1001 Albums Summary

Sorry but I just don't get his music. Most of the songs on this album are repetitive and a little boring. The only one I liked is Where it's at.

This album is energetic. Masekela's playing is lyrical and emotive and the band offers a dynamic canvas for Masekela to work with.

A interesting and enjoyable sonic experience that layers electronic music with vocals, guitar and percussion.

An enjoyable listening experience!!

This high energy album reminded me that you can still rock during a time boring techno dance music.

This will probably be against prevailing opinion but this is my least favorite Police album. Except for the tracks "King of Pain" and "Wrapped Around Your Finger" this should not have been a best selling album. Plus the one song that should creep everyone, "Every Breath You Take", which is hilariously as a romantic song for weddings. The rest are a miss mash of different styles that gives Gordon Sumner (aka Sting) a pretentious and arrogant vibe.

I am not a fan of club music but MJ Cole's album is interesting although it becomes a bit too repetitive.

A great album!!! I don't know why I got me thinking about why I stopped listening to reggae but this has helped remind me to put it back into my playlist rotation.

An excellent album containing a variety of Afro-rhythms which the band combines in a highly effective way with Byrne's lyrics.

A very good album with some of the best songs ever written such "Sweet Baby James", "Fire and Rain" and "Country Road".

An excellent album with songs that are timeless.

I have never listened to Einstürzende Neubauten before nor have I ever paid attention to industrial punk or new wave music before. I don't need to listen to it again.

A classic that influenced many artists since. Stax Records was were it was at.

The musical style is both familiar and unusual at the same time. The lyrics are quirky and amusing like "John Wayne Gacy, Jr."

Definitely a piece of late 1960's psychedelia. Thankfully I will never have to listen to it again.

I am generally not a hip hop fan but I enjoyed this album a lot!!

Although I have always enjoyed Stevie Wonder's music I have never listened to any of his albums. I appreciate that it was placed on this list. Great Album.

A well produced album but I'm not a fan of the music.

Not a fan of electro dance music. Boring.

Well produce but kind of boring.

A classic!!

The music is very dated.

Well done production but boring and repetitive.

Interesting lyrics but his voice lacks emotion.

A great recording. I was never into the Black Keys although I have had heard of them. I wasn't aware that this album was their breakthrough. All of the songs are good and "Everlasting Light" "Tighten Up" are stand outs.

A well produced and performed album.

Interesting without being overly repetitive. Good production.

A well produced album and a good listen.

A rocking good time and although their music can get too monotonous “Epic” is a classic anthem.

Delusional and repetitive electronic dance music that becomes noise pollution.

Good album but none of the songs are memorable.

A definitive Kinks album well produced and performed. The only issue for was that none of the songs stood out and there was nothing impress the listener.

A Rock n Roll classic!! The first four songs are some of the best southern rock songs every produced "I Ain't the One", "Tuesday's Gone", "Gimme Three Steps"and "Simple Man"; then hhey hit it out of the ballpark with, "Free BIrd", their eighth and last track.

Natty Dread shows what Marley could do without Bunny Wailer or Peter Tosh. "No Woman, No Cry" is one of my favorite Marley tunes.

One of my all time favorite albums by one of my favorite artists. This album is one of the first vinyl records I ever purchased and it brings back good memories when I listen to it. When I was a teenager we were having family visit and my grandmother was at our home and I was listening to this in our living room. I saw my aunt and uncle drive up to our house and I made the comment that I better shut off the music and my 74 year old grandmother replied, "Don't shut that off! I like this music!" No better praise can be made.

This album shows how strong of a live act The Who was.

A great album by one of my favorite bands

Great album that shows how Bowie could bridge the style of glam rock to a more bluesy and soulful record. Great tunes like "Young Americans" and "Fame" with an interesting version of the Beatles "Across the Universe"

Listening to this album helped with my insomnia.

A great way to hear the beginning of Heavy Metal.

An electronic exploration. Don’t need to listen to it again

A Christmas Treasure! Giving it 4 stars because of Spector's commentary at the end. I kept thinking about him going to prison for murdering a woman. Not a very Christmasy ending.

Well done album. I wish I had heard them before but unfortunately US radio is to Americentric.

An excellent debut album. Psycho Killer is one of their best songs.

Didn't need to listen because I have listened to this more times than I can count. Great record!!

An innovative prog pop/rock album.

Another excellent recording

Well produced but I find the use of looped tracks a tad bit repetitive.

A classic.

Boring, repetitive and pretentious.

An excellent example of psychedelic music transforming into progressive rock.

Soulful renditions of of blues, ballads and rock music

The first rock’n roll album to get to number 1!! Elvis is l/was the King

Entertaining and unusual Can's music on Future Days is not repetitive or boring.

The voice for a generation.

A example of 1960’s psychedelic rock. The song “Time of the Season” still rocks

A classic example of the Bakersfield sound.

An excellent example of a singer/songwriter’s creativity.

A Hip Hop tour de force.

A jazzy hip hop album.

This hard rock album still holds up and there isn't a bad song in the whole lot.

Prince had a good sound and his album was well produced. Just never got into his music.

Never was a Yes fan but I do realize their talent as musicians. This album has good production values and sound.

A great funk album.

A great introduction to the bossa nova style jazz.

Irritating. Gave my daughter a headache while we were listening.

A great band but none of these songs appeals to me.

An interesting sophmore solo effort for Lou Reed. Of course most are familiar with "Walk on the Wild Side" but for me "Perfect Day" is the standout song of the album.

A decent album and follow up to the wildly successful Rumours album.

A great introduction to Afrobeat.

An enjoyable listen.

Pretentious and boring

Excellent album.
