1001 Albums Summary

4.5 Excellent introduction to 1001albumsgenerator!

Listened to one song. I need a job where I can listen to the whole album every day!

3.5/5 pretty non offensive. Some classics I recognized. Kind of blends into the background of my 80s youth.

I like this better than Steely Dan. It was more musically interesting. 4/5

I can't wait to listen to this again and really absorb the lyrics. Perfect for a lazy Sunday with coffee, laundry, and a joint.

Pretty good, not sure I'd listen to it regularly. It reminds of being on drugs.

Good, but not my style. Feels like ambient music for a dumb coffee shop.

This was amazing!

Heavy-ish but really freaking good!

Fun, foundational to rap and hip-hop. Not really my style but the more I listened, the better it got! Probably would not purchase if I saw it at the thrift store.

Really good! I would pick this up if I saw it at the thrift store but I probably wouldn't but it full-price. Absolutely would listen again and recommend.

Really good! I can hear where New Order and OMD got their start. Absolutely would buy in a thrift shop or resale, probably not a new copy though.

Solid! Electronica meets hip-hop with some spoken word mixed in. Feels culturally relevant. Really good album! 4.0

I was just thinking about EC yesterday so I'm really happy to see this today! He takes me all the way back to high-school.

Come back to this later

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this album! I think I listened 2, maybe 3 times throughout the day. Excellent choice and I would absolutely pick this up if I saw it in the thrift store. I would say 4.5 stars; I'm saving the 5s for life-changing albums.

Decent enough. Maya and I played it in the background while she made me breakfast (veggie frittata:). I wouldn't buy this album or listen to it again although I can see why its popular.

Liked it more than I thought I would. The least interesting thing about The Doors is Jim Morrison. Fantastic band!

Fantastic! Mellow and Melancholy. I liked it more than I thought I would. It feels like rainy-day ambiance music. Would absolutely pick this up if I found it in the wild.

I've been listening to the Boss all week so this is a welcome surprise. I just bought this album at the GW:)

Excellent album! I can't wait to find a Wilco CD in the wild!

Didn't listen. I just had The Doors a few days ago and I wasn't in the mood. I'm sure it's great. Also, I'm sure I owned this at one point. 3.5

Pretty good but I wouldn't listen to this again.

DNF, I'll come back to this later

DNF sounds good but I got distracted. Will listen again later.

It's fine. Technically it's a solid album, I just don't think I'm in love with their style.

I woke up in a rotten mood and didn't want to listen to this. I'm so glad I did! It's poppy and sentimental without being sappy. I needed a break from the heaviness of my reality and this was a nice respite. It's a fun album and I can imagine it was fire in the 50s when it came out. I can only HOPE to find this on vinyl in the wild!

Fantastic album! I'm pretty sure I knew all the words to this one. 5/5 for it's social impact.

Meh. That Saturn song ruined SZA for me. The lyrics are dumb.

Pretty good, not in the mood for Tina today.

Fun and funky but got a little repetitive towards the end.

Excellent musicmanship, glad I never have to listen to this again. 2.5/5

Pretty fun and interesting. I recently scored this album at the thrift store and when I got it home the album inside was the wrong one! Boooooooo! 3.5/5 because it's a classic. Would buy the LP but not the CD. The 17 min title track has an irritatingly boring bass line that just b repeats and repeats and repeats.

I would absolutely buy this if I saw it in the wild! I'm giving it a second listen because when it was finished, my first thought was 'that's it?' 4.5/5

Wonderful album for background music. I'd buy it on vinyl but not cd. I'm giving it 4 because of it's historic legacy.

Fucknindont want to listen to this today but here goes.....it was fine.2.5/5 because I've been forced to listen to it too many times.

Bleh. It's gray and rainy today and I was hoping for music to match the weather. Oh well.....off to work I go. It's fine for mid-90s rap; I've just heard too much of it lately. 2.5/5

OK I'm listening......4.5/5 Fantastic and fun to listen to!

