1001 Albums Summary

Not as timeless as albums it was compared too, but ok for a listen through

Holds up. Almost the definition of timeless

Really surprised how much I am enoying this. Based on their name alone I was not a fan. Evan Dando/Lemonheads vibes for sure. Also see how blur, oasis were likely influenced.

a little too 70's. Very hair rock whiny vocals at times.

ok. very much reflects mid to late 80's. In your eyes is obvious stand-out.

Classic

Perfect representation of the 2000’s

deffinitely a classic at this point, with 2 or 3 bangers. Not as good as dookie though

not quite as impactfull as dr. dres the chronic, but still solid.

Solid, strange, and fundamental rock music

fucking weird. Really surprised I didn't know of them, glad for the experience, but fucking weird.

some bangers, but feels very of the 90's

thought it would be a little bit more prolific. A bit mellow overall.

really good uk-synth-pop, and still feels like it has a place in modern music.

the music of mythic westerns. Really enjoy for what it is. Almost more of a movie soundtrack vibe than regular listen however.

not feeling as classic as i thought it would. Sounds a little dated

fucking genre defining classic

very solid.

strange in an accessible way.

this (to a millenial) is the exact definition of "rock 'n roll" Also perfect encapsulation of late 70's rock curious about prog power.

lulling me to sleep while I work. I do appreciate the instrumentation but it needs something in addition to whats here to make this a classic.

solid funk. still feels fresh.

core indie-pop. Suprised how much i ENJOYED IT considering I was sick of it from hearing it too much a few years ago.

fucking classic, but feels a little dated. still important for understanding this genre of beast driven dreamscape sound moments.

psychedelia meets 60's rock in a sort of nostalgic way for me.

Perfect nostalgia

encapsulates early '80's to a T.

This album transformed the mix landscape and made me want to be a dj so bad.

Perfect for the moment

Such a solid encapsulation of late 60’s

freaking classic

way more rock than i thought it would be.

70's rock at its finest.

so early 80's, but not 80's glam, more theatrical speed rock.

solid

kind of getting sick of these guys

ok, very much sounds of the time it came from

CLASSIC. the most "soundtrack" esk album to my early childhood.

THE ALBUM THAT STARTED MY JOURNEY INTO HIP-HOP. Also taught me what a pot leaf was (big picture of it on the cd).

better than I thought it would be, and somewhat timeless.

A well crafted album, but hard to listen to after a single play-through.

this album is the reason I love jazz of this era.

Instantly transports me to Portsmouth NH early 2000’s and holds up much better then other pop punk albums released around this time.

ok, not as timeless as i thought it would be.

curious uk indie pop, straight from the late 80's (sound wise). is an ok listen.

Mick Jagger sounds incredible here, and it is obvious this album set them up for success

led zeppelins foray into folk-esk rock, but still heavy in a zeppelin kind of way.

true pre cursor to much of what pop music is today. Timeless.

the quintessential skateboarding album of the early 2000's

over the top rock. examining the 70's, this is the album that screams what rock was more than any other of that era.

1970's symphonic rock at its core.

solid 70's funk.

rhythmic, but hard to have on (turned low it is ok as background music I ignore).

Breaking the law Carrie’s this album. Solid 70’s/early 80’s metal

BOB DYLANS TRUE MASTERPIECE

“Feeling’ Alright” transcends decades, and somehow feels relevant however many years later

shockingly good. would recommend. Not sure why it was so addictive, but it was.

underrated to say the least. A shockingly enjoyable listen reminiscent of Randy Newman at points, then tom waits at others.

is very much mid 90's radio music. "Honey" is ok because of how nostalgic it feels, but rest of album is forgettable.

Surprisingly quirky and felt like a soundtrack

Incredibly sweet story telling and somehow timeless

Pretty fucking awesome. Miles Davis fusion weirdo stuff.

ahhhhmazing album.

Surprisingly dated sounding in 2025, but 3 stars for “wonderwall”

perfect encapsulation of the mid '90's

Solid (early) Dylan.

Classic 70’s Willie.

One of black flags best

Killer. Perfect soundtrack to almost anything.

Pretty fucking good.

very nostalgic, and somewhat holds up in 2025. Actually it’s awesome after a second listen.

somehow even though most of these songs have been played too many times, and I am quite sick of them, a listen all the way through this album proved to be quite enjoyable. Still rocks.

so fucking good

Solid

Perfect encapsulation of 1984

strange but good.

really solid uk hip hop, a fun listen with a few unexpected moments

shokingly fun listen, and even though it came out in 78, it embodies early 80's

amazing listen from start to finish

Brilliant on a listen through.

this album is heavy, lite, and everything in between, and goes seamlessly between them.

holds up to anything put out today.

So many bands wouldnt exist if not for this band/album.

Still as fresh as when it came out.

Polished late 80’s.

Wow.

Classic

Pretty ok.

Perfect encapsulation of the era

Solid

Ok

solid and sounds as relevant today as it did when it came out

Solid rock

Very 1980 time capsule

Incredible

Very Oasis esk. Ok Brit-pop.

solid

so so so good

Easy to see how this influenced so many bands (thinking specifically LCD Soundsystem).

