1001 Albums Summary

Some absolute classics here. But those are the only ones I’d go back and listen to I think.

Maybe some good music? Wouldn’t recommend to someone

Very very solid album. Wish I had given more of a listen to these guys before. Almost a 5 but I’m reserving for all time legendary albums. Super super solid 4.

All time classic. Have listened to a bit and would definitely listen to it through again.

Not into it.

He’s a genius. Generational talent. Not a single song I don’t like and wouldn’t play again. Perfect.

It was ok. She’s incredibly talented

Not at all what I thought The Bee Gees sounds was like. Not a huge fan though. Kinda boring

You already know ELO gets a five star. No notes.

Nice classic soul music. You can tell it influence people like Jamariquai.

Pretty solid! Interesting melodies. Liked a few songs. Definitely a different sound for the current time.

I understand how influential this guy and The Beach Boys were, just can’t listen to more than a song or two at once.

Influential. Would listen to again. Lou Reed is king but I like velvet underground better cause they jam more. That’s why it’s a three star

Obviously very influential. A classic that makes me move my head. Don’t know that I would put it on repeat though. Solid 3, would go 3.5

I just don’t like the constant nasally screaming into the mic.

Top 10 rap album of all time

Clearly influential. Beautiful guitar. Interesting cadence and pitch of voice. Probably couldn’t listen to it on repeat.

Jimi is such an amazing guitar player (not saying anything new there). The bass and drums really drove the sounds too. The use of the right and left speakers for different sounds or moving the same sound back and forth created a unique spatial environment that put you in the room with the band.

Very in your face. Can tell it influenced a lot of modern rap and even some rock with his cadence, beats and lyrics. Cadence and beats: Macklemore, Beastie Boys, Kendrick. Cadence: Red Hot Chili Peppers (Give it Away). Lyrics: Kendrick, most other clever rappers

Very solid music. Was well-timed with the background music I needed at the moment when I turned it on. I want to give it higher than a three but I just can’t bring myself to do it.

Pivotal album. Always hits. The Chili’s are always on a level of their own for me.

Love me some jazz and this couldn’t brighten any day

What a performer. The same song twice?? All time great.

It was just ok. Good music but the lead singer’s voice got old quick. I felt like so many of the songs could have broken into jams and they just kinda hung in that ‘almost a good song’ category

Caught me in a jazzy mood

Meh. Got sick of his voice. First song gave me a little hope but then this one really drug out.

So solid. Generational talent. Kentucky rain got me good.

Groovy! Cool covers too

All time great

Some okay songs. Never been a big beach boy guy. RIP Brian Wilson though

Well made album. I see why people like them but I’m just not in love with the genre. I appreciate how incredibly talented they are though. Time signature changes, solos, drums, etc.

Some absolute classics on here. What an iconic guitar sound.

Very 80’s. Each one sounded like the last. No likes to take away but I’m sure someone in the world appreciates it so not just one star

Very good at what he does. Most clever rapper in the game.

Ok songs. I can’t stand the guys voice droning on and on. I can’t listen to the Smiths either.

Has been a repeat album for me for a while. Lover, You Should Have Come Over is an all time song.

Honestly amazed. The guitar reminds me of what would tickle my ear when I first started playing. How he can fill a room with sounds with such beautiful vocal melodies complimented by the guitar’s harmony is impressive.

Maybe it’s the timing of putting this on as I passed through Cheyenne Wyoming on the way north from Denver but damn this album is great!

Liked it pretty good!

Slow but good! Can tell it influenced a lot of music beyond just country. Lyrics especially.

Music was good and dark but they guy was just kinda whaling the whole time.

Hav never listened to him. Incredibly impressed with the music and lyrics, though I know he had someone write them for him. Props to that guy too.

Liked it much more than I thought I would. Might need to buy a cowboy hat and a revolver 🔫

All time great 2000’s alt rock album. Always on repeat.

Groved for a couple songs but overall not impressed.

Not for me. Why is this on this list?

Actually really liked this. I can picture jamming out hard to this in an Irish bar. Also seems like it was pretty influential.

Spotify calls them “one of the world’s most influential, innovative and compelling bands.” I don’t get completely it. A couple musically impressive and catchy songs. Three stars because I get they’re talented but I wouldn’t listen to again.

I think I get it. Somewhat innovative but pretty out there. Cool sounds. Kinda sounds like Talking Heads. Love call the police

Music was good but couldn’t take his voice.

This got me in the right mood. All jacked up on caffeine. I thought they were much more metal but I enjoyed the melodies and overall sound. Would listen to again!

Absolutely rocked. These dudes were pioneers.

I bet this was very popular and a new sound in the mid-80’s. A few catchy songs and clearly talented musicians. Might listen to a couple again.

Beautiful voice, great piano and overall composition. Probably wouldn’t listen to any of it again except for “Happy Phantom” but that’s just because of my taste.

Just a lot of noises. I generally like punk rock but this was a different spin. Likely won’t listen again.

Kinda really dug this. Will listen again

Innovative. First two songs were great. Everything after that was interesting
