More blues-y rock than I expected from Creedence Clearwater Revival. Good stuff.
Remarkably short album but it slaps. Almost every song is an iconic Van Halen song that has seen radio play for years. The only song I wasn't familiar with was "On Fire" which is incredibly good.
Influential and ahead of it's time. At times haunting, and ethereal rhythms combined with Lou Reeds harsh real world lyrics (Heroin) and Nico's glass like voice, this album is a banger. Fun fact, Andy Warhol was their manager at the time.
RIP Chris Cornell. One of the OG Grunge defining albums. Killer vocals and heavy bass/drums that don't let up the entire album.
RIP Bon Scott. Legend. Also possibly AC/DC's best album. Yes, I said possibly. I know you're reading this Jeff.
This album meanders from a few love struck songs to one feel good song and then repeats. Not all bad though.
Before I signed up for this project - "I bet these MF'ers are going to make me listen to Radiohead."
Today - "I fucking knew it!"
4 songs in - "Do I like Radiohead???"
End of the album - "Well shit."
That thumping bass and Chrissie Hynde's vocals. Yes, please. Great album.
Damn. Who hurt you, Adele?
Is this music? She's just yelling the same thing over and over the whole album.
The tension/fear is abundant in the first track The Wrong Side of Relaxation. Overall, the whole album felt like being in an old Hollywood movie. Especially with the culmination boss fight heavy track The Man with the Golden Arm at the end.
Some really good stuff here. The switch from a 20 minutes long "Do Your Thing" to the "The End Theme" at 2 minutes gave me a little whiplash.
Subpar for Fleetwood Mac. I feel like they haven't matured or evolved beyond where they were 30 years ago and it shows.
Not a huge fan of reggae but part of the reason for doing this project is to expose yourself to new and other music. Surprisingly liked this but doubt I'd put it on very often.
Is he singing or moaning? WTF am I listing to? This is torturous. Gonna rate this shit 1 star
I had no idea who Gene Clark was before listening to this. But he reminds me a lot of Townes Van Zandt. Similar vibe/music.
Old school whiskey drinking drown your sorrows type rock. Made me feel like divorcing my wife all over again. And I'm not even married. So naturally, I like it.
Peak millennial vibes here as I jammed out doing laundry.
Well this album kicks ass. 3 stars
Does all Def Leppard sound the same? Yes. Yes, it does.
Nothing wrong with TayTay
A few bangers. Solid Album.
This album was only 5 songs / 22 minutes. And it felt like an eternity. I did like the anti facist message though.
I dig it. A little pulpy, a little poppy.
This album will put your ass to sleep
Solid album. Could see myself getting more into this band
Solid album that I’ve liked and listened to before. Love me some Lou Reed
Was surprised by how much I liked this album as it’s not in my typical wheelhouse. Very great
Couldn’t even make it through Disc 1
I listened to this album so damn much in High School. Tuesday’s Gone is still one of my favorite songs.
Wu-Tang ain’t no one to fuck with
Sounds like glam hip hop. Like Lin-Manuel Miranda created a rap persona. Hot garbage
Sounds like glam hip hop. Like Lin-Manuel Miranda created a rap persona. Hot garbage
Great jam album but can get repetitive
Blues. Okay, got it. Decent but yeah
Solid album I could see myself listening to again
Good album even if it’s not something I’d normally pick
This was terrible. I suffered through 5 songs before I gave up though. Hot garbage!
Makes me want to sit on my deck with a whiskey and cry as the sun sets
Coldplay wannabes. And Coldplay isn’t even good anymore
God damn. I hate The Beach Boys. I get why some people like them but it all sounds like overly polished whiny as shit beach rock to me. Musically it’s a fine album but I just hate The Beach Boys
Solid album with a few well loved hits on it.
Some of The Rolling Stones best work. “Dead Flowers” and “Moonlight Mile” will bring anyone down but in a good way.
What hot garbage is this? How did it even make it on this list? What in sweet fuck is this even supposed to be?
