1001 Albums Summary

couldn't get into it

some solid songs. too deep in association with ex

some good. most just okay

didn't like the lyrics but the music is a vibe

a very cool bridge between their earlier rock/alt sound and what evolved into the masterpiece of Kid A

it's a banger. great for dancing, great for parties, great for dance parties!

meh not my thing

pretty good. it's got a few of his #1s on it

I really like this. my french is rusty but I dig the beauty and theatricality of it

rave music

trip hop but not as good as Portishead

just okay. not dazzling

very "tom waits" of you

top 10 album

classic

it's just okay. good but not spectacular

gonna be honest, I don't really like most Eminem. there's like 2 or 3 songs I like and none of them are on this album

great beat but not keen on the content

it was okay

I actually really liked this. way different than what I usually listen to

never reaches the power and passion of Rumours. other than the song Tusk, it wasn't very memorable

no

love doo wop. so bouncy and dancy

I don't like Beck. it exemplifies 90s California rock along with Red Hot Chili Peppers. Where It's At is the standout

classic classic rock. has a few bangers and the rest are respectable

I like most of it if I don't listen to the lyrics too hard

hard to rate this one as it evokes specific feelings and basically defined the 90s. there's some things I like and some things I don't. if a partner put this album on while we were alone, I would consider it a red flag

I don't think I've ever listened to a Joy Division album all the way through but I really liked this one. it was a bit same-y but I liked it

I liked this even though I would call it eclectic. the samples, the lyrics, the pacing felt disjointed when I focused on each, but altogether each track was unique and interesting. not something I'm going to seek out, but I appreciate it

started off a little weak but it gets better. some solid songs too

nothing about this album appeals to me.

I actually like this. it's not terrible but there's nothing standout here either.

good not great

I don't have any context for this

I just don't like it. I know I know. It's like an amazing classic of hip hop. Iconic. Influencial. I just don't like listening to it. I like the song Fight For Your Right, but the rest just doesn't do it for me.

not really my thing but I actually enjoyed some things about it. the music was varied and interesting. I wouldn't listen to the album all the way through, but it was interesting for this project.

I enjoyed this a lot. There were many noises with a good beat. Solid

This has one of my favorite songs of all time on it: Audience with the Pope. Otherwise a solid album but not anyting super impressive.

This was just okay. Her distinct voice shines, but the songs aren't good. Her second album is magic.

I didn't enjoy this. I know that's a cop out review. The beat is great and dancey, but I can't give 2 shits about whatever he's rapping about. Also rap skits are universally cringe.

Pretty standard post-Beatles Brit rock pop. It does lean in to the more psychedelic sound, but I didn't hear anything that wow'd me.

This is a pretty solid album, and I think more would've gotten to hit status if it wasn't for the plagiarism controversy.

ZZ Top is so deeply connected to my ex husband for me that I genuinely cannot enjoy listening to them. I guess it's been enough time because I didn't HATE listening to this album, but I still wouldn't specifically seek it out.

I like Britpop. I like folk. I like electronica. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't really like this. This feels like something that people who listen to Ani DeFranco would like. I don't like Ani DeFranco.

I really like this. still hits just right and I like the deep nostalgia of it. not something I'll necessarily seek out but I like listening to it when I encounter it

not really my thing. not a huge fan of dad rock, and this is really indicative of that sound.

I've never heard of this band, so I was excited that this might be an album by a rock group lead by women bc of the cover but it was the 70s so it's just dude rock. This list greatly underrepresents women artists. That's not really Roxy Music's fault though. I found this album to be mid. Nothing stood out to me, but it wasn't unpleasant either. The lyrics were a whiplash going from songs about religion to love songs to break up songs. It was exhausting in a way that didn't leave me satisfied. Also, I just generally want to leave religion out of my rock music.

One of the greatest albums of all time. I could (and did) listen to it on repeat.

Interesting that I got this the day after Brian Wilson passed away. I liked this so much more than I was expecting to. A lot of it is different than the Beach Boys typical sound, and the subject matter is so progressive and deep. I'm familiar with Pet Sounds of course, but I think I like this more.

I don't hate this but I don't love it either. enjoyable to listen to but nothing quite grabs me

not like a standout but also not bad. nothing hit super hard but it wasn't unpleasant either. not sure it deserves a spot on this list but also I might be missing context

I thought I had the wrong album at first because it was so short. 2 songs at under 40 minutes. Apparently that's right though. It was okay. Not really my thing.

love love love. music as a grounding experience. music to increase awareness of self.

I don't really like Rod Stewart. I think the music is interesting - a blues rock I hadn't really noticed before. But his voice sounds like what chewing on plastic wrap must feel like. The music is good and then bam uncomfortable. This album has my favorite of his songs - Maggie May. Oh to be shacking up with a beautiful woman so intriguing that you want to cancel all other commitments and stay in bed. I really hated the cloyingly slow rendition of Amazing Grace in the middle of the album. Music jump scare and a huge misstep.

I don't know how I feel about this. No one song stuck out. I like it more than the first Tom Waits album I listened to. But I don't think I would ever just listen to this album or any one song on it.

I hate Bob Dylan's voice and "singing." There are maybe a few songs I find okay, but I tend to like covers of his songs more than the originals. He's like if the Beatles weren't clever or wholesome. Or if Zeppelin wasn't cool. Or if the Stones weren't edgy. Okay music, okay lyrics, terrible voice. Too much harmonica. By far the worst song is the degrading and tone deaf Just Like a Woman. Shut the fuck up man.

I mean, I knew who Willie Nelson was, knew his big hits, and love country/folk/American music. But this? It hit me how much I dismissed Willie Nelson. These covers are unique but immediately recognizable. I think this has convinced me that he's a great musician. I'll listen to this again and again.

ah so smooth and dance-y. I don't know what the lyrics mean but it makes me want to dance!

Message in a Bottle is the standout. Every other song is very forgettable. At least it's short.

I liked this a LOT. Nothing I didn't like about it honestly. Perfect jazz album.

I was ready to give it 1 star and move on, but after the first song it's just...not terrible or anything. there's certainly a vibe to it. a sweaty, stinky, uncomfortable vibe that takes me back to like high school football games. it smells bad but it also smells American teenager rebellion so you know it smells our kind of bad. I know they're from the UK so don't @ me.

