1001 Albums Summary

Not my favorite. I think "We Don't Need Who You Are" far exceeds the quality of the other tracks on the album.

Great album. The most Rolling Stones Stones album.

Love the Coldplay nostalgia. Yellow is one of my favorite songs of all time

It was kind of boring.

Listening to this album is like a tour through music samples and influences that came before and after this album. It's a nice album to listen to in the background while you are focusing on something else. I mean that as a compliment.

It's a slightly darker version of there contemporary Irish counterpart The Cranberries, but also has a lot of similarities to HAIM's music.

It's an eclectic genre bending album before that was the cool thing to do which I appreciate. It starts out a little rough but gets better as it goes on in my opinion.

Just so many iconic tracks, guitar riffs, and lyrics. It's truly one of Bowie's best and one of my personal favorites.

Any album that begins with "Like a Rolling Stone" can't be bad.

While the music is not bad, it is incredibly repetitive, and I don't believe an album should be roughly 50 tracks.

In Raw Power you hear the beginnings of what may Iggy's solo efforts so good.

An iconic album of early hip-hop. So many great tracks. I played this album on repeat during a time in high school, and it's always great to come back to. So many people would be missing their karaoke go-tos without this album.

The Cars are a great early pop rock band that, like The Clash, served as a precursor to a lot of the early 80s pre-Glam Rock rock music. This album is a great summation of their influence and includes many of their most famous songs.

It's hard to go wrong with an album that includes 4 of ABBA's biggest hits, but the album also features several interesting options beyond the group's recognizable pop hit including the folk instrumental title track.

It makes sense that this album comes from the early days of prog rock. It's essentially several droning tracks of random instrumental noise. I try to find a redeeming quality or a song of favor from every album, but that was a real struggle with this one.

This a fun, groovy soul movie soundtrack typical of the blaxploitation film genre.

It's a completely pleasant album. Mitchell is probably one of the premiere vocalists in the last century of popular music, and while her brand of folksy jazz is not the most interesting to me, I do enjoy hearing the clear influence her vocal sytling has had on one of contemporary favorites HAIM.

Despite having one of U2's most famous hits and one of the biggest songs of the 90s in "One", the rest of the album is just kind of bland

It's a fun mix of Irish folk and 80s pop.

The album that introduced both Snoop Dogg and diss rap to the masses. Still, it's definitely an album that is more important for its influence than the quality of its tracks.

There was a time when I really loved late 60s/early 70s rock music, but when I listen to it now, I often find myself astonished by how repetitive and indistinguishable the songs are from one another. That's my feeling on this album as well. "Your Time is Gonna Come" has some unique characteristics, but the rest of the album just blends together.

It's just a great, quick album with a lot of wonderful songs.

It's R&B Muzak.

Sounds like the music that would play in the background of an 80s comedy

A very timeless album. A rare album to have no bad songs.
