I love this. Wilco is always welcome! I wonder if Jeff Tweedy will send me another message on Spotify this year after I spent the whole day listening to this. I do hope there's more Wilco on this list. I'm looking forward to it! Misunderstood, Far, Far Away, and Forget the Flowers are some of my favorites. Not related to this album, but Cruel Country is a cool song

Bangers: Lust for Life The Passenger

It grew on me on the second listen. It'll grow on my as I listen to the lyrics. Bangers: Life's a Bitch

Bangers: Mrs. Robinson (of course) Really like Mrs. Robinson and a few more of the singles on side 2 but it didn't grab me as a whole. Which is weird. I thought it would have grabbed me more knowing their stuff.

Bangers: Hotel California ( i love its creepiness) Life in the Fast Lane (Joe Walsh's guitar mostly) I wasn't really in a 70s rock mood on this day.

Bangers: Ladies and gentlemen we are floating is space is a long time favorite! I Think I'm in Love Home of the Brave Broken Heart Cop Shoot Cop...

I love Luke Haines voice. And knowing he was in Black Box Recording may color this rating in a good way. I liked it a lot. I'll be coming back

Time is a jet plane

It was good. I like running. Perhaps I wasn't born for it, but I live for it currently.

I just had tacos and margaritas before listening to this album. I love it. I love acoustic guitars and fuzzy electrics guitar solos. It seems to jump around and not just repeat itself. I will be coming back.

I'm in love. With this album. Who knew?

This isn't called 1001 mediocre albums you should listen to before you die.

One of my favorite Metallica albums. Long, long songs. I don't remember being angry enough or energetic enough to love this album as much as I did in the past. Songs about war. Songs about murder. It's a trip.

I love this too. The guitars sound amazing. No idea why I haven't checked this out before.

I love Elvis Costello’s voice but this album didn’t grab me yesterday

I loved it as a kid. It’s okay

I liked it. I’ll need to return to it and listen to the lyrics more.

Flyin' High (In The Friendly Sky)!

YES!!

So good!!

Buddy Holly's falsetto and those guitars! Amazing sounds! Some really great songs on here. Oh Boy! Not Fade Away Maybe Baby That'll Be The Day I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love Send Me Some Lovin'

the singles were really good

so good

get the led out!

I love Hot for Teacher

It's alright

Jump Into The Fire is the best song in the world. And the rest of the songs on this album are tied for second.

The beats just keep this moving. Black Man's Cry is a cool, hypnotic song.

I liked it. First time listening to it, but I think it'll creep into my mind over time.

oh god...this isn't a good album to listen to in my current state of mind. It is amazing. I love it. I just want to be hanging out in The O.C. and enjoying life instead of whatever I'm doing now. Some times I think I failed at life. The above was before I exercised for the day. I feel okay now. But I wonder who the real me is. The one who nostalgically yearns for something else or the one that feels okay. Do I have a 'Thrill'ing life? What has this review turned into?

Singles are awesome! the rest of the album just isn't my thing right now.

It should be higher for me, but it just didn't do it for me right now. Some bangers for sure, but not overall for me today

This is one of my heart albums. It is in the best of the best category. The title song is so good along with all the other songs. I squealed when I saw that this is the album of the day. Listening to it again some of these songs really got me. Half Past France: "We're so far away" (thinking about death) Andalucia: "When you'd made up your mind not to come, And I couldn't persuade you, Or wait till tomorrow -- or pass the time" Ah-may-zing

Nerds. For sure. I liked it.

I liked it

Willie!!

I was driving around listening to this, and I felt so cool!

Not my favorite LCD Soundsystem, but I still like it

I loved this. Never really listened to Can but I'm totally going to be playing this a lot more.

I haven't listened to this album in more than 20 years and it takes me back to a past time. I love the switching of the vocals from guttural yelling to singing. Wait and Bleed and Spit It Out. They sure do like their drums. And I like their drums too. This isn't something I reach for, but it's something that I like knowing that it's there.

I like it a lot. The album cover is one that is pleasantly seared into my memory

I like the Memphis country Elvis

Nerds. I don't love the album, but I like it. I'm glad Steely Dan exists. For their songs and De La Soul too. Thank you, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen!

I'm sure it's great to someone.

I needed this one today. This takes me back to a warm winter day, soon after Christmas, playing Star Wars Rogue Squadron and listening to John Lennon. The shadows were long in the late afternoon, and school was still out for a few more days. I felt the Isolation for sure, but I felt the Love as well. I don't know if it was a simpler time at all. Strong in this one, the nostalgia is.

I haven't devoted enough time to Stevie Wonder, but this makes me want to.

I listen to this every so often, and it still hits.

I love me some David Bowie

I wasn't really into a hardcore punk mood, and I've never listened to these guys before, but I liked it! I want to come back to it for sure. The thumping guitar lines in I Against I song are awesome.

