1001 Albums Summary

Pleasantly suprised as I had never listened to the album w/ the single “ Lust for Life” on it. Iggy showing much more range than I thought he had

Most of these songs have been waaaay overplayed over the years, but listening to it as an 'album' for first time in years, it again shows why it was a bit of a groundbreaker for the late 80's and a template for the dirty/grittiness to come.

Hadn’t heard this album before, only the opening song. Overall solid but extended last song (hidden track) was below average. The last song was actually top notch!!

Talented individual but album just isn’t my cup of tea

Nostalgic listening time! One of the first cassettes I ever owned, and the album as a whole, still doesn’t disappoint. Obviously Legs, Sharp Dressed Man and Gimme All Your Lovin , were all over the radio and MTV but all the other songs on the album are bangers in their own way!

Epic , but even more epic listening to it for its epicness. Every song interwoven together to tell a story about Syd Barrett

Another never before listened to album (just heard a smattering of the songs over the years) but I was pleasantly suprised how it kept me captivated throughout

Such a classic album. First time truely listening to it straight through and it did not disappoint . ‘Clampdown’ and ‘Dead and Glory’ are bangers.

Solid, cohesive album. Became a huge fan of ‘Funeral’, Neon Bible’s predecessor but for some reason never fully listened to this album till now. Need a couple more listens but think I’ll be a huge fan in the future …

Crunchy grooves, toe tapping rhythms, very eclectic, but that’s Beck! A fun listen and very impressed!

It’s good for what it is, time filler with some catchiness. Some solid cuts but meanders a bit.

Sold riff rock - much needed palette cleanser 🤟

Good album for listening on the porch, watching sunset, drinking some pop

An album that could be playing in background of a poker game. Solid for what it is, but just not up my alley…

Odd, electic, but after reading up on them, understood the direction a bit more..

Brings me back to the turn-of-the-century where guitar rock made a good comeback. Some classics on this and some ones that I haven’t really listened to for a long time. Muy solid

One of the few albums fro start to finish that never loses its edge. Texas hot blues for days!

Some hold decent funky, bass slapin, beboppin’ at the start of album. The last half was a disaster of early ‘80s cliche synth

Good ol rock a twangy , with down to earth lyrics and funny banter throughout. Enjoyed!

Pavement is one of those ‘90s bands that should have been bigger and have been underrated . Great ‘90s indie album

Another solid album, though not in my wheelhouse, was an enjoyable listen

The beginnings of the 70’s Glam rock scene.. Weird song titles, a bit spacey but some damn good strong riffs in many of the songs.

Haven’t ever fully listened to this album all the way through. Can’t believe they have been around since ‘81! Enjoyable listen though feel I need a bit more time with it.

No it as good as Live at Folsom Prison. Some good songs, but a lot of chit-chat

It was fine for what it was

Planting the seeds for industrial rock. A bit chaotic but had some interesting tunes.

Some dredging post pink with some new wave thrown in. More of a Pop sound by EC with some biting lyrics .

Not someone I was familiar with but was impressed with the tunes and singing

El letic and melodic. Definitely was suprised how much I enjoyed this 22 song collection.

I’ve definitely been missing out by not listening to this album over the years. The roots of alt rock taking hold here. Minnesota is underrated for the musicians that come out of there

Always thought ELO was a ‘peppy Pink Floyd’ . Melodic and atmospheric at times though some some of the chorus’ sounded like disco unfortunately

Been waiting for a Stones album on this album project. Have really only listened to one of their albums fully (Steel Wheels) over the years so happy to get to dive into one. Overall, not disappointed , honky Tonk blues were on display throughout . A big listen (for one day) and probably still needs to be revisited.

Pretty much what I thought it would be. Some decent driving tunes, but a little intense overall

Marvin knew how to get it on. Smoooooooth

Some good ol polished and produced 80’s metal. All (or most) of the songs were seemingly hits. It was an enjoyable listen

Such a great late ‘80s album. Represented the college alt movement perfectly. Have been a late adopter so learning this decades after the fact

Always has been a solid album all around though has been years since listening to it.

Meh

So good, so many hits yet flows like an album should . 🤟

Gave it a good ol try. Just wasn’t feelin’ it..

So raw, can hear the start of what would be ‘London Calling’ in a few years . Outstanding !

