Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

This does not seem like a 'top 1001' album. Elevator/lobby music by today's standards.

1-Star Albums (12)

All Ratings (39)

Parklife by Blur
Mar 10 2025

Likely burnt out from three days of British bands in a row, but I've also never been into Damon Albarn's works.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 12 2025

I respect the Beatles, but this album wasn't particularly for me. The tracking is too simplistic for me but I'm probably very biased to modern techniques/methods. Probably was great for 1965 but there's a reason their latter albums are more renowned for them.

Mar 18 2025

A true gem by my standards as someone who doesn't listen to or gravitate to this genre. The depth of this album is just okay, but the all the great tracks hold this up. Bonus points for Eminem being one of the few rappers of which I can clearly understand the lyrics.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Mar 19 2025

My ear isn't nuanced enough to really differentiate many of these tracks. "Salminanam" felt like a desperado cowboy western track.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Mar 20 2025

Not really my thing compounded with some of the album tracks not available on Spotify. The F*** Me (Interlude) was disturbing to me.

The White Album by Beatles
Mar 24 2025

So many classic and very recognizable songs, so it's hard make any knocks against this album.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 25 2025

None of the other songs on this album really stuck out to me aside from Tiny Dancer.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 26 2025

Low streaming quality on Spotify weighs this rating down some, but was a decent enough album for my tastes.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 27 2025

First few songs held up for me listening on a bright and sunny morning, but then I got bored with each successive track.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Mar 31 2025

This does not seem like a 'top 1001' album. Elevator/lobby music by today's standards.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Apr 02 2025

Not a huge fan of Aguilera, but can respect her. This album has some great songs. Loved the song 'Ain't No Other Man' when it was released, such a good backbeat and use of horn hits.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 03 2025

Tuned this out and by the time I came back to it, was 11 tracks in. Couldn't remember a single thing.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Apr 04 2025

Pretty fun eclectic mix of songs! Wasn't convinced at the start, but came around on it as the album progressed.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 07 2025

An absolute gem - instant 5/5. Not my favorite Radiohead album, but in the context of these 1001 albums, its great. @joe this is MY college feels.

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 08 2025

This doesn't really feel like it should be characterized as 'punk rock', but I enjoyed this as someone is ignorant of Patti Smith.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 09 2025

Wish I could rate 0, not music to me.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Apr 11 2025

So many classics, definitely worthy of this list. A number of tracks I had never heard before that could def pass off as good rock music in 2025.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 14 2025

I thought this album artwork said 'Supertrump' at first. πŸ˜† Pretty fun album!

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Apr 15 2025

This album doesn't exude as much "king of rock and roll" as other albums, but I found this okay.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Apr 16 2025

Couldn't stand this album -- had to cut it off.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 17 2025

I have actually never listened to any YYY albums straight through so this was fun. Some lulls for me but the more popularized songs are awesome.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 18 2025

So boring. Needs the E Street Band with him (Max Weinberg 😍) to be interesting to me.

Pornography by The Cure
Apr 22 2025

I like Robert Smith, but hard for me to stomach a full album of him.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 23 2025

I never truly appreciated / treasured Meat Loaf until he passed. This album was fun -- liked the fast paced dramatics.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 24 2025

Perfectly fine album, but didn't feel worthy of this list.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Apr 25 2025

The cover artwork is as campy as this album πŸ˜†

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 28 2025

Neil Young's vocals are too whiny for me.

Different Class by Pulp
Apr 30 2025

Sad to admit I've never listened to Pulp, but I found this album pretty fun despite it being on the longer side.

Third by Portishead
May 01 2025

Def very Portishead πŸ˜… -- too whiny/droning for my tastes. One of the few more modern albums on this list encountered so far.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
May 02 2025

Couldn't listen to this during the day, however it was relaxing while cooking dinner. Overall, not what I'm looking for out of the this list.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle MonΓ‘e
May 05 2025

Energetic fun -- definitely foundational towards her evolution to the artist she is today. Not for me personally.

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 09 2025
