1001 Albums Summary

It was OK. The live album that comes w/ the deluxe version of The Joshua Tree was incredible though.

This is one I had back in the 90s. It's not bad. Not really my thing. I liked the songs for the most part but what dropped another star for me was how most of the songs sound like they're clipping (maybe a victim of the loudness wars?). It sounds horrible.

It didn't wow me but it's not bad. I listened twice.

I made it through the album but was not a fan of the music at all.

Not bad, not great.

Good stuff. I enjoyed this one.

I LOVE this band/album. So good.

I wasn't a huge fan of this album (though the live album that came after this one on the deluxe set was killer).

Great album. Hard to believe this was released in 1987. I listened a couple of times and enjoyed it.

I thought I'd enjoy this one more than I did. It wasn't bad just wasn't really my thing.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one. Not bad, just not my thing.

Pretty generic 70s rock album. I was kind of surprised by this given it's Queen. Not bad, but quite forgettable.

I'm not a huge fan of this band but the album wasn't too bad.

I enjoyed this album.

This was pretty good stuff! I love this era and genre of music though I have never heard this band before.

Such an iconic album. What else can be said about it? I loved it.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one. Lots of dead space in it. Pretty boring listen.

Not a fan of this one at all. Quite boring. Songs not that great. I could barely finish it.

I wasn't a fan of this album. It was hard to get through.

Not really my thing but I didn't hate it.

I really liked this one. Felt like a modern day indie album, as relevant today as ever.

I didn't mind the album but I wasn't a huge fan either.

Classic 60s album. If you've been alive for a while you've heard this album in a number of TV shows and movies.

Never really listened to The Verve outside of that one hit they had in the 90s but I really liked this album. One of the best so far.

Classic album, I LOVED it. Been listening to them all day long.

Surprisingly good, not what you'd expect for a Beach Boys album. Really enjoyed this. Had to double check a few times I was listening to the right album as it sounds nothing like their earlier stuff.

Great album. A classic.

Wasn't a huge fan of this one but it wasn't bad.

Classic 80s album. Some good tracks on it but not that great overall.

Never heard of these buys before but I really liked this one. Will definitely be checking out more albums from them.

A classic from my generation. Not a bad album.

Not really my thing but I enjoyed this album!

Terrible, first album I really hated and could not finish. Generic soft rock. Forgettable. Milquetoast.

Complete banger of an album. I listened to it multiple times yesterday. A true classic. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Hated it. Couldn’t even finish it. This early 60s rock is probably my least favorite period/genre of music.

Love Megadeth! Not my favorite album but still really good.

Never listened to ABBA before but this album wasn't too bad!

Better than the other Springsteen album on this list. Chill acoustic vibes. Could be played at a coffee shop.

Terrible. Worst album on this list. It's experimental noise essentially. I could scarcely listen to a few tracks.

I wasn't a big fan of this one. Kind of a weird album and not in a good way.

Classic album. Not bad.

I didn't much care for this album. It was OK just not great.

To be honest, I am just not a big fan of Joni Mitchell. I've tried repeatedly to listen to her and just don't enjoy most of her music.

First listen: WTF is this? Of course, I've heard the first track before. Classic. The rest though? Second listen: this isn't bad. Third: I love it. What a weird album!

Classic rock album from start to finish. Love it.

A beautiful album.

A classic from start to finish. I love this album.

Not bad.

This is what I call "noise torture." I got through maybe a third of it but couldn't stand it. Definitely not for me. Some sort of experimental music.

It's hard to take this guy seriously, perhaps because his music has been parodied so much over the years. I quite frankly did not enjoy this album much.

The music can be beautiful at times but there is something about Sigur Rós that I have never liked. Maybe it's partly to do w/ the fact that they use a made up language. Maybe the music is too low energy for normal listening. The album isn't bad, it's just not for me.

Not my usual thing but I actually quite enjoyed this. Early 90s rap/hiphop reminds me of the teen center days.

Another classic YES album. Loved it.

I wasn't a huge fan of this album but it wasn't bad.

Great album. I enjoyed it.

Was just OK. I love this genre/era of music but I wasn't overly wowed by this album.

Pretty weird album. Wasn't all that into it.

I love Sabbath, but this album isn't their greatest. Some good tracks but quite boring and forgettable overall.

I'm not a big fan of most music from this period. Wasn't a bad album but I didn't much care for it.

I actually really enjoyed this album and I'm not even a big fan of the Stones. It's really good.

This was one of his better albums.

This is such an odd double album. A few good tracks, some bizarre, some skits. Not really my thing, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

It was OK. Some good tracks.

Pretty decent album, a classic.

Great chill album. I liked it.

It's not a bad album. I just don't care for Adele that much, to be honest. To my ears it's highly produced pop music that isn't very interesting.

This album must've been removed from most streaming platforms but I was able to find it on YT. I enjoyed it.

A classic. Not bad.

A classic album. One of my favorites. I love this guy.