I didn't really like this, to be honest. I mean it certainly has a sound, but it's not a sound I want to spend my time listening to. It's like jangly.

fantastic album. big talking heads fan and this has all the catchy weird beats and words I love from them

not for me

okay I like this a lot! Who-inspired in the best way possible. I don't know if I would seek it out, but maybe I will

I've always felt a bit meh on the Beastie Boys despite their seemingly universal regard. this album was super fun to listen to with a good beat, but I don't think I would seek it out specifically

not a Hendrix fan even though I know he's a rock god and all. I find his singing to be unique but monotonous. I know his playing is supposed to be important and interesting but it's just not something I want to listen to. I like All Along the Watchtower.

literally never heard of the Waterboys before today, but I think they're great! I'm a big fan of folk rock so this hit with me. I gave it 3 stars because I feel like song-to-song the quality is inconsistent and the double disc album is waaay too long. they could've given us a tight 10-12 and it would've been much better. best song is We Will Not Be Lovers

I liked it

this album feels inconsistent to me. I probably have expectations that EWF are all dance all the time, which I'm 100% here for (sad dancing is a thing!). but this album has a few dance songs and mostly not dance songs including one sermon/spoken word track that I skipped on my second listen.

I thought that I knew and like Ryan Adams, but after listening to this samey-boringness, it turns out that I only like the Ryan Adams album Easy Tiger. this album was so boring, I didn't favorite and couldn't even distinguish a single song even though I love country/folk rock and Americana music.

I went into this with an open mind despite the fact that my ex was super into the Dead and I pretty much always hated when she played them and associate them strongly with her. but I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, I don't think it's good and I wouldn't intentionally seek out listening to this but they had some great moments and it was certainly a vibe. I could see how you would want to sit in the grass and trip at a show with this playing in the background

listening to this album bumped my anxiety up to 11. I can tell it's good. I don't know what it is, but I don't think I'd ever be willing to listen to this intentionally

I didn't enjoy this. I like sad, bleak music but this was kind of on another level bc it was sad, bleak music that wasn't nice to listen to

I liked it! I've never heard the album or artist before. it was a little same-y throughout, and I didn't think he was saying anything revolutionary but I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't really enjoy this. the first few songs were nice and polished, but at some point it stops being music and starts being noise. it wasn't bad but I wouldn't seek it out

I've heard this album before and very strongly associate Van Halen with my ex-husband who was a big fan (mostly of Van Hagar). I don't like David Lee Roth or his voice, but the result being this album is classic. it is THE classic rock and is one of the original sounds of the time. it's entertaining to listen to and I usually don't turn it off when it comes on. however, I don't seek out listening to it and so for that reason, I give it a 3. Best track: You Really Got Me Worst track: Jamie's Cryin' and On Fire are tied for last place

I don't normally like love albums but this was spectacular. hilarious chatter, entertaining music, special guest June Carter. Johnny Cash had so much charisma

all in all, I really enjoyed this. I'm more familiar with later Belle & Sebastian but this is clearly the start of their later magic. I found it more inconsistent than their later stuff but still good. Best track: She's Losing It Worst track: Mary Jo

I really like this, but I'm struggling with how to rate it. like, it's entertaining to listen to and very cool indeed. musically delicious and satisfying at the same time, would I ever seek this out as something to listen to? jazz rarely fits into my life so how I typically rate albums on here (how likely I am to relisten) doesn't work on this as well. I landed on 4 stars because it's pretty much a 5 star album that I don't want to listen to

I did a presentation on CCR for a college music appreciation class as an example of southern rock (bc of their sound; I know they're from California). the day before my presentation was scheduled, I fell and hit my head resulting in a concussion. considering it was my very first semester at college, I went into my class the next day, concussed, and gave what probably was a very strange presentation that I remember none of (I was prepared tho). my prof graded me an A but told me that he would've rescheduled my presentation bc of the concussion. I've loved CCR ever since and this album is no exception. perfect everything. an American, southern rock Beatles

I liked this well enough, but I seek out triphop and lofi so this is right up my alley. the vibe was good and dancey in that slow, flow way that I enjoy. I added 2 songs to my liked songs playlist so this gets 4 stars. Best songs: Squares and Human Being

this is pure early grunge, but it's not interesting or satisfying to listen to it. there were some okay sounds but the songs were indistinguishable so I didn't have favorites

I liked this a lot

this is just okay. very same-y all the way through

nostalgia might be influencing me here, but I really enjoyed listening to this. so many hits I remember from the 90s. they were a monster then even though I've never listened to this full album before now. it's great though

every song is too much and not enough

I like this a lot. I like the music, the vibes, the flow. everything is pretty good, but I still consider it a 3 star album objectively. I do think the vocals could be more interesting and the lyrics are okay. I bumped it up to 4 stars bc I am likely to listen to this again, even with it's flaws

hmm. got a Beach Boys album the day after Brian Wilson passed. got a Sabbath album the day after Ozzy passed. what is the universe saying to me? I've never listened to a Sabbath album all at once and all the way through. perhaps that dates me. I can see why these are the guys though. everything is good. I will say that Iron Man is overhyped and overplayed. also, the front half of the album is much better than the second half. still a classic. still a good time.

Elvis Costello is so popular and yet this was boring. lyrics were boring or insulting, music was boring or annoying, and I just didn't feel anything about these songs. there were maybe 2 songs that I wouldn't change if they came on

excellent album! so many great hits and the unknowns are solid

Oh boy. More Bob Dylan

I like most of this. I don't know enough about funk to know how to talk about it but this is entertaining and I would listen to it again for sure

I love The Who but I feel like this live show as an album falls flat. probably was great in person

I have mixed feelings about this album. it's certainly an experience but it falls flat in a number of ways. it's like that kind of artist that doesn't really sing when they're performing but instead speaks musically. I don't have a lot of examples of that that I like. there are few interesting and solid songs but everything is quite same-y. I like her cover of working class hero even though she is no such thing. Best: Broken English and Why'd You Do It

at first, I was like "why is this guy's voice so familiar??" and then I remembered his most famous song Red Right Hand. the name "Murder Ballads" is 100% accurate for this album. weird how incredibly accurate it is. this album is most songs that I feel like are a great example of toxic masculinity. in a hating women way bit also in a like look at how cool I am way. which means I rate this very low. shout out to a toxic bi-icon in Stagger Lee. I wish I liked it more.

weird but very enjoyable. it was a rollercoaster from good to bad and back again. overall positive feelings.

