1001 Albums Summary

Couple of good party sounds.

An album of love songs The intro music allows one to enjoy before hearing the lyrics. Loving this so far!

No no no! I really think most of these songs should stay with the original singer. He doesn’t do much for them. I do like the harmonica though. I guess his die hard fans made this album popular?

I was disappointed by his blues. I expected better. I guess I’m used to his older raspy voice. I don’t hear the genius in this album.

Brought back memories with her sweet voice.

The first thing I thought was how they sounded a bit like the Who and Queen to me. Later I read that the Who denies any influence. Hmmm Anyway, not something I can to listen to a second time but interesting.

Love his songs but this would not be the album I buy. He is great alone or with CSN&Y!

One great song doesn’t make it for me.

Fun upbeat album!

So disappointed. Plenty of different instruments but the music all sounded the same.

So smooth!

Smooth music for the late evening activities

2 greats songs for a first album.

Just not my style of music.

Exceptional album!

Dreary lyrics. Singer doesn’t add much to the music. Listened all the way to the end and felt tortured!

Two great songs, the rest were fillers in my opinion. And I’ve heard better versions of You Can Always Get What You Want. Sounds like things were a bit unorganized.

It was hard to listen to the Soft Boys. Not sure why they made the list.

I’ve heard worse but they sounded like a bit sophomoric.

Some good music

The lyrics were easier to understand with this group compared to other rap singers. I just don’t enjoy rap.

Too much of the same sound.

Good sounds for a party, but weak voices.

Love the harmony of these 4 guys. Great music, album full of great songs.

Surprisingly good melodies.

Hallelujah was beautiful along with some of his love songs. Too bad his career ended so soon.

No high score for the lyrics. Side two is the only reason to listen to this album. But so worth it. Tough to score this.

Some popular songs on this album. All their songs have a similar sound though.

Heavy metal is hard to listen to or appreciate the talent of the musicians for me. I did listen to at least half a song but sadly this sound is not for my ears.

Not smiling with this one.

Music for fine dining!

Music while driving

Tried to listen but not my thing.

Great voice and a good number of songs on the album.

I remember this type of music. Not my music to listen to.

Surprised this group is on the list and that they are putting out an album this year. Sounds like just another rock band.

I just keep hearing the same guitar sound in each song.

Classic!

Difficult to finish each recording.

I could do without the lyrics!

Listening to this hurt my ears.

Another classic album with memorable songs by men whose harmonies make you want to sing along. I will never tire listening to them.

Three unforgettable songs on this album !

Bad boys hard rock with a squeaky voice doesn’t do it for me.

Some of the music is soothing while other songs seem to go on too long.

Quick album to listen to Some greats hits and easy listening

I tried to listen but.

The beats were fine but all that talking get to be too much.

Such a variety of music with a voice I oddly love!

I enjoyed the music and the variety of instruments!

Some great songs from a strong woman with a powerful voice. I saw her in concert back in the early ‘70s and she knows how to put a good show on!

I never heard of a murder genre! Didn’t care for it. Couldn’t finish it.

Not bad, actually similar to Coldplay.

Classic songs you just can’t help but sing along with!

I like the lead singer’s raspy voice and a few of the southern rock songs were big hits.

3-4 memorable rockers on this album.

Down by the River- great song!

Sweet voice

I listened to the whole album hoping I could find one song that caught my attention. I do like the music but her singing does nothing for me.

Surprisingly I liked half of the songs.

Difficult to listen to

Like her voice. I enjoyed this album

I can’t see why this album was so successful. Three good songs, one which was overplayed on the radio, and the hysterical song Mother!

Two hit songs, that’s it.

A couple of memorable songs and a good blues but not their best

Nice voice but don’t have the interest to listen to the WHOLE thing.

They have the makings of a good album.

Lots of different sounds but none that I wanted to listen to.

This was a pleasant surprise!

Don’t understand why this is I’m the 1000 albums collection.

