1001 Albums Summary

I liked Nirvana when Nevermind first blew up. I like their quieter moments better so prefer Something in the Way and Lithium. I mostly find them almost manic-sounding now and they kinda stress me out. That being said, Nevermind is iconic and inspired a generation of grunge bands. 3/5 for that. 2/5 me wanting to listen to it. 1/5 album cover.

I know some of their most famous songs but havent listened to too much Public Enemy. I liked it more than I thought I would. 3/5 for me. 0/5 that it’s still so relevant.

Good album. Even though this was the first ZZ Top album I had heard, I like their older bluesier stuff better. And that TV Dinner song is the worst.

Nice background music for a dinner party. Lots of brass and big band vibes. I prefer Ray’s blues-infused music.

Just ok.

I like Psycho Killer but otherwise not a big fan.

Love this one.

I do not like this. It’s giving me a headache.

Prob the best U2 album. Some classics on there.

I liked this a lot! He just defines the blues. A few songs felt like they went on a little long (like the Blues Brothers were making their escape or something). Bus Driver made me laugh “my baby left me for a bus driver. He used to give her rides during the day and now she gives him rides at night” haha classic

I really liked some of the songs on this one. His voice sounds so different in every song…I prefer the ones where he sings in a lower register like Cripple Creek or Weighted Down. Things got weird after first 10 songs or so. My rating is for the first half of the songs as originally released.

Not a fan.

Love this one. Fast Car, Behind the Wall…so beautiful with such sad themes. I’d forgotten what a great album this is.

This one was a little weird. Not my fave when it comes to jazz. Sounded nothing like Monsters Inc.

I like old Pet Shop Boys stuff but didn’t enjoy this one. Over-produced and just weird.

I liked this one. I don’t usually listen to Radiohead but this was good!

I liked this! It was nice and upbeat in the background while I was working.

A couple of decent songs but mostly this is just not my genre. Omg their version of Help is bonkers.

Great album. Some songs I wasn’t as familiar with but I really enjoyed it.

I liked this ok. Not usually one I would seek out but it was good.

Not bad! I pride myself on knowing a lot of 80s music but had never heard of these guys before. They had a bit of a weird ‘sitcom theme’ sound at times but still fun.
