1001 Albums Summary

Classic album I have on CD. Many of my favorites on this one.

Pop Song is good and memorable. As is Orange Crush. I am reminded how much I hate “Stand” as it was used in “Get a Life”. This is coming from a long-time REM hater. They are the reason why we have bands like Coldplay.

Solid rock/metal album. I’m not an Iron Maiden fan but this was satisfying from start to finish. I’m not rushing out to purchase the vinyl or even add to my “liked songs” on Spotify. But I’d certainly give it a spin again. This is different than the other Iron Maiden songs I’ve heard. Definitely seems like a debut album and they were still finding their sound.

Not a BB fan but I like the weird psychedelic style of the album.

I like John Lennon and much of his solo work so I figured this would be a good listen though I was hesitant because it has Yoko’s name on it. An overall pleasant album but a little too soft for my taste. Hold On, Working Class Hero, and Well Well Well are the standouts for me.

Classic album. I grew up listening to this. Great from beginning to end though I can see how a couple of tracks might not be loved by all due to their quirkiness given that it is basically a soundtrack.

This was a new artist to me. Very talented voice and the musicianship was excellent. But it didn’t really grip me. It was too busy sounding.

Awesome album by the greatest!

I tried. But alas, the vocals ruined it. Was overplayed in the 90s.

Great album. Love how it builds from acoustic to electric. Was a little shorter than I hoped.

The beginnings of hip hop and rap. Some familiar samples. A little go-go. One track even shows the influence on Nine Inch Nails. A little repetitive, but still enjoyable.

Classic album. Nothing to say because I’ve listened to all the songs a million times.

This was a tough listen. Many of the songs felt like church songs or some medieval band. Train Song was the only track that wasn’t completely annoying.