I LOVE DAVID BOWIE a lot of this album is like if David Bowie was doing his Talking Heads impression. and since I love both David Bowie and the Talking Heads, it really works for me.

this is familiar to me but quite boring

I liked it. made me want to hear more from this artist

it's certainly soul. some very recognizable songs and covers. but it was boring. a classic but boring to listen to. I feel like it would be perfect for like dinner party ambiance

perfect timing!! I'm literally going to Chicago tomorrow! anyway this was okay. I mean, I get the gimmick that they can make their instruments sound like traffic and then name the album "transit authority." I don't think that's something that I'm just dying to hear again there were some solid hits early in the album, but those are well known. everything else was really on the line between prog (which I despise) and jazz (which I don't have strong feelings about). I'm not going to listen to the full album again, but I put a few of the popular songs on some like 60s and rock playlists

catchy. I liked every song

this is so entertaining to listen to, even if I have no clue on what's being said

I like the David Bowie mix better. it's more focused and palatable. I know some may consider that a negative but I can't listen to the other versions

I like the song Imagine. it's kind of inconceivable that it came from John Lennon alone when you look at the rest of the songs here. everything else is meh

I couldn't get into this. it was just okay

I like this but don't think I can listen to it like this again. I even like ambient music but there's not enough meat here for me to enjoy it on repeat

I fucking hate prog rock. don't waste my time with this being one of the top 1001 albums of all time. I don't think this is in the top 1 million albums of all time

I love country and honky-tonk music but overall this just doesn't hit for me. I like Streets of Bakersfield. that's a good one. otherwise it's a pass from me. not bad just not something I want to listen to again

I love David Bowie! I feel like this is my least favorite album of his. I'm reading in other reviews about the strong influences of Brian Eno on this one. it's like the lyrics and voice are definitely Bowie - although even in that not his best work. and the music is not Bowie. you could've put any artist on top of these tracks. it was so disjointed. but then there's one of my favorite songs of all time - Heroes. it was the only good track on the album to be honest

These songs were played at every prom in 1988, which I love as a vibe.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Alice Cooper was always shock rock, but other than School's Out, there's a lot of non-shock-rock variety. Blues that's theatrical, lyrics that are thoughtfully constructed, and generally good music. Solid album "It tastes like roses on your breath But graveyards on your soul" goes so hard in Blue Turk.

I like Arcade Fire, and I like this album okay but the religious allusions in this album fall flat for me. not bad, but there's not a lot that I'll seek out specifically

this is fine. nothing standout and nothing egregious

my older brother was so into Prodigy when we were growing up. he would play their album in his car on the way to school and in his car on the way home from school and from his stereo when we were at home. it was the next album though "Fat of the Land" that I've heard a billion times. this one came out before, but the sound is very consistent between the two. that is to say familiar in a familial way but not something I seek out for myself generally. it's really danc-y though. I think I had forgotten that. also they wear more eyeliner than I do

It's weird to me that Led Zeppelin is considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. I mean, not weird. I get it. Weird words, good music, tons of eccentricity, etc. And maybe this is even their masterpiece or whatever, but I don't seek out listening to them. It's great music, but it doesn't stick with me like I need it to to give it 5 stars. Perhaps that's a personal failing, which I accept.

I get what he's doing here, but it doesn't land for me. Something about white dudes from California satirizing Southern racism is tough for me to get into. Otherwise, there are some catchy songs, and I don't hate it all. Solid 3

I listened to both - the album on Spotify and the one on YouTube. They do sound very different, but I don't have a strong preference either way. I did like the actually album, but I don't have any way to consider the context when it came out as it's apparently very influencial but sounds like a lot of stuff I'm more familiar with.

it's okay. I found out they're all covers of 50s songs so that's why a lot of them are familiar, but there's nothing here that really wows me

I find this to be quite boring

I really like this! sometimes I want a soundtrack and this is an amazing one for so many things - a montage of shopping scenes, an intriguing introduction at a bar, a home invasion, walking through a casino. this is music to romanticize your life to!

it's okay. I wouldn't seek it out

I was expecting more from this trio. I guess it's in line with country music at the time, but I didn't know this existed until it was assigned to me today and I am underwhelmed

aptly named although leaning more toward sad

I like this, but it's not my favorite U2 album. several of their hits and a great sound for them overall but some of the tracks fall flat to me

solid tracks with some filler. I don't know how Love of My Life isn't one of their biggest hits bc it's just so good and full of drama and heartache. drama is what Queen does best

I ended up really liking this. I've never heard any of these songs before, but they all had that easy familiarity that draws me in. Nothing incredibly standout for me, but nice to listen to.

I've never heard this before, but I really like it. I love electronic music. Although I'm not a huge fan of sampling speaking over music, this really worked for me. It wasn't super polished, but I would definitely listen to it again.

this was 3 discs and hard to listen to all the way through. I like The Who but I don't really like Tommy. there's something scary about it to me and everyone I've said that to kinda looks at me weird but it's true

I like Bjork's lyrics and music, but I can't get into her voice. I think I'd rather listen to covers of Bjork's songs than the artist herself

I liked this for exactly 3 stars

there's so much jazz on this list. way more jazz than I've ever listened to in my life. I can't seem to get a feel for it. what's good jazz? what's bad jazz? I almost need a separate list of just the jazz and then I can do a jazz master class and maybe figure out the answers to these questions and more this is a kind of jazz that's also bossa nova, which it turns out I'm a huge fan of. actually, I don't know if bossa nova is like a subgenre of jazz but that feels right to me. this is a vibe, and I really like it. but it doesn't necessarily fit in to my day to day life

I hate everything about this

I've never heard of this band before this album was assigned to me. I liked this but I think the songs were too short. I mean, I know it's kind of their thing like they don't want to overstay their welcome or something but this swings too far in the opposite direction to me. like, the cool guy you invite to the party but he has half of a drink and makes an Irish exit 30 min later. it doesn't make him cooler. it makes me think he has anxiety so I stop inviting him to the party

so much jazz on this list. I liked it okay but it doesn't stand out to me

gods this is boring. dad rock at its rock bottom

again reminded that I love bossa nova music and will until my dying day. also women's voices. also songs in languages I don't speak. it checks all the boxes. this album is amazing and I cranked it up to listen to it over and over. it tickles my brain

this didn't really do anything for me. like beatles without the magic. off brand

fantastic. so glad I got to hear this

solid 2

I liked this but didn't love it

the ultimate 60s rock sound. so fun and entertaining to listen to

I really like this. Good beats and a unique sound. It's nothing super original, but it's dance-y and I'd listen to it again happily.

prog rock. this is not for me.

I don't like this

catchy songs that I recognized and enjoyed listening to

this is not for me

I had never heard this band before, but this is great! I mean weird and very 90s but I enjoyed it a lot. nothing quite stood out to me but I didn't enjoy it

close to a masterpiece but doesn't quite touch Kid A which is their best album. my love of Radiohead can't be understated or diminished. their music has gotten me through some pretty terrible situations and In Rainbows is what started it all for me bc I could download the album for free

this is weird but I actually enjoyed it. I think there's something really smart here but it's buried under layers of like 13 year old boy humor

A classic of the genre but dated to my ears in 2025. I really hate misogyny in rap music. I've never heard a good excuse for why it's so prolific other than it's cultural - which...isn't the argument they think it is. I won't listen to this again if I can avoid it. Rap skits are cringe.

this is not for me

This is the album of all time which includes the songs of all time. Frequently imitated never replicated. Close to perfect. I don't enjoy listening to it though.

lots of hits on this one. listening all the way through for the first time, and it strikes me that it's solid, but not every song is a masterpiece like other reviewers say.

yes to women-lead punk!

dad rock but I don't hate it

turns out I hate too much harmonica and this is mostly harmonica

I used to hate Pearl Jam because the reminded me so strongly of my ex. He listened to these songs over and over while we were in a relationship. Except, now that I'm listening to Ten front to back for the first time in so many years, I'm realizing that I independently like this so much. So many bangers. Eddie Vedder's voice is a bit much for me to consider this for my personal top 10, but it's so distinctive that it makes Pearl Jam what it is.

