1001 Albums Summary

one of the best 80s alternative albums imo

absolutely stunning album

kraftwerk have better in my opinion but this is pretty good

i mean it’s fineeeee but there’s better albums from the fall out there

god damn

a lot better than i remember holy cow

i was not expecting to be such a fan of this album dang

goofy. dinky. fun music. thank you beefheart

basically a stand up comedy set with a jazz-y blues backing. pretty fun, definitely a bit long though

classic album. i think the stuff in the american series is his best work, though.

big fan of tim buckley but this one is infamously Not it, man

makes me wanna check out even more big star

one of those albums that’s so good that i don’t even need to say anything about it

very fun and eclectic alt rock shenanigans. a good time

holy peak

just some great laid back jazz stuff. everyone performs well and the vibes are amazing. good shit

shocking: this album is really good

forgot how good bob dylan was in the 90s

this is awesome and i think everyone who disagrees is lame

very compositionally interesting. not bjork’s best, but a very neat album.

their best album by far. yes better than funeral. this is what i wish that album was, tbh

so much better than i remembered. dated but still aged like fine wine, somehow

very catchy new wave. this guy is very horny but damn he can write a good song

yeah it’s pretty awesome

clapton has some good albums, even though i think he’s insanely overrated as a guitarist. this is Not one of those albums. not really all that interesting imo

there’s something about 80s soul music that hits hard for me and idk why

sometimes the best outkast album

lion and the cobra is better, this is still quite great though imo

pretty good

not the best from the pixies (it’s still pretty damn good though)

“oh this is just gonna be one of those albums that i’ll listen to once and never think about again” *listens to it* “what the fuck

britpop that does the job well. nothing mindblowing but i don’t have any super negative thoughts about it

awesome noodling

i fucking love 70s soul!!!

not their best this is a really good house album

wacky but very fun

the most ehh album from this band

sorry billy corgan but you can’t make me hate your own band

kickass as fuck

the instrumental tracks are far better than the tracks with vocals but still. very fun ost

their 4th worse album (it’s still really great)

simultaneously insanely freaky and one of tom waits’s most vulnerable albums

was shocked to learn that this dude was not 50 when he recorded this album. good shit though

a classic for a reason

this is the music that your grandpa probably got dangerously high on acid to

one of the best voices out there

Man

very polished indie pop that doesn’t do anything crazy, but doesn’t do anything really bad. not fully my thing, i think jamie xx’s solo work is much better than this, but still, pretty damn good

pretty awesome atmospheric rnb stuff, nothing crazy, but very good

i mean it’s fine

the amount of energy everyone has on this album is insane

he has better but it’s still jimi hendrix. like of course it’s great

very good and amazingly produced christmas music. a bit inconsistent though

an aggressively 60s album. nothing special outside of the title track, that song fucking slaps, but everything else is just kinda fine lol

the best dad rock to ever dad rock. catchy as hell, great instrumentation. absurdly cheesy, but very charming.

good disco

this album starts off as wacky fun time and then ends with one of the most fucked up songs ive ever heard, great album

probably the most well composed block of cheese of all time

i’m asexual but like i get it

pretty good

there was a period of time where i thought this was overrated and i can’t believe that was the case

album so well composed i want it injected in my veins

good instrumentals, i don’t like morrissey's songwriting here as much compared to the stuff with the smiths tho lol

it’s like if the sex pistols didn’t suck dick

it’s radiohead, it’s good. yahoo

awesome guitar work as usual, but this band definitely has like 2 albums better than this and there’s some songs on this i already forgot lmao

yeah

very catchy and fun 90s rnb. that’s all i gotta say. it’s good lol

i wish this album was just kashmir on loop for 90 minutes. it unfortunately isn’t that and other songs on the album exist

this shit is just so beautiful that’s all i have to say about it

this sounds like the music that plays in my head whenever i zone out

hell yeah man

album so good that it feels like they injected cocaine into it

super mid

chamber pop and alt-country are genres i love on their own and they sound amazing when they’re combined here

top 20 album of all time

i like it when she does an ella fitzgerald impersonation that was very funny. very soothing album, would recommend

very pretty album, makes you feel like the album cover. better shoegaze out there (hell, better shoegaze for this band), but still

this is peak and if you disagree you are no fun

how do you play a piano like that

rocks hard, nothing special but it’s pretty fun

allman brothers band better but this still has some good tunes on it

i don’t got much to say this is just a very pretty album

hehe drug. these guys are actually pretty great at rapping though

i can see why some may find this boring. but i’m too nick drake-pilled to find this boring. this is awesome to me

