1001 Albums Summary

An absolute favorite. Both in music and cover art.

Chaotic to say the least!

Calming. A good one to re-visit during the dregs of winter when I need a transport.

Super fun. Reminded me of something that a Martin Scorsese soundtrack would introduce me to.

Guttural, dance-y and fun. Makes me want a cold beer and a summer day.

Really enjoyed this. Felt like a "Pretty in Pink" 80s time capsule.

Moodier than what I wanted today, but vibe-y and fun. And dig the Bauhaus-y album art.

Experimental and clang-y.

Here for the pop hits, not the slow ballads.

Trippier than I expected. I enjoyed the spoken word portion.

A tried and true favorite. Brings back all the college memories. Bought this on CD at WalMart on a whim.

Not really my vibe, but interesting!

Wild!

I love every Beatles album forever and ever.

Felt on-brand for them, but not my fave.

Was Green Day a bonafide rock band and I didn't really notice it?! "American Idiot" still holds and is relevant as ever. I didn't remember that "Holiday" and "Boulevard of broken dreams" flowed right into each other. Cool.

Way more fun and dance-y than I anticipated. Really enjoyed.

"Once in a Lifetime" is the first song I remember loving as a kid. This one will always have a special place.

Fun!

Who doesn't love some Beach Boys? Especially during "in-between-mas." This one has one of my favorites: "Do you wanna dance?" I also love "Dance, dance, dance."

A super fun listen. Makes me wish I was riding in a convertible somewhere sunny on the west coast.

Nostalgic for me.

Groovy and bluesy and fun.

Noisy, clangy and fun.

Love the album. Phil Spector, not so much. Felt appropriate to listen to this while taking down Christmas decorations.

Not my favorite, but trippy and fun.

Definitely feels like an early 90s time capsule. "Mysterious Ways" will always be a favorite.

A couple of grooves, but not really my kinda honky tonk.

Okay this was an immediate love. So fun. Filing this away for repeat listening. Also love the album art.

Fairly certain the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will always be a 5/5 for me.

I can see why this one is on the list. A very groovy listen.

Well-suited for an early January day.

Another appropriate early January listen.

Needed on a blue day.

Perfect for a snowy chore day.

A definite rock-n-roll album. Another nostalgic one. I remember this one being on repeat on CD growing up.

Another immediate love. Excited to put this on repeat.

Kinda cracked me up at some parts. Enjoyed way more than expected. Kinda captured my mood for the day, too.

Enjoyed this. Reminded me a bit of some of the jazz in the Andy Griffith Show?

Not my fave Stevie album, but love Stevie. And "Don't you worry 'bout a thing" is one of my favorites.

Can't say I gave this one a fair listen. It was more background music. But I enjoyed the overall vibes and the songs I recognized.

Poppy, bubbly and fun. Would make a great house party soundtrack.

I 100% confused Savage Garden with Soundgarden and did not expect this to be grunge. Lol

Love.

Vibes on vibes on vibes. "Super Rich Kids" and "Forrest Gump" are favorites.

Almost reminds me of early Alt J?! Dig.

Trippy!

Nina!

Didn't make it through the whole thing, but definitely an enjoyable listen.

Admittedly don't love a two disc set. Too long! :P But love some Van.

Not my vibe.

What I needed yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Love. Forgot about "beat on the brat."

Completely exceeded expectations. Especially enjoyed the first couple of tracks and the last track. Why don't we talk about The Pretenders more?

Ended up enjoying this way more than anticipated—especially the electric tracks. I'd probably give it a 3.5, but rounding up. :)

Loved. Added "Killing me softly" to my liked songs.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Excited for a re-listen when I'm less distracted.

Ugh Kanye. But I enjoyed this listen and the album art.

A 10/10 good time.

Chill and pleasant.

Really liked it at the beginning, but not so much as it went on. Kinda torn on rating.

More experimental than I expected. Or maybe I just had Big Ears on the brain. Def felt like a time capsule from a bygone era.

