1001 Albums Summary

A great album for a lazy, rainy day smoking hash with a Bunson Burner and hot knives. The final two songs (All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child) are as good as a closing as any rock album ever.

Three great songs carry the album, the other songs are just good enough to earn a four star rating.

Not a big fan of this but interesting enough to rate three stars. I prefer a letter grading system where this album would get a C- for me.

This is why I have a lot of Greatest Hits albums. By the time I was finished I had forgotten how great Cisco Kid is. Rated D- or barely a 2.

Definitely worthy of at least 4 stars. Letter grade B+. I have always liked CCR a lot but not quite to the point of being a favourite.

Had not listened to this album before, I just knew Kashmir and Houses of the Holy (two great songs). On first listen I thought maybe 4 stars, but second time through I came to my senses and understood this was clearly worth 5 stars or a letter grade of A but not quite A+.

Just no! 1 star is generous. Letter grade F-. As a fellow factory worker used to say, better days ahead. (hopefully)`

There is just enough here to rate level 4 (B-). No outstanding songs just good english fun. It reminds me of British tv shows like the Darling Buds of May.

This album rates as a 2 or D- for me. There are several Deep Purple songs I like but there are none of those here.

If I had purchased this album in 1977 it would have collected a lot of dust alongside my MC5 album. I am a fan of David Bowie but this album fails completely for me. One star or F as a letter grade.

Not my cup uf tea but the three big hits carry this to 3 stars. Letter grade would be C- because I really don't like the final three songs.

The top five songs (Brown Sugar, Bitch, Dead Flowers, Wild Horses, and Can't You Hear Me Knocking) get this album to 4 stars or B+ for me, but the lesser songs prevent me from giving 5 stars.

Okay, okay, okay! I confess to everything just please make it stop! 1 Star or F- worst album I have ever heard, and that is saying something after Slim Shady.

Very good album. Tough to decide between 4 and 5 stars. I think maybe 4 stars but definitely B+ letter grade.

The album was not bad to listen to, but did not leave enough of an impression for me to be interested in hearing more. Two stars for me or D+.

I think there is a lot to like on this album, particularly the music. I don't like the lead vocals all that much and the "pscychadelic sounds' in the background remind me of bad 60's and 70's science fiction movies. Still I think 3 stars or C+ would be how I would rate it.

I think there are some decent songs here, but it is still only 2 stars or D+ for me. I just don't like Randy Newman's voice and I really don't like the orchestra music behind several songs on ythis album.

I think anyone needing to do a lie detector test should listen to a Marvin Gaye album before they take it because is voice can lower your blood pressure and heart rate, and relieve stress while you listen. For me though, it is not a favoured style of music but still a good 3 star album or solid C+.

This to me is a definite 5 star A+ album. Supertramp, like Queen, had an original and distinctive sound that gave relief to us in the disco era of the mid 70's.

This is an interesting listen. Not something I would normally listen to, but the more I listen the more I like it, so 3 stars or C+.

The the is is quite quite good good. 3 stars C+

Takes me back to many movies and tv shows of the 70's. 4 stars or B just for nostalgia.

Great voice but this style of music is not for me. 2 stars D+.

I don't like everything here, but what I do like I like a lot. Solid B or 4 stars.

Even though I really like Give Up The Funk, the rest does not raise this above 2 stars or D+ for me.

For me this is another album where the best songs are very good (Walk this Way, Sweet Emotion, You See Me Crying) to rate 4 stars or B, but the rest lower that to a B-.

I like it enough to give 4stars or B- and that could rise to B+ with more listens.

A couple decent songs but it just doesn't interest me. 2 stars or D+.

I can't even describe how bad this is. 1 star F-.

Just a good hour of music. Would have been a good band for a college pub in the 70's. The more beer you drank the better they sounded. I think 4 stars or a B is suitable.

Sorry, no thanks. 1 star or F for me.

I think Stormy Weather is a decent song, but the rest does not bring this album above 2 stars or D+.

This album helps me understand the popularity of hip hop and rap, which gets me to 3 stars, but when I compare it to the rambling garbage of Eminem it goes to 4 stars or a B rating.

Easily 4 stars but Ramble On and Heartbreaker push it to 5 stars or A- for me.

This album is like a questionnaire response to me because there are parts I dislike, parts I somewhat dislike, parts I somewhat like, parts I like, and the song Life that I really like. All in all 3 stars or C+.

A pretty good listen but maybe 3 stars or C+ would be my rating. An album that might seem grow on me with more plays.

The lyrics of the songs are good enough that his voice only lowers this to 4 stars or B for me.

I really don't like very much of this but will give it 2 stars or D-.

Didn't think much pf thr first few songs but the last half were much better to bring it to 3 stars or C+ overall.

Best I can say is it's better than Eminem so 2 stars or D-.

From start to finish this album deserves 1 star or less. F-

This is simply a great live album. five star or A rating for me.

The individual songs are worthy of 4 stars but they all sound so similar to me that I can only give 3 stars or C+.

I can almost smell the stale beer and cigarettes with a Sunday morning hangover, from a few decades ago, when I listen to this, so that must be worth 4 stars or B- at least.

