1001 Albums Summary

Incomprehensible at the tempo it's played. Feels like showboating. Not for me.

The duel-interplay between Ritchie Blackmore's guitar and Jon Lord's Hammond Organ is hard rock bliss. Best played while speeding down the highway like a star.

Heavy riffs, bitter-sweet ballads, and a whole lotta cocaine.

The singles are pretty fly. The rest all sounds the same. I miss Crazy Taxi.

Packt full of hits!

Un guiso multicultural con un toque de buen rollo.

It’s got the hits! And some other songs or whatever. I don’t care.

Every song here is pitch perfect for a montage in a 90s boomer romcom.

A spooky old man singing about spooky old man things. Not bad!

Opens with a triumphant classic rock radio staple and then immediately descends into five tracks of the weirdest shit your ever heard. Ends strong though.

“Papa Was a Rolling Stone” could be 30 minutes longer and I’d still say it ends too soon. A fucking classic.

Listened to this high while laying down in the dark. Now I know all the secrets of the universe.

Feels like music you'd hear while shopping at the JCPenney in the 90s.

They rocked so hard they made a blimp crash.

Truly lives up to the t-shirt.

Sober: “This is cute. It’s like a tribute to that Nuggets box set. Retro with a modern electronic flare. Nothing revolutionary.” High: "This is revolutionary!"

i love that Martyn pays tribute to Nick Drake but this album feels like a poor man’s Nick Drake.

“When I say Yee you say Haw. I DIDN’T SAY FUCKIN YEE!”

Very cool and very British.

It’s not Getz/Gilberto but if you’re throwing a 1960s cocktail party you could do a lot worse.

Cool samples. Boring execution.

Oh baby.

Bandoneon and Vibraphone... Name a more iconic duo.

Sounds like 80s Chili Peppers.

Great beeps and/or boops!

Like catnip for grandpas

This guy sounds sleepy but the vibe is pretty chill. 😎

Who…… cares?

I’d give it 666 stars if this thing let me but it doesn’t so I’ll give it 3.

A tribute to drunk boomer moms everywhere.

The perfect end to a sad girl summer.

Well… at least the cover is cool.

Makes me want to light every candle I have.

I’m sure this crushed at cocktail parties in the late ‘50s but it’s not for me.

A 70s glam band with a song called “Gang Bang”? Now we’re talking!

Chugga-chugga-wug! Chugga-chugga-wug!

Dude, this is fuckin’ GOOD.

As good as heroin!

Just guys bein’ dudes.

More like Surf’s Down… not cuz it’s bad cuz it’s sad.

Like Depeche Mode if they all got jobs at a tech company.

Sounds like the kind of music you’d have sex to in a RadioShack back in the 90s.

Fuckin’ bangers all day.

More like “Like a 😴”

Songs that are great for commercials or for getting high.

I got a fever and the only cure is more electric jug.

More like the FUCK Yes Album. I mean that in a good way.

This makes me so very happy.

This thinks it’s sooooo cool.

It’s got none of the hits I know but it’s still a cool vibe. But yeah, none of the hits I know.

Love the album. I still don’t get why the cover is like the Lion King.

I need a little less country. I need a lotta bit of rock and roll.

This like you wanted to grab a bite to eat and accidentally stumbled into this dive bar and a crazy guy at the piano won’t stop talking and you wish you’d gone somewhere else.

This feels like school

I don’t know man. It’s not bad.

I can smell what these guys are cookin’.

This was just what I needed.

I just can’t with this 90s Mom rock.

Not spooky enough. Too 90s. Barry Schmarry.

British Cowboy music? BARF! 🤮

WOO HOO!

Out of all the Britpop bands, Pulp seems like they have the most sex. I’m not talking about a quick “shag”. Im talking about real sex.

Supa satsfying

How did this get here?

Almost as good as the soda!… Almost.

What’s a battle?

“Art Rock” truly is the best way to describe whatever kind of music this is.

I love all the video game sound FX.

I got a fever and the only prescription is more tabla.

I wanna hear a moody and serious cover of “Parklife” next time they make a Jurassic Park.

This seems really smart.

A Love Supreme > A Taco Supreme It’s close though!

There’s a relaxing Bob Ross quality to this one.

Not all lost ‘70s albums need to be reclaimed.

Any of these songs sound like they could be the theme to Roseanne.

Some nerdy ass shit. But that’s good shit.

Pure dentist Muzak

This is one of my go-to albums when I have a migraine. So you might say this album has the power to heal. ❤️‍🩹

This is definitely an album.

Like Stranger Things!

Makes me wanna hit something with a skateboard.

You go girlfriend!

