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
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
fun and different! got a little bored towards the end tho
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.
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
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 :/
perfect!!!!!!! had a hard day at work and put this on and smiled for 1 hr and 5 minutes
sledgehammer maybe the best song ever
came around midway through! 3.5
psychological warfare but in a good way
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
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!!!!!!!!
music for girl perverts. thank god!
so good. nothing but bangers
can’t go wrong either a lil s and g. cried 3 times
not my favorite Alice album. this better mean welcome to my nightmare and Alice Cooper goes to hell are still on this list
Kate Bush if I didn’t understand the subject
unfortunately this just didn’t stand out to me. I believe it was good, just not sure why
this wasn’t enough to make me get over my issues with Randy Newman…. close, but no
there needs to be a 6/5 stars option
bangin, not my fave from Mr. John. but it’s certainly and Elton John album
perfect. an album made in a lab specifically for me. it kinda sent me into hysterics for a full weekend
I never want to like this stones album because I feel like they do honky tonk much better on sticky fingers and exile. BUT this rips. midnight rambler plus two of the best opening and closing songs on any album. she blew my nose and then she blew my miiinddd
I don’t really understand how an album can have such stunning vocals but still be completely underwhelming
no one is writing full length rock operas anymore. this album is insane and has its problems, but what a time for bizarre creativity. and roger daltrey was smokin in the movie so that has to count for something
I listened to like a prayer 14 times instead
love the police but thinking this album is essential is laughable
had a really great time with this. awesome guitars
so influential but impossible to listen to. not sure why this feels too dated vs. timeless
he’s the absolute best but the live recording was difficult to listen to
weird to revisit an album I used to love as a child but don’t care about as a grown adult. makes it hard to review. objectively it’s good but idgaf anymore
god I love you Mr. Simon. short kings always prevail
good if you like music you don’t need to pay attention to
boring and generic to be honest. but maybe I’m in a mood
I thought this was really fun okay
really really nice to listen to. but kinda boring. idk
I mean I love it but I don’t think I can be objective when given a band like this
this is like the definition of iconic
this was very beautiful 2 me
it’s a perfect album but something permanent needs to happen to thom yorke so we will compromise at a 3
very beautiful, probably ranked 3rd of the stevie albums we’ve gotten on this list so far tho
god this is so good. so in love is one of the best tracks ever recorded
I literally don’t care syd
it’s no Tiddies & Beer or Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? but it is a work of art
“bUt iT aLL sOuNdS ThE SaMe!!!” thats the POINT you stupid assholes!
if I wanted to listen to Leonard Cohen I would just listen to Leonard Cohen
think I’m getting my period because I just burst into tears
what am I supposed to say. 5/5 like.. yeah
actually I don’t need to listen to any English electronic before I die
I do know Johnny Marr is a genius, I get how important this album is, but I wish I could be someone who enjoys this. I just don’t get it. There’s something wrong with me maybe
so fun, so gross, so discombobulated. the album is a mess and this band self imploded thankfully. bonus points for having a band member who doesn’t play an instrument, just dances on stage
I love angry vengeful women and I love fiona apple
those certainly were noises that were put together
SHUT THESE WHITE BOYS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
having an existential crisis to life on mars. an ethereal classic. god feels real when I listen to this
just found out fatboy slim isn’t fat and is english. so all that feels wrong
I love you david byrne. faves from this: the girl wants to be with the girls, artists only, take me to the river, and the big country
I mean it’s a banger of an album but I’m so sick of these pedophiles
for the love of GOD!!!!!!!! don’t listen to the Spotify link! find the original album and save yourself from 2 hours of pre-parklife blur.
anyways, love you blur
I’ve been way too kind to the billion other radiohead albums so: snore city
bob is king!
the first “how does it feel?” in rolling stone makes me want to punch a hole in my wall
sad that I wasn’t blown away by this, but still really enjoyed it
maybe it’s the paint fumes but I kinda had fun
a perfect album. what strikes me on the millionth relisten is how dynamic it is for a genre that can certainly struggle with sounding the same. I don’t think tony iommi gets enough credit for his guitar god status.
rip ozzy. what a treat this was
I listened to this just like that viral video of the woman drinking kombucha
3.5 but we will round up yeah girllllll
this makes me want to kill myself in the best way
I liked this… but why is it on this list ?
the gay undertones of this mormon album. brandon flowers let’s get that eyeliner back on and sing about boys wrestling again!