This album is what it says it is. I am too old to be that angry so 2 stars or D+.

Easy decision to rate 3 stars or C. Nothing great but nothing bad just an okay set of songs.

Everything on this album fits together really well. I wasn't expecting it would be this good, which seems silly considering it is John Lennon. Five stars or A.

I can understand the appeal of this album, which probably deserve 4 stars, but since it is Kanye it is 2 stars or D for me.

Not really my fsvorite genre of music but the one band I do like is Metallica so I rate it as 4 stars or B+.

A good album but not quite as good as Metallica 1 for me so 3 stars or C+ rating.

This album is an okay listen but nothing really stands out for me so I guess 3 stars or C seems a suitabie rating.

Just squeaks into 4 stars or B- for me. Good album but I have never been a big fan of the Byrds and this didn't change that.

The best known songs are all worthy of 5 stars, and the weaker songs do not lower that rating much. For me I would rate it A- but still 5 stars.

Another album that benefits from the fact the first Rap album I heard was Eminem's Slim Shady. I didn't like this all that much but it is night and day better than Eminem. Still just 2 stars or D+ for me.

There is a lot on this album that I quite dislike but the three or four songs I do like are good enough to make me look farther into this band and rate this album at 3 stars or C-.

There are parts of this album that I might give 3+ stars but the rest lowers it to 2 stars or D+ for me.

Californication and Scar Tissue get this to 2 stars or D+ but that is where it stops.

One star from start to finish equals F-. Sounds like music for an alien invasion.

For some reason this brings memories to me of watching British TV shows from the sixties and seventies. My rating would be 4 stars or B+.

The songwriting on this album lifts it to 4 stars or B- for me.

This was 1 star for me when I was 10 and is still 1 star 56 years later, F.

It's like watching a classic Western movie without needing the film. A 5 star or A rated concept album for me. Edit - 14.12.2025: Should be an A+.

Nothing that interests me at all so 1 star or F for me.

This is probably a very good jazz album, but I am not a fan of jazz at all, so it is 1 star or F for me.

This is okay as background noise for other activities, so I guess 2 stars or D- would be a suitable rating.

This is not a genre I have any desire to listen to though I found the final track to be tolerable at least. Still 1 star or F for me.

A very good album from start to finish. For me this is 5 stars or A-.

Just interesting enough for 2 stars or D+.

I never have understood why so many people think so highly of the Beach Boys. For me 2 stars or D- is generous.

Not my favourite style of music, and one song cannot carry an entire album. so 2 stars or D+.

Johnny Cash being Johnny Cash! 5 stars or A rating obviously.

Wow, this album is boring! 2 stars or D- because I always need sleep.

When the aliens arrive I think they will be listening to this album. There is a strange but appealing feel to it that gets 5 stars or A- as a rating from me.

This should be ona list of albums no one should ever have to listen to. 1 star or F-.

This was a 1 star album until Glory Box added the second star. 2 stars or D+.

Vocals are just okay but the lyrics make this asolid 3 stars or C+.

I think this album is definitely worthy of more listens. For now I would rate it 4 stars or B-.

Superstition and Big Brother get 2 stars or D from me but the rest leave it at that.

Lay down, light up, headphones on, volume up, close your eyes and climb the stairway. Then you will understand how great this album is. 5 stars or A+ without question.

I feel that this album is worthy of 4 stars or B based on three very good songs. (Dominion/Mother Russia, 1959, and especially This Corrosion.)

I know there are people who really enjoy this music, but I am certainly not one of them. 1 star or F for me.

The hit songs are pretty good but the rest is just ok so 3 stars or C- for me.

This album is just okay but doesn't make me interested in a second runthrough so 2 stars or D+.

With Tangled Up in Blue snd Shelter From the Storm, the rest of it easily carries this to 5 stars or A.

Heroes is a decent song but an awful album, 1 star or F.

Good collection of cover songs done reasonably well so 3 stars or C-.

There are a few good songs here but not enough for a double album. Overall, I think 2 stars or D+ is where I would rate it.

Sounds a bit like a mix of Talking Heads and the Doors. 3 stars or C+ for me but that might improve some on a second listen.

There is nothing here that I ever need or want to hear again. 1 star or F for me.

I am not usually a big fan of live albums but this is an exception to that. 5 stars or A-.

Hard to decide between 3 and 4 stars but Emmylou's voice gets it to 4 stars or B- for me.

The only good thing about this album is that by the time it ended I had already forgotten that I ever listened to it. 1 star or F-.

A consistently good live album from a very 70's band so 4 stars or B- for me.

Just a really, really good album. 5 stars or A for me.

There are some okay parts to this album but there is way too much I don't like at all to rate it higher than 2 stars or D.

I am pretty sure James Brown Live in 1963 would have been worthy of 5 stars and this album gives you a good sense of that. 5 stars or A for me.

Sultans of Swing is a great song but the rest is not at that level, so 3 stars or C+ is my rating.

The music is okay, lead singer is below average, so 2 stars or D+ seems fair.
