just perfect. Johnny Cash did more for incarcerated rights than any celebrity has, and he did it by seeing them as people who deserved to hear some live music. it’s not a revolutionary idea, but still feels monumental. this album is so silly and goofy and funny but also heartbreaking and deeply sad. Johnny Cash always blended those two moods together so well, and for it to come across in this live recording.. art!
to be honest, I grew out of this music when I was a 17 year old girl. something many men have not been able to accomplish yet. it’s good! just doesn’t serve me anymore. s
sorry I wanted to be positive with the first album of the 1001 albums but I’ll be fine if I never hear this ever again. soooooooo boring
it’s just so so good. and even so much more foundational than I originally had in mind after hearing GNX
I mean what can you say about this. era defining. the longevity of this album is crazy. it’s funny how biased I am towards the stevie and christine songs. don’t stop is almost a skip for me these days. also probably cheating but I did listen to the reissue with silver springs. 5/5 because I love divorce, polycules, and substance abuse
I really really miss when music was dangerous. when protest anthems actually disrupted the system. this might have been the last time that happened. holidays in the sun - be nice to others bodies - I don’t care. pro choice song TO ME no feelings - why narcissism is bad liar - lying is bad god save the queen - fuck that bitch problems - fuck you seventeen - you’re adult? fuck you anarchy in the uk - YUPPPPPP submission - love song obviously pretty vacant - this ones actually more homophobic than the one to come new york - okay their only miss but I do feel like I have to clarify they were mocking the new york dolls, and not queer people in general. they should keep the dolls out of their mouths tho emi- good diss track this album is so challenging and uncomfortable and irritating, but all good art is. even though they hated art. these men are horrible and shouldn’t be idolized. but I love punk and we wouldn’t have the genre without them.
I really liked this! looking forward to coming back to this artist
so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! made me very nostalgic for some reason
album so good it’s haunting me and the hoes
this one is so tricky! I love dinosaur jr. but I’m a little baffled by Bug being their album on this list. I know the band hated it, but probably because they were on the verge of breaking up. certainly not my favorite of theirs, but I appreciated listening to it in its entirety (since I usually skip “don’t”)
goddd hi Paul McCartney thriller directly into beat it then Billie Jean is fucking crazzzyyy I wish I was alive in 1982
I love the 80s but just not for me!
not listening to this one because Christmas is over and I hate murderers
music has never made me this angry. hated it viscerally
nightrain and mr. brownstone should have been their welcome to the jungle and paradise city. this is one of the few CDs I've worn out to the point of not being able to play anymore. I would blast this and drive 40 in a 25 on my way to my shift at jc penneys in my red oldsmobile alero (Emma you remember) and felt invincible. truly a classic objectively and meant so much to me growing up
really love this! need another listen because I was doing work that was pissing me off. want to listen to this on a warm sunny day
idk I liked it but far too long. I enjoyed the tracks with melodic vocals the most
STEELY DAN SUMMER IN JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!! 5/5
gorjusssss I want to be a cowboy
I cant even objectively OR subjectively rate this so
love this album. I really liked listening to it after can’t buy a thrill. what is barrytown and what are the implications of being from barrytown
“the singer sounds so depressed and moody” well he did kill himself this album suffers from the thing that plagues old classics. it is so referential that it seems boring. it’s inspired too much and luckily we’ve gotten some of the best music due to their influence. not for me, I much prefer new order. but appreciated the time to sit with this
cool as hell! was hooked by But I’m Different Now
loveeeee. perfect for a snowy day
bitter sweet symphony always brings me back to being 11 in 2008, when my family was visiting Disney world. we are at planet Hollywood and it was the first time I ever saw this music video. I was trying to watch him move around all those people but then got very distracted because there was an older lady sitting at a table near us in a cheetah print dress and she had the biggest breasts I’d ever seen. I then got in trouble for pointing out to my family that her breasts were resting on top of her salad on the table. thank you Richard Ashcroft anyways the rest of this album is superb.
gorgeous. soo gorgeous. I was so happy to hear By The Time I Get To Phoenix again as the single edit because this track blew me away the first time. warm and inviting, and quite modern sounding for a 1969 album
irritating and superficial imitation of jim morrison without an ounce of his wit and lyricism. what are we even doing with this album. it’s an album like this that really makes me lose faith in this 1001 list. who was inspired by this album. just because members broke off and started joined good bands and the sex pistols covered a song is that enough to be considered “influential” ?????????? listening more. I like Hospital. more melodic and less stupid Doors stuff. oh as I’m listening it got creepy. “when you were a little girl I get jealous of your old boyfriends” wtfff I thought we were being vulnerable for a sec it’s over who cheered
god this is going to make me defend britpop one of the more interesting modern genres, as it is not categorized by sound or music styles. there’s a line to be drawn when evaluating britpop and it think it boils down to how you are using your influences. successful britpop bands sound new and interesting. but they don’t reinvent the wheel (oasis legitimately ripped off many of their influence) BUTTT they were exciting. another great example is Justine leaving suede to form elastica suede falls on the side (to me) of sounding boring and derivative. this doesn’t make me want more suede. I just want to listen to Bowie now. I’m very glad Justine got out and did some cool stuff with that elastica album. this one just doesn’t hit
enjoyed immensely
I really feel like this is too good for me to subjectively critique
this is the closest I will get in my late twenties to going to church. jeff lynne is not unlike a god to me.