Not my idea of music

What am I missing?

I did like 2 songs but the rests were silly or just noise.

Just don’t know what to say. Didn’t care for it.

Music was fine but that voice is hard to listen to to.

Surprisingly enjoyable to listen to. Never heard of them.

Great guitar and drums but not something I enjoy listening to.

Awful

Lots of energy in this album!

Enjoyed most of the sounds.

Forgot about this band! Couple of good songs.

Not their best album but a few good songs

Great music that’s been around for decades. They just keep adding brothers! I love the guitar player. Similar to Santana

Almost made it to the end but it was not enjoyable.

Sinatra is a crooner and I get that this album was a new concept however I found the songs boring. Disappointed!

Sorry but I just don’t get it!

This has a few odd songs, but overall a great album. Amazing that Bohemian Rhapsody made it to radio! That was an accomplishment.

Tried to find the 5 star rating in this but it just seems so unbalanced.

Was this album chosen due to Bowie ? The first song was a big hit but not enough for me to buy the album.

Unusual and sometimes noisy!

I didn’t want to listen to Ozzy but surprisingly I recognized a few songs and I must admit this group of musicians have talent! Loud! 3 or 4 hmmm

Great group with some very popular songs. Didn’t realize there was a long version of Papa.

Nice voice. I may need to listen a few times to make a judgement

I imagine this is a great album while partying but listening to it while driving home from work sober doesn’t sound impressive.

Sorry but this is not his best.

Liked musically what was put together but I could do w/o most of the singing.

Nah

Good music to listen to when you want something low keyed. I did like the ditty.

Nice voice. The second half of the album was the best.

I did enjoy listening to this album. It’s a stray away from his pop songs. I do like his voice and the smoothness of his songs

I love this guy but these songs were a bit too mellow.

Not as amazing as I expected. Started off with a hit song but then I got tired of his voice. Can’t be considered the best album.

The singer needs to get another job and the horns need to lower there volume. Then all will be ok.

Talent???

Love this album!

Boring.

A big endeavor at the time. Unfortunately too long to keep anyone’s attention these days.

Fun to hear these oldies!

Don’t waste your time like I did.

The music was good and the singing was ok. It just needed something to give it more excitement perhaps.

I enjoyed listening to this album. Each song isn’t the same, I like the variations of instruments and it not screaming at me! Not all 1001 songs need to be punk!!

All the songs sound the same.

Could only get through half of the album. Nothing spectacular here.

This album makes me want to buy some cowgirl boots! I enjoyed his voice and most of the songs

Great album! Mick is at the forefront but Keith and his guitar is the star!

Great songs great music I love his voice!

Interesting but don’t care to listen to the whole album.

Never heard this musician. I love the energy!!

I like Todd Rundgren’s voice but this is what I want to listen to.

Love her voice and songs. Just a nice way to relax

Fun

Never been a fan

Ordinary

This is a classic from someone who made others famous from her songwriting. I never tire of this album.

Nah

I remember seeing Stevie Wonder on American Bandstand with his first of many hits! This double album has many great songs but it could have been cut to one.

Some greats hits on this album. Love the harmonica!

I listen to every rap album but can NEVER make it to the end!

Not bad but couldn’t wait to finish.

Interesting music with all members playing lead singer.

Only one hit on this album. Not a big fan

I don’t understand why they are in this list.

Can’t get through this album. Don’t think this band’s heavy music is for me.

Not for me

I’ve never listened any of his music. I found the alb interesting and think it should be played a few more times.

Yardbirds were at the beginning of all this new music.

A few memorable hits that make this album a hit!

I was not a big fan years ago but there music is easily recognizable and I enjoyed this album.

Interesting and fun but a bit too much!

Not bad to listen to but once was enough.

Some classics make this an easy to listen to any time.

This was a big surprise and I enjoyed listening the album.

She has a nice voice and their hits were played constantly. And while I enjoyed the album, I’m done for another year.