Well, it was loud! Grooves were good, lyrics not so much

I enjoyed this, even though PJH looks a bit like Justine Bateman …

Cooooler than the other side of the pillow. ‘All Blues’ was 🔥🔥

Real solid ‘90s BritPop album. Had a bit of everything…

Fine album, not great, not bad. Long AF.

Did not need another PJH within the week… BUT 50ft Queenie and Yuri-G were quite bangers.

Such an easy listening, early thoughts indie/dance album. Every song is practically a hit.

Not sure what to say. Was a solid Britpop album, both great, not bad 🤷‍♂️

Such a shot in the arm. Was late to The Cult, started with Sonic Temple and worked backwards. So many punchy, catchy rock riffs from Billy and Ian’s Sonic vocals matched perfectly. Did not get bogged down from the late ‘80s cheesiness.

Respect

Not sure if this is one of the albums “you have to listen to before you die..” or “albums that will make you die” They should though charge per letter used in their song titles.

Could have been worse…allegedly

Great album from the 1st decade of the 2000’s. ‘Hoodoo’ I probably could have done without but bangers like Starlight, Assassin and Knights of Cyndonia more than make up for it.

Some good tunes. Meandered at times but overall a very solid listening experience

Doom n gloom. Album before they they went a bit more “happier”

Another British synth pop album….k….

Brilliant and epic. Was a late comer to it but still strong after all these years

Not their best, but some good ol OG glam with big guitars, big drums and soaring vocals. Justin Hawkins has some raaaaaange, though on the album seem to live in the high vocal register for a bit more than I like

This was nice…and folksy….and nice and folksy . Solid playing

Hadn’t listened to this one in a while. Always gravited towards ‘White Blood Cells’ and Elephant but this one, though deviated from those, still was solid in its own right.

Had heard good thinks about MA..Just didn’t feel it. Not bad but just meh IMO

Johnny Marr is great Morrissey is not

Kind of droned on to me. Last song was best

Solid for what it is, though not what was needed today.

Top notch Stones. Somehow never fully listened to this all the way through as an album over the years. Was a pleasant experience.

Very interesting and had some solid grooves

Album that was a bit more thematic than previous and one step closer to Pet Sounds - RIP Brian Wilson

Such a strong debut and a very enjoyable listening experience for the day. Chrissie Hynde is such a bad ass rock star! Need to listen to them much more than I do.

If I was into Dance/Electronica, it seems this would be a goto album. But alas, it isn’t my cup of tea but respect their work/following

Album had its moments. Showed the talents of S&G though as always, like them in small bites.

Fun and unique….for a bit

What did I just listen to?

Some decent tunes, not bad. Feel I need to be drinking whisky on a lake.

Take the band names and about 5 of the songs that have been played 4.8 billion times out, and it’s a solid hard rock album. Rack the name on, it’s divisive as hell. ‘Holier than Thou’ though is an underrated banger

This was listenable, not bad. Nothing stood out, but didn’t suck 👍

Not bad, not bad at all..

The Queen of Soul on display! Had heard some of these songs before but not all

Kids probably read these so I’ll just keep it to ‘It was not good’

Man, I really enjoyed this. A little punk, a little blues , all raw excellence 👊

Good ol synth pop. Interesting but not exciting. Definitely no ‘West End Girls’

A nostalgic kick ass early ‘90s Depexhe Mode

Meh

It was a privilege and an honor to Karen to the album.

Some decent memorable tunes. Couldn’t listen to all 2 hrs of it though.

Some early aught hits , not too bad

I mean, what can you say, an album that launched 2112 legends !!🤟

Took me a few years to “get” this album. Enjoyable complexity though have to be in mood for York’s vocals at times

Not my favorite U2 album , has a couple of radio hits but ‘Like a Song’ is an underrated banger

Caught my ear for a bit. Didn’t hate it

Hits, hits and more hits. Hell of a collection of songs.

One of my fav albums from the ‘00s

A groovy collection of psychedelic rock. One of the best of this genre

Doctor - “only take a small dosage of Björk or you will break out in warts and hives”

Just couldn’t get through all the songs. Don’t judge. …

Some decent cuts and beats but got old after a bit

Had heard good things about Roxy Music. It’s all lies!!

