1001 Albums Summary

Dance Mania by Tito Puente

Familiar sounds. Good "easy summer listening", could picture listening to this sitting outside at a restaurant. Not very passionate, didn't make me feel anything. Very similar feel between all of the songs. I like it for a few songs then get sick of the same beat.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Very easy to see his influence in later music. 'Tonight' reminded me of David Bowie while I found Turn Blue to be laughably bad. Had it's highs and lows, but overall I enjoyed it!

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

Obviously already familiar with the band and some of the songs on here. There were a few with a more country feel which was interesting.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

What a pleasant surprise. I've always liked The Beastie Boys, but this was way more eclectic and varied than I would have guessed. Highly enjoyable.

Violator by Depeche Mode

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

Very very familiar with Eminem, I'm sure nostalgia has something to do with my rating. If I had never heard of him before I wonder if I would rate the same, probably not. Super talented obviously, but it's a little "edgelord"y. But hey, made him a looooot of money so good for him.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith

I'd rather listen to your beard scratching noises you kept making in the car.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

Meh.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

I can see why this was popular in the time it was released. I think you'll like it more than I did. I prefer Earth, Wind and Fire.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories by Hüsker Dü

Bad Company by Bad Company

Loved it. Vocals are killer.

Selling England By The Pound by Genesis

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Damn that's a long album!! Really enjoyable though

Electric Warrior by T. Rex

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen

Smash by The Offspring

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Excellent. Had some variation between songs, vocals and drums were impressive.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones

My feelings about music like this are complicated

Tapestry by Carole King

LOVED THIS

Moondance by Van Morrison

Didn't really know Van Morrison beyond Brown Eyes Girl. Moondance seemed out of place with his other songs but still, very enjoyable!

Queen II by Queen

Queen sucks

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

On The Beach by Neil Young

This has got to be the most boring music of all time.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Melodrama by Lorde

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood

Ys by Joanna Newsom

If I could rate this lower than 1 star I would. Sounds like Adam Sandler when he's singing ridiculous songs in his movies. Awful.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Definitely hear the Springsteen influence in the first two tracks. Overall it was fine, the songs were neither exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.

Machine Head by Deep Purple

Instrumentally impressive, lyrically ridiculous. Sounds like a 12 year old hired a band to play the songs he wrote. Not a fan.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Konnichiwa by Skepta

Weak rhymes. Very moon, June, spoon. Weak beats. Nothing memorable or impressive. Weak lyrics. Nothing said or conveyed that hasn't been said 1,000 (1,001?) times before. I usually try to find something to appreciate even if an album isn't for me, but I'm struggling with this one.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Cacophonous

Be by Common

The fact that this album and Konnichiwa are both on this list is astounding. This was incredible. Loved it. Also, "I wanna be a duck!" was adorable.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

Boring. Sounded like every other mildly successful female artist in the 90s (I'm not talking about queens like Mariah and Whitney). I had never heard of her before and will happily go back to never listening to her again.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

Butterfly by Mariah Carey

Real Life by Magazine

Illmatic by Nas

Impeccable.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

As with his other albums, I completely respect the artistry and thought that goes into his music. However, he kind of "talk sings", it wouldn't be remiss in a Broadway musical, which is really not my thing. But that's a me problem, doesn't mean he isn't very talented and accomplished at what he's going for.

D by White Denim

Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan

Classic. Some songs were a little silly but can't hate on Bob.

American Pie by Don McLean

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes

Disjointed

Pretenders by Pretenders

Low by David Bowie

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Gris Gris by Dr. John

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention

This album smelled like unwashed underwear and marijuana

The Visitors by ABBA

Honestly I was prepared to roll my eyes a bit at this but ABBA is so so good. Very pleasantly surprised

Ten by Pearl Jam

I have never liked the lead singers voice, but it's a well put together album.

Boston by Boston

I've heard many Boston songs but never really listened. They have just been in the background throughout my life. But what an impressive album! Extremely fun to listen to

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

The Yes Album by Yes

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

This kind of folk music definitely oversaturated the market for awhile and I was initially inclined to give it a 3. However I do think the songs are well thought out, beautifully sung, and the album has a cohesive feel overall without each song sounding the same. So despite the fact that I'm personally still "over" this music, I gave it a 4 as it's not their fault everyone and their mother decided on the same style at the same time.

Who Killed...... The Zutons? by The Zutons

Shmeh. Not bad, nothing special.

Undeniably talented. Truly one of the best. When this came out I was in Middle School and loved it, but then again, it has the humor of a middle school child. Doesn't quite hit the same on adult ears.
