1001 Albums Summary

probably more a nostalgia 4, closer to a 3?

spotify auto play shuffled me into some other bowie, but i'm pretty sure i liked the songs from this one

Some nostalgic hits but too long and filled with meh songs otherwise

strange that there are 6 songs with 70m+ listens on spotify but i had only heard and really enjoyed the three lesser ones. Guess i'm just not Billy's target audience

Hard to not hear Chef

interesting and novel, but audio quality and the nature of it wasn't enjoyable

idk radiohead just isn't really for me

Still chef, but less distracting than the last album

For some reason black sabbath was one of the metal bands i didn't listen to as much of when i was young. Feels like a mistake

A few songs I recognized and enjoyed, but kinda meh otherwise

Vocals didn't really do it for me otherwise probably would be a 5. Could listen to steely dan jam all day

not always looking for ac/dc, but this album is loaded

Not everyone who did acid made good music

Blister in the sun is one of my favs but never listened to much else. Bass player was grooving most of this album

didn't mind the arrangements, but tswift lyrics are kinda weird, and not for me

nah

liked parts, but couldn't really get into it

really wanted to give it a 5, but decided to round down from a 9/10

The one classic song (solsbury hill) but i enjoyed most of the others too

Gives hope for all the vocally challenged artists, if you can also be effortlessly cool

can't agree that this is essential listening

i listened to a couple and they were fine, but i couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole thing

I think i've managed to like radio head less by listening to them more

Not all of these older albums hold up in my opinion, but I really liked the sound of this one

loud distorted blues? interesting though given its release date.

nothing wrong with it, but not my type of music. none of the singer-songwriters really are

i didn't like it nearly as much as the previous "school's out" which i listened to as a kid a lot

Classic hits and I mostly enjoyed the 'others' more than i might have initially expected. I will say some of the early techno sounds/tropes have not aged the best

Nice background music, but the extended version would go on too long

The lyrics to "A Fan's Mail": Meow, meow Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow Meow, meow Meow I wish I had nine lives I bet it feels real nice Sitting in the sun Letting the rains wash over me No one watching over me I do what I want Everybody wants to be a cat It's cool to be a cat Everything the light touches It's where I would roam My roar would be so powerful I would scare off everything Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow) Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow) Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow) Cool to be a cat Meow, meow Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow Meow, meow Meow, meow Meow, meow

Mostly enjoyed the sound, but nothing to really make it stick in my mind

Always gotta love Stevie. Good to listen to some that i'd passed over to skip to higher ground previously

not for me, though some were nice sections of early punk

could have died before hearing and been just fine

Idk if I ever listened to an ABBA album front to back despite liking them. Love their sound but some songs I would pass over on a relisten

I loved a lot of this, but it felt like 3/4ths were skits and flava flav rather than Chuck D rapping

I thought I liked Neil young more, but vocals and music were just meh

Good groove for the most part but meh sections

Good chance to be my favorite on the list, but I knew that beforehand...

Too far down the 'noises' path

Too long, and too many atmospheric meh songs

Liked some of the classic covers, but this is like the 5th best Beatles album

Fun and bluesy at times, some sections sound messy to me though

Love the opening half or so. This was first zeppelin album I got into

Great album with quite a few classics - a solid 9/10

5/5 is an insufficient amount of stars. Amazing album start to finish