I know I'm not the target audience for KISS, but I don't find any talent or ingenuity or even fun in their songs. I like maybe 2 of their songs and neither are on this album.

I really went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars on this one. It's so cozy and lovely and full of optimistic and romantic love that it's hard to find flaw here. In fact, the only real issue I have is that there's only one sound and one theme throughout. But when you do one thing and do it well? 4 stars. Not 5 stars because, while immediately recognizable, I don't seek this out often and get tired of it easily.

This is great for what it is. I'm not super in to psychedelic music, but I can tell this is one of those influential and foundational albums for it. I don't ever want to just listen to this though.

my least favorite The Who album so far. the only good songs are Tattoo and I Can See For Miles

what a glorious experience of an album. it could have been 5 stars except that the later half was all covers in the FGTH style.

I'd never heard of Tortoise and was completely unprepared for it. I really like it! It's apparently postrock, which is a genre I don't know a lot about. I genuinely don't have anything bad to say about this. I like the variety, the soundscapes are broad and complex, and I'll definitely explore more of both their work and other postrock works.

I've never listened to music by The Cardigans other than their one-hit wonder Lovefool. Lovefool is kind of an anomaly on this album. There's a lot of Black Sabbath influence including a cover of Iron Man and some very Sabbath riffs in Choke. I don't hate it, but all of their other songs are sort of disappointing and overshadowed by Lovefool.

It's amazing to me that Foo Fighters is one of the biggest rock bands of all time. I hear the grunge and the alt and the rock influences in this album, but I don't think that it rocks. I've been reading up on the lore of this album: Grohl recorded every vocal and instrument, it was his therapy after Cobain committed suicide, he didn't expect it to be commercially successful but it was, and then he hired musicians, and launched into the stratosphere. I just don't really care because it doesn't rock. It doesn't move me. It doesn't make me excited or want to dance or want to cry or scream or anything. It's just sound with no heart or soul.

the music is great but something about the vocals just grates on me. the wailing, incomprehensibility of it means my brain can't land on it. now arguably, music is not always intended to make us feel comfortable and good and safe, which is why this gets 3 stars. I like the music but not the vocals, and the whole package certainly evokes something in me

I love this album. 60s psychedelic blues rock peak for me. I do think it suffers a bit from being repetitive

couple of solid songs and the rest feels very same-y

First two songs might've been a 3 or 4 but then the yelling and screeching in the rest of the album knocked it down to a 1. This is the kind of yelling and screeching that isn't artistic or unique or tells a good story. This felt like a band that wrote 2 okay songs, and then went - but we need 20 more minutes of content! And then screeched.

Somewhere between punk and The Cure lies Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen. More leaning toward The Cure really. In fact, they have a bit of the U2 sound in them. Also, I think they took the echo too hard. Every song is full of the echo, and I realize that's the band's name and all, but it seems excessive. This album is bleak, but I like bleak music. It's also full of witticisms that insist upon themselves. This is the kind of album that I remember talking to my ex husband about, and I'd be like "What does this even mean?" and he'd say "It's just poetry." Which I think was an excuse so that he didn't have to reflect on his feelings and impressions, but I find myself reading the lyrics of this album and thinking to myself that it doesn't really mean anything and that it's just poetry. I don't hate this, but I'm not sure it fits into my life.

Beautiful soul music, but I don't love the strong religious messaging of it. Other than Mercy Mercy Me, I didn't recognize any of the songs.

I love this. Goes from dance-y and upbeat to serious and back again. Lots of mentions of Chicago, one of my favorite places in the world. Common has been around for a long time, and he has it all: looks, wit, the voice, and acting. An all around star.

This is super solid 60s underground rock. Good production value, good songs, lush music. I really like this except for The Murder Mystery, which is a confusing addition.

This is GREAT. I've never listened to a Public Enemy album all the way through, but pretty much every track is a banger. By War At 33 1/3, I was a bit overstimulated, but that's on me because there's so much to take in with every track - music, lyrics, layers and layers of sound. Plus, the lyrics are still relevant today (unfortunately). I love hip hop/rap that leans on soul and doesn't have over the top violence or misogyny.

No one asks me what my favorite song is any more, but when they did, it was always a Bowie song. The Bowie song changed periodically, but it was always a Bowie song. For a long time, it was Changes. I love that song. If you put a gun to my head and told me to sing a song with no mistakes, this one would probably be in the running. This album also has a few other runners up: Oh You Pretty Things, Life on Mars?, and Queen Bitch. According to Spotify in this moment, I have 20 Bowie songs on my "Liked Songs" playlist, but only 2 or 3 from each album. Despite my unending love for Bowie, I don't often listen to full albums of his work. I've never listened to Hunky Dory all of the way through, but now that I am, I can say that it's all delightfully Bowie, but I'll stick with my 4 aforementioned standouts for now.

I was surprised to see I already had a Supergrass song on my liked songs playlist; it's their one big hit Alright. This album, In It For The Money, was indeed alright. I mean, it's 90s British alt rock. In It For The Money is actually a great name for the album because it's a broad sound, lots of influences (Bowie, Kinks, Smashing Pumpkins) but nothing too original or unique. I can't distinguish one sound to the next and nothing really stands out to me. Solid 2.5 stars, rounded down.

it's really hard to rate an album that's almost 70 years old. now, in 2025, musical and cultural context is so different than it was in the 50s. for consistency's sake, I can say that I didn't enjoy this album as much as I was hoping to. some of the songs and the sound was familiar, but I wasn't really wow'd by what I heard

it's not for me

I love this except it doesn't really feature Lorde's amazing voice. The range on the vocals is really narrow, and I think that's a shame.

I don't know how to rate this, but I don't enjoy it. I don't think it's bad, but I'm not planning to listen to it again.

I've never really listened to this group, but I really like this album! So dance-y and the vibes are fantastic. I can just have this on, and it makes me feel so good and keeps me focused. It's exactly what I wanted from a shoegaze album. I'll listen to it over and over.

