1001 Albums Summary

My least favorite LCD album? I’m a fan. Each before this had at least one song that grabbed me that I still listen to. Maybe I got bored of them? Or thought the magic was gone after they “retired” and then suddenly came back.

I mean it’s Muddy Waters 🤷🏼‍♂️ This is great

I am sure I never listened to this whole album. Of course I know Sledgehammer from the video. That video is a core memory. This still of 80’s production/music has always been off putting to me. But I love his voice.

Have never listened to the whole album. Obviously know the hits because they were everywhere on MTV & radio at the time. Synth-pop isn’t my thing. But I can dig this. Her voice is great.

I respect their place in history, just isn’t my thing.

Not my favorite Bruce.

Nope. Just not my thing.

Yes. For an American I have an unnatural love of Blur.

White guy cosplay. Blues for people who think mayo is spicy.

Not my favorite former Beatle solo album.

I dig the time period and the general sound but it didn’t really grab me.

I can respect it. Not my thing.

Never heard of that band or album before this and I love it.

Not my thing

I waffled on this. One minute I liked it. One minute I hated it. One minute I loved it.

Current Austin would say 3 or 4 stars. Austin when this came out would say 5 stars. Going with younger Austin. Still a great album.

No thanks. I guess I just hate “pop” music.

Overblown when it came out. Still unlistenable to me now.

Going 3. I feel like it’s wrong to go lower. But for me this album has some of the greatest songs of all time (Dear Prudence) and some of the most grating on my nerves (the oh bla di thing)

Can’t stand this.

I can appreciate it and in general am fascinated by Eno. But I wouldn’t sit around listening to this.

Admittedly had never heard of this band but I loved this.

Music for people who think alcoholism and lung cancer are cool. How TF is this on a list of albums you need to listen to before you die?

Just feels like a white guy cosplaying. And Van is a dick.

I just couldn’t.

I assumed I was going to hate this but didn’t.

I just couldn’t get into it. Sappy.

I just couldn’t get into it. Sappy.

Absolutely fucking not. I’d rather listen to the meth head at the bus stop down the road beatbox and fart.

I can with this type of stuff. In my head I just see pretentious white dudes in the corner of a coffee shop singing this with the air that they’ve tapped into some really deep meaning. But no.

I can’t stand this guys voice.

You couldn’t escape this in the late 80’s. I cringed then and do now.

I read about this before I listened because old never heard of it. From what I read I assumed I would hate it. But I actually loved it.

Nah. It’s the late 1960’s. The Byrds say “let do some psychedelic stuff so we’ll be cool like everyone else!” It didn’t work.

Odd how the version of me would have given this 4 or maybe 5 stars. But now this is barely listenable. Outside of “Ready, Able” it all sounds whiny.

I didn’t hate this. Didn’t love it. Like a more chill Oasis.

I wish I could get into Lou. I think he’s fascinating and I respect the influence he’s had on music. But I just never can.

Layla turns out to be the least interesting song. As much of a twat as I think Clapton is this album is amazing because of the other cast of characters. Bell Bottom Blues & their version of Key to the Highway have been in my rotation since I was a teenager.

I love the music on this, 4 stars. Had heard of Roxy Music but never listened. The vocals throw it off for me. It’s a style I just can’t enjoy.

Liked it better than I figured I would. Love the bass player

Nope. This is what I imagine incels listen to in their mom’s basement after the pretty cheerleader turns down their advances.

I mean is there another Megadeth album on this list somewhere? Because if not then they picked the wrong one. This is just ok. But if this is here I really hope Peace Sells is too.

I’m old enough to remember when The GoGo’s were all over MTV. Had only ever heard the hits, but I actually liked this. Not sure if I liked it enough to put it in rotation. But I liked it.

4 stars for Gut Feeling alone. But the rest of it holds up as well.

interesting. I can respect it. But an hour of it is a bit much.

Man WTF was wrong with us in 1998. I didn’t own this but it was around and I thought I liked it? But man it’s unlistenable to my brain now. WTF was wrong with us? The drugs must have been so good.

I want to like this. I feel like I’m missing something.

Just feels like a white guy cosplaying. And Van is a dick.