I can kick it.

Very cozy. Very 90s

Salsa ain’t my jam. Now if this was queso that would be a different story.

Almost as much fun as the book!

I’ll never get over that soft and beautiful opening acoustic number going straight into Paul Simon discovering Moog synthesizers. It’s awesome.

Finland done good.

He’s a piece of a shit. It’s also really good. It’s complicated.

This thinks it’s SO cool.

It makes a lot of sense that they cast this guy as a singing ape

Damn those Swedes. They did it again!

If drugs were a band.

More like ECCH-tung 🤢

Moody and dark and yet it’s a real toe-tapper!

Hey, I want a Mercedes Benz too!

The amount of dull English House music on this list is staggering.

Dentist rock at its finest.

This was cool when I was like 17.

You make this live album over 90 minutes long and don’t even play “Brown Eyed Girl” or “Moondance”? That’s just sick, man.

Starting to get a little bored of all the just “fine” 90s albums on this list. Are these just all Robert Dimery’s favorite albums from high school or something?

I miss the days when all I knew about M.I.A. was how dope her music was. 😞

Like Seinfeld!

Fuck yeah, those were the days.

It was okay.

Classic mopey boys mopin’ it up.

I do not have much fondness for the synths of the early 90s.

Makes me wish it was still 2002 and I was just chilling and watching Toonami.

This what I call morning wood.

It’s okay. 😏

These guys sound like nerds.

Vibes, bruh, vibes.

Hard to think of many classic albums that start stronger than this one.

Worth the wait. 😎

It’s hipster bullshit but it’s still good.

English reggae just ain’t my bag.

Goth boys dun good.

This album sounds drunk.

For a bunch of British white guys this is funky as Hell.

The future is beeps and boops.

Maybe it’s a generational problem but Madonna will always feel like drunk mom music to me.

This has got percussion up the wazoo!

Spot on. Right.

This feels SO 90s

It's 2 stars, bitch.

All her stuff feels SO sad now.

Yeah, dude we all know.

Crazy to think there was a time when one of the coolest things around was a bunch of scrawny white British dudes playing old blues music.

Makes me nostalgic for the early Adult Swim era of Hip Hop.

He sure loves to bitch about stuff... And I love it!

I came for the rock but I stayed for the soul.

I fucking loved this album when I was 14 and it still hits as hard today. 🎯

“Hotel California” is like the boomer National Anthem.

I like Dolly but she’s always sounded like a cartoon mouse to me.

Like proto-Vampire Weekend with a Chevy Chase jump scare.

Like if Mad Magazine was a band.

Merry Chrysler!

This makes me miss VH1

It’s like Fallout!

Somehow I find him more charismatic as the villain in Sling Blade.

Grunge is born!

The final boss of “Sad White Guy Guitar Music”.

This puts the FUN in Funky… Get it?!?

You’d have to have a heart of napalm to not like this album.

Court AND Spark? Together at last?

The Man Who didn't want to listen to this album... Spoiler: It was me.

This hit me like a flower.

Grandpa hive rise up!

I’m proud to be one of his employees!

I wouldn't mind living in this so-called guitar town.

You couldn't find a more appropriate label for this than "Dream Pop".

You know it's early cuz the skeleton guy looks kinda derpy on the cover.

Sigh. Really wish she wasn't so crazy.

This dude has so many albums. I'd never heard of this one.

She sure is!

I could stare at that album cover for fifty years.

Meh.

Makes me want to go rollerblading.

I can't believe they used Swamp Thing's house as the cover.

I can’t believe an album with a 55/100 on Metacritic is on here.

I have nothing against this kind of music. I just can’t tell when it’s supposed to be good.

Warning: This is NOT the one with Bohemian Rhapsody!

Fun!

This seems smart.

Sounds like hippies alright.

I bought a copy of this on vinyl in 2006 for 98 cents. The second side of the second record was all warped. So I still get nervous when I hear "Sweet is the Night".

I feel bad that my introduction to "Lost in the Supermarket" was the movie "Over the Hedge".

They couldn’t even beat the Be Sharps at the Grammys

The flex to put "Planet Caravan" inbetween "War Pigs", "Paranoid" and "Iron Man". RESPECT.

Does anybody really know how good this is?

I fell asleep at one of their concerts once. Still feel bad about it.

A helluva vibe.

I just had the weirdest morning commute ever.

A very very very fine album

I don't want to live in the Afterfuture!

Listened to this on my morning commute and felt like I was a gonna crash. 5/5 No notes.

This vibe is chill AF. 😎

I’m SAD!!!

Dave Coulier slander.

Huh? This is on here?

