It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

I’m not a metal fan. However, Metallica definitely set the bar for all things metal. My favorite track was Orion. While I personally probably not listen to the album, I certainly will add Orion to my listing in queue.

Eagles

3/5

Okay, I realize I've not listened to their debut album, or more likely I did at least once before but don't remember it. Outside of the three tracks that made the greatest hits album (Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, and Peaceful Easy Feeling), the others are so lackluster. Those three tracks, however, are amazing and were destined to be classics from the moment this album was released. I'm just surprised at how little I like any of the others. This is an album only worth noting for "first appearances" but not one that I'd want to keep in my playlist.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Jazz is a whole art in itself and one that I don't completely understand (yet). Part of it will be my high-frequency hearing loss I've had my entire life, which I suspect prevents me from getting the full experience as Mr. Davis intended. I rather enjoyed this and will rate it 4 stars because it is smooth.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Hadn't really listened to a full album from TSP, but enjoyed this one. There are some really great tracks and high-energy songs. I'll definitely return to their music more down the road.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

The United States Of America

4/5

So this is a good reason to be following this 1001 albums generator - discovering unique albums I would likely not discover otherwise. Reminiscent of the late 60s Beatles (in huge part b/c it was produced in 1968), The United States of America offered up a lot of great experimental and avant-garde tunes that I will likely return to hear again.

NEU! 75

Neu!

5/5

Whoa, this is a cool album. Never heard of this band before now but they are going onto my rotation.

Elvis Presley

3/5

I suppose I should give it 4 stars but I'm just not a big fan of his music. Great and amazing voice for sure.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

System Of A Down

4/5

I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

I was blown away at how timeless this album felt. Dusty is who Taylor Swift aspires to be.

The Cars

4/5

Man, I’m not sure but I feel like The Cars set the stage for the 80s pop explosion about to happen. Love this album!

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

Another good one! Lots of great tunes to get you moving.

I had this on cassette back in the 80s and this is the first time I listened to it in well over 30 years. Love it!

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

High Violet

The National

4/5

Big fan of The National here, but I confess I've not listened to this album. Loved it and will definitely add to my rotation! From my first listen, my favorite track is "Afraid of Everyone".

I don't listen to Bowie much, but really should. Glad this forced me to listen to a full album. I love his descriptive writing style and enjoy the music.

I admit I’ve not listened to Prince at all even though his music defined my generation. I’m surprised at his range, stylistically and thematically.

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I am honestly surprised by Winehouse's sound. I admit I never listened to her music though I heard so much about her. She sang with the sounds of old souls (Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra) and I absolutely love her music. Will definitely return to this album and explore her other offerings.
