1001 Albums Summary

Roots by Sepultura

I get and love what they're doing here, this is a very good album I'm glad it's on the list. Not super for me, but I definitely like it better than Arise.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

We all know this is a five star album, right?

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen

This is definitely my favorite Springsteen album. Had it on while fixing a vintage bicycle, I think it helped. Definitely should put this in regular rotation.

Debut by Björk

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix

I haven't listened to Hendrix in a minute, forgot how much I love his voice. And obviously, he's a very skilled and interesting musician.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret by Soft Cell

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Song for song, they're all really good. As a whole it's kinda one note. Obviously one of the most fundamental grunge albums. My heart says 3.5, but I'll bump it up to 4 for the amount of times we watched the Black Hole Sun music video off of limewire in middle school.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem

Hotel California by Eagles

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan

This is probably my favorite hip hop album, easily my favorite from this era. The fact that a whole ass group of people collaborated on this is amazing. The lyricism, the beats, the samples. Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver

I could see this album landing in my regular rotation. Perhaps best listened to at night.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull

I was so jazzed when I saw this was the album for today. It's an absolute banger, I'm shocked the reviews are averaging below 3.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino

I Should Coco by Supergrass

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I just can't do RHCP anymore, sure it's a good album, not for me

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band

Garbage by Garbage

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club

Karma Chameleon, total banger. The rest of the album? Mostly filler, going with a 2 because I can appreciate what Boy George has done for gender and for it being on the shorter end of the spectrum

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

Faith by George Michael

Just good, fun 80s pop. Listened to it and had Father Figure stuck in my head all day.

B-52's by The B-52's

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music by Ray Charles

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

Kala by M.I.A.

I genuinely thought I was going to give this album a 5. It's really fucking awesome, I love the sampling, I love M.I.A. As a whole, there's a lack of cohesiveness, I think?

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

First off, I inexplicably confuse Tears for Fears with Faith No More, not musically obviously, just the names. I'll never understand and neither will you. This album feels big. Atmospheric. "Shout" as the opener is huge. I feel like every genre deserves to have a five, this might be the one. Also "Head Over Heels" pops into my head for no reason all of the time, it's a beautiful lil earworm.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

Just a good solid rock album. Whole Lotta Love is easily one of the best opening tracks of all time.

Queen II by Queen

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts

It's like if The National was brighter. Honestly, pretty forgettable. Not sure why it's here on this list. Definitely better albums to listen to before you die.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by The Byrds

Vespertine by Björk

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

Feast of Wire by Calexico

This Nation’s Saving Grace by The Fall

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

OK Computer by Radiohead

Something Else By The Kinks by The Kinks

Listen, I really like The Kinks, I'd actively listen to this album, or any of their others, but it is kinda just, "something else by the kinks"

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

Junkyard by The Birthday Party

Bummed by Happy Mondays

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream

British Steel by Judas Priest

Not always my vibe, but definitely a fun album

Arrival by ABBA

Metallica by Metallica

Saw this pop up and immediately thought, "ugh I don't want to listen to it." I know it's a "good album" and I have listened to it before, pretty recently actually, but my gut reaction here is gonna make it a 2 at best. Older Metallica I would've been jazzed to listen to.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

O.G. Original Gangster by Ice T

This album is feeling very long.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

I knew I liked this album, I didn't realize I was going to listen to it three times and still be dying to hear it with nice headphones.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

All Directions by The Temptations

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

Grace by Jeff Buckley

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17

I'm leaning towards a 3 with this album. It was an absolute delight with headphones on, and I really enjoy this type of music. I'm not so sure it needed to be included in the list, but it's a happy lil discovery nonetheless

Parachutes by Coldplay

In a past life, I would've given this more stars.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

Truth by Jeff Beck

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel

This is one of my favorite hidden gems

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie

This is a good time. I don't think I would like it if it was a male vocalist, but it's not, so that's pretty cool

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

Is This It by The Strokes

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers

This album is really good. Better than Skynyrd. The length is really what's keeping me from giving it 4 stars. I had a moment of "why is this even on the list," but it is a very very good example of modern southern rock. Not my favorite genre, but there are certainly things to appreciate.

Better Living Through Chemistry by Fatboy Slim

You've Come a Long Way Baby is in my regular rotation, and this album is also pretty good, but it's not at that level. Wish I'd listened to it in the headphones, probably will sometime, but today, this didn't hit for me as much as his other work.