it is a stevie wonder album. i am legally obligated to give it this score

fucked up late 2000s club music basically lol

nothing crazy good but very unique. you can very much tell these dudes were all in minutemen

wow this was a lot sadder than i was expecting it to be

i’m too much of a dork to like this

i felt like i was being personally attacked whenever this man said a word

this man can fucking rap damn

yeehaw cowboy outlaw sheriff !!! good lyrics on this one

pleasantly surprised, this kicks a lot of ass

there’s a bone in my body that loves 50s traditional pop stuff and this hits that bone like a metal pipe

still insane to me that this came out in the late 80s

good funk. i mean it’s hard to make funk music that’s bad so lol

very chill but also not anything crazy great

this sure is a 90s alt rock album. a pretty solid one too. but nothing crazy

has aged funny due to how much hip hop has progressed, but for what it is, this is a great time

winner of the least serious album ever award. these guys can fucking play though, riffs and solos for days on this

not as great as back to black, but it’s still amy winehouse and amy winehouse's music is great so

Jeez this album is fuckin depressing

yeah of course this one’s good

a bunch of good chill tunes

oh so that’s why people like elvis

super fun and awesome guitar work. good shit

album so good that it makes an entire country mad

their best album probably

it’s to pimp a butterfly man what do you want me to say

it’s prince

super drugged out post-hardcore, feels like the musical equivalent of waking up from a 4 hour long nap where it results in you fucking up your sense of time for the rest of the day

why is a song called “hot burrito #1” so damn sad

just some fun tunes man

progressive dentist office music

just some absolutely awesome stuff

absolute pop cheese. hasn’t aged well, but is kinda fun if you take it as unserious as possible.

funky beats and great samples. what’s not to love?

i don’t think i’ve ever listened to an album as inconsistent as this one

this is way too long but it has some good stuff on it

fast car might be the best song ever made. the rest is really damn great too

jay z is a shithead and kanye is a shithead, but jay z was a good rapper at the time and kanye was a good producer at the time so. whoops

the most immaculately 80s pop album ever

dark fantasy twink music

i liked it when they sampled the song

good punk shit. that’s all i rlly gotta say

out of all the 60s rock albums out there, this one is probably my favorite. absolutely stunning album

fun dinky synthpop tunes

hey remember when kanye was a good person? i was Not born yet. anyways this album is really good

good country but why does some of this album have the most 80s synths ever???

it’s aight

first album from these guys that i’ve heard, absolute banger

b tier country, nothing crazy but at least it’s better than morgan wallen

ok i actually fw this one a lot more than back in black

these gals fuckin rock

me when the rock progs or something

it’s bruce springsteen. it’s pretty good. woohoo

absolute jam of an album

amazing album, some of the most raw grunge shit i’ve ever heard

despite the title having “sex” in it, they should rlly talk about it less bc they’re not very good at it. good beats though

it’s pretty good

a little bit too meandering for my tastes

nice chill music. doesn’t do anything crazy though and very much fades in the background lol

little bit too long but god damn van morrison goes hard here, so insanely energetic and fun

i like some old people music but this isn’t rlly the type of old people music i’m really into lol

this is the shit

one of the most kickass albums ever

amazing singles, the rest is pretty good i guess lol

nice melancholic indie stuff, good time

not a huge fan of this band overall, but there are some absolute bangers on this thing

a bit repetitive but really damn fun

i relate to this album too much

yeah this kinda stuff just ain’t rlly my thing lol

weird angular bops, big fan

absolute classic for a goddamn reason

there’s something very sad about this album to me ngl, hits real hard emotionally. amazing stuff

funny banana anyways this album is fuckin great

these guys can fuckin jam

jazz music for both the theory nerds and for your grandma

way too long but it fucking slaps, stellar space-y heavy psych rock

this is the good yeehaw music, stellar stuff

mid

best single run for any album ever, the rest of the album is great but those singles man holy fuck

it’s bob dylan, it’s good, wahoo

best album from this band, extremely cheesy i fucking love it

it’s queen, it’s good. no way

oh this is the good shit

it’s 70s david bowie

good tunes on this

this guy can rap really well i just really wish he wasn’t rapping about you know. all of this stuff lol

this album flip flops between paid in full by eric b & rakim for my fav 80s rap album, stellar shit right here

good stuff, but feels a lil dated for something made in 1991 lol

it is what’s going on by marvin gaye

somehow haven’t listened to this until now. how haven’t i gotten to this sooner

she’s so awesome. not her best but this is rlly great

what else is there to say about this album?

