1001 Albums Summary

No idea that Respect was an Otis Redding song! Or (I can't get no) satisfaction! So many good oldies.

Three BANGERS surrounded by a lot of forgettable songs. Overall a little disappointing.

Appreciate how dynamic the album is and the overall musicality, but the style of music isn't for me

Enjoyed it, not many songs but got to hear some of his personality.

This album ripped - high energy, some great bass lines, generally awesome

Phenomenal vibes throughout. Great album.

Good, laid-back 90's rock vibes, but no standout songs, overall a little "meh"

Love the production on this album - sometimes I feel like I'm in the room with them, sometimes super trippy use of the stereo space. First 5 star album of this list.

Great vocals, but overall not for me

What the heck was that? Love the Bee Gees but this was rough - they should stick to disco. Some songs felt like a joke.

Really good - not quite 5 stars though, some songs just kind of drift into the background.

Bopped my head along the whole time, but just still not a huge rap fan.

Eh

Really cool album - started off a lot better than it finished. Liked the upbeat songs. What the heck genre is this?

Too chaotic - didn't even know when it changed songs.

no

Really good, little weird, but in a good way

Liked this much better than expected. All over the place but overall very cool.

Very solid but no major standouts. Feel like I can't put less than a 4 though.

The Offspring rips. The last 5 min of silence is a little odd though.

Recognized way more songs than I expected. I can appreciate how good this album probably is for this genre, but just not my vibe. Don't think I could listen to it again.

Singing was a little too weird to me, some interesting rhythms going on though. Won't be listening again.

Eh. Didn't hate it didn't love it.

Just a solid 80's rock album. TV dinners was a little odd.

He is unreal. Really wish he lived past 27.

Not usually my vibe at all, but really enjoyed it. Just loved the old school sound. Bobbin' my head the whole time.

Good background music. Don't need to listen again.

Phenomenal album, but like a few others of theirs just a bit better.

Really fun and jazzy. Some incredible keys

Good but didn't love. Sometimes think John tries to be too deep.

Really short - some fun songs

Honestly couldn't finish it. It was fine, but just wasn't dynamic enough for me. The little weird bass solos kinda threw me off too.

Eh

Really enjoyed it

Pretty solid - several recognizable songs that I didn't know were them.

Very vibey, felt like I should be high

Such a game-changing album. Harmonies are incredible. Just a few slow areas to not make this a 5.

Put me into concussion protocol from all that head banging.

Started off as a 4 but then slowed down quite a bit for me.

Not horrible, but just bored and couldn't finish.

Weirdly really liked this, but keeping at a 3 just because I don't see myself throwing this on again.

Pretty fun album

Not horrible but just couldn't make it through - too much just hyping up and not enough song

Think I'm a Go-Go's fan

Loved this. Like a folky Led Zeppelin with an upright bass.

Some of his lines just blow my mind.

Eh. Perfectly fine. Just nothing really jumped out at me. Never will feel the need to listen again.

Wanted to like this more than I did - Hallejullah (?) was beautiful, some other good songs, but honestly was putting me to sleep a little

Solid - Me and Julio is an all time great

What the

Solid! Liked the mix of classic rock and country

Pretty solid - don't know if I'd listen again though? Going with a 3 but it's very close to a 4.

Really good but no super standout songs besides Sympathy. Not sure why I don't listen to the stones a lot.

Very good, just not sure I can put it above a 3 being all covers.

So good.. So close to a 5 but I'm just thinking of other albums I consider 5s and don't know if I can justify this one. Sorry Elton.

So good again - very high 4

Could vibe out to this anytime.

I always want to love this album, but for some reason just can't outside a few songs. Prince is a guitar wizard and love watching his live performances, but it doesn't come out in his songs here. I understand how legendary this album is, but I think it may be a little too pop-y for me.

Cool punk album but wore on me after a while because all the songs sound the same.

A little slow and no standout songs, but pretty enjoyable. Kind of fits in with the modern folk/acoustic/country crossover genre that I never know what to call.

A little too experimental for me

Good background music, but a little sleepy for me

Kind of cool but her voice quickly got annoying

Not my usual music, but really enjoyed this. Good fusion of different genres.

Ozzy kicks ass. RIP. Needed another 5 star on this list.