Solid, peppy OG cuts

Great Prog album but probably not best choice for a “one off” challenge. Needs a handful of listens to fully digest

Cool for what it was. Had a great song name

Da fuq is a FKA twigs?

Solid, not their best, but a harbinger of things to come!

Prototypical ‘70s double live album. Solid songs, handful of radio hits. Not something I really go to but still a good album

Isn't my cup of tea but it’s kind of catchy

Riff monster - “ Laughing , Satan spreads his wings..” Rest easy Ozzy

Catchy with some solid tunes

Early ‘aughts classic

Very talented singer/songwriter. Some solid songs here

Had never listened to this as an album, only songs. Strong tunes and production.

Quintessential live Thin Lizzy.. Tight, crisp two guitar attack . #RIPPhilLynott

Pure ‘80s and pure Tina

Had t heard of them but was very suprised. Some great tunes on this

Brilliance personified!

Very talented individual, some decent tunes

Not my favorite Antrax album but still top notch

Late aughts rocker.

It’s the Boss!

Felt like I needed some bell bottoms and mop top cuts to listen

Epic

Prince at the top of his game

Got halfway through one song…proud of myself

Simple, spartan yet a bit powerful at times

Helluva album name

Two Kate Bush albums within a couple weeks. Starting to lose faith in the random generator.

I think it’s ok?

Jaysus , the acid was strong with these folks

Still a classic!

I mean, what can you say?? Legendary

Exactly what I thought it would be

“Time to pay the piper, time to put on your diaper…” High quality lyrical prowess…

Naw….

I guess not bad ...

A party of post punk goodness!

actually listen to it full thing all the way through before. Solid..

What Enya would sound like on gummies

Ready to run through a freaking wall…

Good ol jazzy R n B. A cool listen.

Bang a gong, get it on

Buzzin’

Solid 2000’s indie rock. Mumford n Sons lite

Epitomy of hard rock. Still great to this day.

Such a legend. Continuation of late ‘80/90’s comeback

The gateway to Grunge. Still holds up these days

Early alt album. Didn’t get it or it till much later. Still packs a punch though

So The Police, so good

Never knew they were around in the mid 80s. His album definitely feels different than I remember them in the 90s.

Solid voice

Sometimes forget how stellar Joni was as a singer/songwriter back in the day

Optimally epic

Meeeeeeeh

Brilliant

SY is always a gratifying listen

Never heard of them. oddly decent, for a bout half the album, then became a bit derivative.

A few decent songs, just couldn’t get into the groove

Pleasantly surprised by this album. Had never heard of Ash, but they do have some decent hooks.

Very pleasantly surprised. Top notch riffs and tunes. Going straight into my rotation.

I guess this was OK. Nothing motored the boat for me.

Solid, Janis was and always will be an immensely talented lead

Not my fav by AF, but it is still overall a banger

Still a top notch collection of bangers after all these years. Intro to “Where the Streets….” still gives me goosebumps

Not much can’t top this as a band capper. Except ‘Mother’…

I guess it’s OK?

A sprinkle of adamant is organically OK, whole album is not

Some yeahs, and some mehs

Late ‘80s classic

Not bad, not great, but not bad

Still one of my favorite Dylan albums. Top notch songs all the way through !

Something fun songs, J. Giels-ish.

Late to the game with this album in early 2000’s but has been timeless ever since, always finds it self periodically back in rotation

Not my fav RH album but pretty darn solid for what it is

Definitely not top-notch

Solid, not my favorite BD album, but solid

Meh, just meh

Makes me want to belly dance

So much raw energy on this debut album.

different, not bad, not bad at all

Just didnt have it in me for another PJ Harvey album

Love it

OG epicness !!

Another one…

Still holds up to this day. New wave/punk/ pop infusion

Pleasantly suprised by this album. Poppy , happy ‘60s type melodies but sound quality was much better than other releases around its time

Wow , pretty impressed. Jangley Peter Buck chords, but also tinge of the pretenders. A very reasonable and enjoyable experience.

This entry was intriguing. Dug many of the fuzzy lo-fi melodies though 28 songs is waaaaaay too many. Would probably go back to in bits and pieces

Some banger songs just got all guitars bass and drums with a little glam thrown in

What can one say. except this is an all time classic, put Neil on the map for good!