Terrible. One of the few albums I couldn't stand to finish. Take generic simple beats, samples from better music, and drone talking about how much of a badass nigga you are and you have JAY Z.

Not really my thing but not bad.

What can be said about this album? It's iconic. A masterpiece from start to finish. I wonder if these guys had any idea of what they were creating when they were writing and recording this album. Can you imagine?

Not a bad album. Nothing too exciting.

Not bad. Nothing really thrilling. Good background music.

I didn't care for this album.

A classic.

Not bad. The music they play at World Market.

Pretty decent early Mudhoney. Not bad.

Not bad but nothing too exciting.

A classic. I love it.

Not my usual listen but I listened to this album at least three times. I will again now I think. Good stuff.

Good stuff. Classic. Great live album.

An absolute classic. I LOVE this album.

Another classic album.

Not a huge Dylan fan. It's a pretty boring album and some of the songs are dumb.

Usually I like Lana Del Rey but this one was a bit underwhelming. I did enjoy it for the most part though.

Pretty decent album.

Not bad.

Another beautiful album by Stevie. Not really my thing but how can you not love him.

I didn't really care for this album.

Not really my thing but not bad.

Great album.

Pretty decent! Especially the live tracks at the end of the deluxe album. These guys are/were pretty awesome.

Not bad. Some tracks rock hard. 🤘🏼

I wasn't a big fan of this album.

What can be said about this album. Total classic. Nothing mind blowing. Just a damn good rock album.

Pretty decent album. Not bad at all.

Interesting album. Not bad.

Classic album, I enjoyed it.

I've never listened to this one before. It's pretty good. Nothing Earth shattering. Just a decent Genesis album.

Not a huge fan of Elton, but this album is pretty good.

Never really listened to James Brown but this album was incredible. A ton of fun. I don't even really care much for this period/genre of music. The way he interacts with the crowd is so fun. You can hear all the girls screaming and going wild. I feel like even I would have had a blast at this show.

Never heard of these guys before but I really enjoyed this album.

I wasn't a big fan of this album. It's not bad but it's just not that good to my ears either. I've never been a big fan of British pop from the 90s (or any other time to be honest).

I loved this! Good stuff. I'm listening to it again for the third time.

Not a huge fan of Neil Young, but this album wasn't too bad.

It's good, it's a classic of course. Lots of mid-level bangers. But nothing mind blowing to me. The Who just doesn't hit like a Zeppelin album does for me.

I wasn't a huge fan of this album. It's not bad but it didn't do much for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this classic album.

Bangers from start to finish. A classic.

Not really a fan of this one at all.

A pleasant album. I enjoyed it.

I wasn't too fond of this. Not sure why this is even on the list to be honest.

Good stuff. I enjoyed this.

This one is a tough one. I've never been a big fan of music like this. It's not a bad album, just not for these ears.

Not a bad album at all.

I've hated Oasis since the 90s so that's probably my bias. But I listened to this whole album and then some. It's just not that good. Generic Brit rock. Nothing inspiring at all.

Not a bad album, just not really for me.

Not a bad album, not terribly great either.

I really enjoyed this album!

I wasn't that into this album. It's not bad, just very weird. Didn't do much for me.

Not really my thing, but not bad.

Incredible album. This could be something produced today. It feels timeless. I had to double check the year as I couldn't believe this was released in '73! This is one of the rare gems on this list that I have never heard before.

One of my favorite albums of all time. I even had the guitar tab book and learned every song back in the day. Love this classic album.

As a 90s kid I've heard most of these tracks over and over again. Not a bad album, but not one I'd probably ever choose to listen to again either.

Wasn't bad.

OK, but nothing exciting.

I really wasn't a fan of this one.

This one didn't land well with me. Not very good.

Not bad.

Not a bad album. Never heard anything from these guys before disco.

Excellent album. I really enjoyed this one.

You know, I know this is a classic album, but it wasn't all that impressive to my ears. It didn't move me much.

This album is a classic. Short but rad af.

Not a bad album. Classic 80s.

I enjoyed this album.

A decent album.

Kind of a weird album. I didn't much care for it.

Not my favorite Bowie album, but not too bad.

Not bad.

Not a bad album overall. A classic. Most of us 40+ have probably heard these songs a million times in some form.

Classic album. Many of the tracks I've heard a million times over the years. Overall very good album. I really enjoyed it.

Awful.

Not a bad album but it didn't move me all that much.

Just OK.

Not bad.

This album was pretty decent. Felt like a really intimate show. Great performance.

Such an incredible album. I'm jamming out to it again. Listened to the 35th anniversary deluxe edition and both volumes are incredible. Every song is a banger.

Wonderful album. I loved it.

This was pretty decent!

A classic, one of my favs.

I didn't much care for this album.

Much of the first part of the album is a simple beat layered with a repetitive blues/soul vocal sample. It got old fast. The last part of the album is mostly instrumental and is much better (I listened to The Complete Recordings version).