I really struggle with Jimi Hendrix. He's a legend, imitated and covered often. He had a brief time in the spotlight, and his repertoire isn't large. He incorporated so many different sounds and view points into something new here. I recognized the outsized impact of his contributions on so many parts of the global culture. But I don't enjoy listening to it. I'm never like "Oh I want to listen to Hendrix today." So it's hard to rate that. 3 stars

The album Os Mutantes is so great. So many different sounds and variety of vibes included. They're like if The Beatles were Portuguese! Mostly great to listen to, even if I didn't understand a single word.

You know, going into this album, between the name of the band, the name of the album, the album art, and the overwhelmingly negative reviews, I really expected something else. Like, the people who gave >1 star all used the word "challenging" as if Throbbing Gristle like insulted their mom and slapped them with a glove. Anyway, weird responses from the 1001albumsgenerator participants aside, I didn't enjoy this album and wouldn't listen to it again. However, I don't hate it, and there are some interesting elements in the tracks. It's almost an injustice to call this music because it's closer to the art in engineering or something poetic like that. It's all intentional and not random noises. There's an emotional flow that you can tune into. It's just all unpleasant. The sophomoric name did grow on me. 2 stars

I was expecting to recognize at least one song on this because I consider myself a Stones enjoyer and know quite a bit of their music. I didn't recognize a single song though! Overall, I enjoyed this as much as I enjoy most blues rock, although I don't think it sounds like peak Rolling Stones and is very Americanized.

I like this okay until I got to the screaming guitars in Daande Lenol. Bumped down to 2 stars.

I friggin love this. THIS is why I'm doing this sisyphean task and wading through all of the mid Brit rock. I will listen to this album, artist, and genre over and over again. I've never heard anything quite like it. 5 stars hands down

I couldn't get into the vibe of this. I'm not a big fan of trumpet-focused jazz. It's almost like too much energy in the music, and I can never get emotionally or physically comfortable listening to it. I guess that's why some people like it, but it makes a bad experience for me. Guess this list just revealed something about me. Nice. 2 stars for self reflection through music I don't really like.

good reggae. I don't typically like reggae

I get this is like David Bowie or Talking Heads but it's also not fun to listen to

I liked this more than I thought I would, although I don't like prog rock other than Rush. It had some solid moments that rocked that would inevitably be ruined with their weird noises or meandering away from something great. There wasn't anything memorable for me, but again I didn't hate it so 3 stars.

Iconic album! These songs played on TV, radio, in stores, in movies, everywhere! Most songs are entertaining but some of them have aged poorly. I find that it's consistent with Beyonce albums that even within a single album, the song messages are wildly inconsistent. This is not a concept album!

nu metal more like ew metal am I right? drums are lit. the drumming alone gets them 2 stars

I don't know apparently this will get me drawn and quartered but I really like Rufus Wainwright. Yeah maybe he's pretentious but also there's something charming about his music.

While I can tell that for the most part this music comes from a very real and earnest place from the artist, to me it feels almost like a plastic replica of something great. It's cloyingly sweet or too polished or something. There are a few really good songs, but I feel mixed about it overall.

This album is fantastic. Her voice, her presence, her emotion. There's no voice like hers anymore.

solid Americana

Whoa I'm almost 250 days in and this is my first Beatles album assigned on this project. Neat! Anyway, I'm a fan of most of the songs on this album, and a lot of them were already on other playlists. I do think this moves a bit away from the sound that I like from them and the quality of songs is wildly inconsistent.

Apparently it's popular to hate U2, but I can't. There's something so entertaining about their music in every album. I know they aren't particularly masterful, but their sound is so iconic and the lyrics so heartfelt that I can't hate them. This is not my favorite U2 album, but it has a couple of really solid songs. Beautiful Day got me through some shit. Stuck In A Moment That You Can't Get Out, Walk On, In A Little While, and Grace are such gentle, hopeful songs. Definite and easy 4 stars

This is my first Stones album on this list. My past exposure to the Stones mostly concerns my mom playing 40 Licks (a greatest hits compilation) often on CD and their songs that are played on rock and oldies radio. This album is iconic somewhat because of the album art, which is polarizing and recognizable. Sticky Fingers has a couple of their great songs and the rest are just okay.

This is so good. I love the vibe of this album even if no individual tracks stand out to me.

I know a lot of other reviewers are focusing on Phil Spector being a murderer, but let's not forget that this is a white man who is presenting a complication of works by black artists. Now I don't know anything about the murder, and maybe Phil gave these artists a fair cut of the profits from this album, but if I had to guess, I'd say that he didn't. This is a pretty solid compilation of Christmas songs, only flawed by inclusion of several speaking parts. I really don't like speaking or recitations in music.

Terrible album cover. -1 star Everything else was surprisingly good. I found something to like about every track on the album. Maybe I'm showing my age, because this is that classic 90s sound that's rooted firmly in the 90s but also timeless and modern at the same time. The lyrics aren't outstanding or that groundbreaking. I recognized some of the songs from the radio (Novacaine For The Soul) and the Shrek soundtrack ofc (My Beloved Monster). But they did have that - again - specific alt-rock/pop 90s quality that I love. Would've been 5 stars except for the awful album cover. I added several of these songs to my 90s playlist.

I've heard some of Hot Chip's later stuff and had their two most popular songs on my Liked songs playlist, but I had never listened to an album all of the way through. I'm so glad that I did! This is the kind of music that touches all of the things I love: pop, beats, electronic sounds, random bird noises, thoughtful and repetitive lyrics. Dopamine hit after dopamine hit. I added a bunch of songs to various playlists so I can listen to them Over and Over and Over and Over.

Hey Ya is one of my top like 10 favorite songs of all time. I can hear all of the components of that banger in this album, but I just don't feel it overall. Every track is both overwhelming and unsatisfying. It's gotta be one or the other.

beautiful songs and such a mellow and calming vibe. I knew the first 2 songs but I had never listened to the full album

Listening to Coldplay is like listening to some very human-like robots or aliens or something. They were like "U2 is the biggest band in the world. Let's emulate that sound!" And then they proceeded to watch people's emotions that they themselves could not feel nor could they understand and then wrote songs to try to show that they both feel and understand the human emotions. Well, I don't believe them. I don't think any of the Coldplay bots have felt a single emotion, only read about or observed them. I don't think there's a single track on this album that I can point to as good or bad. It's primarily objectionable in that it's so milquetoast. It certainly represents a moment culturally though so 2 stars.

What a fantastic album. Truly this is the sound of my college days (dating myself). I listened to this album on repeat, and the first half is all on my Liked songs playlist already. It's a 4 star album because I like it so much, it has that good good nostalgia hit, and it's so easy to listen to over and over. It's not a 5 star album because the first half is just so solid and the second half doesn't meet the same quality.

