1001 Albums Summary

10 stars out of 5. Legendary

I never really liked this album. I was 8 or 9 when it came out so I heard all the adults in my life play it all the time. The big hits got played out years ago. The gems are the non singles. It stands the test of time

Not my thing but you can hear so much of the framework for later metal bands. I especially enjoyed the harmonizing guitar riffs.

Never did get the Bruce love

Feel good music

Bjork is one of the most amazing vocalists and it's on display here. This is not the right starting point for listening to her though. Any of her prior albums is more musical and a more pleasurable listen. This is more conceptual, stunning at times, but takes effort to enjoy

A band's sophomore effort says a lot about their staying power. Pablo Honey was a promising start, but the jump from their debut to the bends is staggering. I have to rate this 5 stars even though the follow-up, OK Computer, is even better. I guess this is why a 5 star rating system is stupid huh?

Never really gave Rufus a chance after I heard his version of Hallelujah in Shrek. Sorry, but no need for it ever to be recorded again after Jeff Buckley did it. I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Beautifully written and performed. I'll listen again for sure.

Finally something not for old white men - Thoughts of an old white man

Young Dolly. What else to say??

Grade A asshole. Good thing he's also an A+ musician

Would anyone dare rate this less than a 5?

30 years ago I'd rate this a 5. Didn't age well

Probably groundbreaking for its time. Kinda corny now

5 of 5. Duh