Dusty had some great hits from this album.

Mostly boring.

Why have I not heard of him before?

ZZ Top can strum a great guitar sound but the songs themselves are not memorable aside from one!

I keep hearing the same melody over and over.

I keep hearing the same melody over and over.

I like their sound but there was nothing that stood out with this album.

This is not music. The vocals sound like my babies when they couldn’t get out of their cribs.

Just have difficulty listening to this type of music.

Wow, certainly an album to make you move and dance!

OMG why is she on this list???

Nothing special

Never heard of Gene Clark but I liked it!

Heavy metal is not my thing but I did like the guitar and drums sound. The voice not so much.

No thank you

First time listening to this group. Love the harmony!

Rod Stewart has a raspy voice that works for some songs but not all. I never heard of the other singer. Don’t care to.

Great guitars playing the blues. But the standout of course is Layla.

This album makes me think of a quieter version of Flogging Molly. I like them both!

Simon & Garfunkel songs work well together and solo.

It’s tough to listen to his voice but I do like the guitar picking.

Seriously don’t understand why Jack White is on this list. Could only get halfway through the album.

A few classics but not enough to rate high.

What a surprise! I enjoyed most of her songs!

I liked it!!

Disappointed with this album.

I love country rock. I really enjoyed this album. And Emmy Lou Harris is the best!

Great lyrics, great voice, great album!

This is a hard one to judge. Let’s just say they could have put the best in one album and forego the second.

Perfect for parties in the barn.

Lots of love songs, and nothing stands out with George. But this is an earlier album and it was good to hear most of these songs again.

I can see why they were picked the #2 best Irish band. I really enjoyed this live album.

While I never went to a Bon Jovi concert, I would imagine the group could get everyone off their seats. The music isn’t bad, some songs are memorable so I’m giving them a 3.

One popular song doesn’t warrant being on this list!

A few popular songs, but I don’t understand why some get so excited with this band.

Fun. Lively.

Nice harmony but most of the songs were a bit boring.

Oh my, is this a joke?

All that jazz! Enjoyed it!

Not a big fan

I guess anyone can make an album.

Average sound, good beats but not enough to make it worthy of listening a second time.

Some memorable songs for sure but then they drop in silly ones and I just want to move on…

Listening to this was a killer.

Couple of great songs…the rest a disappointment.

Great harmony. Never disappointed with there music however not all are rated 5.

I’m in the minority with this album. I just want it all to stop!

Lucky for me I had two young children in the ‘80s and had no time to listen to this garbage.

Nothing special

Am I missing something?

Yes my ears were exploding. Not worth the time

A bit long but I enjoyed it.

Some good songs on this album. Surprised!

Love this album!

Easier to listen to with my dancing shoes on!

I listened to the whole album hoping to hear one hit. Let’s say I was disappointed and puzzled why it was listed.

Great variety of songs.

I love his smooth voice. Only a few hits though.

Expected more?

Love their sound and love it live!

I really enjoy James Taylor’s music. This album has some hits and brings me down memory lane.

Why don’t I have this album???

Music is great. I could do without the vocals.

Couldn’t listen to the whole album.

I know all his hits and enjoy catching one on the radio. This was a long album and I’m not sure how to rate it but it makes me want to explore more of his works.

Great music but nasty voice.

Surprisingly good!

I do remember the first song. And I enjoyed most of the Album.

Interesting but not for me

Yes, just go away!

Interesting-enjoyable-surprising

Two great hits. The rest are just fillers.

What a lively album fo dancing!

Couple of decent songs but …

Lyrics fine but felt tortured listening to

All juiced up and had enough for now.

What a voice!

Quite a variation!

Ugh one hit in the whole album.

I’ve never listened to the whole album. It was quite an endeavor. Aside from the few big hits, I don’t think a second album was necessary.

Disappointed

Perfect name, JUNK!

Love her voice but one hit won’t get me to listen to the whole album.

Not sure why I liked him decades ago.