Not sure why it’s taken me this long to actually listen to this album all the way through. Some fabulous cuts, even besides the two most popular and legendary songs

Hadn’t heard of this group. I really wanted to like this offering but just had a hard time. Would go somewhere and then stop.

Righteous!

Great late career album by DB

Epic, just the start…

The beginning of brilliance

Prime optimal thrash but not their best

Always underrated

Never was into his stuff back in early aughts. Not too bad though probably not something I’d listen to again

Great debut

Legendary classic - Dylan through and through

Some solid cuts on here

Don’t think I have heard of them but this was a fun listen. Solid.

5!!!!! So damn good

Actually, not bad

Wow, had never fully listed to this album and that was a major oversight. Such a haunting swan song for the man in black

Another PJ Harvey???

Didn’t realize how many of these were all over the airways in 87–88

Bluesy blues

Ok, not bad, just not my beat

I will say it, OG Madonna kicked arse

Five!!!!!!! Five!!!!!!!! Five!!!!!!!!! So damn good

I mean, it didn’t suck, had some good grooves

Hmmmmmmm no

Yes… oh very yes “ Let me slip into your So Kitchen…” Brilliance, definitely ahead of their time

Classic!!

The Original ‘Top Jimi’

One of those albums, at the time, I didn’t ‘get’ but definitely have over time!

So looooooong

OG NWOBHM!!! 🤟🤟

“I want you to want me!”

Beefy and more abrasive than Nevermind. Definitely has grown on me over the years.

100/5 - hands down, one of my favorite albums of all time

Language KL, language! Lol

Nothing special

Wonder if he’s related to Jared Ackles

Yes..oh yes. Chopped full of goodies!!

My intro to DL. Packed full of hits but as I learned from the ‘purists’ a bit too polished and lacking the rawness of Pyromania. Always will be a time and place album for me

Well I’ll be darn, there is actully more than the song American Pie

It’s definitely Kings of Leon. 1st half was Meg, 2nd half had a bit more umph to it

Lordy, 50+ years old and still a banger. I’m going to go do the St Vitus Dance

Ok…….meh

Never had actually listened to the album except for the song, ‘Imagine’ - actually pretty good. Lennon was such a genuine talent.

I kind of wanna run through a wall right now!!

So much pissed off angst!

Another time and place album

Chalked full of hits!!

Some good ol Cajun fun. Lots of hits!

Very 60’s and British-ey. Slightly tinges of early Pink Floyd

Some ok tunes, seemed derivative for time period after a while

Late comer to Pavement. Good album , great band

Wish I had gotten into the Pixies during their early heyday. Some great albums out of that time frame

LEMMY!!!!

Prototypical Bowie

Some decent cuts

A bit boring

Not bad nothing exciting but lyrics are pretty cool

Decent album. Great cover of The Bangles ‘Hazy Shade of Winter’..😬😁

Don’t mind Willie, just wasn’t feeling it today

Some bangers, but also some yawners

Some delightfully, tasty and crunchy grooves

Siouxsie my Banshee!

Cooler than the other side of the pillow

The effing Who!!

Da fuq??

A bit long for my taste but still packed with some epic 90s tunes some over played, some not played enough

Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!

A bit tooooooooooo frenetic. Nothing ever resolved...

where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loopwhere time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop

Pleasantly delightful elclectiveness

Kind of intrigued

Makes me wanna dance!… Which does nobody any good?

That mid Aughts sound. Has some bangers and some quite not banging

I do like the Talking Heads, but in small doses. 16 songs is a bit much.

Go get it Dolly!

If he wasn’t an a- hole, actually not bad

Not bad…not bad at all

Oddly weird

Interesting , probably needs another listen

Pure 80’s in the 90’s

Solid 70s Chicago/Tulll vibe. Good dog-walking album

Definitely did not suck. Musically it was decent vocally could’ve been a little more dynamic overall and not a bad listen.

Da King!!

A bit poppier Kinks

Bye, bye byyyyye…. Oops wrong entity.

I dug this. Need to follow up with it again

Actually kind of impressed , bit more smooth not as raucous, in this case is a good thing

Not my cup of tea

Was good for what it is, but wears thin after a while

Wuuuuu Tang!!

