of the best albums ever made. So many of Stevie Wonder's hits are on this album alongside some of his most lyrically and musically complex and brilliant songs. So many lyrics of this album like the ones for Pastime Paradise are so amazing and make an important statement. I'd like to highlight the song "As" because it is my favorite from this album. The build-up is incredible and the theme of love is so well presented. This is Stevie Wonder's magnum opus and peak album. It is one of the best albums of all time without a question. Favorite songs: Sir Duke, I Wish, Knocks Me Off My Feet, Pastime Paradise, Summer Soft, Ordinary Pain, Isn't She Lovely, As, Another Star

Just a dude complaining for an hour

Indifference is how I would describe this album.

I was so excited to get this as it is actually my favorite album by my favorite band. This is my pick for the best Beatles album as it just is so consistent and the vibes are amazing. Drive My Car is a great intro but the album goes to the next level with Norwegian Wood. The use of the sitar adds an amazing sound giving this song a mystical aura. John, Paul, and George all have amazing outings showing them in the prime. Even Ringo's one song is pretty good (Sad Ringo 😢). Out of all of these songs "In My Life" is my favorite. It is a beautiful retrospective of life that ends with focusing on the present and the person who gives your life meaning. It has a melancholic tone which gives it way more depth and a perfect representation of all of life. It's why this song is my favorite of all time. Favorite songs: All of them Rubber Soul is a personal album for me and whenever I feel down I put it on. Listening to it one more time, I appreciate it even more.

It's hard to seperate the artist from art and this album is a great example. This is a great album made by a crazy person. It is extremely original with the first song being an incredible opener. Each successive song keeps the pace up and are all really great. I can't rate it higher than a 4 though because I don't agree with many things Ye has said and done.

Judging by the cover I didn't think I was going to like this as I thought it was going to be emo. Turns out it was a great hard rock album!

I hadn't heard of this album and judging by the first song, I didn't think I would like it. Turns out all the other songs are incredible and it's just that first song I don't like. In fact, the rest of this album is so good! It all works together making an album which sounds unique and works together. Favorite songs: Sidewalk Serfer Girl, It's Not The End Of The World, Shoot Doris Day, No Sympathy, Juxtaposed With U, Presidential Suite, Fragile Happiness

The piano in all these songs are amazing but the songs themselves are nothing special. The ones I liked tended to be covers (although most of the songs are covers).

That was boring

For me this album was forgettable. Nothing stood out as being interesting and the album sounded like things I've heard before. Not a bad album but a mediocre one.

There's no album that sounds like this one. Each song flows together and connects together creating an entire narrative. The guitar on this is also really good. The issue is some songs individually aren't very strong. It also sounds pretty dated in areas. Really good album but not all of it is for me.

The underrated champ! This is where the band transformed from amazing rock band to amazing at every genre. Half of this album is experimental rock songs and the other half is experimental folk. The combination is amazing and although I prefer the first half both are really well done. The opening is iconic being Immigrant Song which is one of the bands most popular. For me the albums peak is at Since I've Been Loving You. It's perfect from it's infectious guitar rift to Bonham's legendary drumming and maybe Robert Plant's best vocal performance. The ending of the album is one of the most hated Zeppelin songs and I understand why. Personally it's fine and doesn't ruin the album but does leave a bad last impression. Although it isn't everyone's cup of tea, this album is still amazing and a great stepping stone to get to Zeppelin's best album. Favorite songs: Immigrant Song, Friends, Since I've Been Loving You, Out On The Tiles, Gallows Pole, Tangerine

Although not for me, I do get the album. It sounds pretty good and she is a very talented singer. The issue is that this album is so long!

I've never heard of this Bowie album before but it's great. Despite only being 6 songs, all of them are expertly made and memorable. Maybe not the best of Bowie's catalogue but is nothing to ignore. Instrumentally it is extremely good and I really like it. Great addition to this list and an album I need to listen to multiple more times to fully appreciate.

I didn't know the guy who did the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 OST had solo albums!?

I'm nauseous after listening to that shmaltzy shit.

It's alright and has some good moments but overall it isn't for me.

While the songs on the album are great the guitar is the stand out. The solos are legendary and it sounds so good the whole way though. Favorite songs: School's Out, Luney Tune, My Stars, Public Animal #9, Alma Mater.

