Short and powerful. Classic hard rock with no filler.

Reminds me of Booker T and The MGs - old school southern rhythm and blues goodness

Definitely one of the best debut albums of all time - great vocals, bass and drums, amazing songs but true virtuosic guitar playing - rock guitar was never the same after this record

Nothing quite like this, her vocal style on top of these rhythms. Sultry, suave, smooth but never boring somehow.

Not bad, but I’m not sure I get the hype over this.

Classic rock at it’s most classic - standout tracks: Green River and Bad Moon Rising are impeccable, rest of the album is strong, but even though it’s short it does feel a little repetitive by the end of the record.

My favorite Hendrix record. Production feels a little dated at this point, but the songs are so good

More enjoyable than I was expecting, definitely quite a bit of “rock” energy on this album

Enigmatic and odd - pretty compelling but short on hooks and memorable melodies. Probably deserves another listen or two to really get my head around it

Solid funk masterpiece - vocals seem unnecessary

Not in my typical wheelhouse, but really enjoyable and creative. Good use of tracks and samples

It’s Marvin Gaye, so it’s a given that it’s going to be pretty great. This album seems interesting in that it was panned when it was released and now if thought of positively - too bad Marvin died before the turn around

This is a solid record for sure, and it sounds great - being one of the first all digital mainstream albums released. But, outside of the hits, I find it a little boring and lacking in energy that I want from a rock album. That said, excellent guitar playing throughout.

I liked this album more that I thought I would. The songs were intriguing and the overall sound of the album really sucked me in. I think it will probably get even better on subsequent listens, but still a very strong record

didn't connect with this at all, except maybe for "O'Malley's Bar" which I really liked. This came back to back with Abbatoir Blues - which I liked way better.

I could listen to Lauryn Hill sing all day long, unfortunately she doesn’t really sing that much on this record. The rest of it is ok, but I found it pretty unmemorable.

Quite a bit better than I was expecting. I had heard the title track and Passenger before, but I was pleasantly surprised that the rest of the album was also pretty strong.

Nothing very memorable for me here. Vocals and melodies seemed ok, instrumentation was fine, if basic, but it was the songs ultimately that I found lacking.

The album as a whole was a pleasant listen and I thought that the instrumentation and overall recording quality were excellent. But, the songs and vocals I found generic and unmemorable.

Excellent album without a doubt. It’s weird to me that Pretty Hate Machine is not on the list, but I guess this album is a bit more adventurous and on the experimental side. I do find some of the tracks tedious, but the standout tracks are pretty extraordinary.

Reading about this album while listening to it gave me a much bettter appreciation of the history and importance of this record - so I get why it made the list. But, musically it was just OK, nothing that really stood out or made me want to listen again in the future.

Very typical Brit Pop album from this era. I wa not familiar with any of the songs, but they were decent and the over all album was an entertaining listen. Nothing that made me want to revisit in the future though.

I’m not really sure why so many Nick Cave albums made the list - this one was a decent listen, I liked it better than Murder Ballads, but I doubt I will listen to it again. I guess I’m just missing something here.

Classic psych pop. Not familiar with most of the songs and was an enjoyable listen, interesting that the last song on the album was the big hit.

Probably in the top 10 of albums of all time. love every bit of it.

Really solid album, sparse recording lends to the indie sound. No super memorable songs after one listen, but I wouldn’t mind listening to it again

Not as adventurous as some of his earlier work, but still a very good album from a rock legend late in his career. Band seems really solid and the songs are strong.

Moody dream pop, which I guess if you are into that then this album is a good example. For me, I found it pleasant, but somewhat boring.

I can see why people really liked this, but I found it unmemorable

Definitely sounds like a Beach Boys record, Wilson has a very unique songwriting style. Overall album sounds good and was easy to listen to, didn’t hear much that made me want to give it more listens.

Solid record, pretty much exactly what I expected from a folk rock album of this time period.couple of standout tracks

Never heard of this before. Pretty interesting overall, not surprised that. Eno was involved. Nice listen.

Not bad, but far from my favorite Kinks record. I can see why it’s historically important, and I though some of the songs were quite good, but overall just felt underwhelming.

This is a really strong record from Depeche Mode. This was the first time listening to the album as a whole and I really enjoyed it.

great blues rock record - classic ZZ Top. As always Billy Gibbons’ guitar playing and vocals are masterful - truly one of the best blues guitar players to ever live

Much stronger album than I was anticipating. Forgot how many great songs were on this album

Decent pop record I guess, but it wouldn’t make my top 1000

Classic NWOBH, amazing.

Solid album from Elvis Costello.

Heavier than expected. Started out pretty strong, but by the end of the album found it a little boring. Not bad, but not great

Good album, engaging. Great guitar work and vocals. Probably my 2nd favorite Radiohead album after The Bends

Way better than I expected. Something about the melodies and the vocals that made for a really engaging listen,

Great thrash metal record, vocals seem a little lacking at times, but overall very powerful and aggressive

Really just a masterpiece, definitely should be on the list. Incredible songs, great vocals and Thompson’s guitar playing is excellent throughout

Solid jazz album, great playing, not a ton of memorable melodies but probably would need a lot of listens to really start clicking

Really took me by surprise. Very interesting record. Way more social/political than I was expecting - and Funky!

Better than just the one hit - but not sure it’s good enough for the top 1000

Grew on me as I listened. A little anemic in general, but “night swimming” and “find the river” were nice surprises

One of the better rap albums I’ve heard.

Garage rock, Stones-y, pretty good - probably important from historical context, but doesn’t really sound all that ground breaking/interesting now

Mellow and moody, not what I expected. Decent album - has Jason Falkner and Roger Manning from Jellyfish so that’s cool to see/hear. But nothing that I feel like warrants additional listens.

Amazing prog debut. Schizoid man is a force to be reckoned with.

Fun listen, I enjoyed it more than I was thinking I would, but I don’t really think it’s good enough to be on this list.

One of the better Bowie rock/pop albums. Not as “cool” as the Berlin trilogy stuff, but solid songs and a cool vibe throughout

Short and powerful. Classic hard rock with no filler.

All time classic Jazz record.Excellent sound, enjoyable, nothing to complain about at all, definitely belongs on the list as it is the epitome of this type of Jazz album.

Great album. Birth of Glam rock, but the songs are strong as well and still hold up today. Production is great, still sounds fresh

Very interesting. Cool songs, unique vocal delivery, melodies and songs seem to have some influence from classical and musical theater which is an odd but appealing addition to a pop music record