I thought I liked Crowded House. Until I heard this album
Talk about an album cover! Hot garbage of an album though. I think the only person that liked it was Jeff
Great album. But holy shit, if you’re already stressed about something this will crank it up. 😆
This is terrible and I hated every second of it. In fact, the one song I’ve heard previously and thought was okay I now hate. This album blows
I made love to this album. To clarify, I didn’t make love listening to this album but to an actual physical copy. I didn’t have a choice.
Loved this album. Still giving a 2 though.... Kidding
Say what you will about John Lennon but the guy was a hell of a musician. Solid album
Funky. I dig it Sounds a bit like old Blue Oyster Cult. Especially “Friction.” Listened to the album 5 times
Holy fucking tap dancing Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! Do all Elvis Costello songs sound the same?
Nice. Not thrilling, but nice
Cool. I wanted to listen to an album that made me feel like I was in a Pixar movie. Decent though
Hot garbage! I had to turn it off. I fucking hate this guy
So apparently I like Goldfrapp. Huh.
Another fucking U2 album already. Fantastic. Why do I feel like U2 is one of those bands the music industry really tried to convince we like more we do. Maybe it’s because I once bought an iPhone with a U2 album already loaded onto it. Fucking hell!
This isn’t for me but I get it
This was an album. Not bad
Honestly, this album slaps. I always forget what a killer voice/presence Janis was.
Budget Neil Diamond with a splash of racism here and there.
Not bad. Sinéad got a bad rap
Garbage. I didn’t make it past song 5
This album kicks so much ass and it’s not even their best. Incident lay, think this may be the first in the list that I have the vinyl on.
Well. That was definitely a Bjork album
Decent. Not great but decent
Dang. Dusty was after it.
Love me some Black Sabbath
The Beatles just out here doing there thing. All hits all the way through.
12 tracks at 25 minutes. From the time when they speed run songs… still, it’s Buddy Holly though. And fun.
This was awful. I listened to almost the whole thing but had to give up. Just some moaning that’s supposed to be singing. 1 star
Apparently I enjoy the Butthole Surfers. The band! Don’t be lewd.
I fucking love The Flaming Lips. Need to listen to more of them. Great album.
Not their best. Definitely on their sappier teen pop love albums. But still great
Would I ever put this album on on my own? No. Am I glad it came up in this list? Yes. MJ was a legend for a reason
They don’t call him The Boss for nothing. Love this album.
Good instrumental background music. Feels like a 70’s police procedural
Great and iconic 90’s album.
This is not conducive to being able to think and listen at the same time. Made it 3 songs before turning it off
Alright, fine. Jeff you win. Rush kicks ass. Listened multiple times. 5 stars.
I’ve long deposed The Beach Boys but it’s only because I’m only familiar with their earlier work. This is a darker more mature band that should be taken seriously. “Student Demonstration Time” was a particularly powerful snapshot considering the current unrest in LA and a stark reminder that some things take decades to change for the better.
Decent. But holy shit does every song sound the same.
Fucking love me some John Prine
Timeless iconic OG Willie Nelson. Nothing better. This is one of Willie’s best albums. One of my earliest memories is of my dad turning on some Willie Nelson (or Johnny Cash) and dancing in the front room.
Isn’t this the band “Autobahn?”
Made me feel like I was in middle school all over again. Fucking excellent album.
Great album from one of the OG punk bands
Don't want to be a MAGA idiot.
See? This is the exact reason I think this list is less a “1000 Albums you should listen to” and more of a “1000 Albums we randomly plucked out of the ether” list.
No one should be listening to this album that isn’t a middle aged woman who grew up listening to it and just wants a little nostalgia.
I listened to 4-5 tracks and believe I’m entitled to monetary compensation. Thank you and good day.
All early Clapton albums were him trying to get laid. Still good though.
Terrific album. Peak Elton John
Oh neat. More whiny emo music
Not too bad actually for newer country.
I always forget how much I like Stevie Wonder until digging into one of albums. Legend.