There's good psychedelic music out there, but this ain't it. It's so boring and not even pretty to justify how boring it is.

Before I listened to this album, I thought I wasn't a Sabbath fan. But now I've listened to this album, and I get it. I mean, I've listened to Paranoid because of this project, but I like Vol. 4 so much more. It's deep, complex, varied, and just really solid rock.

Listening to George Jones takes me back to my dad's family who lived in rural Tennessee. It was the kind of music that they listened to on the radio and watched on their tiny antenna TV. As a kid, I found it boring and antiquated like listening to the old people singing in four part harmony in church. Now though, I appreciate the snapshot in time this music represents AND as a bonus, it's still fun to listen to.

This is ahead of it's time. Like the evolution of Sargent Pepper's, but like most psychedelic music, I don't enjoy listening to it. I'm sure there are many great themes in the lyrics, and the unique and genre-defying sounds flow into something clever and interesting, but I'm solidly in the camp of I like music that's nice to listen to.

This is fantastic. I know everyone regards Kendrick as 🐐, and this album makes it clear why. Even the skits are 🔥, and I tend to cringe at rap skits. Lots of dance-y tunes. Lots of deep lyrics. Fun features. Just all around good music.

I didn't think that Elton John rocked, but I was clearly wrong. Elton John FUCKING ROCKS.

Wow this album is getting a lot of hate. I really like it. The vibes are great, and I like music that I can just absorb. It does run together a bit, and I couldn't tell you any one distinct song that I liked. I did like the James Bond theme remix too.

This is such a mess. Pink Floyd, when you do cross-genre music, it has to be good. Like, I know this is like early-ish psychedelic music, but it's got like weird noises one minute, piano solos in random places, surprise singing or shouting, nonsensical lyrics. Do one thing well or a lot of things mediocre but not a lot of things terribly pls. +1 star for Lucifer Sam bc I'm interpreting it to be about an actual cat and I like cats

I genuinely don't know how to rate this, but it does inspire me to be brave so I'll give it 3 stars. I love a lot of country/western/folk/American music. I grew up in the American south listening to a lot of country. This album is like the foundational sound of the "western" in country and western music (which is it's formal name). But, as with so many albums on this list, as much as I can recognize something influential or foundational or stylized in this album, I just don't want to listen to it. Maybe one-off songs here and there, but listening to the entire album in a sitting was a bit painful.

Solid ABBA album. Lots of their hits and some of my favorite songs. ABBA exists in a weird place for me where I really enjoy listening to them, and I like a lot of the songs, but I don't want to just encounter them in my liked songs playlist or whatever. I have to be in the mood for most ABBA.

in the top 10 greatest albums of all time

ZZ Top is so strongly associated with my ex husband that listening to them makes me uncomfortable. I guess I don't mind their big hits, but I don't want to listen to it so 1 star. Based on the merits of the band and the album and not my residual emotional response, I probably would've given them a 2 or 3. The hits are hits and everything else is kind of meh.

This is so dance-y and peak entertainment. I recognize the big hits on this album, but every song is great and easy to listen to. I love girl group pop, but I've never listened to this whole album. I feel like I'm missing out. This is an easy 5 stars, but I will say that no one song stands above the others. This is an album intended to be listened to as an album from start to finish. That can be fun, but it's not always what I want.

I'm not big into 80s cock rock. There's not a whole lot for me here. It's kind of rock made by boys for boys and sometimes that can be appealing to an individual woman, but I'm generally not that woman. It sounds like David Lee Roth Van Halen, probably bc that was commercially successful. I don't like it though.

Ah classic 90s style rock/alternative. I even recognized a few of the songs or maybe recognized the vibe of the songs, but it was pretty good. The name of the album is clever, and I added a few songs to my 90s playlist. Solid

Oof this is getting a lot of hate, but I really like it. I mean, I like their two biggest influences - trip hop and synth pop. I had never heard of them before, but I put several songs on my naughty aughties playlist so I'll keep listening to them. I wouldn't say every song was a hit, and I do like more variety.

I don't really know how to rate this. I mean it's not terrible, but I don't want to listen to it. It's reggae, which I don't like in general. It's 80s music, which I do like in general. It's British, which I do like in general. It's the reggae that makes it something I don't want to listen to. I wish I could formulate better thoughts about this album, but I don't want to think about it anymore.

I just checked my history and this is my FOURTH Stones album. Crazy. My mom told me that when she was growing up in the 60s, you could either like the Beatles or the Stones but not both. You had to pick one. I'm like 90% sure she said she picked the Stones, but I remember listening to the Beatles a lot as a kid so who knows. Okay I just asked her, and she said she picked the Beatles, which makes more sense. Also why we got the 40 Licks compilation when I was a teenager, bc she knew some songs from the radio but hadn't really listened to them before. This Stones album is not it for me. Strong open, strong close, and just mush of British honky tonk in between. To be fair, You Can't Always Get What You Want is my favorite Stones song, but I'm underwhelmed by this album as a whole.

I enjoy a lot of nu metal music but not Limp Bizkit. I'm not sure who the intended audience is, but this band is so big. Is it the name and accompanying implied game? It's not a particular musicianship or clever lyrics or a charismatic lead singer. It's perplexed me since this album came out. The one song I can tolerate is the James Bond theme remix. That and it's cultural impact are the only things keeping this from being only 1 star. The best thing you can say about this album is that if you meet someone who names Limp Bizkit as their favorite band or this album as their favorite album, you can immediately treat that as a red flag for that person.

I love 80s music, new wave, synth pop, ambient music, Talking Heads, and David Bowie. So this album is absolutely in my wheelhouse. Actually, I can't believe I haven't heard this before, but it hits it all for me. Even the album cover - a candid-looking shot of the group filled with shadows and meaningful background - makes this an exceptional relic. I wish there was more.

I was surprised by this! This album had a lot of things against it. Jam band, live album, BUT the first few songs were such sweaty authentic blues rock that I was pleasantly surprised and excited to listen to more! Okay and then after the first few tracks it dissolved into the nonsense jam band live album snoozefest. Based on this album, if I'm rating jam bands: Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Phish. In that order.

I like a few songs by The Band, and I like country music. The album Music From The Big Pink really isn't anything special. It's very middle of the road in a lot of ways. Some good tracks, some boring tracks, some messy tracks. It's almost entirely unmemorable. I would give it 2.5 stars if we could do a half star rating so I'll just round up.

This album can't be rated, at least by me. Did I enjoy listening to it? No, not really. Do I think it's interesting? Yeah, I do. Will I listen to it again? Probably not. Did I pull out any tracks for playlists? Yeah, but it's my bday songs playlist. So I guess 3 stars. I did have the thought "Oh that sounds like Bjork." And then I read up on and felt accomplished but a little silly.

