1001 Albums Summary

I haven’t listened to this is years, but it’s a ton of fun. Hip hop isn’t usually in my wheelhouse, but this one is hard to resist.

Nice blend of songs. I prefer their more guitar forward albums like this.

Aside from Roadhouse Blues all these songs were new to me. Not a Doors fan but this one is very good.

Never heard this before. Liked the sound but would need a bunch more listens to appreciate this fully.

I like Moon Shaped Pool a little more, but this is definitely a Radiohead highlight.

Only knew a couple songs but loved this. Great sound.

Enjoyed the sound

I remember when this came out. Not into this style of music then and I’m still not into it now.

I always love this. Broad mix of songs and they are clearly willing to stretch creatively.

Not my musical style, but it’s a worthwhile listen.

Totally new to me. Feels like one I’d need to listen to a few times to really get into. Didn’t really like it on the first try.

Didn’t do much for me. Not my usual musical style.

Enjoyed this a lot while driving. Totally new to me but it grabbed my attention from the beginning.

Love About a Boy but never heard this one. I think I could really get into this after a few listens.

Not really my thing but I appreciated trying it. Love the raw energy.

Hadn’t listened to this in years. Born to Run is a bit better but I can see why this was such a hit in 1984.

Totally new to me, good jazzy/funky sound

Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Nice harmonies.

An old favorite I hadn’t listened to in a long time. Properly brooding.

A raw and ragged style, probably better with a few more listens

Another one I hadn't listened to in a long time. Enjoyed it as much as I did back when it came out.

Totally new to this, but I found it fascinating. Something I could get into with more listens.

Kind of surprised by this. This part of Bowie's career is new to me, but I was impressed.

It's weird and seems sort of hostile toward its audience. Being deliberately difficult is an artistic choice I guess. I'll give it more than 1 star for holding tightly to its own vision and for its raw energy.

Nice blend of catchy hooks and edgy songs.

This was already one of my favorites, so easy to give it five stars.

One of my all-time favorites. Just overflowing with great musical ideas.

A good combination of familiar singles and deep cuts.

This is the only album of hers that I haven't listened to before and I find I need to listen to an album of hers several times to fully appreciate what she's doing. Still, a good sound and lots of good moments.

Not in the top tier of Radiohead albums, but still intriguing.

Bland R&B pop is not my thing. Only knew the title track, the rest was new to me and didn't really engage me.

Never listened to this before, but I enjoyed their sound a lot.

Hadn't heard it in years. Not really a fan of her sound and not sure this album has aged well.

Didn't hate it, but found it very bland. Maybe it would grow on me with repeated listens, but one listen left me feeling uninspired.

Outstanding

Not really my musical style, but feels like it does a decent job.

This one was totally new to me. Love the energy.

Yes, his voice soars in totally unsubtle ways at times, but this is a monumental album that deserves its accolades.

Very good undemanding music, most of the songs were already familiar to me but I don't think I listened to this album all the way through before.

Sort of amusing for a single listen, but it would get quickly annoying to listen to this multiple times.

Not really my musical style and goes on and on and on.

I'm sure there is some artistic justification for this, but it's hard to listen to.

Very familiar with basically all of these songs. An almost flawless classic.

An old favorite that I always enjoy.

One of the great voices of all time. So brilliant.

I think I knew only a few of these songs, but his voice and musical style is so familiar that it felt like I'd heard this before. Enjoyed it a lot.

Totally unfamiliar with this band and album. It's just way too hyper-kinetic for my taste.

The sound is decent, but not great. Felt very mixed on this.

I was never a huge Nirvana fan, but this live performance is superb.

I had not heard this album before, but this impressed me a lot. Excellent chill sound.

Great trippy sound, but there are several Pink Floyd albums that I like more than this.

Love their sound here, particularly how this album unfolds.

The first song is really pretentious and over the top. The rest is a little better. Never been into ELP and this one confirms that.

This one has a freshness to its sound that I think their more recent albums lacks.

Feels a bit dated, but still kind of fun. A few contemporary covers are added to otherwise original music.

Lots of familiar songs, excellent songwriting

Excellent songwriting.

I feel like their earlier albums are a bit tighter.

I found this hard to connect with.

Feels fairly dated. Some good songs, but too many are just meh.

Hasn't really aged well