This album represents my high school days way more accurately than I wish it did making it Surprisingly nostalgic.

So many early high school memories to this album. It defines an entire generation of mid 90’s kids who thought they were badass.

excellent, holds up very well.

solid rocking album.

ok

really holds up

Holds up, and is still as heart wrenching as ever.

Classic, and feels appropriate. Possibly the Beatles best album

Really smooth samples and pretty sick flow from track 1

really solid

Solid Bowie.

The birth of not only new wave but also Glam. Seriously solid album.

Fucking great album.

3 good songs but don’t ever intend to seek this album out to listen to.

Acoustic surprise. Pretty rich sounding but a little boring.

SOLID, very much of the area this came out (to me now).

Feels like prime 1990. The beats are energizing enough to listen through though.

THE CCR ALBUM. Entire album feels like the soundtrack to a fever dream or wild flashback that I truly enjoy.

really upbeat, and quintessential Iggy/Stooges

Fucking incredible. I have very deep emotions attached to this album in a nostalgic way.

Sounds dated at this point. Couldn’t make it through the entire thing.

Very solid album. Sounds like it could have come out at any point in the 2020’s

Not bad musically, but the singers voice just doesn’t do it for me me.

Simply for the song “the way you move” this is a stand-out album. Overall a good listen

from top to bottom, this is a must listen too album at least once, twice a year

Shockingly holds up well after not listening to this for 20 years. Pretty cohesive experience start to finish

Without a doubt beastie boys best album and should be a starting point for anyone looking to get into them. As timeless in 2026 as it was when it came out.

Ok ambient music. Hard to have in the foreground though, much more of a soundtrack/background vibe that I don’t mind playing but don’t pay a ton of attention to.

Major Ween vibes, which was quite nice.

Solid, but so overplayed I can’t sit through the whole thing.

The best RATM album and still sounds as fresh on 2026 as it did when it came out. It’s ability to ramp up emotions in the listener is a solid feat.

super solid listen all the way through. In fact, best listened to start to finish in one listening session.

Feels a little too early ‘90’s

Some really great moments, but equally as many “meh” moments.

ok for what it is, but not timeless at all.

holds up almost as well as when it was initially released. There is something timeless about Billy Joes voice

holds up, too bad Ryan Adams is a sleeze these days

such a solid album and really hols its own even after all these years.

Nostalgic electronic dance music. Definitely feels of the early '90s and is nice to throw on in small amounts.

really solid and an enjoyable listen, ALWAYS.

Really fun listen. Subtle hints of punk/jazz

Perfect summer soundtrack….

Spooky mid 80’s punk. The album has a vibe to it that I was not expecting. Nice synths throughout, and yet never felt overdone.

Moments of cool and original, with at least 3 songs I would listen to anytime of the day. Overall though, probably not putting this on unless I want to hear one of the 3 songs that are worthy.

Some good songs, and quintessential White stripes “sounds”. A decent listen but rare I would throw it on.

Softer gently-er Morrissey. A little boring but a few tracks stand out like “the more you ignore me…”

Objectively, it is a good album. I struggle with the fact that so much of it has been overplayed. Front to back though a single listen through is worth it, but just once, then you are feeling like you cant take any more, at least for a few years.

Great samples, and good flow from start to finish. Really surprised how much this album worked on almost every track. A few moments felt dated but overall as good as anything coming out in 2026.

Michael Stipe is best showcased on this album. Solid encapsulation of late 80’s and more than one track is all time classic.

Strange background music. Enjoyable if you need something in the background with guests over who thrive with some weird shit on.

In terms of ambient music, this fits the bill, but is also a little more than that. Moments up upbeat brings this album back to the foreground in whatever I’m doing, and I enjoy it. Overall though, I rarely put it on, too many other albums edge this out.

Ok. Hard to like him now.

Classic and almost timeless.

should be listened to at least once a year. Works well in cold, but also hot hot summer.

Surprisingly fun, with a few tracks that need to be skipped.

A bit dated, but has its moments.

This album plays in my head almost all the way through at least once a month. Start to finish, it is a joy.

not a bad listen, but a few other cash albums I would put on before this one. Still this puts a solid end note on his legacy

of the original 4 studio albums from The Smiths, this one gets the least amount of listen time, but has a really full, polished Smiths sound and is a great once-or-twice-a-year-listen-all-the-way-through album.

psychedelic vibes at moments, which are enjoyable at times but overall gets tiresome. nice blend of electronic and pop.

I try to ignore prog rock, but this album has enough strange moments to keep me hooked. Pleasantly surprised I made it through most of it. Once a year listen at most, but still worthy of that one listen a year.

Really solid start to finish.

Classic

Three great songs, the rest are meh.

A couple great tracks. However, this just makes me want to listen to Husker Dü.

fun album and worth a listen

NICE THROW BACK, but doesn't hit as hard as it did when it came out originally.

Moments of odd, but overall an ok listen.
