1001 Albums Summary

The hits power the album. The harmonies are on high over top of piano and synths, with touches of electric guitar. The production is great and would have been a gen in true mid-70s.

Been there and done that. Like all Soundgarden, the music is often overshadowed by Chris' voice which tweeters on 80s hair metal. When he keeps it low and under control, you have some of the best grunge from the 90s.

Gangsta rap gold. Here is the turning point of rap/hip hop. This was straight up shocking and controversial creating a benchmark for the genre. Dr. Dre made it so damn catchy while spitting along to the lyrical assault and battery.

Well, Morrissey isn't regarded as one the great song writers for nothing. But it's Johnny Marr that keeps the attention with simple, yet beautiful guitar melodies. When you're hooked on the hooks and intrigued by the lyrics, you're probably listening to The Smiths or a band influenced by The Smiths (or The Cure). The Queen is Dead is the epitome. "I Know It's Over" is a classic.

Over powered by the over played We Are Family single. 70s RnB/Disco

If Jane's Addiction had parents, The Velvet Underground would be them. Lou Reed is as talented as he is eclectic. Elements of blues, rock,, folk experimental ... They would have been my favourite band in the late 60s

Parachutes was an excellent album despite the overplayed pop Anthem, Yellow. When n My Place was dropped, and AROBTTH was announced, many wondered if Coldplay could follow up with an equally stellar album. They did. The sounds are more extensive and polished.. More than a Brit Pop banger, this album set them a part from their peers and sent them to worldwide stardom.

The songs on S2S are cinematic, while Bowie delivers with operatic power. Like much of his work, the music and vocals dont align.

An acoustic short-story book. Each track tells a compelling story echoing blue collar America.

The tone is set with the opening bars on the album. Eclectic post-punk.

Crafted pop by the masters of pop rock Sunday afternoon brunch for the ears.

Some funny stories, influenced by Japanese culture. Sounds are interesting and "futuristic", but you have to get through Wayne Coyne's falsetto voice.

Metallica is 80s thrash metal. 4 straight bangers ftom 1983 to 1988, each one getting more and more polished. This one features "One", their legendary metal ballad, allowing 'bangers to embrace their soft side.

Without this album, so many bands wouldn't exist. A blueprint for making rock n roll. Blues, country, rock,.. You'll forget that your listening to a British band

The Indy handhook.

Jazz/rock perfectionists

Funky but too much falsetto for me

While they sound slightly dated now, this album was ahead of its time. They made a 90s record in the 80s

70s RnB with a sprinkling of funk

So ahead of its time. Maggot Brain is a psychadelic, cosmic anthem.

Sucks. Lame. For simpleton moms

Solid piece of art rock. Well crafted. I like Shields better, but solid.

Post punk gem. Lots of synths before they became popular

Pot holes on my lawn. Fun sing along 90s hip hop. I miss this era of rap music. Creative samples and scratching

Solid all the way through, like most of their work. I always felt they were a big influence on Pixies.

Classic.

Sheryl Crow esque

Classic. So many styles to influence thousands that came after

The Clash meet The Rankin Family.. Not my cup of tea

Do you like ABBA? Do you like 80s pop? Here's your album

Shoegaze pioneers that influenced the likes of Beach House, St. Vincent and all

Scuzzy, fuzzy, blues rock

Metal blueprint. So tight

A kaleidoscope of sound aligned with Britpop. Opening track is powerful. The Richard Hawley track is burlesque

Coldplay has residency on The Love Boat. Sounds like Mike Flowers is trying to make something substantial

70s, psychadelic rock

Meh.

Original, polished, college music of late 80s

Very good

Classic soul

You blinded me with 80s

Polished White Stripes

Born in '69, On a Rope... a mid-90s, post-pink gem...with horns

A little too long on the indie video. Bakesale is better

Early work by smooth, intelligent rap pioneers

Prince ages like milk. The music doesn't stand up to those of his peers. Artists like U2, INXS, Michael Jackson, George Michael, The Cure, Depeche Mode,, Guns n Roses, etc all released music in 1987 where most, if not all, still stand up today. His voice is still Prince, but the music is so outdated and would not consider it an album that one must hear.

The Duck Face cover. Blues can be done by a white Jewish kid... And his harmonica.

A time machine to a better tome

Stones,.