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. There were several recognizable hits that I would never have known who the artist was. Definitely something I would listen to in the background, not sure I would buy. 3.5/5

Fantastic mood music! 4.5/5

I've heard this album so many times and most of them i was HHIIGGH!!!

I couldn't wait for this to be finished......2/5

I think i have this album. Let me check.....I do. It's not bad. I like the music but his voice gets old pretty quick. My desk smells like blue cheese dressing.

Fine. I guess I'm not that into hip-hop. 2.5/3

I liked it more than I thought i would. 3.5/5

3.5/5 will definitely listen again when I'm blue.

4.5/5 fantastic!

I enjoy the music but not the lyrics. I get tired of this style very quick. 3/5 for cultural relevance and clearly musical talent.

3/5 Fine. I'd pick it up in a thrift store just for clout but I don't think I'll ever listen to it again.

I. Hate. This. It would have been listenable had they never once picked up the gimmicky jug thingy. Thank god I never have to listen to this again. 1/5

I've owned this album for decades and never once listened to it. And I'll probably never listen to it again.

Pretty good. I didn't finish the album but I did pick up a Billie Holiday CD at the thrift store today. I can listen to this as study or background music.

Someone said this is the missing link between hair bands and grunge and I can see that. However, I found it excruciatingly boring. 2/5

Very interesting to listen to! I love the funk vibe. I bet it would grow on me if I listened to it a few more times. 3.5/5

Love them, heard this a million times. 4/5

I accidentally gave Simon and Garfunkle's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme a 3 instead of a 4 because I was rushing so hard to give this one a 2/5. Thank god I never have to listen to this again. Grunting, boring, dry.

Meg. I knew the words to at least half the songs; not by choice. His voice is irritating after maybe the 3rd song. 3/5

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! 4/5 for cultural significance. I can understand why people don't like his voice but whatever, it doesn't bother me. The accompanying music is stellar!

The longer I listen, the more I hate. 2/5

Ya know, I really didnt like this and was going to give it a 2. Then i heard the guys voice and yeah, it's a 1 for me, dawg. 1/5

OK, you have my attention.....Loved it! I'm not sure if it's a 4 or 5, I'll give it a 5 just to be cool.

Technically sound and probably good but it melted into the background and I forgot I was listening to it.

I liked this better than BB King

I enjoyed the music more than the Elvis. I can see why he's considered white-washed black music.

I didn't wa t to love this but the more I listened, the better it got! 4/5

I want so bad to like this but it just kind of disappeared into the background for me. It feels like good study music-- no hook to distract me from my thoughts.

Pretty fucking good although a little repetitive in some parts. It was not a very long album? 4/5 because it's Bowie.

4/5 I can listen to this over and over while I putter around my lovely home.

I wanted to love this bit I only like it.

Always down for Tribe Called Quest!

Liked it more than I thought I would! Solid high-energy cleaning music! 4/5

I want to like this. There are a few catchy noises but overall I couldn't get into it. 2.5/5

Eh, it was fine. I wouldn't buy it.

Mystery Man was the highlight, I get sick of his voice. My dad loved Rom Petty:( 3/5

5/5heals my aching soul

4/5 I like The Beatles; they feel familiar and calming.

2nd day of The Beatles and I'm OK with that. 4/5

I'm thankful for all the comfort listens this week. 4/5

6/5 this is my kind of music. I wonder if ADHA brains eat this up because it gives the mind something solid to digest while the body and other parts of the mind are busy doing something else? I will absolutely listen to this again and again!

10/10 no notes This takes me back to the 90s. I was always a PJ fan as opposed to the slightly more popular Nirvana fans.

Excited....

3.5 I l9ve all the hits but the fillers took it down a peg.

Pretty good.

Always a 4/5 for Neil!

Love me some EC....4/5

I want to like this more; I guess I'm just not that cool.