I like it okay. I should check it out a few more times before having any definitive opinions

I forget how weird Beck can be. He's so popular and his songs just sound normal because that's the way they've always been, but when I sit and listen, a lot of his songs aren't all that normal. And that's a good thing. I need to slow down and listen to Beck be weird more often. The chill songs (Jack-Ass and Ramshackle) are just as great as his let's move around songs (Where It's At and The New Pollution). It's a 90s album I forget about too often. "Loose ends tying a noose In the back of my mind" Jack-Ass might be my favorite Beck song, but I haven't thought about it hard enough. I guess after someone sweeps up my lazy bones, I'll figure something out.

I don't have a history with this album, but I feel like I know most of these songs already through the collective unconsciousness (at least that's the rumor). Now I need some cranberry juice

This is so good. Boston songs on Boston album are just every where in my musical history. Just 70s songs being 70s.

You give me a Velvet Underground cover and you win me over. Also, if you worked with Giorgio Moroder and shifted your style into a synth-pop style, you win me over too. And then if it's foggy and drizzly and you sing about Quiet Life and Despair, yeah, you did it.

It's good. I remember them being huge when this came out, and I never got a chance to really dive in. It's nice that I got a chance to listen to this now.

One of my favorites bands' favorite band. I've never dived too deep into R.E.M. but have always thought they were cool, and people I thought were cool loved them. Pioneers of alternative rock for the win. Perhaps I've been concerned about their huge back catalog and where to start, so I'm overjoyed that 1001 put them on the list. I want more R.E.M.

Psychedelic soul? That’s all you had to say!

“If I’m gonna be sad, y’all gonna be sad.”

This one has taken me a few tries over the years, but it finally did it for me. I don't think I really knew enough in 2002 for this to hit. Now it hits more. I like that it feels like an album for sure. Really great songs Guess I'm Doing Fine, Lost Cause, It's All In Your Mind, and Already Dead for me. But it's an album I want to hear in its entirety.

I really really like this one. I always think of Bob Brainen's show on WFMU and his calming voice and frog background on chill, chilly Saturday mornings while I drink warm coffee. He plays a bunch of Zombies tracks while the sun pours through the window, and I sit just listening and not worrying about what I'm doing with any part of my life. Yeah, so, totally five stars.

LL Cool K = Lee Loves Kool Kim

I love love love this one. Famous Blue Raincoat is one of my heart songs. It is the best PS3 Singstar song for my vocal register. So many memories, mostly of people groaning when I chose to sing it again. And again. "Did you ever go clear?" The rest of the album is stellar too. I just want to day drink. By myself. And read some Bukowski. Why do I love sad songs so much? I must have some issues. Sincerely, L. Lerner

He's so cool, this album is so cool. This one is on repeat

I liked it. I love Springsteen's sad lyrics about everyday people, and the singles are very cool. It's wild how the '80s pop feel contrasts with the lyrics. I did not know how much of the production of this album was happening concurrently with Nebraska, which I love, and they were almost a double album. I'm glad each happened on its own. Once I get in the Springsteen mood this hits for real, but I don't live in the Springsteen mood always. Jersey Strong!

It was neat. It could use some repeated listens to really figure this one out. I liked Green Fields.

Janis Joplin is freaking cool! Heroin is a hell of a drug. Mercedes Benz and Me and Bobby McGee are so good! I like the album okay as a whole.

I like this a lot. I've listened to a few songs in the past but never sat down with the full album. It's not rotten

She's so good! I love this album. Her voice is amazing. All the big songs still hit me. I added the Prince cover When You Were Mine to a playlist earlier this year and love it whenever it comes on

I wanted to be Jimi Hendrix when I was young, still do some times. Great great great album! I love Burning of the Midnight Lamp and 1983... and all of them really. I could and I am listening to so many of the releases of takes he did. There is so much. I love it! He's another of my heart songs.

This is the first full industrial album that I've listened to and I absolutely love it. At first, I had no idea what was going on, but as I continued to listen, I just got sucked in. Now I'm listening to it again. This is a perfect example of why I signed up for this 1001 albums project. This album put me in a happier mood today. There has to be something wrong with me. I listened to this again after I got home for the day and was giggling. Perhaps, it just lets me know that other people have these anxious or dejected feelings, and it makes me feel less alone. Weeping is so good. E-Coli is fun. Walls of Sound and Blood on the Floor ended it perfectly. Poor marmalade though... And Hamburger Lady, Mrs. Beef loved the idea too. Like I said, I must have problems though to give this five stars. I'll figure them out one day.

Sonic Youth is so cool. They have the beats per minute that make you want to go go, but this cool veneer that seems so chill. They take time to meander some on this album too, which could go on all day IMO.

I liked this one! I haven't checked this album out before although I've heard a couple of songs from it before. Someone is a fav. I love Neil Hannon's voice.

I've listened to It Takes a Nation... but never this one, and I really like it. So much good music in the world. I need to listen to this one more

When you really need some cosmic post-rock, pull this out.

Taking me back

I love the beats for sure! And the nerdy, sci fi lyrics are cool. Some of it is a little much, but overall, I like it.

