1001 Albums Summary

It's crazy that this is the first album this generator gave me. It's one I've listened to at least a dozen times already, and a hard one to write about because of how connected it is to my dad. My dad died last year, and he was maybe the biggest music lover I've ever known. When he was dying of cancer I did two really important things that made his last few weeks on Earth more enjoyable. I bought him Bluetooth earbuds so that he could listen to music without bothering my mom, and she could watch TV that he didn't really want to watch. And I bought him edibles. Truly, a match made in heaven. Anyway, The Allman Brothers Band was probably my dad's favorite band, and one of the bands that we really connected over. We weren't always the most aligned on musical tastes, but did bond over a strong love for blues and blues rock, and this album is maybe the most blues rock rock has ever been bluesed. Easy 5/5 or 10/10 or whatever the rating system on this infernal contraption is. Fuck Ya Life, Knicks in 5, Knicks vs Hicks but the Hicks wish they were Knicks Wu Tang Forever Ya Mother

I wrote a whole thing out but forgot to save it. C'est la vie. Mostly good.

It was nice to listen to a new album, but it did get a little bit repetitive. It was way different than any of the Elvis records I'd listened to before, and I was surprised how much I liked it, and how contemporary to the late 60s some of it sounded. Overall though, it could have been 4 or 5 songs shorter and not suffered at all. Not my favorite.

Pretty great tbh, solid classic southern blues rock, only knew La Grange, but I enjoyed the album cover to cover. I will say, Billy Gibbons is an incredible guitarist, but his singing at times on this album reminded me so much of Anthony Kiedis, it was very off-putting, and not exactly the sound I want to go with the rest of the vibe.

I didn't like this album nearly as much as I thought I would. I found it, more than anything else, boring? My relationship with metal music is mostly one of passing interest, I really like the first 4 Black Sabbath records, I love the first 3 Iron Maiden records, but beyond that, I haven't ever really found anything I super connected with in the genre. A couple Metallica songs or Judas Priest songs here or there, but I also wouldn't say I dislike metal. And I wouldn't say I strongly ~disliked~ this album, but I didn't like it, that's for sure. I went back and listened to some of it over again to see if maybe I was just missing something, and I just felt like I wanted it to be over. I even went back and listened to Iron Maiden's first album and immediately I was headbanging along with it, came back to Hanger 18, and just, I don't like it. Again, I don't dislike it, but I would never ever pick it to play. Also, I'm now reading lyrics (I never read lyrics, I almost don't pay attention to lyrics) is the song Lucretia about Dave Mustaine taking a walk around his house? Anyway, I don't know why I don't like it, but I don't. 2/5

I mean, I think it's pretty solid for what it is, but what it is is an unabashed sex album, every single song was a 5 minute sex jam, and for listening outside of that context it really got repetitive and a little uncomfortable quick. 2/5

I don't think I've ever listened to this album before front to back. I've listened to some Chic here and there, I consider myself at least a passing fan of Nile Rodgers, and am always blown away by his guitar. Le Freak was one of the first Funk/Disco songs I ever tried learning on guitar. This record was definitely early days for funk though, and was definitely very disco, minutes of very repetitive, very danceable music, but it wasn't the most interesting listening album. I'd say a 3/5, could've been a 4 if I was in the right mood.

Not exactly my style. The four tacked on Gospel songs at the end were weird. 2/5.

Definitely a weird one, lots of soundscapes, lots of different vibes and instrumentation, lotta synth/electronic sounds. I doubt I’ll listen to it again, but I enjoyed it.

Literally didn't understand a word of it, but honestly enjoyed quite a bit of it. Not sure why it's on this list, and it certainly felt like an album that belonged closer to 1957 to 1997, but overall a decent enough time. 3/5

I really just don't enjoy this genre of sad 80s UK pop rock.

BANGERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I appreciate Talking Heads, but I'm just not that into it.

My only experience with Dr. John before this was his songs with The Band on "The Last Waltz." Crazy interesting album, it's very unique to me to have such a psychedelic album also be very clearly taking so much influence from New Orleans voodoo, songs about gris-gris and roux. Probably never gonna listen again.