Utterly forgettable background study sounds 2.5

I don't mind his voice. I like the music. I can get into the words. But goddammit I hate the harmonica. 2.5/5

Not bad but I'll probably never listen to this again. Plus one for cultural relevance.

I needed Neil today 4/5

I liked this better than their later, more experimental albums. 4/5

Meh

Need to give this a second and third listen. 4/5

I have this one:) And I can't believe I haven't made it a favorite in my rotation! 5/5

I have this one as well as the single.....5/5 naturally

More Talking Heads......

I hope this is good because I sincerely don't want to listen to TS right now:/ It was fine, very not offensive. 3/5

Lovely. I liked her better than Billie Holiday. 3/5

Better than I expected!

Love the high energy! 4/5

3.5/5 pretty not bad. The 2nd half of the album is way better than the first!

I love the music and lyrics! I don't love hos voice but it doesn't drive me up the wall like other polarizing voices. I miss my dad:(

I can see why this is a big favorite for audiophiles setting up equipment; it's got all the good sounds. I liked it, I'd probably buy it for clout, it may be in my regular rotation of yacht rock/classic rock. 4/5

It just keeps getting better......4/5

So fucking good! I'm definitely buying this one❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 5/5

Pretty not bad. 3.5/4

fooFIGHTAHS 3/5 good 'n all but there are other things I like better.

My forst experience with Nick Cave and I'm pleasantly surprised and also irritated 4/5

I didn't know I was a fan. This kept getting better and better. 4/5

CCR is always good

My dad died today. I hate everything except this album. 4/5

Not bad but too long

I want to hate this but I don't.....so far. 3/5 very enjoyable to listen to but somewhat depressing. Having just lost my dad I don't want anything depressing right now. She's wonderfully talented

Little Red Corvette is one of the best songs ever written!

Fucking fantastic! 5/5

Coupl'a bangers but I'm glad this is on the list so I can say definitely that I don't like Def Lep 2/5

Addictive

I'm always down for Neil

My kind of weird 4/5

Would. 4/5

My god I needed this! 4.5/5 will definitely add Otis to my regular rotation. Healing love songs💗

Pretty not bad! I want to tune out and let it blend into the background then something striking starts playing. 3.5/5 almost a 4!

It's fine. I've never been a fan although I can see why they were/are popular. The more I listen, the more I dislike. 2/5

Very unlikable with an occasionally solid drum or bass line.

3/5 solidly forgettable study music; not offensive in any way.

I don't feel like listening to Kendrick Lamar. So so much misogyny and sex. Not even in a cute, clever way. I genuinely hate this shit. Another 2/5 for KL. There are other artists i like better.

My Leaving Las Vegas Playlist. Loved! 5/5

Not gonna lie; they had me in the first half! I thought this was a shitty incel band from 1966 but it's Zappa:) 4/5

Thank fucking god......5/5

I liked this better than I thought I would. 4/5

I'm listening to this with open ears......Fuck Morrisey but maybe this will be ok? I fucking hate this. The lyrics from Bigmouth Strikes Again are fucking awful. The guitars/band are fine, Morrisey can suck it. 3/5 for cultural relevance. The first song that played after this album finished was Just Like Heaven and gd if I didn't need that perfect pallet cleanser! Thank you for you kindness, Robert Smith:)

Cute, very "Oh, Brother". 2/5 and will probably never listen to this again.

I love this! Too bad Win is apparently an asshole? Not like Morrisey-level, thank god. 4.5/5 I fucking love this!

It's fine I'm just not into funk today or probably any other day.

I just bought this album.....3/5 I liked Pirple Rain better

The first song was ok then it just kept getting worse. So boring. 2/5

This was a welcome surprise!

I love Billy Joel and I'm looking forward to listening to something familiar and comforting:) 4/5

Not bad. 3/5

Pretty not bad. 3/5

This was amazing!4/5

4/5 We grew up together metaphorically.