I love burritos. I wish I could fly. And I love my brother. This album is great! Gram Parsons might be my (grievous) guardian angel. The Byrds and his solo stuff, all of it, yeah, amazing. I love hippie music, I love country music, so this just hits. The opening of Hot Burrito #1 still gets me every time I hear it. And I didn't even get to the nudie suits from the album cover. Scott Pilgrim must love this album! (I need to re-listen to the Bandsplain on Gram Parsons. I remember driving back from a hike in Arkansas, and it was getting icy and late, late at night. It's just one of those memories that sticks with me, and these songs bring me back to that weekend.)

Some very cool songs on this album, but I'm not feeling it today.

Not really into it today. I love me some Lenny Kravitz songs some times. There's a new one that I like a lot I heard last week.

I love this. Wilco is always welcome! I wonder if Jeff Tweedy will send me another message on Spotify this year after I spent the whole day listening to this. I do hope there's more Wilco on this list. I'm looking forward to it! Misunderstood, Far, Far Away, and Forget the Flowers are some of my favorites. Not related to this album, but Cruel Country is a cool song

I really thought I was going to be too cool for my favorite band in the 1990s. But I'm not. This is so good! I love fuzzy guitars and melancholy emotions with some rage thrown in there. Billy Corgan has the emotions and makes me feel along with him. I was about to list my favorite songs, but all of them, they're all on the list. Maybe Mayonaise or Silverfuck would be at the top if I had to choose.

I loved it. I do want it darker.

I didn’t really like this on the first listen. I gave it a couple of days and now I like it more. Particularly the bass is really cool on a lot of the songs.

I need to add this to my Duolingo studying. I love it!

Alright

I've listened to a few Brian Eno songs here and there but never a whole album. 'I'll Come Running' is one of those here or there songs, and I love it! I love the rest of the album too.

I liked this. The only song I was familiar with was The Humpty Dance which was on a mix tape my cousin made and I thought it was so cool then. I still think it's so cool now. The album was definitely goofy in some parts. But I loved a lot of the songs on the first listen.

It's good. I like the sound even though I may have drifted off from focusing on it. New Order is definitely a hole in my musical history that I would like to fill more.

This feels like home. A bit murdery too, but not the creepiest murdery country songs. So, that's kinda a shame

I liked this. Fun Christmas songs. I'll need to spend some more time with it in the future.

I got Welcome to the Monkey House one Christmas, so the Dandy Warhols sound have a weird winter/Christmas association for me. So, I find it fitting that this is the album the day after Christmas. Plus, Hard On for Jesus! I love Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth and all the other songs too. The Creep Out is an awesome final song on the album.

I enjoyed this. Some really good songs and a couple that I've added to playlists in the past. Ten Years Gone is so good.

I liked this. I think I liked individual songs more than the whole package together though, but still quite a bit on the second or third listen. It's a slow burner for me.

Pale Blue Eyes is a top ten song for me. The Murder Mystery is wild and After Hours is great. Everything is more polished than other VU albums, but Beginning To See The Light harkens back a bit to that wildness that I love so much.

Here’s one of those albums I’ve been meaning to listen to for a long time and just never made the time. I like it a lot. Shadowboxer and Carrion are a couple of favorites, but I loved Never is a Promise the most.

Really good album! Going Mobile was a cool song I haven’t heard before, and ofc Behind Blue Eyes is really great

“Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes” Heartland is a cool song. Slow Train to Dawn is too. First listen I wasn’t sure if this was an album I would come back to, but after sitting with it longer, I want to remember and listen to it more.

I like this honky tonk. Some Willie Nelson is always good. It wasn’t the best album to listen to in dry January, I wanted to get a Night Life though.

This is a great album! The B-52’s are the weird I want, maybe even the weird I need. I love Dance This Mess Around.

I've always wanted to listen to Miles Davis, but never jumped in. This is me jumping in. It's really good.

This is a Gigantic album for me. It's one of the 11 albums I am glad to have listened to before I die. Every song on this album. It's a big, big love. Now I need to go buy me a soda.

I liked Help Me and Free Man in Paris a lot. I've never sat down with Joni Mitchell, and this will be a slow burn for me. It was good.

This is an interesting album. I think I like the lyrics, but I need to focus on listening to them next time. Not my cup of tea really, but it is intriguing

I love Marty Robbins voice, and storytelling songs are so great! Sad songs with bullets

I am glad that Pearl Jam is in the world. Every so often a song will come on and it just feels great. A lot of those songs are from this album.

"Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios" John Prine is just so good. I haven't dove/dived/diven too deeply into his discography.

This is so cool!! I’ve always heard how cool they were but just never listened. My mistake! Djed is a 20 minute song and is too short, or actually, just perfect!

This is good. I find jazz really cool when I'm calm and relax. It's harder to get into when I'm flustered or working. But given time, this album calmed me down while being flustered. I like the vocals coming in on part 1. And the drum solo and bass solo in part 3 were really cool!

I love her voice and how chill this live performance is. And the ad libs are funny.

I love the bass and drums on this album, love the beats. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough is amazing!
