Yikes. I skipped almost every song on this album hoping that the next one would not suck, but was continually let down. There are so many albums that are probably not on this list that should be and this garbage made it?? Shame.

Smash
The Offspring
I don't think I've ever listened to this record straight through, so was excited for the opportunity. It did not disappoint (like the previous two records we had to slog through).
Highlights: the mention of "compact disc" on track 1, Genocide - what an absolute banger.
This is technically 4.5 stars because I really don't enjoy Dexter's voice but I appreciate how this record made music like this more accessible to the general public.

Underwater Moonlight
The Soft Boys
The first track on this album is a 5 (I Wanna Destroy You). I do think this band was probably the first of its kind to inspire music like Nada Surf / any kind of college indie - was a cool listen as I didn’t know these guys existed.

The Sun Rises In The East
Jeru The Damaja
Once again had no idea this dude existed - good listen.
The flow is a little slow / basic for me, but I get what this has probably done for the future of rap and it's a nice album to chill to in the morning.
Highlights include: "Da Bichez" and the chill overall vibe (Yo! MTV Raps, anyone?)

1st song is epic - so much to unpack. This really is a quintessential metal album: musically, it's all there - fast stuff, breakdowns, insane guitar work, legit (but maybe not great) vocals, group yells.

Joy Division
I was really hoping a Joy Division album would make it on here. This band really paved the way for a lot of bands and basically the whole post-punk/post-hardcore movement in the '80s. Very good album.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
The Incredible String Band
I don't think I'm on enough drugs to enjoy this in its full capacity...
Lyrics from 'A Very Cellular Song' (which is THIRTEEN MINUTES LONG, by the way): "Nebulous nearnesses cry to me at this timeless moment someone dear to me | Wants me near, makes me high, I can hear vibrations fly | through mangoes, pomegranates, and planes all the same | When it reaches me and teaches me to sigh" ............ wtf??
Is that a harpsichord??? A kazoo?? A recorder?? it does seem like everyone on the cover of this album is participating in the music here.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Okay the thumbnail of this album here and on the Apple Music site are different.... but similarly .... interesting. Kicking it off with "THE WORLD IS MY OYSTER" is a fun move, but like....what on Earth is this?
....shooting stars never stop, even when they reach the top, y'all.
WOAH - you have to listen to 13+ min of "welcome to the pleasuredome" before you get to have the realization that this is the RELAX...DON'T DO IT... band. hahaha. turning it around.

This is just bad. The lyrics are terrible (honestly how many times can one man say 'fuck' on a record? This gem did make me laugh, though: "If I say "fuck" two more times / That's forty-six "fuck"s in this fucked up rhyme"). The music is also very bad. I hope this record is on here just to let other people know what they should not sound like.

Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
This album is highlighting why I thought doing this whole 1001 albums thing would be fun/informative - e.g., Pastime Paradise - how have I never heard this song? Why is the only version I know of it sung by Coolio? Does anyone make original music anymore??? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Anyway, Sir Duke is probably #1 song of all time, don't @ me. The reason this is getting 4 stars and not 5 is because why on earth is this not only a 2xLP, but a 2xLP *with a bonus side*?? There are too many songs that I skipped that should not have been included on here to make it a 5. Sorry, Stevie. All the jams though, no doubt.

Jan 07 2025
After The Gold Rush
Neil Young
Listening to Neil Young sing is a bit like eating cilantro—it’s definitely not for everyone. His voice? A unique blend of a haunted harmonica and a yodeling ghost.
This is the second Neil Young album so far, and I have to ask: is 'no one sounds like him' supposed to be a compliment? Because I can confirm—no one should sound like him.
That said, I get it, kinda. The songs have heart, and the lyrics clearly mean something to him (though deciphering them can feel like a treasure hunt in an emotional minefield). Tracks like 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' made me pause, maybe even feel things. But then, the next track would pull me back into Neil’s falsetto vortex of existential whining.

I never got super into this band but always respected the direction they spearheaded with their indie-electro vibes. Neon Bible feels darker and more cinematic than their debut - there's a weight to it that sticks with you, even if it doesn't fully pull me in.

