1001 Albums Summary

Reminds me of driving with my Dad. Better than I remember, but just ok. Sounds a lot like Phil Spector’s wall of music

60/70’s rock, raw live performance, Im a sucker for that stuff. Sounds like heavily influenced by Hendrix. This version of “my generation” is solid

This album is SO GOOO, going into permanent rotation!

Oh Man, I already love Metallica and Im not sure I know this album, we going hard today! This album is quintessential 80's loud metal, but after listening to Beach Boy, The Who, Pink Floyd, in that order you can kinda hear the lineage. I don't remember Metallica being so anti-war, but it definitely has a message. Orion is dope, but I love Rodrigo y Gabriela's version Album is decent but not my fav, maybe 2.5 - 3 stars

80’s punk/pop, pretty solid. A few songs ive heard before. Space Invaders, was a really cool instrumental

I mean its a classic for a reason right?

Always known of The Grateful Dead just had no idea why, Truckin is a classic but I don’t think I’d go out of my way to listen to this for anything else

I was backpacking through Greece when this album came out. The 1st time I vividly renumber hearing it was at a place called the "Orange Bar" on the Island of Ios. How many albums do you remember where you were the 1st time you heard them? I have no idea but I know this is one of them.

Beautiful voice, but the music sounds really dated. It hasn't aged as gracefully as other albums I've listed to in this project. I think this is a one and done kind of album. I know her other album "Blue" (I think it's called) is highly rated, so I'm looking forward to that one. I did like the jazzyness of "Harry's House" I really didn't like the church hymn style of Shadows and Light, I guess if art is to make you "feel" something, this song is art, just not the type I like

I like this, reminiscent of a Pink Floyd album where the it feels like a journey. It stands on it own from beginning to end. Sound and Vision is a jam. I wish I could give half stars cause this feels like a 3.5. Not quite a 4 in my opinion so I'm going with a 3. I'll listen again though

This was a surprise, never heard of this band, and honestly i kinda judged the book by the cover on this one. It was surprisingly good.

1st Radiohead album I've listened to from beginning to end. Pretty good, I missed out on a lot of their music as I was heavy into house/trance when they got big. It's good though, Im in.

This is different, it’s imaginative, it’s cool, it’s creepy. It’s art, this is a ride through space. Very Pink Floyd esque. My son will love falling asleep to this

Some classics on here for sure, but not a great album

This is poetry, really good.

This is nostalgia, it was a classic already by the time I discovered in my high school years. It's such a smooth album

Great album, I never heard it before. It must have just been overshadowed by the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc which were all huge at the time.

Trumpet drums guitar. You can hear so much of what influenced future artists in this album

I remember how fresh these beats were when this was 1st released. A classic

I don't know what I'm missing on this? I mean i get that she has a great voice but ok.. i don’t get how her album would rank higher than Linda Rondstant

This is jazz, really good, really chill. Nice to hear the interplay between musicians. Really helpful for understanding jazz.

Good just not for me..

I love this stuff

This is a great album filled with classics we all know without realizing we know cause they’re just in our fabric as a culture. I liked this better than Joni Mitchell’s Blue which gets so much love. My silly opinion 4 stars

Not for me

Some great songs on this album.

Interesting, i wasn’t expecting the electric guitar on this one. Something new and interesting but probably wont seek out again

If the name of this band was the beatles this album would have been so much more popular. Surprisingly good, feels like it got lost in an era of so much good music

This is my era of rap, beats, flows, life stories, and all smooth. A classic

I forgot how great this album was. Axel Rose kills it

I know nothing about this album other than my wife loved them. Looking forward to this. So much better than i expected, i get the hype

Dope

its alright..

I get why it's on this list but it's not for me.

Man this album made me feel officially old. The whole time i kept thinking “this is just noise!”

This feels like the soundtrack of the 80’s. Man i miss those days.

Love this from beginning to end

Iconic voice, good album

Unique voice, its 50/50 feminine and masculine, its beautiful

This is beautiful, this is the type of thing i was hoping to get out of this project

From the opening riff you know this is something different. This album was revolutionary when it came and still great!

I cant believe i missed the whole Radiohead era, they’re great, great album

This has aged pretty well. Great album

I like its or Fun album

I prefer there later stuff

Love key to the highway

Albums like this is what keeps me in to this project. Never heard of this band and I love it

Pretty good, lost in a time of great alternative music, but some great songs overall.

Timeless, great album

Not for me

Good album

Love Elton

Good ol' classic rock.

Ehh..

Neil Young‘s voice is a taste I have not yet acquired.

Another in a string of pretty bad albums.

I enjoyed much more while I was younger, still worth a listen, it's aged better than I have.

I forgot how much i like this album, Its great

spector’s wall of sound in full effect. Love it

I think what makes this project a little difficult is context. This was a pretty amazing album at the time it came out but going back to it 30 years later it doesn't have the same affect as it did when I originally heard it. Still great though

Ive heard the name so many times over the years and didn’t know why he was famous. This was a geeat album

Never heard of this band. This is pretty good

Noise, just noise

I wasn't as impressed with this album as I thought I'd be

Couldnt find so gave a 3

Beautiful voice, some great songs, and nice piano work, but nothing Id search out

too loud, too fast

Love Creedence

Synth jazz? Interesting, original for the time

Better than last Wilco album i was given

Great album

Fun album, ill hold on to this one

Relaxing

Pretty voice. Listened to while i was at the beach at night. Nice soundtrack

Makes me wanna wear black and paint my fingernails, but in a good way.

Great voice but not the best

es nice..

I believe the kids these days call these “bangers”

This is the 3rd Wilco album I've gotten, they have been progressively been getting better, this one's good.

I'm a sucker for this era, such great music and this is in there.

This is a great album

This is cool, super imaginative, and original

I was about 11 or 12 when this album cane out. Early grunge rock days, i always ignored it cause i was too young to understand. Looking back, its a pretty great album.

Just good ol' school Metallica, nice.

Love these girls

Fuck that..

Classic

It was ok..

Good album. Live version is much better

14 year old me loved this album. It still holds up

Good album

Nice album, great voice, just a bit dated.

This was pretty great

Classic

Not for me

Old school funk with a make over.

I liked this, adding it to the rotation

I never gave this album a shot when I was growing up because it came out when I was 18 years old and figured I’m never gonna listen to this, but it actually is not that bad

it’s a decent album. It’s just not something I would seek out regularly to Again

first song in and I love this already. This is gonna be good.

This is pretty cool, its aged well

Great performance

People like this?

Fun

Pretty cool

Eh..

If you’re gonna make a list of 1001 greatest albums of all time you’re gonna have to include a bunch of filler stuff and this feels like filler to me it’s OK, not spectacular

Very Ramons esque. Dig it

Love this album. Total nostalgia

The older I get I realize how much my taste has changed. I remember loving this album, still some bangers but only a couple

This one's great

Loved it!

Pretty good

Not for me

The name “Led Zeppelin” on its own is worth a star, but this album bangs!

Pretty pretty pretty good..

Some classics, social commentary still relevant

Feels dated, feels like honey is a classic though