I love this slightly controlled chaos! 4/5

I'm trying gard but I'm just not a hige fan. I liked Nevermind better. 3/5

Pretty not bad! 4/5

5/5 I can't understate my absolute devotion to Meatloaf!

Meh. So very meh. I was surprised to hear a radio play song on here because it was so so very boring. 2.5/5

This was so much funnnnn! 5/5

To the End is my favorite. 3/5 kind of boring but not awful.

Needed some good-ass punk 4/5

This is so boring. So. Boring. 2/5

Extremely listenable 4/5

Kanaan said he would buy this. So would I:) 4/5

MacBeth is OK. Paris 1919 is OK. The rest gives me hope that I, with absolutely no musical talent, can make an album that would be included in someone's 1001 must listen-to's. 2/5 snoozer LOL it gets worse 1/5

So dang good! 4/5

4/5 I needed this so bad today! I got my ass PADDLED last night and I still have a ton of residual energy only Henry Rollins would understand.

3.5/5 really fucking good

One of my all time favorite bands although not my favorite of their albums. I love The Killers and I love Brandon! 4.5/5

I want to love this but I'm not quite there.....3.5/5

Foundational. I cam hear where Sublime, Primus, and others picked up some of their ideas. Love love loved! 5/5

This is one of the most iconic images from my childhood. I miss my dad:(

Loved but I think OK Computer is better 4/5

I know this album by heart.....5/5 for an excellent album soaked in nostalgia for me.

Another from my dad. The more I listen the more I realize how much my pops influenced me and my taste in music. I am a proud apple close to the tree 4/5

This was fun as hell! 4/5

Love 4/5

5/5 wtf was I thinking? Classic for a reason.

4/5 I need more of this in my life

Amazing album by one of my favorite bands

5/5

Technically wonderful but it's not my style. I'm not a fan of the high-pitched trumpet. 3/5

I was pleasantly surprised by this one! 3/5 I'd listen again but probably not purchase.

5/5 banged Michael in the back seat of my car today to this album. Easily my new favorite Bowie album😍

Jack White and Jack Black are appearing together tomorrow night on SNL and I won't miss it for the world!

Solid album, lots of classics. 3/5

I wanted to hate on this but there were some standout songs toward the end 3/5 I will probably never listen to this again.

It's fine. This sounds like something I would have pretended to love just because 'Nick the Dick' was into them or something like that. 3/5

I was going to give this 3 stars then I hears that awful singing. Ugh. 2/5

I need to give this another listen. I know it's better than 3 but I'm cranky and nauseous so it's getting a 3 for now. 3/5

This takes me back to cold mornings staring out the foggy bus window wishing I was anywhere but on my way to school. I hated it in 1988 and I hate it now. 2/5

It's fine but I couldn't tell you one single standout track. It just sort of blended into the background. 3/5

Wish You Were Here was one of my dad's favorite songs. I love this album and listen to it regularly. 5/5

She's wonderfully talented and I really enjoyed this although it's not really my style. 3/5

Love love loved but Neon Bible is still better 4/5

4/5 I'm always surprised at how good the music is, not justbher fun weirdness.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. The 1st 30 seconds are life changing 10/5 I'm seeing them in Belfast in June🔥

Paint it Black was good. I'm surprised at how much I didn't enjoy this considering the Rolling Stones.

Meh. The hits are fine but I'm just not a fan of this kind of guitar-heavy, high pitched rock. 3/5

You know the scene in Goonies where Chunk is describing the theater puke-a-rama and he makes that 'huuah...huuaaahh!' noise? That's what I hear in the beginning of Wilmot. Tow Truck is pretty good.

Pretty not bad. The more I listen the more I like.

Fuck yeah....5/5

I loved this but I can't see myself listening to it on the regular. 3/5

Fucking wonderful

Goddammit why is this growing on me so much. I want to hate but it keeps getting better and more interesting. 4/5

Definitely better than study music. I'm adding this t my regular rotation. 4/5

Pretty good. I hate to give it a 3 but 4 seems a little high idk. Upon a 2nd listening it's dedicated a 4/5

God I do love it darker 5/5

Fine. Everything is just fine.

