1001 Albums Summary

1967 is arguably the greatest year in music history. This album would be up there with the best but there are some good, not great songs here. Jimi is no doubt the goat guitarist though.

Good energy, fun to listen to. Setlist is honestly rather bad though.

The worst of the first four Zep albums, still slaps

More complex than albums like Dookie or Insomniac, but still catchy and fun with no bad songs.

Doesn't really hold up at all, an absolute snoozer. The type of album you put on if you want people to leave the rave and go home.

Nothing special dreampop album. Some good songs mixed with forgettable ones.

The biggest hit on this feature one of the worst saxophone solos I've ever heard and it doesn't ever get any better

A voice like nails on a chalkboard, but a little worse

This is pretty good but wtf does it do on this list

This would be very good if you didn't have to listen to the most german accent ever singing. Persian Love is great.

It's quite solid, safe but unspectacular. Speedway is the best song on the album by far

Sandy Denny is one of my all time favourite vocalists and this album is one of the main reasons why. Fairport Convention released two of the greatest british folk rock albums in less than a year; this and Liege and Lief!

Not a jazz fan at all, but this is funky and groovy as hell

My controversial Ye opinion is that his early work isn't that good. Overproduced, autotune, too many skits. But there are some diamonds in here as well.

I know nothing about latino music, but I know this is straight up annoying to listen too. Production is superb for a 50s album.

Of course a band with the most boring name will make the most boring rock music possible

Bowie released what, 20 albums? This isn't even top 15.

For sure one of the greatest metal albums of all time. The only thrash album that can compete is Rust in Peace

Some sensational funky basslines in an otherwise repetetive and bland album

I've done this thing for 40 days and this is like the fifth "krautrock" album I've had to listen to. It starts of well with an instrumental, some early drone metal almost. Then there are a bunch of germans with heavy accents playing bad psychedelic rock five years after the rest of the world did it. Fucking terrible.

It's good, very good. Artists loudly singing love ballads isn't my kind of music though. The random "I love you" on So Real is the cheesiest thing I've ever heard in music

The best Genesis album

First song is an absolute jam, don't really care for the rest of the album

The third or fourth best Kate Bush album is still better than anything most artists will ever produce. Shoutout to Gilmours guitar on Rocket's Tail and the bassline on Love and Anger

Ah, peak 60s pop. Just don't google John Phillips.

Good voice, lots of variety. First half of the album is better than the second.

Holds up super well

Never listened to this group. Enjoyed it quite a lot without feeling the urge to listen to it again. Gave Heaven or Las Vegas a listen and liked it more

This is the fourth best Tribe album. Four stars.

Beats and rhymes are empty and boring. This just hasn't aged well at all. Influential sure, but Grandmaster flash and Sugarhill gang did it better and earlier.

It's good but why listen to this when Smile sessions actually exists now

Boring instrumentals, terrible singer and cheesy lyrics. Every song sounds like a discarded Disney song. Yeah I think I hate this

I like James Brown but I don't get how this is as highly rated as it is

Throw a massive pile of diarrhea on the wall and see what sticks: The album. Most of it won't stick of course, this is pretty terrible, but at least it was unique for it's time.

Fucking flawless, one of the best debuts ever

Great music, terrible vocalists. What a shame.

Look at that, the greatest ever country album

Listened to the first three songs but I'm afraid I'll fall asleep if I listen to the rest.

It's somewhere between awful and "well, not that terrible"

Country died in the 80s

Very groovy. The instrumental Savoir Faire a highlight.

A mix of 80s hip hop and what was yet to come in the 90s. Superb album. A bit too much filler and skits though.

There are a couple of songs that would make good hiphop beats in here, but as a 70 minute album it's an absolute snoozer

Nothing wrong with their music, I just kinda hate Pet Shop Boys for no real reason

Some good songs here, but there is only so long a bunch of bongo covers can keep me entertained.

Had to stop after the second song. Jesus fucking christ. Modern mainstream hiphop, with some exceptions, is so fucking dull and unoriginal.

Unreal pipes on ol' Aretha

Thankfully only two songs available on Spotify and I won't bother looking up the rest because they were truly horrible.

Waste of a spot on the list. Literally elevator music.

Hate jazz. Not the most annoying jazz I've had to listen too.

The fifth best Outkast album. Good but too much filler.

Early hiphop, with a couple of very few exceptions is just not very good. Let's just be honest.

Does sound like something your dads band would make in his garage during the weekend.

There is a lot of falsetto.

Don't know who this is but fuck him and his terrible album

Angry as hell and sexy guitar tones. Like it or not it's one of its genres finest. Last couple of songs is a bit much "let's just play fast"

I dislike jazz. I dislike brass instruments.

Had very low expectations. It's a pretty fun listen honestly, although not very good.

Five unreal musicians at their peak. Incredible.

First song is the only one that really stands out, but overall it's a very good album with great vocals.

Pink Floyd is my favourite band, and while It's not my go-to I enjoy the Syd-era albums. But the Syd solo stuff... ugh. I've tried but never managed to get into it. It's just kinda too much Syd.

Bongos!

Starts with an absolute tune. The rest is solid to good but can't live up to the first song.

If you think this is anything but complete shit you're a pretentious ass and I will never take you seriously.