This album is great for Wordy Rappinghood and Genius of Love. I listened to the whole double album, but I have to say that it eventually faded into background noise. I really liked what I heard and definitely want to revisit it in the future.

I mean it's good music but the lyrics are a bit over the top. I get that's the point.

I like a few Rod Stewart songs but those songs aren't on this album

what a fantastic album. there's so much here that's novel. it's short at only 4 songs but it's also 45 min long!

This album was definitely ahead of its time! It has such a 90s vibe to it that I was astounded to learn it came out in the mid-80s! I recognized a few of the songs and of course the sound was familiar. In general, it wasn't really my cup of tea though.

Clearly a classic. Tons of songs that I recognize and were played on the kinds of radio stations that called themselves "soft rock" which is a lot of what my mom listened to in my formative years. That being said, I don't really like it beyond the hits I recognized. I'm probably too disillusioned with the 60s/70s hippie style to really enjoy this.

This is AMAZING. Why is there so much hate. There's so much variety, so much depth. I think there was something for me in every single track on this album. I felt it even without understanding the language. AND it was written in the 90s! It was ahead of its time!

so good

this is the best Björk album I've listened to on this list

I started listening to this album when it first came out and I genuinely couldn't understand a single word the guy said but I loved it anyway. I assumed it was in another language. I forgot about this album for years but it turns out that I now know - due to the beauty of Spotify lyrics - it is actually in English. Rocks either way

I revel in the weirdness

It's punk but like if you wanted punk that was the most punk-punk you've ever heard. I don't really enjoy it.

Dad rock that I don't hate actually. I wasn't alive at the time to understand why people hate the Eagles. I love the ballads. The titular track is an amazing story. Lots of high points here, even though it's not something I'd normally listen to.

Pretty great very dance-y. The lyrics were mostly positive and hopeful. I enjoyed this album but wasn't overly wow'd by it.

This hits a lot of the things I like - post-rock, dreamy, synth-y, but it didn't impress me or hold my attention. It's like overly emotional in the way that makes it feel performative. That sounds like terrible, meaningless criticism, but it's something I've found in a few albums on this list. Perhaps the emotions are authentic to the artists who contributed to the album, but to me, this feels plastic like a simulation of emotion rather than the emotion itself. It's nice to listen to and entertaining but too perfect, too polished, and inauthentic.

I hadn't heard of Elliot Smith before my ex played him a lot during our relationship. I like his voice, and a lot of his songs have that feeling of a very sad song set to somewhat happy sounding music. I also hear the Beatles influence and how Elliot Smith influenced Ben Folds a lot. There are a couple of stand out songs to me (Somebody That I Used To Know, Easy Way Out), and some that are annoying (Everything Means Nothing To Me). But I really struggle with a full album of such morose vibes. I know why his songs are full of depression, but I struggle with listening to a full album of it.

For what amounts to THE American album, I'm disappointed. There are only two good songs: Born In The USA and Dancing In The Dark. Wait, I'm detecting a trend here. Otherwise, the lyrics are shallow and the musicianship is lacking. Those two songs get us to 3 stars, and I wish it was better.

Classic Americana. For Dusty to put something out like this and to be so well-regarded is a feat for a woman at the time, even one as clearly talented as she is. I enjoyed the album as a whole, and I LOVE the song Son of a Preacher Man.

I loved this! Pure pop punk. Chrissie Hynde is a MOOD and a fashion icon.

I'm trying to push myself to respond to every album, but I have to say that's hard. I think I've heard The Stone Roses, but I don't think I knew who I was listening to at the time. I enjoyed listening to this a lot and added several songs to various playlists. While this came out in the 80s, it definitely sounds more like the 90s sound.

if you can believe it, I had never listened really listened to Kate Bush before Stranger Things. this album is a 3 but in a positive way

it's just okay. I prefer Jack White that has other people around to temper his Jack White thing

waste of an awesome band name on a terrible band

yo second Memphis album this week. M-town represent. This is low-energy, superstar Elvis. Not bad, but it doesn't quite have the magic that made him great when he was younger. More Frank Sinatra than the Beatles.

Love bossa nova music so this is right up my alley! This music clearly inspired so much Japanese city music that you hear in anime from the 80s/90s. In fact my immediate thought was Katamari Damacy music, which I love! A lot of the tracks have some strong 80s vibes, which makes sense bc they were released in the late 70s. They have that perfect maximalist 80s sound, borrowing from rock, pop, punk, minstrel music??, and jazz. Great album. I wish I could understand the lyrics.

I just don't like it. Something about his voice, or the way he performs. He butchered one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time for this album - Hallelujah. On paper, I should be his #1 fan but nothing about this lands for me.

I went back through Willie Nelson's discography while listening to this album because I've heard his popular stuff but not any of these songs. Something happened to him in the late 60s/early 70s, and he looks like a completely different person. Like he was a normal, basic white dude, and then one album later, suddenly he's fully Willie Nelson. Otherwise, this was nice but pretty generic old school country.

perhaps these guys are geniuses at the top of their game but I didn't enjoy this at all

Pretty standard 90s music somewhere between the chill synthpop of yesteryear and the shoegaze to come.

I really don't know how to rate this other than to say it was not at all what I expected and also was exactly what I expected. It's certainly not listen-in-the-background-while-working music, so that's biased my feelings about it. But I also wouldn't play it on a run or while doing laundry or while trying to unwind. So that basically leaves road trip music, and this excels in that.

dispite my heavy association of Jack White with my ex-husband, I really do love this album. almost every track is a banger

I don't know

the deluxe version is too much. the original was perfect

this dude's vocal fry makes this hard to listen to. it's like he's whining

My 3rd Nick Cave album?? I didn't even want 1 😭😭😭

damn I immediately got up and danced. so good

I can't. it's not Joan; it's me. I don't like her voice

perhaps the least objectional Bob Dylan on this list. I still don't like it my ex briefly went by Dylan as an homage to Bob. I should've known then that it wouldn't work out

Love David Bowie, and this project is really letting me dig in on his discography. Station To Station is such a solid album, even though Bowie apparently remembered nothing from recording it. Golden Years is one of my favorite Bowie songs. The later songs on the albums are a bit weak, but Station To Station and Gold Years make up the difference.

This was like if Talking Heads were punk and also sucked.

dance-y and fun to listen to! it wasn't exactly the right mood for my working day, but now I want to go to a party where this is playing!

every song on this album could be heard on my deep American south oldies station in the 90s

this album made me want to listen to Weezer

I like that the first song is a beat for cars.

What is there to say? It's iconic. It rocks. Not a single song is on my liked songs playlist.

tbh I wouldn't listen to this in any language

Not very primal. Not a lot of screaming. Still pretty entertaining.

Not the best REM album or my favorite one, but still solid.