Chaotic and trippy and fun.

Not my fave Bowie.

Fun vibes. Especially like “Eye Know.”

R.E.M. is one of the GOATs.

A VIBE!

I'll probably always wish I liked Pearl Jam more. But a fun time capsule that makes me feel nostalgic.

Love the byrds and their sturdiness.

Great album cover and great tracks for Saturday chores.

Always feel that The Strokes are one-note and overrated. This full album made for some decent background music while working in the car shop waiting room.

Not my vibe, unfortunately. Would be fun for background music at an outdoor bistro, though.

Always love some Bob. And loved how bluesy this album felt.

A very enjoyable listen for work this morning.

This one really drew me in. Excited for a re-listen sometime.

Glad this got me to listen to some deeper cuts beyond the greatest hits I've mostly heard.

Not my favorite of theirs, but love The White Stripes.

Really enjoyed getting to hear their distinctive voices as artists.

Good background music for a rainy Saturday night.

Mostly giving this a 4 because of "Policy of Truth" and "Personal Jesus."

Going to California and When the Levee Breaks are two all-time faves.

Definitely a few things on here I want to replay. Fun vibes and reminded me of 90s soundtracks like “10 Things I Hate About You.”

A moody vibe!

A pretty nonstop groove sesh.

A ride!

A fun ride. I really enjoyed the interspersed clips that made it feel like you were listening to an old-school radio station.

Love. "Life During Wartime" is a favorite, but I also really enjoyed "Memories Can't Wait."

The combination of nostalgia mixed with his undeniable artistic genius made this a 5/5 for me.

Enjoyed the listen. Added "Long Promised Road" to my liked songs. Also wild to listen to "Student Demonstration" as a song from 1971 with all of the parallel turmoil of today.

Favorite Dylan album yet?!

A pleasant, chill listen. Always love their sound.

Mood: check. Vibes: check. Felt like being in Pretty in Pink.

Definitely the chill vibes I wanted today.

The Police just aren't my jaaaam for the most part. I did enjoy unpolished vibe of "On Any Other Day."

Thoroughly enjoyed. Also loved that there were softer moments to balance out the whole vibe.

Ended up enjoying this so much more than expected.

Just not my kinda rock, to be honest.

This was an album that grew on me while I listened to it. I saved "Normal Girl," "Broken Clocks" and "Prom." I'd rate it 3.5 so I'm rounding up. :)

I am sad to say this is simply not my jam.

Definitely the chill vibes I needed today.

Enjoyed this more than I expected. It was a ride and felt like being at a really creative concert.

Reminded me so much of college, early heartache and singing in the car. I liked "Turning Tables" and "Don't You Remember" less this time around. And I liked "One and Only" more this time around.

Hella fun.

Just hella fun!

Admittedly not my favorite Elvis.

Overall felt one-note to me. Feels like we needed more songs like "All by Myself" to break up the tone. The album name is hilarious. And I somehow didn't know they were recording starting all the way back in '91.

This one immediately grabbed my attention. There were also a few songs that shuffled on after the album that I enjoyed.

Didn't stand out to me as much as the other Kanye album I've listened to on this list.

Not my fave overall, but great chill background vibes. Would give another listen.

Love.

Love some Duran Duran.

As much as I've tried, Muse has never really been my vibe. Whiny and boring IMHO.

Always love some CCR.

Dug this.

Dug this more than I anticipated.

Ended up enjoying this more than I expected after the first song. Certain moments made me feel like I was riding in a rainy day cab in NYC in the 1970s.

Perfect. Because of course.

Trippy and vibey!

Perfect. Of course.

Always fun. Gets me excited for summer.

Enjoyable, upbeat background music for today.

A delight.

Enjoyed! Recognized a couple of songs.

Fun energy and delightfully silly.

Two songs and still impact. Pretty impressive.

A treat to listen to a full Dolly album. Listened while vacuuming my shag rug.

Not my favorite Neil, but always love Neil.