Live At The Witch Trials
The Fall
While I enjoy this band and the music, this album was waaaay too long. Guess you just pick the longest one (and 1st) when there are over 175 (!!!!) albums to choose from on Apple music alone.. Jesus! Also thank Christ this is not actually a live album. Phew.

This being described as "jazz rock" kind of surprised me, but I don't know a whole lot about Steely Dan. Good grooves. Short. Accessible. I understand how this album was the most commercially successful album by the group. Decent!

I listened to this three times and I’m still not totally sure how I feel about it. It’s bold, important, and clearly brilliant… but I think I appreciate it more than I enjoy it. This 4 is a 3.6.

I really want to like this band. Femme Fatale is a gem, for sure, but the rest of this really doesn't do anything for me. Iconic album cover, one that I'm sure everyone has seen...but that doesn't make me want to listen to this more than once.

I Am a Bird Now
Antony and the Johnsons
This guy's voice...is really awful to me? The first song was giving me anxiety. The rest of them did not improve my state (although the overall sound of Fistful of Love is pretty dope). The music is not bad, but I can't deal with the vocals at all.
2
Jun 06 2025
Sail Away
Randy Newman
If you said "have you ever heard of Randy Newman" I'd say "no", but as soon as this came on I knew this voice (distinctive, not anxiety inducing like Antony and the Johnsons (lol), and heard in apparently every Disney/Pixar movie on the planet). Respect to the songwriting; don't absolutely love this, though.

This was tough to get through. Every track feels like it belongs on Kevin Devine’s ‘Give It a Chance’ podcast - ooooof. Giving it one extra star for fully leaning into the redneck chaos.

Some really great songs on here. Not quite all the way to a 5, but super close

John Prine
John Prine
This was fine. Really liked "Pretty Good" and "Quiet Man". The description I read of this album (and John Prine) is that he was considered "America's next Dylan" and for the record I'd like to say that his voice and style is way better than Dylan's.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
Sinatra is a legend. Will say that a lot of the stuff on here had the same sound/vibe, but I don't hate it!

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West
Yeah, Kanye's basically canceled, but I enjoyed listening to this album...not gonna lie. Highlight for me was 'Monster' - shout out to Bon Iver!

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

I really liked the vibe on this. Different from the stuff I would gravitate towards, but still very good.

Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes
Another one of those indie bands I wondered why I “never got into” until I had to listen to this album… really boring. Not quite as boring as Band of Horses but is up there. Oof.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
Sinead O'Connor
I expected so much more from this for some reason. I'm partial to 'Black Boys on Mopeds' because Kevin Devine covered it at a show once *swoon*. Overall, pretty legendary record that I hope people don't listen to for Nothing Compares 2 U only.

This is the highest rating I will give to a live album. Muddy Waters is a legend!

Murder Ballads
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Not my vibe at all. So strange.

Dance Mania
Tito Puente
This is super chill and maybe the perfect thing to listen to while catching up on emails after just getting back from the Dominican Republic.

The xx
I never loved this band but recognize a lot of the songs. Pretty boring, but definitely different than a lot of things out there when this came out, so a little bit of respect for that.

Pacific Ocean Blue

I actually really liked a lot of stuff on here despite the absurd length of this. Would have been much more enjoyable without like 70% of the songs...

All That You Can't Leave Behind

Kind of hard to believe this album is 25 years old. A bunch of jams on here - I remember my ex making me go to so many of these shows....oof.

Appetite For Destruction

All the jams. A lot of fluff. Still a pretty iconic album.

Mr. Tambourine Man

How many Bob Dylan/The Byrds albums are on this thing. Oof. This is boring but not terrible for Bob Dylan?

Wonderful Rainbow
Lightning Bolt
Ok - got really excited when I opened this in Apple Music and the genre was "punk". This should be described as "noise" at best - but maybe that's not an option for categorizing music in that platform? Did not like.

This was ... fine? I have no idea why this album cover is sticking out to me so much - must have been a weird part of my childhood.

Hunky Dory
David Bowie
Every song on this record is pretty epic. David Bowie’s a magician who transforms music into emotional sorcery that cuts straight to the soul.
