1001 Albums Summary

it turns out the beatles made pretty good music? is anyone talking about this? though I don't know if it's gotta be 90 minutes long

there isn't even one song about pinball

that little "gunk gunk duuuhnk guh duh dunk" riff in "waiting for the sun" makes me gotta beep a gunk a chucha honk konh konh kadanta

went into a fugue state and now my dick is purple??

i was told i would be gathering no moss, but here we are

b̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ m̶i̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ OK computer is written by one stoned british dude who just mutters shit like wot if ya mum ran on batteries

gumbo mumbo jumbo

jick magger

(reviewed but still jingling)

transition from rapid fire to metal gods pounded me like a battering ram

this is not quite as happening

this was released almost exactly at the midpoint between the death of Buddy Holly and the release of "Buddy Holly"... coincidence??

i don't drive but one time i was hit by a car while riding my bike. overall this was a much more positive experience

prince would've never written "1999" if he knew this was what was coming

depeche mode light mode

unfortunately was assigned this one on a thursday night

i was not prepared for the moog

broke: bach, brahms, beethoven // bespoke: byrne, bowie, brianeno

it was definitely all yellow

honey you're leaving already? you've barely touched your bowl of cigarette ash

beff juckley

i really thought "this sounds something off the soundtrack for 'jet set radio' or a 'tony hawk' game" and it turns out it's actually both. brilliant

look man i do dig what you're doing here but this acid trip only lasts six hours and i got some trees i gotta look at

i think my relationship is too stable for this one

geter pabriel

this has nothing to do with how i feel about the album but it is objectively funny to go from this to "are we there yet"

not even one song about drinking from a red solo cup

ABBA is a 5-star band, but ABBA Gold Greatest Hits is fully the 5-star album

fun but i wouldn't wake up early on sunday for it

the smiths are at their best when morrissey isn't around

much prefer "synth taylor" to "guitar taylor" so there's a lot to appreciate here even if it gets a little slow for me in the third act. style remains a top 5 pop song of the decade

apparently it's said that this is "impossible to dance to" which means it's one of very few albums that i personally understand how to dance to

top tier option in the "my dad" oeuvre

i'm realizing every college basement show i ever went to in boston was just trying to be this

bim tuckley

nitrogen in my bones

everyone says this is a swan song about mortality but i think it actually deconstructs the concept of looking for your ass

didn't hate this as much as i wanted to but it's still pretty exhausting

is this a jojo reference????

music for sipping coffee on the porch as the seasons change

canada is just indie america so this tracks

pretty fun and funky but no reason to revisit; is this the album with the least robust wikipedia page?

i'm tired of this guy

honestly rocks. what i'd want to hear in a glass museum

ahead of its time in that it sounds just like the albums i didn't want to listen to in 2008

folky, flutey, feels like a blanket

replaceable

46 million listens on oliver's army, and 23 million are people rewinding after a double take

30 minutes long was respectful so at least I appreciate that

[wii shop channel update day sketch voice] turn that up, i love that groovin' — what kind of music is that? like a bossa nova beat?

a reasonably beachy boy

bark bark meow meow

good timing to be sullen and stoned

great timing on this one

great! if you like this you should listen to Live! 8-24-1979, the energy is so fun and a lo-fi touch really works well, probably my 5 star B-52s album. it's as big as a whale

pretty good but there aren't any songs about applebees so i'm not sure if it counts as country music

a potato flew around my room before you came

more songs should sample angry christians accidentally recommending great music acts

best song is the one that just makes fun of bob dylan

given the name its crazy that this isn't the one with the naked baby on the cover

my kingdom for a guitar

good sidewalk music. music for sidewalks

i'm going to guess that every bit i liked has way more to do with brian eno than bono

what is this, the peaky blinders theme song?

i mean it does sound like they're from ohio

been a rough couple weeks and "with a little help from my friends" did a lot for me. so there you go, four stars

g. love and special sauce is the name of a college radio duo who got stuck with the 4AM timeslot, which is probably where this belongs

good beats, good bars, good vibes

i have found folk music that speaks to me but this just doesn't do anything for me

groovy funky smokey tokey

bathing in a bubble bath of bits and bytes. feels like taking a power washer to my brain

doesn't even have a jojo reference

just longer than it needs to be

i will not be listening to the entirety of this one before i die

i think i'd rather die tryin

beep boop a lot of this rocked. my cat lied down on the desk while this was on, i think he was feeling it

I'm sure this would be fun if I at all liked Metallica

i at least support saving donald duck

shocking proportion of bangers, but with a few biiiig stinkers i'm not convinced that there's much reason to visit this as an actual album over a greatest hits compilation

sounds like what you'd think a bruce springsteen 9/11 album sounds like

now that's a pretty solid vista

i gotta give em credit, starting with a wonderwall fakeout is very funny

yeah, dry

1 or 2 songs really scratch an itch, but an hour's worth gets me in the grave

mr. president, a second brick just hit the wall

buffalo stance is a lot of fun but not finding reason to revisit this one after track 1

early talking heads is still excellent talking heads

aggressively sleepy

i tend to underrate early-2000s indie folk stuff but something about this works for me. absolutely devastating album art though

excellent if repetitive melodies, though vocals is tough for me to get past. cool stuff

not feeling a lot of verve for this one

look man i was already convinced to stay together from the first song

2000s indie music for 2000s indie films

bollywood bond with a strong helping of morricone. fun

good stuff before becoming a total hack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

we have britpop at home

yep, it's reggae

worldy, hip-hoppy, interesting

if only it didn't have morrissey

my shoes have never looked so good

tina turner the clocks back

lovely

need to remind myself that a 4-star bowie album is just a 5-star album

nice enough for what it is

one red hot chili peppers song can be a jam, but an album is exhausting

i am a new wave defender but this one makes it hard

first track is an absolute banger and i'm thrilled to add it to my rotation. the rest of it is normal CCR

now this is podracing

come for the funky title track, mostly stay for the funky title track