This somehow ahead of it’s time and incredibly dated.

What is it good for?

Bowie didn’t die, he just went home.

This is like if Radiohead exclusively played folk pop and only released albums via Starbucks. I like it.

Somehow, Bjork with guitars is even weirder than Bjork with beeps and boops.

I don't know most of these songs but I like how they sound.

A delightful pre-Valentine's Day treat.

It'd be funny if the album was bad and I could be like, "At least they got the name right!" But no, it's good.

I’m as surprised as you are.

A record with one of the weirdest first sides and one of the greatest second sides.

Definitely on the short list of white guys who can pull off afros.

One of the great names in music.

Songs about Minotaurs? No drums? What a bunch of nerds.

🥵🥵🥵

Lies!!!

This guy's just always been cool, huh?

Paul McCartney forgot to wear his shoes. Unprepared and unprofessional. Bad album.

I appreciate the honesty.

Great opener. The rest sounds like it’s being played in a haunted gym from the 1980s.

The musicianship is solid but the vocals sound like Cookie Monster on the toilet.

That’s way too many people for one bathtub!

21 minutes let's go!!!

Uncle Sam is playing at my house. At my house.

The drunken boomer frat dude of rock albums.

Back when she was cool mom rock before she became regular mom rock.

Nick Cave feels like a real life Cormac McCarthy character.

Back in the day, people described this as as The Beach Boys meets Motörhead with T. Rex and Judas Priest. I'll leave it at that.

That's gonna be one well seasoned soup!

These guys are writing to science? What a bunch of nerds.

Makes me want to watch Daria.

I heard about her from a Father John Misty song. Now I've heard an album from her. I'm officially cool.

Used to rock this back in high school…. in 2007.

Drunk mom rock (who tried cocaine once).

As long as he stays across the water.

Hell yeah! Fuck capitalism!

A love letter to 12 string guitar... and to a lesser extent, tambourine.

They got the title right.

The day I heard songs from this on classic rock radio was the day I felt old.

One for the dads.

Struggling to remember what this was but I gave it a 3 so I guess it's fine.

A good year!

These guys were just always good.

The album cover looks like the opening credits to every super hero movie of the early 2000s.

Four stars motherf#%ker!

Immortalized in the timeless classic Twilight.

As featured in the soundtracks to two equally iconic films: "Greenberg" and "Step Brothers".

Hmm, interesting.

The way this album by a Seattle-area band timed up with the news the Seattle Sonics are coming back is like destiny.

Cool Jazz dads unite!

This gave me a greater appreciation for the Bam Margera extended universe

I’m sure it’s awesome to listen to while building Gundam models but it’s not for me.

They have OTHER albums?!?

Hard to listen to these guys without getting distracted and going on an hours long deep dive into the disappearance of Richey Edwards

I don't even know if this album is OK.

Helluva Rise. Helluva Fall.

Featuring one of my all time favorite songs to be featured in a Volkswagen commercial.

Quite the combination.

Some mighty fine chooglin’.

Doesn't feel that massive.

"The cost for recording Alien Lanes, if you leave out the beer, was about ten dollars." Dude, that rules.

Needs more bass and less drum 🤔

I imagine this big chair is like the Big Comfy Couch but more serious.

I can't trust these guys or milk. Like, at all.

One of all time great shapes.

I used this album cover as the backdrop once for a movie my brother and I made with G.I. Joes. A great album and a great substitute for an actual wall.

Ah yes, from Pure Moods.

これ、最高にヤバい！

Hey, there he is!

This album was really important for Batman. So I gotta respect it.

I would kill to party like it's 1999. Please!

I bet old people love this guy.

That bass sounds so pissed off.

Saw these guys live once. People moshed. Saw a flipped car on my way home. Helluva night.

Really makes me nostalgic for the Rock Band games.

This album is fuckin' cool.

Kinda sounds like "Hotel". Is that something?

It’s fine.

Dude, fuck off.

I think these guys were better than we all have them credit.

I used to think I was so cool walking around the neighborhood listening to this on my CD Player. Spoiler Alert: I was. 😎

You had me at SWLABR…

Bloody fuckin’ good, right?

I’d listen to it… again

It’s Pixies alright.

They were wrong alright.

I used this as the soundtrack to a school project.

Some really great medical advice regarding coconuts 🥥

I like Bjork when I’m in a Bjork mood. I am not in a Bjork mood today.

GO WEST!!!!

I didn’t realize Starbucks helped make this list.

Nobody dances like coal miners.

They got the title right.

Makes me want to down a can of SURGE!!!

Beep. But also sometimes boop.

I used to stare at this album cover for hours.
