1001 Albums Summary

Liked, although most songs sounded the same. Reminded me of Alabama Shakes, but not sure if they're really that similar. Favourite song: Tighten Up (that tracks... it did win a Grammy)

Liked the first song, then had a nice sleep to this on the Eurostar.

Full of bangers! Surprised by how much I enjoyed. Still fell asleep to it on the Eurostar, but not as quickly as Norah Jones. Favourite song (after all the singles): Let it rock

Learned I don't care for The Who. At all.

Can't remember any song except for Rikki, but enjoyed listening to the album.

Liked Riders on the Storm. Otherwise didn't care for this. Reading Wikipedia about the group, didn't realise Jim Morrison died so young.

No

Mostly nostalgia

A staple of every indie/coffeeshop/chill playlist I've played over the years, but don't think I've listened to the album straight through before. Love it. I want to go for a night drive with this album playing.

Realized I had no idea what Robbie Williams sounded like, and was just vaguely aware of him being a British cultural icon. I started playing this, forgot, and had to double check the artist because of how much I was enjoying Ego Agogo. Why did I think it'd be awful? I just watched the infamous Rock DJ video for the first time and don't know how I should feel. I think I'm a Robbie Williams fan?? Should I listen to Take That?? None of this made it to America, so wasn't a part of my formative years. One reason I'll probably never truly feel British, even after living in the UK for nearly a decade. Great mindless 90s/00s pop.

Did everyone except me already know how great Stevie Wonder is? I just gave Robbie Williams 5 stars 😭 Obviously my rating system wasn't fully calibrated yet.

Didn't really care for most of it. Liked Frontline.

Not sure why I was expecting hard metal. But this was pretty approachable rock. Surprisingly enjoyed. Wouldn't have guessed there would be some doo wop too. Favourites: Ain't talkin bout love, Feel your love tonight

Listened to this at least 3 times over the course of the day, which is probably the most of any album so far. Had no idea what Springsteen sounded like previously. Enjoyed it a lot, and never felt like skipping a song. Made me want to wear a jeans jacket while driving a Chevy through American countryside and the sun sets. idk why but the promised land reminds me of arcade fire. Favourite songs: Candy's Room, Badlands

Was ready to give this one star just from Frustration and Sex Dwarf. Thought about bumping to two after Entertain Me and Chips on My Shoulder. Then heard Memorabilia and back to one star. Overall, lots of songs I would never listen to again. Some okay songs.

I feel like I should have liked this more. Favourite song: A million pleading faces

Thought I'd never heard a bjork song before, only to be extremely familiar with Venus as a Boy from the chill playlist I listen to on repeat.

Wasn't bad, but don't think I'd listen to again.

Felt meh after first 3 songs. Almost gave another star for With or Without You's use in The Americans finale 👌

Accidentally listened to this twice

Was skeptical of his voice when the song After the Gold Rush came on, but the album grew on me.
