1001 Albums Summary

As someone who doesn't ever listen to live albums, this was surprisingly good. Favorites include Chain Gang and Twistin' the Night Away

Not my favorite type of music personally. Smackwater Jack, which was noticeably uptempo compared to the rest of the album, was my favorite here. Way over Yonder wasn't bad either but otherwise just not for me

Just not my genre; I recognize the importance the album had but to me it just sounds like the same song over and over again; barely sounds like singing

Not bad, definitely a very long album to try to listen to in one day. Pretty enjoyable to have on in the background sometimes but otherwise I don't see myself listening to this very often if at all

album cover is iconic but the music is not

Rather disappointing for my 100th album

One of the best albums I’ve listened to yet for sure. There is just so much funk, especially in A Gospel, one of my favorites. Really wish I had known about this album sooner.

Bad

Wonderwall is one of my favorite songs ever so this album automatically gets 5 stars

Still don't like rap

Better than rap I guess

I'm getting really tired of albums that sound like white noise for an hour

El primer albumen que tuve en espanol. Era muy pegajoso y relajante.

This one was enjoyable to listen to! Love the Trois Gymnopedies covers at the beginning and end. Some songs definitely felt more jazzy compared to others which was a nice dichotomy.

With an album name like this I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, really soothing. Album cover is sick too

Not as iconic as what’s the story but still has some good ones

The first two songs are really great but the album takes a little bit of a dip after that. Was initially considering giving 5 stars

I very much like the old country sounding albums, although this one didn’t have quite enough bangers to justify a 4 star

Yea I’m just not a huge fan of Dylan’s singing style

I appreciate the creativity with this album but honestly most of the songs sound like 30 second loops that last for 6 minutes for some reason

Giving a 3.5/5 in spirit cause it was generally pretty nice to listen to. The sax solo in Marine Boy goes absolutely insane

This is that white noise type of album that I find really boring. A couple of decent ones but not enough to make this album memorable in any way unfortunately

Feel like I should be rating this album higher but it's just not that memorable to me. I can only think of one song that felt really distinct and enjoyable to listen to. Hopefully there's another Arctic Monkeys album later that can redeem themselves to me.

This album is a good example of why I don't like to look at the top songs before I listen to them. I liked the Great Curve the most and then found out that Once in a Lifetime is basically the most popular TH song of all time, which I definitely didn't enjoy as much

A bit too mellow of an album for me, especially considering that it’s Springsteen. There are a few good ones in here though

This album definitely has a lot of soul eh? Waka waka!

This one wasn’t terrible, a couple of the songs were bangers

Really soothing actually. Never heard of this band but was not unpleasant to listen to.

A lot of the songs felt way too similar to be super enjoyable. Also not sure why so many bands I’ve never heard of with generic rock music are ok this list

Nice soothing album to listen to on my birthday. Funny that I’ve never heard of Nick Drake and I get two of his albums in a two week span

Just a Rascal is fire but the rest are really mid. Still don’t like hip hop

Not terrible for a hip-hop album but it’s still hip-hop. Talk to me when the album has Forget You

I’ve definitely heard some more memorable folk albums during this project, but there were still a good one or two in here

I liked this one more than the first Doves album. Most of these were genuinely enjoyable to listen to which is all you can really ask for from this project

Melody was generally pretty pleasant but it was just difficult to get into given the language barrier

Sounded too much like that generic rock white noise unfortunately

I can see why people like Johnny Cash so much. His voice is great and his songs have a lot of emotion. Excited to hear more of his albums!

This album started off strong but unfortunately because a lot of the songs sound the same they all started to blend together toward the end. Gonna be difficult to be memorable when that’s the case

First Pearl Jam album - wonder if there’s even any more in here cause it seems like all their most popular songs were in this one. Regardless, don’t think I’m a huge fan of them.

This was a great album, although not quite sure it should be considered one of the greatest of all time. Just didn’t differentiate itself enough from an average rock album for me to think that

Rather anticlimactic to celebrate listening to a years worth of albums. Wasn’t the worst thing I could have gotten though I guess. Timberlake has a nice voice

Honestly expected more chaos from a KISS album. Detroit Rock City is good but everything after that just kind of misses the mark for me. Still liked the general sound though so I’ll give it a 3

Funny that I get 2 out of 3 Hendrix albums in this project so close together. Wonder if I’ll get the third one within the next week or so. Strangely, I think I liked the overall vibe of this one more than Are You Experienced

For someone who’s listened very little to Bob Marley this album sounded exactly how I expected a Bob Marley album to sound

This album was a bit too mellow for me without being super pleasant to listen to. I feel like Johnny Cash has a better blend there but I know Nelson probably isn’t going for the same thing