genuinely tho an album that changed my life. hit after hit from m’boys
the bangers are good but the other ones that don’t matter don’t really matter
22 minute opening song like you actually want me to kill myself 1001albumsgenerator.com
would’ve loved to see Newport’s reaction to this. so perfect
this list is set on making me hate britpop and it’s working!!!!
chris cornell I love and miss you so much. this is such a quintessential album to understanding the human condition. not to be gauche but soundgarden (along with nirvana, alice in chains, and pearl jam) gave individuals an outlet to feel all emotions. it is beautiful to me!!!!!!
god might actually be real
everything is so perfect except for that one song I have to skip
deducted one star just because one of the popular reviews on this website referred to her as the “female tom petty”
I thought this was fun! I love following directions
liked a lotttttttt thank you bob
I think this list is a psyop to get people to hate certain musicians by linking a 3 hour box set. I just listened to a different Ella Fitzgerald album and rate that 4/5
“the warmth of your love is like the warmth of the sun, and this will be our year, took a long time to come”
I love this album so much. it feels like a hug on every listen
if you rated this album lower than a 2 I think you should be stoned to death.
I’ve been waiting for the score to show up on this list, this was so revolutionary to me when I first heard it. timeless and as relevant as ever. and just so well done. Lauryn Hill I would die for you
really love this album a lot , but its inclusion on this list is a joke
banger after banger after banger I want to go commit arson and drink 17 beers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maggie May is my favorite song of all time and I love the taste of flour
the greatest to ever do it
I LOVE POP MUSIC!!!!!!!!!
I was hoping for more from the scotts. no thank you
everything I encounter from donovan is just so lovely. this might be the best
sorry I just don’t care I’m a grown woman now I don’t care what jim morrison’s drunk ass has to say
number 1 guy I wish wasn’t an abuser
wait a god damn minute… I love this
SANGERSSSSSS my god she’s perfect
oye como va cured my ear infection
hated this a lot. don’t have anything good to say so I’ll leave it at that
knew I’d hate this just by looking at the track list
I just wish we could be angry and hate the cops as much as they deserve without also violently hating women
I mean I don’t know. whatever. who cares at this point
I loved it but my cats did NOT
so perfect so charming so quaint
and I feel god in this chili’s tonight
no one did it BETTER!!! YESSSSSS! 13 minute track called sex machine? godddd
I know I just gave willie nelson’s stardust 5 stars but enough with cover song albums..
back when musicians used to create art inspired by a novel they read or film they saw. not just slop put out to sell sweaters. fuck you taylor swift
I listened to both the 1986 and 2003 albums titled throwing muses and really enjoyed both
life is literally a bitch and then you die. this album fucked
Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, isolation, isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasure's a wayward distraction
This is my one lucky prize
while I will never ever choose to put on joy division when I’m looking for something to jam to, there’s such a gift with this song and album. It’s easy to look back and mystify the lyrics of Ian Curtis, but isolation is just so human.
dress is the best song ever btw
one reviewer bravely asked: “Johnny Cash released 97 albums in his career, 3 of which are on this list. Did 2 of the 3 need to be live albums from prisons?” And I would like to say yes. All 3 should be on the list and maybe 50 out of 97 should also be here
really wish listening to this album didn’t happen to me
Damon Albarn, you’ve upset me in so many creative ways over the years. in other news this album really did start his twink death
need me a side of croc with this
didn’t vibe with this but dick cheney died today so who really cares
not even my top 5 stones album. sorry girls
this was a lot but I miss when artists just took drugs and made art and didn’t care about if their songs can be tik tokked into oblivion
really liked the medley song
so god damn boring. and that’s coming from an eagles enthusiast.
victim of love is the only notable song besides the obvious one
my fave music to work to. so nice
you don’t even get a witty review im too pissed off
new wave is already such a challenging genre to get people to take seriously why would we do this
now THATS! what I’m talking about
sorry the only thing I can think of is a harry styles / zayn malik fic titled Keep The Car Running that was huge in 2013. thanks arcade fire for the one direction fanfiction inspiration I guess
this unfortunately did nothing for me
OH GREAT! MORE ENGLISH ELECTRONIC!
maybe there’s something here and I’m just not getting it. bored and kinda straining
I’m comfortable enough with myself to stop pretending I care about Beck’s contributions to music
just so good, really masterful divergence away from grunge into more alt rock which is so quintessential late 90s. love her or hate her Courtney Love is an icon!
I hope you are burning in hell jerry lee lewis fuck you
hell yes let’s get mellow in this bitch
He’s like the David Lynch of music
the more electronic the more I dig my heels in and refuse to like it
B side is much better, anything that got us to the point of pet sounds I can’t be too down on