The beginning! Some decent songs, some filler. Flashes of what was to come, 'The Wild One, Forever' is an underrated cut

They got my beat…they got my beat…yeeeah the got it!!!

Meh

OG!

A more musical, and melodic Kinks

Classic !

Darn fine cuts on this

hit after hit after hit

Just the beginning...

Not my fav Dylan album but still some solid songs

A bit somber bit still not bad

Johnny Mars is brilliant, Morrisey is a whiny bitch, but they came together for this solid album.

Battery is still one of of the opening blasters ever! 55555555555555555

Part of the ditch trilogy, music was a bit peppier but lyrics were definitely darker a bit more disenchanted as it was during this time. Period the many layers of Neil Young.

Damn fine run of albums right now. Huge Sugar fan here

The beginning of… #UpTheIrons

Never had heard of them kind of intrigued, though in small doses. Album a bit too lengthy.

Great album as it is, but it is sub optimal to try to soak it in on one sitting or even two

Not bad, not great but not bad

Solid 80s synth sound

The king!!

So smooooooooth!!

Never heard of them.The vocals are kind of Dylan ish

Have heard the hits, but have never actually listened to this album all the way through.solid semi concept album

A top 10 all timer for me. #UPTHEIRONS

Late comer to the Cure but this is a top notch album

Campfire sitting, whisky drinking type of album

Hard hittin’!

LCD was all the rage in the early mid aughts but I just never got it. Not my cup of tea.

Definitely not my favorite Elvis Costello album

OG Beck, Woods and Stewart. Kind of epic

Billy can be a self-serving Dick, but Man he could turn out some tunes in the 90s

2nd time in a week for LCD - Starting to grow on me a bit. Not quite there yet, but growing...

couldnt get all the songs from album, but actually isnt half bad. couldnt give higher rating because didnt have all the songs

Never have previously listened to this album. Was quite impressed. It needs a few more extra listens.

I got the blues….

Not going to lie, I kind of dig this. Never heard of them, and nothing earth-shaking but kind of fun .

Recognizable, danceable , though not my thing

A bit bleak but very descriptive of time and place

Solid, though I definitely need to be in a different mind frame to sit down and listen through

Ummmm i’m just gonna go right ahead and say I’m not a fan

Brilliant and timely classic

Never have heard of The Icarus Line. If there was a 3.5 I’d give it. Definitely intrigued , didn’t want to get over my skies but loved what I heard. Need a couple more listens

Solid Indie album a few too many songs for my liking

On the more alternative albums. Some solid stuff.

Brings me back to mid 90’s and 🔥🔥 Shirley Manson . Solid album

Something really bugged me about this album…

Part of the ditch trilogy… So dark and raw

It didn’t suck, but it wasn’t great.

The Boss! Powerful as usual

I guess OK

I’m not sure what to think…

Not bad, but Indonhave a bit of Boss fatigue as this is 4th entry in a month

Not Fragile nor Closer to the Edge, but definitely on their way to their progtastic peak of those later albums. First album with Steve Howe and last album, Tony Cale.

Don’t nope I technically have ever listened to this album all the way through till now obviously had a ton of hits and it was more nostalgic, but the begrudgingly it’s half decent album

Hadn’t truly listened to this fully. Not too bad. Needs a couple more listens

One of my favorite albums of the 00’s - listened to this all the time on my iPod. Yes iPod kids.

Funky electictiveness!

Has potential if I’m in the mood. Originally was a Double album that had one song on each side. Hazard profile is a nine minute plus banger.

Some sweet grooves. A very solid OG rock ‘n’ roll album..

It’s OK and that’s about it

It’s Bob Marley, what can ya say??

My gawd, hit after hit after hit. Jimi and company at his short time best

Come on…come on..come on…

Was annoyed at first, but Iwas a little impatient with the songs. Probably all give it a second chance in the future.

I guess ok

Sure, why not

Had always heard about Scritti Pollotti - though they were going to be more Pixies…and they aren’t

I actually kind of enjoyed this a bit part rockish without the over abundance

Took a bit to get into. Not my fav Radiohead but not bad

Not my fav but not bad

Meeeeeh

Oh hell yeah!!

I guess ok

Actually, not bad though the algorithm has not been nice for rock albums recently so just bad timing for it

I guess? <shrug>