Usually not a fan of shoegaze but this one was pretty good

Pretty great album. Having Every Breath You Take kind of made it instant S Tier even if some of the other songs are mid

This album is so goated. Literally every song except Most of Us are Sad were absolute bangers. Makes me super excited for the Eagles concert I’m going to

After listening to this album I’m convinced that Eurythmics was some random experimental band that accidentally made one of the best songs of the 80s. Sweet Dreams is the only thing saving this album from a 2

Not a ton of notes here, just a pretty good blues rock album

Definitely one of the best hip hop albums I’ve heard so far. The Magic Number and Me Myself and I are both bangers. After thinking about it I’m giving this album a 5 because hip hop may not get another chance from me

The Girl From Impenada is iconic and I love the copious amount of sax in this album so I’m inclined to give this one a pretty good rating

Bro what is this crazy album. If I get to the end of this project and there’s a bunch of great albums missing I’m going to be so confused as to how ones like this made it in over them

Thought it was gonna be just another hip hop album but it ended up being pretty good

Good album - somewhat ethereal sounding at times and it’s impressive to be able to do that without just sounding like white noise

Unfortunately as soon as I said yesterday’s album didn’t sound like white noise I got this one that does. Just now finding out that Shoegaze is basically the white noise genre to me so yea not a fan

Not bad, some of the songs sounded wildly different from others but what did you expect from an album like this

Not a huge fan of the Pixies, although there were a couple decent ones. The whole bit at the end of Oh my Golly was funny

Most of this album just didn’t hook me that much although there were a few good ones. Not enough to justify more than 2 stars unfortunately

Nah this one is just all over the place and has that classic white noise rock feel

This feels like the first proper EDM album I’ve gotten the whole time which is pretty crazy. The cover is also very reminiscent of crab rave. Album is ok overall but Firestarter is a banger

Totally judged the book by its cover on this one. Album was way better and more calming than I thought it would be

Probably the least good Elvis album I’ve gotten so far but it’s still Elvis

Some all timers on this album for sure…great sounding rock

Yea this one didn’t really hook me that much. It doesn’t feel like the more traditional country I really enjoy

Half of this album feels less like music and more like futuristic noises but I’m not saying I hate it

Dreamer is a good song but otherwise this album is pretty underwhelming - some of the songs sound a bit ethereal but not really in a way I’d expect for an album like this

I’ve never heard of this Jethro Tull guy before but this wasn’t a bad album. I don’t know why there’s a 15 minute interview as a bonus track included though

Very stereotypical 80s pop album but I liked it. There were some great ones in here like Never Let Me Down Again and Sacred

2 hours of peak bluegrass? Absolute audio

This one was a little too metal for me, didn’t like it much

I think this may be my first Elton John album surprisingly enough, but a great one to start out with! Bennie and the Jetts and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are both phenomenal. Barely any misses in this one

Terrible album. Very disharmonious to me

Probably the biggest example of don’t judge an album by its cover or band name so far. Was expecting some kind of death metal but album was actually pretty pleasant overall

Very English sounding pop album with only a couple good ones, wasn’t a huge fan here

Kinda underwhelming for my 400th album but there haven’t been a ton of world music albums yet so not terrible

A great album. I’ve giving it a 4 instead of 5 because the songs eventually blended together a bit for my uncultured ear but it’s still super pleasant to listen to

It’s ok but it’s absolutely wild that Eminem didn’t get put on some kind of watch list with these albums man

Yea it was fine some of the songs were vibey. I’m noticing a recurring theme with the post 2010 albums im seeing in this list though

I thought the album sounded really good overall but was maybe a bit longer than it should have been so I’m knocking it down a bit

This album did not do it for me. Just didn’t feel inspired at all and I can’t even remember any of the songs even though I listened to it yesterday

Fairly pleasant sounding throughout the whole album - can’t really pinpoint any specific favorites

Might be recency bias but don’t like the Smiths so annoying getting two of their albums so close together

Wasn’t terrible but not that memorable either. I can’t remember any of the songs even though I listened to it yesterday but I remember that they didn’t sound bad

Was generally good but the songs in albums like this tend to blend together so it’s not super memorable

Didn’t love this one. With a name like this was expecting a patriotic album for the 4th but apparently not

Let me check… nope, still don’t like hip hop

Another misleading album name...it was quite pleasant and the Maggot Brain song is just ten minutes of soothing jazz that I very much enjoyed

Really enjoyed the mellowness of this album, don't feel like there's a ton of albums in here like this so pretty relaxing when they do show up

Another very forgettable rock album, even though I generally like the genre. Wish more of these had better sounding songs