this is good but also i can see why a bunch of people here hate it lmao

standard new wave album that’s rlly fun and has some kinda crazy lyrics for the late 70s lol

oh hell yeah, this is just so damn fun. absolutely classic shit right here

unsurprisingly ray charles is a very good musician

me when the moog

lauryn hill carried this but it’s still pretty solid lol

this album might grow on me a lot but yeah this is rlly damn good

very great and catchy new wave tunes, give it a listen

yes. this is the good stuff. big fan of this

very pleasant, but also not something i would listen to that often

it’s a talking heads album so like. of course it’s good

freaky goth music. i approve

this is pretty damn good but it also kinda feels like grandma lake house music to me. not a diss or a compliment it just has that very specific vibe to it

me after the slightest inconvenience

great tunes. can see why this band was hot shit in the 2000s

its early beatles stuff. fun, but isn’t gonna impress anyone in existence anymore lol

this album would be a 5 if it was just the title track. the other songs on it ain’t the best tho. also ik some people who would knock this down bc this basically being ayn rand fanfiction but i wont do that even though that also makes the album a bit worse lmao

some nice 60s folk rock. don’t got much to add outside of that

some super fun classic 70s glam with a vocalist who's going fucking ham most of the time and brian eno making some funny noises with a synth every once in a while

pretty decent album, but why is this on here? not saying it because i don’t like it, slipknot are definitely one of the best nu metal bands out there. it’s just this album seems so out of place against all the other albums included in this book lmao

this fucking rocks and it is also insanely catchy. that’s all i rlly gotta say lol

it’s very impressive how some of it just sounds like 80s synthpop but with all the synths replaced with guitars lmao

i like this more than you’d expect of me. pretty good stuff, not anything crazy but still pretty fun

pretty good. definitely better metal out there but still it’s definitely not a bad album, just nothing i find crazy good nowadays

quite goofy but really fun

probably the last album from this band that i would call great since their quality has been wehhhh ever since lolol

shockingly raw and glamorous for britpop, which is like the least raw and glamorous genre out there lmao

music for walking on the beach at 7 PM

really great stuff, usually singer songwriter albums can have the issue of having some average instrumentation, but that is not the case here. big fan of this album bc of that.

not as fucked up as i was expecting but i still wouldn’t admit that i listen to this to anyone outside the nerdiest music enjoyers ever

first paul simon solo album, unsurprisingly it’s rlly damn good lol

i feel like this is who adele was basing her entire career off

quite good! a little bit too laid back for my taste, but it’s quite a good time.

more yeehaw than i would expect from a californian band. pretty solid

it’s good-ish. some songs on here are much better than others but some are just kinda forgettable. it’s not good enough for me to give it a 4, but not meh enough for me to give it a 3 (this website rlly should add half star options huh), but since i think it’s more good than meh, it’s getting a 4

very good 90s power pop, big fan of this.

alright album that happens to have the worst album title ever. idk why i hate it so much but i do. it’s so bad.

absolutely beautiful stuff right here.

idk how to describe this album musically but i do know that it is rlly fucking good

weird shit. but i like it

not my fav album from them, but still really really great stuff on here.

it’s a stevie wonder album

pretty solid pop stuff. a little carried by the singles though

an album with some perfect songs on it but it ultimately suffers from Being Too Fucking Long. but those great songs on here make it good enough for a 4/5

not stevie wonder’s best but it’s a stevie wonder album so y’know. it’s still really good

first time listening to something from this group, really dark and gloomy synthpop that hits the spot just right. incredible stuff

post punk is fucking awesome

this guy does not miss

please spare me morrissey

bruce springsteen good. does suffer from some 80s cheese though and not the kind i’m a fan of lol

unsurprisingly this album is really good

yeah no

not their best but still rlly good

not a big U2 fan but this one ain’t so bad

hell yeah

the most dad of rock to ever exist. side note i think i might have the music taste of a dad bc i fucking loved this

🚪(pretty good)

how does a band from the bay area yeehaw this hard

:(

my favorite album ever

rip ozzy

it’s disintegration

suffers from having that sucky 80s production that i don’t like but overall pretty damn great

yucky person. album is fine though