A soul album from Bowie, that's crazy! On top of that who would have thought it would work this well. Most songs have a choir in the back and use much more brass instruments. All of the songs work pretty well together with the exception of "Across the Universe". It ignores the soul theme of the album and isn't as good as the rest of the songs. It also doesn't help that the original version is much better and one of my favorites from "Let It Be". This album is still great overall and it's nice to see this much variety in Bowie's catalogue. Favorite songs: Young Americans, Fame, Who Can I Be Now?

Please stop trying to rizz me up!

All the songs sound the same and they're all just mid.

Just a great jazz album with really good organ

This album sounds like the 80s. Don't love the random talking in the middle of songs.

Love the instrumental but some of the songs are just not my style. Pretty mixed bag

The guitar and especially the bass in this album is great and definitely the highlight! Everything else is not quite as good but still quality. Definitely an 80s feel with this album and it works well. Enjoyed and would listen to again.

I wanted to listen to this album for a while after getting the Yes Album and it didn't disappoint. Everything in Fragile is so good and even better than the previous album. It feels like they got it down with amazing guitar solos, great drums, and well crafted songs. I also like after most major songs they have instrumental interludes which add to the overall experience of listening to the album. Really just Yes at their peak! Favorite songs: Roundabout, South Side of the Sky, Long Distance Runaround, Heart of the Sunrise, America

This is just disturbing. At times it feels like it could be building to something good but it always gets pulled back to just sounding gross. Listening to this album feels like watching movies like The Dark Crystal or The Neverending Story as a kid. Your just creeped out and want it to end immediately.

Wow, this guy is really down bad! Some of the songs are pretty good but other ones are just a lot of whispering. Sometimes it's too serious and it's not great at that. A real mixed bag. Favorite songs: Mis-Shapes, Underwear

The instrumental tracks for this album are really good but the rest is not for me. I don't like the robot voices that much and the lyrics were whatever. Sexy Boy was a song I really didn't like and felt like a dropoff from the strong opener. It was a good album to listen to and worth being on this list, but I wouldn't revisit it.

More like simply mid

That flute goes crazy!

Sinatra is easily one of the best singers in the world. The orchestra is also really good and enhances his singing. The album is pretty good overall but the songs do sound similar after a while.

Pretty good

I prefer when the other person sings Smelly Cat

Very 80s and in this case it's not for me. I find it doesn't age very well. Some songs like Shout are annoying but, others like Everybody Rules The World are great. Worth a listen but not going back to often.

The perfect early Beatles album. Has a ton of classics and some hidden gems too. The harmonies on this one are unmatched and the instrumental is improved from "With The Beatles" (although even that was good). This album is pretty significant for The Beatles because it is the first one to feature only songs written by them. The lyrics are an improvement from previous albums but don't compare to later ones. Still, it's an album I like to listen all the time. Also the cover is great! Favorite songs: A Hard Day's Night, I Should Have Known Better, If I Fell, And I Love Her, Tell Me Why, Can't Buy Me Love, Any Time At All, You Can't Do That, I'll Be Back

Instrumentals are excellent but I feel the singing is give or take. Songs are not so memorable for me but sound good in the moment.

Funkiest album ever made

An incredible album with some of the best, most addictive instrumentals and lyrics that are so strong considering they are standing up to the Nigerian government. Definitely an album everyone needs to hear.

The contrast from the first and second song is crazy. The first one is a 10 minute guitar solo where the guitarist is shredding while the second one is a pretty normal song. This through me for a loop especially because most of the album afterwards is normal funk. Then the last song is weird as hell (some guy farts on the microphone!). This album is both pretty decent and absolutely sucks so I'll just give it a 3 and stop thinking about.

I'm not emo enough to truly appreciate this album but I can appreciate that guitar!

The most middle of the road album yet

Some of the best guitar shredding I've ever heard. Their later songs may be cheesy and dated (specifically Jump) but this album still sounds amazing even now. Didn't think I was going to like it, but ended up loving it. Only issue is the album definitely peaked with its first half

The first song was good but the rest was pretty mediocre. The Jungle Line was exceptionally bad though and is hard to listen to. Everything else is really boring with garbage lyrics (although the bad lyrics go for the first song too). I was optimistic going in, but it's definitely not worthy to be on this list.

A little goofy but the instrumentals are pretty good. Basically if the monster mash was a whole album with better backing instrumentals.

Maybe but Aerosmith's most popular albums but still one I really enjoyed. I'm not too familiar with the band and this left a great impression.

