1001 Albums Summary

This album fucking owns, I love it.

This was definitely not my taste

Heard a million times, one of the greatest albums ever, frankly

not for me

dadcore

This album rules hard, love it. This is why I signed up for this, because I would have never listened otherwise

Pretty good but didnt exactly click

Nirvana was my favorite band as a child. They write music for children.

Good, not great

To make a classic album, you cannot please everyone. I was not pleased. My tastes are for up-tempo stuff like metal and punk; this album simply was not made with me in mind and that's OK.

Not for me

Classic, let's go

I had really low expectations and was blown away

I'm sure this was great for the golden age of hip hop, but even by 1990, Public Enemy and NWA made this stuff look corny as hell. The eponymous track is dope though

Yeah, no, I'm not listening to this, thanks though

After decades of listening, I always think I'm going to get bored by Bob Dylan and he always surprises me. Good stuff.

Liked it, didn't love it

I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought Jamiroquai was a one-hit wonder, but was proven otherwise

Simon and Garfunkel is one of my favorite groups, this wasn't quite at that level, but I enjoyed it

this was awesome

Not for me

I liked LCD Soundsystem. Then the kid who recommended them nonstop turned out to be a pedophile. I can't really listen to them anymore. Sorry, LCD Soundsystem; it's not your fault.

I literally have lyrics from this album tattooed on my chest

I hated this, so boring, so mid

Not my favorite thing qtips done but its still qtip

Liked, didnt love. Some parts stood out a lot though. I prefer baduizm

Love this album. The happening is an all time favorite of mine.

More than a one-hit wonder, this album has so many great songs.

I like the Jam a lot, so this was pretty disappointing

Pretty pretty pretty good

Loved this, was surprised

Enjoyed this a lot

One of the best ever made

I do not like this album

Holds up all right but theres filler for sure

milquetoast to the nth degree

Not for me

It was good, but not good enough to be like an album I need to hear

Thank god this wasn't the first time I heard the Byrds, otherwise I woulda thought that they sucked hard

Thought this would suck but it was all right

I did not like the song where they said protesting is dumb and inconvenient

Classic

one of my favorite all time albums

Starbucks music

classic

It was good.

Above average, well-executed, witty, but not groundbreaking

one of my formative albums

I don't usually like country all that much, but this was good

not bad but unremarkable

One of the greatest albums ever made, I love it so much

Enjoyed it

Three buffalo gals go round the outside

I dug it

the oddest part is when he tells people not to beat their wives

Fine. I have a feeling itll grow on me

A bit self-indulgent, but artsy fartsy pop punk will always get me

good, not great

Not for me

Not for me

This is when I started to get bored with the Arcade Fire

Kind of boring for me

I hate this album lol

Hated this

Didn't think I could underrate Zeppelin, given their place in history, but this ruled

Hated this

Not for me. I liked Everybody's Talking though, but the Nillson version is better in my opinion

I'm not into jazz

I do not like jazz

I don't like Jazz

a welcome reprieve from jazz. email my heart baby

I generally like ELP, this was just OK in my opinion

One time, in the days before smartphones, Youtube, and shazam, a song showed up on a Geico caveman commercial during an Eagles game. My annoying uncle heard it and loved it and made me look it up based on a small snippet of misheard lyrics. It was this song, and I will never forgive them for that. 3/5

One of the albums of all time

AHHHHH Father & Son always hits me hard since I lost my dad :(

not as good as later beastie albums but I get why it's historically important

HELL FUCKING YEAH

Hated this, really dumb stuff

I finished listening 39 seconds ago and have already forgotten everything. I don't understand why this is on the list; it just doesn't stand out in any way shape or form. Not catchy enough to be great poppy, not edgy enough to be great rock, not experimental enough to be great avant garde or alternative. It's definitely a well-executed album, like don't get me wrong, it's not bad and I can see it really appealing to hardcore fans of indie rock, in the same tier as other greats like Arcade Fire and The National, but it shouldn't be in the canon of albums you need to hear before you die and those latter bands have much more interesting albums than this, in my opinion.

Can I kick it?

aged better than LL cool j, but worse than public enemy or the beastie boys. Not a bad album, and without it I think music in 2025 is drastically different, but it's not something I'm going to want to listen to frequently

Charlie Kirk tried fucking with Wu Tang, but he should have been protecting his neck

I'm sorry, I just really do not get the appeal of jazz

Didn't really understand why this made the list.

Tons of classics

First listen didn't sink in at all but I was impressed on the second one.

Not my favorite Bowie album, but still a classic

one of the albums of all time

Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me he's straight up racist that sucka was simple and plain motherfuck him and John Wayne

are you having a laugh? are you taking the piss? this and other britishisms to explain my incredulity at why this album was selected for this list. It's not even like terrible, but this is very generic. It reminds me a lot of listening to our local radio station in 1999 when they would have the house DJ remix a couple of the contemporary hits at the time by adding air horns, shout outs to the radio station, and little noises here and there.

very much what I expected, they kinda suck though

This was incredible from start to finish. Not a dull track and many excellent tracks

This was nuts and i loved it

It ok

Mid beatles album

always loved this album

one of my all time favorites

fine

a bit lopsided, but obviously one of the most influential albums of all time. The first three tracks hold up so much. And Dr. Dre is probably my favorite rap artist of all time (less so as a rapper than as a producer, though)

Bob Dylan is not exactly my favorite artist, but this album is undeniable

Some great bops, but a bit inconsistent

I forgot how good this album was

it's prince. it's fucking prince baby

it was fine

love this album

fine

complete classic from start to finish one of my favorites ever

enjoyed thoroughly

Acdc is mid dad rock

I thought "Oh, Madonna, I'm familiar with Madonna." I always liked Madonna, but I was still blown away by this album.

Hate christmas music

Forgot how good this was. Reminds me of playing tony hawk for the ps2

RIP Bowie, you were a legend

I was surprised that this slipped through my radar, this was really good

Fine

Kinda lame

better than I expected

Well executed but not anything special

loved this album

Might be my favorite album all time. If not top 3

My favorite album as a child

Some good ones but mostly the same old song

Will always remember road trips yelling the lyrics to Now My Heart is Full DALLOW SPICER PINKY CUBIT EVERY JAMMY STRASFORD POET

I need more Sly & The Family Stone in my life, they are absolutely excellent. Becoming one of my favorites

I love the Manics!

I dig PJ Harvey

Pretty good

I remember liking this more than I did this time around

Excellent

I dug it

I want to give this a 0 because of the artist, but this was a formative album for me

Unlistenable

I grew up with this album. It's not bad but should not be on this list

Borrrrrring

Not for me. Didnt age well but not terrible

Good album that holds up but I dont put the beatles on a pedestal

Love this

Above average

5 on mushrooms, 2 or 3 sober

I like punk but this was kind of brainless

the doors are kind of boring

Boring and overrated. Song 2 is the best song and they wrote that as a parody

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this

Pretty pretty pretty good

Classic

Bjork can kind of wear on you after a bit, but she still rules

awful

Bad

Not good

Fine

fine

perfectly mediocre

Can't believe I'm giving coldplay a 3, but this was better than expected

Some of these albums are questionable selections. They're not bad, but they're too mediocre for this list. This is one of those.
