Fun House by The Stooges
Aug 25 2025

A short, but decent album. It has a gritty/unpolished sound that adds to the atmosphere. I'd say there were about 4 songs that I'd revisit.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 26 2025

I kind of expected this to be a good album just based off of the fact that I've heard some stuff by The Smashing Pumpkins before. This album exceeded my expectations; I enjoyed every song. It's just amazing alt-rock. 10/10

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Aug 27 2025

Not really a huge fan of this album. I think it's more of a personal taste thing though. The specific style of rock here just doesn't do it for me.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Aug 28 2025

I'm not personally a huge fan of the early rock & roll era sound.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 29 2025

I hadn't listened to much Fleetwood Mac before now, but I'm pleasantly surprised by this album. The Blues-Rock style in this music is pretty relaxing to listen to.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Aug 31 2025

Considering that Radiohead is one of the most successful/influential alt-rock bands of all time, it doesn't surprise me that this album is widely considered a masterpiece. I don't think there's a single bad song on this album. Amazing Listen.

Soul Mining by The The
Aug 31 2025

I think the coolest thing about this album is that I can't pin a genre to it, it sounds like a mix of a bunch of different stuff. The track Soul Mining in particular is probably my favorite off the record.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Sep 01 2025

The ambience in this album is beautiful. The vocals and instrumentation are immaculate. My favorite track is probably Cherry-coloured Funk. Overall, this album might be one of the best I've ever heard. No skips.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sep 02 2025

I don't know how to feel about this sound. I found the lyrics to be interesting though. Black Mirror is probably the stand-out song on the album for me.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 03 2025

Can't go wrong with CCR. Their unique blend of rock, blues, and country was a huge influence in the music world.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Sep 05 2025

The whole albums got a nice groove to it. Catchy lyrics and choruses.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Sep 06 2025

I don't think I'm fluent enough musically to explain the effect that The Beatles had on music without just copying someone else's words. This album was good.

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 09 2025

This album has a nice atmosphere to it, and all the songs have their own unique trait that makes them stand out.

Kenza by Khaled
Sep 10 2025
The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 11 2025

I'm not really a fan of the style of country-rock on this album.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 13 2025

One of the best rap albums I've ever heard. I knew about this one before it showed up in my 1001 but I will never pass up an opportunity to listen to this masterpiece again.

Dare! by The Human League
Sep 14 2025

Nice synth-pop album

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 15 2025

I don't think I've heard much alt-rock from this era, but it's very nice.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Sep 16 2025

Catchy rap-rock. From what I've read/heard, Beastie Boys played a huge part in making the genre popular.

Drunk by Thundercat
Sep 17 2025

I've known about Thundercat for a while but I've never checked out any of his projects. Them Changes is a basic choice but it's still probably my favorite song off the album, I've known about that song way before I listened to the album though. The listening experience as a whole was nice; most of the songs had a nice groove to them.

Sep 18 2025

This album is definitely not for me. I just don't find this style of music to be pleasant at all personally. I won't say it's bad outright because I don't know enough about the genre/message to give an opinion other than I don't like it sound-wise.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Sep 21 2025

Every song has a nice groove to it. Very pleasant album

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Sep 22 2025

Forgettable. I didn't find any of the lyrical content to be particularly interesting and I'm not a fan of the vocal style they went for on this project.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Sep 24 2025

Felt a little generic. I listen to a LOT of heavy music, whether that be old bands or new bands, but Slayer just isn't as pleasant to listen to compared to most bands imo.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Sep 27 2025

I really enjoyed this entire album. When I was younger, I didn't like The Beatles because I thought they were lame old people music, but as I've grown, so has my taste. I can say now that The Beatles is one of my favorite bands from the 60s

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 20 2026

After listening to OK Computer earlier on in my 1001 I feel like I can say that I prefer this album. It's still got that radiohead vibe to it but I enjoy the overall sound of this album better.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Apr 22 2026

I don't really have any super negative or positive comments for this album. It's just decent music that I might throw on in the background while I'm doing something.

Medúlla by Björk
Apr 30 2026

Not for me