It's fine. No, really I like it. 3/5

This is dumb. Clearly they're talented musicians but the songs and arrangements are wonky and take me put of my head space. It's fine 3/5

Fucking amazing I can't wait to listen to it again! 4/5

Not my jam but it was cathartic having rage metal in the background on the day i buried my father. 2/5

I don't know, I just don't feel like being yelled at today. 3/5 plus one star for excellent musicamanship.

Sure, no problem. Definitely blended into the background after a while. 3/5

What in the Putamayo World Music is this token shizzle. 2/5

Meh. It's not as bad as I thought it would be but I'd also never like to hear it again. 2/5 No no, it's awful. At one point it sounded like diarrhea echoing off on of those cold, steel rest stop toilets.

Buncha crybabies up in here this wasn't nearly as boring as you turkeys complained it was. 3.5/5

Fine. A bit nasaly and whiney for me but overall it was just fine. 3/5

Apparently I love Erykah Badu

Evergreen. 5/5

I enjoyed this but I think it would get annoying if I heard it too often. 3/5

Not sure if I'm high on endorphins or if I like jazz?!

Not bad but not something I would buy or add to my collection. 3/5

What can I say other than I love this album. 4/5 probably a 5/5 idk.

I was really looking forward to this album because I love their song cigarettes @ sunset but this album was only ok. I'll give it another shot and I would definitely pick it up if I saw it at the gw. 3/5

Fun 3/5

Hey, he's the guy that does the music in that public access show with Stephen Colbert. 5/5

Very enjoyable. I loved Your Quiet Heart until the harmonica took ot down a notch. Bleg. I like the comparison to The Smith's minus the douchery. 4/5

Very enjoyable. I loved Your Quiet Heart until the harmonica took ot down a notch. Bleg. I like the comparison to The Smith's minus the douchery. 4/5

Got dang this was long and incohesive.

F*ck yeah.

Very enjoyable. 4/5

OK. I listened. I can move on. 2/5

Smarmy. 3/5

Fantastic and all the better because it's so over the top on purpose! I feel like I should buy a gun in case I need to start poppin caps 4/5

Janie got tired of gropey, grapey, old guys and armed herslf against the patriarchy. This album is either an unintentional feminist manifesto concept album or bad honky screamo. 1/5 #TeamJanie

Mother never fails to make me cry 5/5

Fine.

Pretty not bad. 3/5

I love the retro 80s vibe and the sweet vocals. I'm excited to hear more from them. 4/5

One of my all time favorites for a got dang reason. 5/5

Fuck that fucking harmonica. 2/5

Love but also kind of annoying at times.3.5/5

Fun, upbeat, sexy without being pervy 4/5

I've listened to it 3 times today and it's better each time 4/5

10/5 soundtrack to my youth.

Is it bad? Is it good? Is it parody? I'm so confused; it's like that feeling of sliding down the rope in gym class 4/5 for making me question my own beliefs and probably morals.

I happen to be a fan so this was easy for me. I do like some of their other stuff better so this is only a 4/5. Only, lol.

The theremin sounds like a didgeridoo for ghosts. Goddess on a Hiway was cool but this is just not my style. 2/5

I feel bad only rating this a 3 knowing how iconic it is, I'm just not now and never was a big fan. Some cools memories, though. 3/5

Meh. It didn't have its own personality just that of 5 other bands from 6 different genres. 3/5

I happen to be a fan so this was an easy 5/5 for me.

I don't know why it gets so much hate. I've heard much worse. I'll probably never listen to it again not because I didn't enjoy it but because I have 750 more albums to go.

I have this on vinyl....absolute classic 5/5

What a lovely thing to hear❤️

I still don't like the Rolling Stones. 2/5

I thought Changes was my favorite Bowie album but I was pleasantly wrong 5/5
