1001 Albums Summary

You can not go wrong with Parliament as a 1st suggestion. I'm completely grooving to this. Just listening with this stupid grin on my face like I'm seeing a long time friend that I've not seen in a long time. Good times!

The debut recording from IM? Okay, I'll check it out. It was weird not having Bruce on vocals, but it was pretty decent.

Absolute gem! Count Basie is a legend but I had not heard this previously. It's excellent & I can't wait to find a copy for my collection.

Nearly all her hits on one record. Great voice, love the music, but just a fan of hers. Not a huge fan, just a regular fan. Great record.

THE album from RUSH. Probably my favorite band & I've seen them live more than any other group. Easy 5 out of 5 for me.

I liked it. I had only heard the song from Singles by them before. I would be interested in hearing more of them. Definitely underrated as far as grunge goes.

This does not appeal to me at all. Most likely a 1 out of 5.

Fantastic record. While I don't own it, I do think it's great. 4.5 for me.

Didn't do anything for me other than wish it was over sooner. The closest I got to liking any of it was Slum Beautiful with Cee-Lo, but that was about it. Not my idea of a good listen at all.

While better than Outkast, it's not my jam. It had some cool beats, but it is lost on me. 1.5 of 5.

A decent listen. I could see liking it more after a few listens.

meh

One of the excellent debut records in my opinion.

Meh.

Good stuff!! High energy as punk should be.

meh. not my thing. I was hoping for an Arcade Fire sound, but it wasn't that.

a 90s classic. solid album & still stands up pretty well today.

I love Bowie, but I didn't care too much for this album. But still better than most others. 3/5

One of the defining albums for punk/new wave. Very solid!

Banger!! The insanely huge follow up to the insanely huge Pyromania album. One of the best bands in RNR.

Very solid. She had such a great soothing voice.

pretty decent

A solid listen but a little short on time. Would love a longer album of this.

A must own for a RNR fan.

Not my genre, but it was pretty good.

mostly unremarkable

A 60s banger! JA really brought it on this album.