Awesome album - thought this band was way older. Crazy vocals.

Was okay with it on in the background but couldn't finish - not my vibe. Some good songs mixed in though.

Ladies and gentleman we have another 5 star! How have I not listened to this full album before? One of the best guitar albums I've ever heard.

Some of the songs were cool - made me feel like I was in a bourne movie or something. But holy cow I can't listen to that much instrumental/electronic music. Falling asleep so quitting on the album.

Some good music, singing was a little too weird for me, overall didn't love

Officially deciding that I don't need to listen to a whole album if I'm bored and have heard enough to get a full vibe, maybe at least 3 songs. This album has a very specific spooky punk vibe that I don't know if I'm feeling on a Friday afternoon. But very unique and I bet the live show in the 80s would've been electric.

Super solid blues album. Love the old timey live blues sound.

Mrs. Robinson is great.. the rest was a little sleepy for me.

Loved this - definitely an inspiration for Sturgill's "Ballad of Dood and Juanita"

Sometimes I listen to music and think that I cannot imagine how anyone goes to a concert and listens to this for 2-3 hours straight and then I remember drugs.

Weird in the right ways but don't necessarily need to listen again

Perfectly average - wild for how soon after Rumours this was made.

So much chaos, but kind of cool

Just a little too odd for me

Really solid album - just missing that special sauce to knock it up to a 4

Such a cool band. Need to listen to them more.

This album has a special place in my heart - one of my all time faves. One of the first songs I ever tried to record a cover of with all instruments and do all the mixing was "Is This It".

What I would give to have seen Jim Morrison live - that dude lived hard

Some of it was really cool. Liked a lot of the bass/drum grooves. But the talk singing got to me after a few songs. I know this band/album inspired a lot of rock and punk though.

Pretty dynamic album - killing me softly is great. Enjoyed it overall even though I'm not usually a hip hop fan.

Such a cool, weird, unique album. Good blend of electronic and real instruments, and awesome harmonies through the whole thing. Never heard of these guys before but I dig it.

Enjoyed it but sheesh it gets dark

Could not stop bobbing my head

Whoa, only knew one song, but this album kind of ripped. Never heard of these guys before.

Couldn't listen to the whole thing. Just kind of odd

Pretty solid, few forgettable songs, but a few bangers

Ginger Baker is incredible. 15 min drum solo? why not

Very good, but I found myself getting bored for some reason.

Cool background listening music

Very punk and raw, cool but kind of all sounds the same

Enjoyed and has a couple classics but don't know if this is 4 territory for me

Awesome blues album - feel like I could throw this on anytime

Cool to hear the sax intro on Sledgehammer that Mark Rivera wrote (I KNOW HIM). Otherwise, I don't know if I'm the biggest Peter Gabriel fan.

Seems like this was probably a significant album, but don't know that I need to listen again necessarily.

Too weird and goofy. Probably rating lower because I expect more from the who

Cool sound but the first 4 songs sounded very similar so I quit on it

Thriller to Beat It to Billie Jean is insane. Also the Beat it guitar riff and Billie Jean bass line are absurdly iconic.

Pretty good background music - probably won't listen again though

Just odd.

Not my vibe at all

Vibes are cool - don't need to listen to a whole album of it.

Had me groovin' a bit

Pretty cool - different than expected

Kind of all mushed together in one song

Cool dark vibes - bonus points for cool band name and album cover

too weird, but did a good job of creating a very specific creepy environment

Not sure I get the Talking Heads - liked it enough though

Super cool vibes, especially in the background while working. Some of it felt like a movie soundtrack.

Not feeling it - cool sounds but didn't hold my interest

Perfectly fine - some fun listens, nothing spectacular

This album ripped

Holy long album. Enjoyed it though. Not outstanding though.

Nah

Heck yeah that was awesome. RIP Chester

didn't love - unique vibe but couldn't finish it

Hating this, giving up 4 songs in

Never heard of this guy, didn't know he sang the coconut song, but really enjoyed this.

Incredible, very trippy, some very cool bass lines that I never noticed until this listen

Putting me to sleep unfortunately. Think I'd like it more if I was more of a lyrics guy.