Never really listened to these guys before. I quite liked the album.

Wasn't a huge fan of this one.

I've never been a big Elvis fan. This album sounds like something your grandparents would play at dinner.

Classic 90s album. Never listened to these guys back in the day but it still makes me feel nostalgic. I enjoyed it.

Not a bad album. Didn't do much for me though.

Not a bad album.

Easy 5 star classic.

Not bad, but nothing overly exciting.

What more can be said about this classic gem of an album? There were some missteps (wtf Mother?) but overall, this is an excellent album and I enjoyed it very much.

This was pretty decent! Never listened to these guys before, but I enjoyed it. Listened a couple times.

Never heard these guys before but I really enjoyed them! Their tiny desk concert is great too. Super talented dudes. Love the mix of genres. Heck, this album is almost an entire genre on its own. Very much unlike anything else I've heard.

This album is pretty decent. Not something I'll likely ever listen to again, but I enjoyed it.

A classic but one that doesn't do much for me personally.

I really wasn't a big fan of this album.

Probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Like many 90s kids I was totally in love with Fiona. Between Pantera and other heavy stuff, I ran this CD and her followup in HEAVY rotation. Almost every song is a musical masterpiece. There are so many layers and musical embellishments. I still love this album so much.

Wasn't bad, but it didn't do much for me.

Not really my thing but I appreciate it.

You know it's a great album when you've never listened to it yet you've heard almost every single track. What a classic. I wonder if these guys had any idea what they were creating when they were writing and recording this.

I listened to this whole album twice and did not care for it. It's not that good.

Neat album. This sounds like something that could have been a nerdy electronic indie album made today.

Lovely album. Listened through twice. Enjoyed it.

I really didn't much care for this album to be honest. It's not bad, just not for me.

Not a bad album. I enjoyed it.

This album wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Not really my thing, but not terrible.

Not bad. I kinda of like this old country western music.

Decent album.

Not too bad.

Not bad, but nothing that really wowed me.

This album was OK, but nothing too thrilling to me.

Felt like this album was kind of all over the place. Wasn't all that good.

Not bad but nothing all that exciting to me.

Springsteen is probably my least favorite artist on this list, maybe second to JAY-Z. There's something sickening about it music, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the sentimentality or the pandering to American values. I find it offensive.

Wasn't bad...really not much else to say about it.

Never been into these guys but I enjoyed this album.

Never been a huge fan of the Beatles. This album is one of their better ones.

Kind of all over the place. I wasn't into it.

This is probably my favorite album on this whole list. One of the first four CDs I ever got in the mail back in the early 90s (BMG or Columbia House!). Incredible start to finish. A masterpiece to these ears. I don't even remember liking it as much back in the day.

Not bad.

One friend said it's like 45m of the same song. I'd have to largely agree about all AC/DC albums. Some classics in here of course, but overall nothing thrilling to me.

Was OK. Not much else to say about it. Didn't do much for me.

Not bad, but nothing all that moving either.

Eh, Elvis...

Not bad.

I actually didn't mind this album. It's pretty stripped down, mostly a dude singing ditties w/ a guitar.

Not bad.

Wasn't bad.

Wasn't a huge fan of this one.

Not a bad album.

Not bad, but nothing spectacular either.

Essentially this is a Janis Joplin album. Not bad.

I really enjoyed this album!

I enjoyed it.

One of my top ten albums of this entire list.

Not a bad album but terribly boring to me. I couldn't finish it.

This was painful to listen to. Cheesy simplistic loops. Rapping about how much of a badass he is. I made it about 12-14 songs in and gave up. One of the worst albums I've listened to on this list.

I've only ever listened to Only By The Night. This album in contrast just isn't very good. I didn't enjoy it.

This is a great album.

I don't normally listen to this sort of thing but I really enjoyed it.

Not a bad album, just kind of boring.

I really enjoyed this album. One of my favorites from this this.

Not as good as I was expecting, but still a classic.

This was precent decent!

Not a huge fan. It's not bad, just terribly boring and sleep inducing.

Not a huge fan of this one.

A favorite. I listened to this a LOT back in the day. Still holds up. Love Norah.

Never really listened to ABBA but this album is pretty good!

Never been a big fan of these guys but this album is pretty good.

I wasn't too impressed w/ this album to be honest.

Classic World Market music. Not bad, just unremarkable to my ears.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Easy 5/5. Every song is a complete banger.

Really wasn't a fan of this album at all.

Pretty decent. I enjoyed this album!

Not bad.

Not a huge fan, but not bad.

Not bad.

This album is pretty decent. Kinda sounds like Beach Boys of course but it almost has a more experimental vibe to it. I enjoyed it.

Not bad just not for me.

Not a bad album. Not overly great to these ears, but not bad!

Wasn't a huge fan of this one.

I really enjoyed this album. It's warm, sensual, and funky.

Not bad, but not great.

A classic. Many iconic tracks.