I get that this was really popular and all but it sounds old and a little boring now. Still sounds good but didn't do anything else for me.

THE GOATS!! Copeland's drumming style is so unique and he is the master of the hi-hat. Summers is a great guitar player who can steal the show or be an amazing addition to the background. Sting is a great singer who can also play the bass like nobody else. This album is their peak and perfects their punk and reggae style. If you've never listened to The Police it's a must. Favorite songs: ALL OF THEM!!

It said that he died on Wikipedia but I swear I saw him officiating a wedding in Las Vegas yesterday!

It's very mediocre and I'M SICK OF HEARING MORE THAN A FEELING!

Not feeling this one

I've always meant to listen to Jimi Hendrix but never got around to it. I now know that was a huge mistake because this album is so good! The drumming is incredible, the bass is great, but the guitar is out of this world. Truly an experience I need to go back to.

For country music it's not too bad! That said it is still country music so it can't be higher than a 3

The beards make this album. Pretty much the definition of a solid rock album.

Like the other Kanye album, would be a 5 but he made it. On a side note, thank you Jonah Hill for making Kanye cool with Jews.

The songs on this album are really well written and sung. A lot of classics that I'm only now hearing for the first time. Glad I got to listen to it.

Pretty good old school rap

How this has so many 5 star reviews I'll never know. This album is hard to listen to as it is so dated. The singing is just too cheesy and the instrumentals can't save it. I mean I could've just looked at the cover and realized it would be a 2 but I listened to it and found out the hard way.

Although the rest of the album wasn't as good as the first few songs, still a solid listen.

It's the Macca's debut album and I was excited to listen to it. I'm a huge fan of The Beatles and I love ATMP by George Harrison. Although not being close to as good as the aforementioned albums it's still great. It sets your expectations low at first with tracks that are just Paul jamming out catchy tunes. Ironically, once you get to "Junk" the album gets better! Favorite songs: Junk, Man We Was Lonely, Momma Miss America, Teddy Boy, Maybe I'm Amazed. Nice to hear Paul just having fun!

I think instead of these four, Mama Cass should make her own kind of music!

Starts good but ends very mediocre. Still a pretty boring album at that.

HOLD ME CLOSER TONY DANZA!!

A while ago I got an earlier Stones album and they improved like crazy. The songs have more depth and the entire album is better quality. I finally understand why people like this band.

Just vibes the whole way through. I listened to the original album on YouTube as the top comment said because the one on Spotify kind of sucks. Would highly recommend the original!

Just like James Brown Live at the Apollo this album is infectiously happy. You can feel how excited the audience is and how much everyone is enjoying themselves. Really great album!

Definately different from their earlier albums but still great. The lyrics are clever and give insight into British history. Songs are nice and well written. Just another great Kinks album.

Sorry U2 fans but I couldn't care less about this album!

Did not expect the random I Am the Walrus reference in "South California Purples". This album is very good. Whether it be the keyboard or the horns, the instrumentals are top notch. Didn't expect anything but was pleasantly surprised!

It's fine but they seem like they need a girlfriend or something because this is depressing

Was starting off fine but took a bad left turn. Some songs are really good while others are really bad.

It's good but lacks variety for its long length

It reminds me of Earthbound in the best ways possible! Listening to it makes me smile and now I can't stop listening to all the songs. One of the best of this list.

Pretty good album but nothing special

Strong start but ending isn't as good. Despite the name, Jurassic 5 is a 4.

I used to think live albums were just worst versions of the actual thing but this list keeps showing me amazing live albums! This is another example of an artist using the live format to their advantage and it's great! Singing and instrumental are great!

Cool electric guitar!

I mean it's Bob Marley, it's gotta be a 5!

Snoop is the best and if you disagree then you just can't handle the dog! Also this album is officially Martha Stewart approved.

It all sounds the same

Religion 1 is one of the worst things I've ever heard. This album is lucky that the drums and bass are good otherwise it's a 1.

In all honesty, I expected this album to be too weird and experimental but that ended up being why I liked it so much. It took me though a journey of rock that led me to feel every emotion. Truly one of the greatest albums ever made.

If this came out later it wouldn't really be that impressive but since it came out in 1969 it is a little ahead of the time. That being said, the album is pretty boring and I don't care for it.

It all sounds pretty good but I'm not a fan of 80s sounding music.

Other than the black face on the cover pretty good album.

