1001 Albums Summary

Felt unctuous. Dark maybe? Like a really good ramen broth.

Ma you're just jealous it's the beastie boys. Be more quinticential. But the stuff at the end of this album is fire.

It's crunchy, it's driving, it's riffed up, it's ZZ Top!

Great sound. Opening riff to Money for Nothing is bonkers

Unplugging really shows Kurt's voice in an incredible light. I was not really feeling Nirvana today but that was more of a mismatch by me than anything. Will have to come back to it

It's not for me

Amazing. Puts the king in BB King. Crunchy blues

This was on the one hand, quite compelling. On the other, I don't think it's something I will seek out again. Hard to say

I was not super into this one

Fantastic. Funky grooves.

I've never thought of myself as a "jazz guy" but I really enjoyed this album. Maybe it's the samba? In any case, would listen again.

It's pretty disco groovy. I liked it.

Kinda surprised how jazzy this turned out to be

The original of metal on full display it seems

Funky and smooth

Great album! Gfunk at its finest

That sure is a sadboi in Portland

Loved it! Just classic boom bap right here

Pretty punky. Never listened to the Pixies before and I'm glad I got the chance too

This is my favorite Beatles album

Glad I got to give Joy Division a go finally. I think I need another listen to really get a good feel

Also never listened to the Smiths before. Gotta say, for a dark/brooding sound, I liked it!

A classic case of not judging a book by its cover. Don't get the album art but the sound is nice

Not sure how I feel about Morrissey. Kinda weird. Kinda whiny. Kinda nice. I just don't know

I really liked this! Got a lot of sounds I didn't expect

I didn't really like this, but I think I wanted it to be something else. Worth a revisit

What an album! How did this get lambasted by critics??? Sort of sat in the country/blues space, which I did not expect.

Gotta remember to give this one another try. I listened to about half and liked it, but ran out of time

Really loved this one!

What a great album! I've been really loving Steely Dan lately. It's funky and chill. Just great background stuff and at the same time actually worth sitting down to listen to!

Not super interesting? But maybe I missed the point. Or maybe I'm just not helped by the hits from this album playing at the local Border's Books and Music back in the day.

Not my jam, that's for sure

This one feels like what I imagine "jazz" to sound like. Not sure how I feel about it.

The Wu-Tang album.

Really enjoyed this one! Deep, somber, heavy sounds. Beautiful.

This one was a little tough to follow for me. At times it skewed folk, which I liked. But other times I just got lost

Another fun one! I'm always up for a little Sly but this is my first time listening to a full Sly album, start to finish. I enjoyed the experience. Can't say there were any surprises, and I liked that too. Solid album to start the day with.

Loved this one. Never heard of Joan Armatrading before but what a lovely album! Funky, smooth, full of emotion but never overbearing. This and a cup of coffee is an amazing way to start a fall morning.

Better believe I get down to The Doors. In Almost Famous Lester Bangs (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) says, "The Doors? Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon posing as a poet... Give me The Guess Who. They got the courage to be drunken buffoons, which makes them poetic." And I think that's nice. Sometimes you have to take a few swings above your weight class. Jim and the boys sure do on this record.

Sets the tone with the first one and stays right there for the entire album. Wall to wall Bowie, baybeee!!!!

This one started out far too busy for what I was prepared for. I need to go back and give it another go in a different frame of mind.

It's a banger, ok. Poetic, calming, beautiful

I really enjoyed this one! It was interesting how the album sort of slowed down from start to finish

Loved it! Vivacious

Absolutely magnificent. Start to finish this one rips.

Pretty solid!

Sensational! High energy. Beautifully blends piano and guitar over soulful, funky rhythms. Best enjoyed on a rainy morning with a cup of coffee when you have a BUNCH to get done today