Very good - bummed I missed Paul at Coors field

Almost drew me back in with the fourth song, but then went back to being bored

Incredible - have to skip around all the duplicates and not-full-production songs - makes it way too long

Pretty good - just feel like a poser listening to dr Dre lol

4 might be crazy here comparing to other albums on this list, but I really enjoyed this. Also "the mother we share" really throws me back to the early days of Spotify - one of the first songs I found through Discover Weekly.

Pretty solid - flirting with a 4. Really like the rain song

Really great - just a few slow points that drop it to a 4, but close to a 5

Between a 3 & 4 here. Cool grungy dynamic album, with some dissonance and weird sounds thrown in at times. Don't feel a strong need to relisten so probably going with a 3.

Honestly pretty good for dance/electronica (not my usual listens) but hard to listen to a whole album of it.

Hadn't listened to this one before - very good

don't know why I haven't listened to more Bruce

Never heard of these guys, but enjoyed the album

Think I'm a big Van Morrison fan

Think I'm just not the biggest U2 fan for some reason, but still enjoyed the album

Whoa - so good. Why have I never really listened to Jeff Beck?

This probably a biased 5 because they're one of my favorite bands, but gosh it's good

Very whimsical and at times musical-sounding album

Great album to vibe out to, but got a little bored

Fun rock/indie electronic type album - kind of liked the OG heads will roll better than the remix.

Pretty good, would listen again, but I liked his other album on this list better.

Cool and experimental, but I was not feeling it - a little too weird maybe

Another snoozer

Love this

Keith Moon is a beast.

Pretty good - just kind of sunk into the background for me.

Wow - wasn't expecting a 5, but this was almost a Greatest Hits level album. Knew almost every song, and the ones that were new were great.

Think this may have just became my favorite Dylan album - maybe a hot take?

Was only able to listen to some of the songs from a playlist on spotify, but really enjoyed it. Perfect for a snowy day at home.

Never heard of these guys but loved this

Not sure I'm the biggest fan of this spooky sounding rock genre - there's been a few albums like this on this list

Fine - didn't feel the need to listen to the whole thing

I don't think I get Radiohead

One of the greats, but unfortunately has a few songs that lose my interest

Some enjoyable songs, sometimes boring.

Very raw and energetic

Something tells me I'd like Joni Mitchell more if I was more of a lyrics guy.

That was great - the basslines really drew me in.

Actually kind of nice ambient noise for reading through specs at work, but will never listen again.

Fun album! (3)

Good stuff

Eh. Another kind of spooky vibes album, but 60's.

not sure I'm a Bowie guy

Christmas music. Fantastic.

Really funky jazz thing going on here - enjoying it, but putting me to sleep a bit at work. Hopefully remember to come back to this one.

Really enjoyed this. Very instrumental. Some of the drumming was fantastic - production sounded really nice on them. Favorite track was "Does anybody really know what time it is"

Wasn't really for me - liked some parts of songs, some interesting riffs, some cool atmospheric sounds, but really don't need to listen again.

Loved this. The distorted guitar paired with the soft but screamy vocals is a cool combo. Don't know why I haven't listened to more smashing pumpkins. Cherub Rock and Hummer were two of my faves - Today is also great.

Non-stop raw energy. Would give anything to go to a sex pistols concert in their prime. Top songs were Pretty Vacant and God Save the Queen.

Fun, vibey album. Don't normally like these mostly instrumental electronic albums, but was headbopping through a lot - great while working. But couldn't quite make it the full hour. Need to listen to before I die? No

Thought it was pretty consistent and enjoyed it enough, but kind of all blurred into one song for me.

Started off great and then got a little too messy and weird, averaged it out to a 3

Made it through 3 songs then got sleepy.

Pretty chill and slow, but in all the right ways. Highly enjoyed it. First song, "Walk On" might've been my fave.

Very good. 4. Beatles-esque.

Really enjoyed that - Beatles-esque with a little folkier spin. No songs necessarily stood out above the others, though. (4)

Very smooth relaxing album - kind of gave Christmas vibes. Liked it but didn't love it.

I really don't know titles of Oasis songs. Knew a ton of songs on here, but would have never remembered their titles. Really good, but made me realize how similar Oasis songs all sound.

Very raw and energetic and grungy. Didn't feel the need to listen to the whole thing. The album title is very appropriate.