An extremely creative album and some of the band's best. Love the cover of the album too and how the mammoth is jamming with everyone else.

Really really really really boring

Can't say I was surprised by what number the beast was, nor was I surprised by this album. Just pure rock!

That wasn't funny

Feels like the music to listen to by a campfire

Good album but wish there was real arctic monkeys

My nightmares will now consist of this thing. Thanks 1001 list.

I'm tems of best albums, it's not third that's for sure

The flow in this album is great especially for early rap. Another win from the list!

Such a relaxing and beautiful album. The instrumental on this one is so good and proves that it belongs on the list.

I don't get why so many people hate this album. To be fair this is my first Elvis Costello album on the list but it's pretty good. Everything sounds great and it's better than a lot of album I've heard on this list. It's not a 5 but a solid 4.

You know it's five stars when I'm sad that the an hour long album is over. The perfect soul album. The singing is amazing but the instrumentals are perfection. Never heard of this album before but it is one of the best on this list.

It's too long and has too many mediocre songs

It's good to know Ginger takes his bath!

Can definitely respect it for how crude it is for the 80s

It feels like they're trying to hard to be The Beatles without doing anything that good. If you want to listen to a band's crappy imitation of The Beatles be my guest

In terms of songs it sucks. It's just a guy yapping over instrumentals that range from either good to boring.

Good energy but nothing special

A completely inoffensive album, nothing else to write about

I appreciate the rendition of Alice in Wonderland. This album is however a little boring but I can respect it for what it is.

So it's good but mostly weird. Not really the definitive version of the good songs and the other songs are just there.

This guy's singing brought down this entire album. I kept thinking that the music was good but those terrible vocals kept messing it up. To describe the vocals, it sounds like your drunk uncle singing off pace with the song.

Gotta love how George Harrison played on some songs on this album including the diss track towards Paul. This album is a little savage and shows John not holding back like he did with The Beatles. Great album but suffers from being overproduced and having some weaker songs.

A nice album that is pretty heartfelt. Great music to relax and reflect on.

One word: Cheesy

I got sidetracked when listening to this album and ended up listening to some of the "Toy Story" soundtrack. That was way better than this shit.

Other than "Testify", it's a decent album. Testify is a pretty bad song though.

Dear users of the 1001 album generator, Stop over rating this album. It's good, but not the best album of all time, not even close. "Chains" and "I Don't Want To Know" are great songs, but the rest are just fine. There are other albums on this list that are just better and more consistent. Sincerely, #1 Abbey Road Enjoyer.

Johnny Cash is so unbelievably cool that he got invited by the prison to sing songs about how much prison sucks to a bunch of people stuck in prison.

Pretty good first outing from The Who. Not as good as their later stuff but still great for the time.

Way better than I thought it was going to be. I knew "Dreamer" before going in, but the rest is also great. I've listened to Breakfast in America in the past and I think I actually prefer this album. First half of it is weaker but second half delivers. Liked songs: Hide in Your Shell, Dreamer, Rudy, If Everyone was Listening

Sensory overload the album

Eric Clapton is a terrible human being, but amazing guitar player.

Pretty forgettable and pretty boring. I guess the music was good though but nothing to go out of your way for.

It's as the title says, a junkyard of terrible music.

Breaking Bad reference!

Solsbury Hill is definitely the highlight but the rest of the album is also pretty good.

Expertly crafted songs that take you on a musical journey.

Great album name

So they'll let into Abbey Road

Love it!

Terrible singer with mediocre music behind it. It's bad so just save your time and listen to something else.

The second album I got in a row with bad singing and mediocre music. This album is pretty bad and I'm a little shocked by the amount of people that like it.

I like penguins but I don't like this album. It's too experimental which sometimes works but mostly fails miserably.

It's sounds old but it's ok I guess

Just a bunch of high people making some decent music. Overall was ok, but I cannot stand "Our House". It's just the epitome of a boring song.

I guess the guy who made this list really likes albums with bad singers and mediocre music. This one has the added benefit of bad lyrics too! This is not an album you need to listen to before you die. I listened to it and it added no value to my life whatsoever!

I can't get into Prince. I wish I could but his music is just to weird for me.

Best song was the one was later featured in, "That 70's Show".

This ruined the Toy Story soundtrack for me. Because of this album, I know Randy Newman is a bit of a piece of crap.

What the typical early 80s album sounds like. It's not too bad though and is worth one listen.

