1001 Albums Summary

Tutti Frutti, oh Rudy

Them Bones on Guitar Hero. Surprising number of songs that survived to modern radio era.

All timer and Janice likes it

Nostalgia bomb holds up

Some standout tracks, never been my fav, good listen

Mega classic, feels truncated but songs are still 5-8 minutes. Guitar Hero sighting.

Really enjoyed it. Prolific singer songwriter, had heard an album before.

Piano rock, surprised how much I liked it

Hard to believe it's from 77, can hear past and future influences

Surprisingly varied sound. Listened to a lot of classic salsa like this with Jaime

Was hearing some Zeppelin style before you shook me which solidified it. Recorded one year before zep

Would be 5 stars if the mellowness was more my thing

Easy 5 star

Yellow is such a banger, otherwise consistent but mildly forgettable album. Shades of pre-Kid A Radiohead, Dave Matthews, etc.

Opening track sucks you right in, great riffs, warm 70s rock sound.

Good vibes great listen

Surprised by some tracks that everyone knows

Just 3 guys who were having a good time

Doesn't really hold up. The singles are mildly nostalgic and still bump.

Not very accessible

Funky jammy vibe. Janice really liked it.

First one I didn't make it through. Guess I don't want to be a cowboy.

Britrock but kind of boring

Twangy. Long.

Had fun with it. Got Janice up and dancing around.

Decent, kinda boring

Surprised me

Didn't really resonate with me

Always loved pink floyd, hasn't listened to this album more than once before

Surprised me. Didn't recognize any tracks though

More of a 4.5 but rounded up. Really good and influence all my favorite bands.

The one hit that people know isn't representative of their sound. Enjoyed the album

Feels almost… pretentious? but still great

Way more energy than I expected, quite liked it

Reggae britpop ska? I can see how it was influential maybe but not my favorite

Without you > Coconut > Let the good times roll is certainly an all timer of three track groupings. Enjoyed this one, beatles-esque, apparently he worked with Lennons solo career bandmates

Need to listen again

Plenty of soul. Janice liked it more than me

Five stars for the lead guitarist

Decent, jazzy. Learning that Janice really likes soul and jazz

Good 70s rock

Bit harsh but overall interesting

Perfect for driving through the Scottish countryside

One great single, mildly annoying

Lots of samples

RIP Ozzy

Objectively good, not really my thing compared to other jazz/funk type stuff

So dep and gravelly

Enjoyed the arrangements, sax piano flute added to folk

Original vibes, pre-sample sounds, cool time capsule

One of Janice's favs. I like their early work. Still great

I need to listen to more Bowie

Wish this popped up when we were in Dublin last week

Had low expectations but really enjoyed it. Funky and musical

Somehow sounds both old and modern

It’s fine. He needed the other Beatles

Nostalgic and one of the surprisingly best live shows at ACL fest

Bit of a shrug. Decent and can see how it was a stepping stone for new sounds

Everything I don't like about metal music

Like a B+ on a neutral listen. Pretty vanilla and mainstream sound for supposed indie rock. No one likes it more than Brandon Flowers

The overplaying of radio tracks downplays the excellence of the album as a whole

70s detective/buddy cop theme music. I swear several songs are used in movies.

Interesting sound for a bridge album from 90s pop to indie pop

Not surprised to really enjoy this one. Tons of comparisons to indie/alt bands over the years sinces

Kind of experimental. Unexpected wordlessness