Very cool music if you're twelve years old

Moonchild is a bit of a snoozer but the rest is basically flawless and obviously the most influental prog rock album ever

Fucking hell, I got this the day after the death of the genius that is Brian Wilson which is a bit weird. I definitely wouldn't put this on my personal top 20 but this one is so ahead of its time it's crazy. All the crazy instruments makes it unique, the harmonies and lyrics are amazing.

Out of all the Dylan albums, maybe this one shouldn't be on here.

Peak Page, Bonham out of his mind as usual and Plant doesn't end every other sentence with "babe". Maybe the best Zeppelin album, for sure top three.

Basically a taste of what would become the downfall of country music

Am I ever going to enjoy Radiohead? It's not looking good bruv. I can't stand Thoms whiny vocals.

When you're a terrible singer so you try rapping instead, but you're an even worse rapper.

Bit of a one hit wonder, except the hit is pretty bad

Surpringsingly mid given the artists involved, but good. Wildflowers the obvious highlight

These guys definitely take themselves too seriously.

I listened to this yesterday and today I can't remember a single thing about it which is probably not a good sign

I hate christmas and therefore I hate christmas music. This does feature christmas music and one of the most annoying christmas songs ever. Otherwise it doesn't completely suck.

Objetively "good" if you can be arsed to listen to these whiny vocals

Was a "deadhead" for about a year before I realised these guys don't have a single studio album worth remembering. Shame, because I think Jerry is a fantastic musician.

Ah, my least favourite genré, with a lot of saxophone, an instrument I mostly hate. And they're singing in portuguese, a language I find unpleasant. Skip.

I was going to be kind and give this a 2 but it's honestly so fucking shit I just can't.

Sexiest guitar tone ever

Don't think I will find 15 albums better than this on this list.

First album I'll skip because I've heard most of these songs so much more than I would want

Every man is entitled to their own opinion, but if you think this is anything other than one of the greatest hip hop albums I'm afraid you're wrong.

Only managed to listen to the first three songs because: A. It's utter fucking shit and his vocals are like nails on a chalkboard. B. I was already angry I got this muppet for like the tenth time.

I've listened to quite a lot of EDM through the years, and this together with Jilted Generation are THE albums of the genré

It's very 80s and I thought it was a woman first, but it doesn't suck

If I could filter out every jazz album I would

You definitely get bullied if you enjoy this. Deservidely.

None of their greatest songs are on here, but It's just very good throughout. No skips.

Wouldn't put this on my top five Bowie albums, and I honestly think Changes is a terrible song

Had to double chech whether I was really listening to the right album because what the hell.

If we pretend Mardi Gras doesn't exist this is probably the "worst" Creedence album. Still filled with incredible tunes.

There are so many great Paul Simon albums, why is this one here? So bland.

Great instrumentals, mainly the drumming. Unfortuntately the problem with numetal is the often cringy, edgy lyrics.

Some funky basslines in here, but at the end of the day it's Ska

Gotta say I've actually never listened to this guy before. I have to say, not only is this the worst album I've heard so far from this list, it's also some of the worst music I've ever heard. What a massive piece of shit. Had to look up some of his bigger hits and they're nowhere near as bad, so what's going on here? I don't even want to know.

It just doesn't get much better than this. The best drumming you'll ever hear in rock music.

One of the most overrated albums ever, and not even the best Kendrick album (that would be m.a.a.d city). Still a good album though

Even as a certified jazz hater I think Steely Dan made some of the smoothest music ever, and Aja is their peak.

Do I give this two stars because it sounds like the soundtrack to a high school show, or one star because according to Wikipedia Elvis Costello is a fan? One star it is

This dude is surely among the worst vocalists on this list, but I quite enjoyed the instrumentals.

Some of the absolute worst music I've heard since I had to listen to a previous album from this muppet.

A short list of things I'm not going to waste my time on: 1. 20 minute jazz songs. I'm sure it's great though..

Imagine dropping your first album and the first three songs are More than a feeling, Peace of mind and Long time. That is just unfair. I can't think of any artist or band that can compete with that? Rest of the album doesn't quite hold the same quality, but it would be almost impossible.

Alright people, let's not pretend this is anything other than shit. Sounds like the stuff my uncle made from his bedroom 20 years ago.

A year into this and this is the first time I'll give five stars to an album I haven't already heard before! While I don't love every song here it's very easy to see why it's well reviewed. The production is absolutely fantastic and the vocals, superb!

First song is about not being boring. Great irony. Snoozepop.

Christmas music is created by the devil himself, and I refuse to suffer through this. Would rather listen to another album by Elvis Costello, the muppet.

I tell you what, Kyuss is one the greatest metal bands ever. QOTSA is like the more generic, more boring version of Kyuss. But there is a little bit of Kyuss magic remaining. Listen to Kyuss people.

So much great music coming out of the UK. Therefore it's bizarre there is so much mediocrity on this list.

Some of the longest five minute songs ever.

Eminem is entry level hiphop, the rapper you first get into as an early teen before you discover there are so much better hiphop out there. Sure he's a great rapper, but the music? As of 2026, he's got more shit than good albums. Some good songs here, Stan obviously, The Real Slim Shady, Bitch Please II but overall it's a bit mid despite good production. Kill You and Kim for example are absolute shit songs.

Thought the first half was superb, and second half a bit of a sleeper. Overall good.

The best Kendrick album, but why did he have to destroy what would've been one of the greatest hiphop songs ever by ending every sentence with an annoying "uh" at the second half of Sing About Me, Im Dying of Thirst?

More jazz for me not to suffer through.
