1001 Albums Summary

not for me, the lyrics are disjointed and are hard to follow a story. music is nice, soft acoustic guitar which is calming and reminds me of Forrest Gump for some reason. I had a hard time listening to this album and enjoying it.

FUCK. YEAH. Heavy bass, slammin drums and righteous idealism. I was surprised by how raw this album sounds 30 years later. So many good memories listening to this album as a youth. Wish I still had that energy, definitely makes me think about my choices as a corporate drone!

Horns, synthesizer and funky bass lines. So many classic hits on this album. I remember when Ron got kicked out of the Filmore and the cop pulled his tape. Great album!

Pop punk, new wave and rock and roll all rolled into one. What a fantastic album. I don't know this one as well as I should. I've listened through twice today, very easy to listen to in detail or let it run in the background.

bluesy filtered rock, such heavy riffs and drums, I like this album but remember it being more poppy and easy to listen to, there was a lot of noodling

so weird, I feel like you'd have to be on the trip with Bowie to really get deep into this one

cool as fuck

chill background music

"Like James Brown for neurotic Jews" sums Zappa up pretty well. Love the horns, a little too crazy and wild for my tastes to really love it. Good background music.

first song had some good energy then it kinda fizzled from there. Felt like a directionless, bland copy of other great 80s bands. Don't want to listen to this one again.

like a 60s version of backstreet boys or n sync - this album really grated on me after the first song or two, the entire thing sounded like one long song

great album, love the guitar and the vocals bring you back to a time and place that had lots of problems for lots of people. You can hear the influence the blues had on just about every genre that followed and for good reason.

easy listening corporate rock

wish they would drop the stupid skits but otherwise a great album with so many bangers, its too bad Lauryn Hill hates white people cuz she's easily the greatest female rapper of all time in my opinion

surprisingly bland kinda throwaway music

did not listen to whole album, wtf was this??

what a great album, it's fun to listen to with plenty of poppy songs but also a serious artistic album at the same time. I was surprised by how light the instruments really are on some of the songs. I love this album. Reminds me of Dad.

Not the album I would have expected from Talking Heads but still a pleasant listen on a Friday!

I love this album, so many boppers on it

like a poor man's The Smiths I guess?

I wanted to like this a lot more than I ended up. Some heavy, driving bass lines were fun but I think my lack of nostalgia for this album hurt my rating.

very chill, sounded like the precursor to what we today call singer songwriters? I liked this more than I expected.

this is getting rough, so many terrible albums

skimmed some songs not for me

Chali2na and Cut Chemist carry this group but still a great album and great memories seeing them live

One of the best albums of all time, love to see this on the list!

surprisingly good

great album with only a few crazy parts - great morning music

pretty good album overall and I love the west coast sound. I wonder what 2Pac could have been if gangsta rap wasn't the popular thing at the time.

several songs had the girls dancing around being silly this weekend! great album and one I don't listen to enough

I forget how political this album is, still lots of head boppers

surprisingly chill, decent album!

fuck yeah

I don't know the Flaming Lips that well but this wasn't really what I expected for some reason

bland and mids at best

Slow and dark but I like Leonard Cohen in general

Repeating songs? How is this on the list? Ugh

I liked this one more than I expected

What was this? Terrible singing off-key