An Infectiously positive album. It's nice to get this as it feels really different from the rest of the list. The three of them work well and their approach to rap is like nobody else.

Cheesy cover but otherwise it is just some inoffensive music that doesn't offer that much.

I really can't tell if it's a 2 or a 3. The songs themselves are pretty good but sometimes the lyrics are just bad and singing is mediocre throughout. I'm going to settle on a 3 as it's something I could go back and listen to but I wouldn't go out of my way to.

Just a happy group of songs. I have literally nothing to complain about as it's just so good. I get how it inspired The Beatles, "Lady Madonna". A quick but memorable album. Favorite songs: Blueberry Hill, *Blue Monday, Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

The music I'm listening to while rollerblading down Radical Highway.

This is the kind of music people think of when they say they hate country music.

Very weird but definitely good.

This album has cemented the idea in my head that a bad singer can completely ruin a good band. I've seen it before on this list but usually the bands behind the singer aren't this good. I can't give this anything higher than a 2, I just can't stand that singer.

The hits are great and the rest is only ok. It has an 80s sound but it works well compared to other albums I've heard.

This album is so influential I heard almost every song before listening to this. A good share of these are covers but I was so surprised to learn Respect and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction were made by him. Overall an essential album to this list.

I didn't know she was a musician but this album is as good as Glass Onion (the movie).

A really great album that just has a great sound to it. The cover is iconic and the songs are just as good.

It's a pretty short album with not a ton of substance. In the album's defense, it is pretty inoffensive. I've heard much worse on the list and obviously much better. It's also funny how the song "It's A Bit of A Pain" is a bit of a pain to listen to.

I can't listen to the normal version of Heads will Roll now that Dance Till You're Dead exists. It just isn't the same without that dog vibing to the song. Other than that, the album is ok but nothing that interesting.

No surprise here, Led Zeppelin II is an easy 5 stars. Although the first album may have higher highs, Zeppelin II is much more consistent. It also consists of more original songs and less covers which is always good. As per usual, everyone in this band is extremely talented and the best in their field. John Bonham deserves a specific shoutout for the song "Moby Dick" which has maybe the best drum solo ever made. Overall this is definitely the best album for a beginner Zeppelin fan. It defines everything the band is good at perfectly. Favorite songs: All of them but especially Heartbreaker, Moby Dick, and *Ramble On.

It's alright but there are still too many Sonic Youth albums on here. Before this list I couldn't name you once Sonic Youth album let alone 5! As for the album, it's nothing special but still fine.

Much better than Green River! Feels like CCR going into more interesting directions with their songs rather than Green River which was pretty safe and boring. A definite improvement and a great album on its own.

The songs feel like they should be amazing but there's just something holding it back. Although a lot of reviews are saying it's emotionless, I don't think that's it. I think it's more that the singing doesn't mix well with the music backing it up. I wish I loved this, but I just didn't.

This is the first album I've heard on this list to have given me a lot of ironic enjoyment. It's so bad and the lyrics are so cheesy that it becomes funny. They literally use a high pitched sample from Free Bird and play it off as serious. This album is a joke but a really funny joke which I look forward to laughing at in the future.

Feels too pretentious and artsy rather than being actually good. It's what I thought Dark Side of the Moon was going to be like before I listened to it and realized it's a masterpiece. This album is really bad and not worth listening to.

I'm sorry to your ears if you listen to this. It's not the most enjoyable but it can be ok occasionally.

Going into this I was expecting a great album and I was proven right! The first and last song are just perfection. The guitar, drums, bass are all incredible throughout. Moon child was definitely the low point of the album as it's pretty boring, but the concept is cool. Overall an obvious but necessary choice for this list.

Underrated gem! Completely different from the rest of the list and is great to relax to.

Everything wrong with the 80's in one album. It's just a bad version of Bon Jovi. Why the hell is this album even close to this list, just no!

This album is easily one of the best I've heard so far and I've already heard a fifth of the album's! It cemented metal as a genre to be taken seriously. There are eight be songs on this album and somehow they're all 8/10 or higher. Other than the obvious highlights (War Pigs, Paranoid, Iron Man), I really enjoyed Rat Salad, Hand of Doom, and Planet Caravan. As someone who listens for the drums in songs, this album blew me away with one of the best drum performances in an album. The guitar is also incredible and those solos are otherworldly they're so good. Everything about this album is peak metal and a permanent member of not only the top 1001, but top 50 albums of all time!
