1001 Albums Summary

Og Coldplay before they sold out, easy 5 stars. Top three songs 1. Don’t panic, 2. Yellow, 3. Sparks

John cale is such a fuckin weirdo I love him top three, 1. Paris 1919 2. Graham Greene 3. Hanky panky nohow

So much screeching, lots of bangers I didn’t even know I knew top 3 1. Tony’s theme 2. Gigantic 3. Where is my mind

Real electric noise garage blues rock… a very aptly name band. Also lots of screeching here too Top songs 1. Rocket ship 2. Fuck shit up 3. RL got soul

Production is really wild, opulent and experimental, no doubt Kanye is top tier musician, that said it feels like every song is 8 minutes long and they don’t all hit

What a fuckin classic… Michael stipe ruminating on all his sad boi feelings Top 3 songs: man on the moon, nightswimming, everybody hurts

Now that’s some proper 60’s psychedelia, I think these cats mighta played at Woodstock tbh

I wasn’t sure if I was gonna like this album, never been a big Green Day fan, but it was quite enjoyable. Lotsa punk energy and catchy pop melodies even if it’s a bit formulaic. Top songs. 1.basket case 2. Welcome to paradise 3. Burnout

Wild fake language mumbling and vibey post rock crescendos, could kinda listen to this all day

Uhhh idk why exactly I’m giving this 4 stars except that shawty obviously has like god tier vocal range… a few songs almost made me hard with how Disney they were

Super wild variety… crunchy metal riffs and then crooning and then funk, I feel like they had to be a major inspiration for RHCP Top 3 songs 1. War Pigs, what a fuckin awesome cover 2. The real thing 3. Zombie eaters

Holy shit this was awesome, tight, rippin, crunchy! Knew I was sleeping on Lemmy. Top 3 fast and loose, the hammer, ace of spades

The queen, there may never be a better soul album

I’m pretty sure Iggy pop is the shit… kinda punk, kinda David Bowie, kinda weird and original. Top 3 lust for life, passenger, fall in love with me

I really wanted to like this more than I did, I dig the psychedelia but it feels a little forced to me, some catchy pop riffs too. Top 3 I am the resurrection, waterfall, fools gold

Omg I need more abba in my life, I felt like I was in a silly movie for the whole hour I listened to this. Two for the price of one was ridiculous and hilarious

Not going to lie, this one kinda blurred together but it definitely a good listen, can’t really pick a top 3

Buncha weirdos in the 60s find about drugs… what do you expect? They dress up like flowers and make brilliant music of course. Top 3 fixing a hole, Mr Kite, day in the life

Now this was a pretty fascinating listen! Feels like prog rock moved into a house with 2010s indie rock. I’m a sucker for strange time signatures and these guys definitely fuckin delivered! Top 3 Bess st, river to consider, Drug

All the hits but also some good tracks I didn’t know so well, I’ve always kinda liked vedders silly voice plus the band can definitely rip! The guitar solo at the end of alive is actually one of my all time favorites. Top 3 Black, Porch, Alive

Hmmmm the music is absolutely impeccable… but I can help think of another album by Getz/Gilberto that is very similar but all the singing is in Portuguese and it’s definitely better. Still really solid but Frank should do us all a favor and learn Portuguese top 3. Girl from Ipanema, change partners, quiet nights of quiet stars

Got damn!!! Otis is such a baller and he crushes every single cover on the album, could listen to this all day! Top 3 a change is gonna come, shake, satisfaction

Good stuff, occasionally the crooning gets a little much for me but there’s also a ton of great harmony. Top 3 cripple creek ferry, southern man, birds

Hahaha I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one… all I was to do is have some fun is SUCH an earworm. Top 3 . Have some fun 2. Run baby run 3. Leaving las Vegas

Some bands just fucking nail it on the first album… this one is one of my all time favorites, Homme is one hell of a songwriter. Top 3. IDK man pretty much every song from front to back

Hahaha what a silly album. Sorry you went crazy Sid, at least you got an album on this list before that happened. Enjoyed the psychedelia more than I did years ago when I first found this album

Hahaha that was kinda dope, right on the cusp of the 80s music vibe. She’s giving crusty art music

Reminds me of Marcy playground in their sound, I dig it. A few misses but mostly real good tunes, Not ready Yet is a realllll earworm. Top 3. Not ready yet, Novocaine for the soul, your lucky day in Hell

Holy shit this was awesome! It’s a humongous album and there’s so many great riffs. Stevie knows how to build a song up good lord! Making an exception and doing top 5. Sir duke, I wish, ordinary pain, As, isn’t she lovely

Pretty much 2pac in his prime, albeit that was basically his whole short lived career. This shit is bumpin and full of messages, and introspection, and thematic layers…you can see why he was such an icon. Top 3. Old school, if I die 2nite, lord knows
