1001 Albums Summary

Very much a sound of the period, needs a richer setup for a more warm sound. Still a few tracks on here that are on the iconic side and a few more that had me thinking hmmmm I like this. A great album, not the best, and no where near bad. A good sound and a good look in the past.

Absolutely eclectic in sound and tonality. This is the Webster dictionary example for the sign of the times. Gorgeous sound, classics on here, beautiful work by Cat Stevens.

I'm borderline at a 5 on this one. Absolutely had a couple of tracks that I very much loved. Perpetual Change has a great rift that enters the world of Jazz, some great notes played. Awesome album.

Absolutely brilliant, a jazz essence that very much travels around a lot of genre of style. Gorgeous strumming and beautiful horn play, I am hooked.

Fantastic mellow vibes off of this record. Something about this really gets me feeling really good. Lot of the organ, love the tone, love the vocals. Strong elements of blues embedded throughout this. Beautiful album.

I understand the importance of such an album and the artist. I very much love Duke, the arrangements and the imagination poured out. This is just not my style, it's lovely and it stands on its own as one of the greatest, but for my own ears, I neither love it, nor hate it.

Very much not a fan of this. Wasn't into the beat, wasn't into the vocals, a bit laid back and just felt a bit empty. It's not my cup of tea, but maybe it's yours.

Absolutely not a fan of this. Just not my cup of tea, I understand the style and the flow is impressive. Very much has a place in history, but it's not for me.

Not a fan but also not upset with this. I understand the lore, but it's not my cup of tea. Some songs on here I enjoyed, but nothing special.

Loved this a lot, gorgeous tone, amazing song writer. I do firm understand its spot in this list and Cohen proves his ability on this album. It melts in the background and eases the soul, at least it did for mine.

Absolutely fell in love with this... instantly became a favorite. I love the melody each song has and each song eases my soul a bit. Nothing harsh, not trance, this is mellow and mature. Feels good.

I have to admit I was never an Elvis guy... but then I listened to his music and suddenly found myself realizing how much a talent he truly was. I know the image is a gimmick that blown up and now it's just a mockery... but Elvis was truly a once in a generation talent that could belt out some gorgeous lyrics. This album is fantastic, it stands out for the time, and it surely sits on this listen for a reason and ultimately will be remembered for the duration of mind kind in my own opinion.

This is a nice classic album. Ray fits well in my culture, I love the idea of listening to this at a party with an older audience, all sipping on some beers and talking about the old days... this album would be the ideal background music to capture the moment. Loved it.

I'm going to be honest... this isn't my cup of tea. It's just not my genre, but I give it respect for not being just noise. I hear the intent, I hear the lyrics, I recognize who Iron Maiden are/were. They belong here, I'm not the best person to judge this because it's just not my class... but respect to them and for making it welcoming.

I'm sorry... but no... it's not my type of enjoyment, kudos to those who love it. I'm not one of you all. We can co-exist... I just want to be far from you.. that's all.

A lot of elements from the Clash, I'm not the biggest fan of the Clash and certainly not the biggest fan of the style through this artist. However, I'm sure it's amazing for others, just not my thing.

Absolutely amazing and entering my must buys for albums. His music spoke to me, resonates and eased me.

No... just no...

This is classic Jazz and it's Miles Davis. It's gorgeous, it's designed for passive or critical listening. It's not my genre, but it's something I've been leaning more towards as I'm getting older, I don't know why, but the music speaks to me a little more.