This is an album. Not my usual style or speed but she does have a great voice.
RIP Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness. He’s biting heads off bats at that great gig in the sky. Also, what an album. NIB and The Wizard kick just as much ass today as they did when I was in high school.
First thought on seeing this before I listen while working “oh that’s gonna be rough”
1 song in “oh shit. I guess I like Fun Loving Criminals.”
Surprisingly decent. But not great
I can see why some people love Kate Bush. I’m not one of those people. Good lord, I had to turn this off 4 songs in
The coffee wasn’t helping this hangover. But this fucking Motörhead album certainly did. Fuck yeah!
Baller as always. Great Bowie album
Jesus fuck. That’s awful. I had the Rona while listening to this shit and this album is still the worse thing to happen to me this week.
Say what you will about Snoop but the man is an artist. Great album. Even if he's a fucking sellout.
Phenomenal album. However, I realize I can’t listen to Violent Femmes if I’m stressed or in a bad mood.
The year was 1998. For a brief moment, Joey wore all black and baggy pants. But that lasted only for a few days. Still listened to this album and other Korn albums a ton over the next few years. I can jam to it on occasion.
An album so good you have to listen to it again immediately when it ends.
Amazing voice and solid album
Nice little live album. Goodness gracious
Very Flock of Seagulls esque.
Every time I try to give Elvis Costello another chance, I’m reminded that all his shitty songs sound the same and his voice sucks.
Hands down one of the best fucking albums ever made. To this day I still can't manage to only listen to it one time through.
Man, wtf even is this shit?
Surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this album. Mostly because I tend to skip whenever Jane’s Addiction comes on
This was an uncalled for assault on my ear drums
Great album and performance. Makes me wish I knew French though.
An album so good I couldn’t just listen once. I always forget how much more bluesy Dire Straights are than what you hear on the radio
One of my favorite Metallica albums. I still will turn it on loud when I need to get shit done
Weird ambient but not really ambient music. Do not like
Liked some, disliked others
I ain’t listening to this Nazi loving piece is shit
The break out album for The White Stripes/Jack White. Incredible talent on an incredible album. Can’t just listen to it once
Great album. I never rocked out a PowerPoint in my stupid little cubicle so fast
Pretty great chill album to have in the background
How the fuck is this even on here? 3 songs in and I’m checking to see if the album is over yet. I somehow made it to 7 songs and regretted every second of it. Fuck this
Solid 90’s nostalgia album
Having never heard of this and, I was exactly two songs in before I went “Hey! That’s Bjork!” And had to confirm on their Wiki. Interestingly enough, Rolling Stone called them the biggest thing to come out of Iceland. Fun little album.
Great album. Even if he’s a total asshole in real life
Great album. Even if it’s the fucking Eagles, man!
Phenomenal album. Especially when you realize “Shine on you crazy diamond” was the band expressing their loss at the eventual forcing out of Syd Barrett due to his diminished mental faculties and substance abuse. Reading the back story about how they hadn’t seen him in two years and didn’t recognize him when he showed up during its recording is heartbreaking.
Sabotage will forever be a millennial anthem.
Okay. Lots of piano. I get it. And I like the piano. I even tried learning at one point. But that’s too much.
MF’ers out here sounding like the Matrix Soundtrack
Awesome album and great Wiki article on it as well.
Pretty solid Little Rock and roll bluesy album. Back when Steve Winwood was good.
Great. Another whiny Radiohead album. I wish I could give it less stars
Oddly poignant and soulful album by Beck. Fantastic
Funky 70’s rock. I dig it
TIL: I weirdly like Luis Prima. Huh. Also the voice of King Louie in the original Jungle Book!
Delightfully weird as always, Velvet Underground
Sigh. More Bob Marley… okay though
This is a great album. I always forget how much I like Neil Young’s solo work.
This is definitely an album. A little frantic.
A second Kings of Leon album? Really. Here’s hoping it’s not as shitty as the last one.
Well shit. This one is actually decent