I don't really know how to rate this. I know I say this a lot, but it seems that a lot of the 50s and earlier albums on this list bring it out of me. To my Millennial trained brain, this is so old that I'm like imagining the world in shades of sepia tones while listening to it. That being said, it has some pretty hard emotional bombs. Sometimes we can feel like we're the only ones experiencing longing or love or pining or heartbreak. But this album is proof that that's actually the default condition of humanity. I also didn't enjoy listening to it so 3 stars I guess.

I loved it all but the interviews at the end. Really puts the brakes on the party.

it genuinely just sounds like a drunk guy singing at a bar and I never want to listen to that

Albums like this make me question why I'm doing this project. 3 stars

Okay I get it now

This is like one of the biggest prog rock albums and bands of all time if not the biggest, but I just don't like it. I don't like prog rock in general, and this is foundational to that. The like radio single of these songs isn't bad.

Bad news wave/Britpop. I hated it.

Somewhere between David Byrne and Bob Dylan lies Nick Cave. After a few songs I realized that this was the Red Right Hand guy and then it all clicked. This double album feels like listening to the album to a rock opera that I haven't seen. Normally I like that, but in this case, his voice is like Bob Dylan nails-on-a-chalkboard-esc. The gravelly, whiny talk-singing isn't for me. It doesn't matter about the music or lyrics bc I can't get passed voices that make me grind my teeth. 2 stars, wish I could listen to this album covered by people who could actually sing

Beautiful and I love it. Instant 5 stars for depth and breadth and value. This album has beautiful soundscapes, and I listened to the whole thing probably 5 times in a row.

Perfect pop album. If I'd been a teen when this came out, I would've listened to it on repeat. I'm certainly not a teen any more, but I still listened to it on repeat!

Stunning and a perfect 5 stars automatically. Aretha puts herself in her music, and it's immediately better for it

I got a couple of perfect 5 star albums in a row and thought to myself "Self, what you really need is mediocre 60s/70s boy band rock." And the universe provided in the form of Crosby, Stills, and Nash's self-titled album. I'm somewhat kidding. I generally like folk rock, but this is bland. Some hits, some misses, and so similar to what else is on this list. Also I hate mustaches so

Ah it's like a modern old school crooner. I really enjoyed this! I wanted there to be rain and coffee while it was playing.

Very good for jazz. Like pop jazz.

someone said that this was music for suburban white girls born in the 90s which tracks. my ex who was all of those things introduced me to this band. that being said, I really like this album despite the association with her. it's got a unique sound

these guys missed what made Led Zeppelin sexy but decided to try to emulate it anyway. it's like I know Spinal Tap was satire of a bunch of different bands but I could almost believe that this was a similar parody band bc of how indistinguishable it is.

there's a trip hop continuum. on the left, we have hip hop and Red Snapper lives here. on the right, we have psychedelic and Portishead lives there. and the in the middle is Tame Impala. anyway, I like Red Snapper and this album a lot. I've heard their music some but didn't know who they were. that being said, I feel like they were somewhat unpolished so it didn't quite make it to 5 stars

have a funky friday

I was trying to figure out if this is rock or pop or pop rock. I think I landed on alt pop. I don't know if that's a thing or not. I really like Hounds of Love. I too was someone who didn't know Kate Bush until Stranger Things, but I'm glad it's getting the exposure it deserves now. I think there's some really smart, clever things in this album. I also think there are some things that don't land for me. I can't be more specific.

good music bad lyrics. a tragic waste

I have him blocked, which is a shame bc I used to really enjoy his music before all that stuff. Why can't I give 0 stars?

From the first lick I knew: this isn't for me. I've listened to the whole thing and concur with my initial impression. I wish this list had less 60s/70s music.

somewhere between Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash. I like folk rock but this doesn't feel like good folk rock to me

I don't hate this, but I do find it to be very bland. It's 90s Britpop boy band like Radiohead, Coldplay, and Oasis. Nothing super special or unique but it sounds so much like the time it originated in. I bet you could sing any of these tracks in karaoke having never heard them before.

I like Revolver, but it's certainly not my favorite Beatles album. That would maybe be Rubber Soul or Let It Be? This one is pretty good though. I do like the Beatles but not everything by the Beatles and I feel like Revolver included the seeds of what their sound evolved to but didn't have the same crunchy hooks of their earlier stuff.

til that this kind of rap is called boom bap. I like boom bap! this album was great! I've never heard it before but the beats were solid and I enjoyed listening to it. I'm not super into rap generally and I probably won't listen to it again

Appetite For Destruction came out when I was 3 so it's been with me my whole life. It has some absolute bangers and then some very weak filler tracks.

not my favorite CCR album but does have a few of my favorite songs of theirs on it. I do consider them to be southern rock cosplay bc they're from CA

this wasn't enjoyable to listen to

I love Dolly and her strong southern storytelling. When I hear people say they want to make America great again, I consider that I could only be on board if Dolly was the architect of that vision

They sound so much like The Beatles

I don't know that I've ever heard jazz organ before but this is definitely the best. I was surprised to see that Jimmy played the organ because the sax was the star of this album. I really enjoyed it!

enjoyed this but it's not necessarily something I would seek out

My older brother really really liked The Offspring and since it was his job to take me to and from school, I listened to them a lot (kind of against my will). They have a few solid songs (Come Out and Play and Self Esteem on this album). I would play a compilation of songs from each of their albums, but I could leave the rest of this album behind which makes this a 3 star album.

I don't like prog rock generally but I do like Rush specifically. It rocks but it's still weird. I can listen to it endlessly and just take the ride. That being said, this album has a few of my favorites from Rush and the rest are just okay. Solid 4 stars

This is so good. Soul, jazz, rock fusion. It's a mood, but one I'm not sure I'm always ready for. Like, I enjoyed it but wouldn't necessarily seek it out.

so good except long sections of just like random fucking noises

It started off okay and the more I listened to it the more annoying it got. Like a gnat buzzing around my head or something.

Uh it's like doing this project is basically reinforcing how much both prog rock and metal just aren't really for me. I listened to as much of this as I can stand because I think there's some interesting things happening musically, but the vocals are just so painful to listen to. Kinda the opposite of prog rock where I like the vocals/lyrics sometimes, but the music is not it for me. 🤔

It's like proto-bossa nova. It was hard to tell when this was recorded. Music like this is better live in a place where it's hot and humid, people are dancing, people are eating, and people are drinking. I didn't want to listen to this in my office while I was working. It felt out of place or I felt out of place because it's not the music's fault no one dances or drinks or has parties anymore.

I liked this album but nothing quite hooked me. It was good to listen to and I recognized a few songs.

I've heard a lot of Madonna but I had no idea she dabbled in electronica/trip hop! This is mind blowing.