so good. stand outs for me this time around were panic in detroit and time. I really needed bowie to tell me yesterday “you… are not a victim. you….. just scream with boredom”
classic! makes me want to be a mod AND a rocker
not a bad song on here. this fucks severely. I would say that about any jack white album to be fair. “I want love to murder my own mother and Take her off to somewhere like hell or up above I want love to change my friends to enemies Change my friends to enemies and show me how it's all my fault” fuck yesssssss
I was so far in my cheap trick ass that I thought they wrote the that 70s show theme song… come to find out. this is good, it’s interesting how this band completely missed me. seems like everything I would have loved as a teen
already said this but Kendrick is one of maybe 3 working artists who can stop the world when new music drops. it’s so so special. I vividly remember this coming out.
enjoyed quite a bit! don’t get around to sepultura much
it’s fun!!!!!! definitely doesn’t need to be on this list tho I’m sorry
this is just not for me, but it wasn’t too bad to listen to as I worked. I don’t think men should be allowed to have lead vocals for music like this. a woman’s voice would have been so much more pleasing.
I love this pervert (jarvis cocker)
the sampling of warren zevon’s werewolves of london is so bizarre here. like great now I wish I was listening to warren zevon don’t see the vision of this
this crazy album. so good
okay I’ve always wanted to be someone who likes the pixies, but I haven’t tried very hard. perhaps my manifestation has made me biased, but this rocked me. I l fuck heavy with the surf rock mixed with this nastiness. I listened to this on a power walk and had to physically fight the urge to crawl around on all fours like a beast. that’s an instant 5/5
living for the city is the best song ever recorded. this is like a 6/5
horns and punk! it’s good for me
just perfect. Johnny Cash did more for incarcerated rights than any celebrity has, and he did it by seeing them as people who deserved to hear some live music. it’s not a revolutionary idea, but still feels monumental. this album is so silly and goofy and funny but also heartbreaking and deeply sad. Johnny Cash always blended those two moods together so well, and for it to come across in this live recording.. art!
I enjoyed the opportunity to listen, and I understand the queerness and coming out journey of this album, but giving us a pet shop boys album from nineteen ninety three is fucking crazy.
Chicago doesn’t deserve this
they tried reheating Thom Yorke’s nachos and honestly? it worked for me
I actually don’t think we need to take music from black artists and put beats on top of it
interesting, I love the classics on this album, but this isn’t bowie to me. feels like bowie trying on a style that is not his, and feels out of place. I can appreciate him branching out, trying on soul and funk, but I need him in glam.
idk, I didn’t connect with this, and I wanted to like Elliott smith since cool people do, but maybe I was listening wrong
to be honest, I grew out of this music when I was a 17 year old girl. something many men have not been able to accomplish yet. it’s good! just doesn’t serve me anymore. s
love these little freaks
fun and different! got a little bored towards the end tho
no❤️
fun and kinda spooky. I don’t understand math rock but I can see how this might have inspired modern math rock maybe
okay I was NOT in the mood for U2 when this came up but oh my god. it rips.
sewwww good
um, cheap trick expert here! this album doesn’t even crack my top 15 cheap trick albums so I am providing help if you actually want to open your mind to this weirdo band if you want their best album: listen to Dream Police if you want a proto punk, heavier album: listen to their debut Cheap Trick if you want quintessential power pop, the genre they helped form: listen to Heaven Tonight if you want their 80s power ballad, some slight hair tease: listen to Lap of Luxury if you want a christmas album: listen to Christmas Christmas if you want a taste of how they transformed their sound into a modern era: listen to The Latest I could go on. If you want a better version of Live at Budokan, listen to the 30th anniversary edition CHEAP TRICK 4 EVERRRRR
this must have hit crazy style as a sexually repressed teen in 1969
why
I liked it but I couldn’t explain why
I was working on a joke review for this album about how I’m too beautiful to understand radiohead then How To Disappear Completely came on and I had to lay on the floor and listen to it 3 times
I love post punk! but hate the brits now :/
I love a flute
perfect!!!!!!! had a hard day at work and put this on and smiled for 1 hr and 5 minutes
fuck
sledgehammer maybe the best song ever
came around midway through! 3.5
psychological warfare but in a good way
don’t care
sorry but a banger
it’s fine. what else do you want me to say
haunting and sooo beautiful. my faves were the treaty and leaving the table. really grateful for the chance to sit down with this, I probably wouldn’t have without this album list
does nothing for me. I’d maybe listen to black steel again but overall it reminds me of the bobs burgers indie singer singing about oil spills as a metaphor for her vagina
I want to run fast now
i fuck HEAVY WITH IT
would’ve been a 4 but since this is maybe the first woman musician we’ve had in a week, and before the last one many months, gotta be a 5. love you Joni
way too much British punk but this still fucks
PRIEEEEEESSSTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
