1001 Albums Summary

Solid album, could have been 10/10 of it was a few songs shorter.

Classic

Great Album. A bit too wordy but would listen to again

Early 2000’s classic

This album is perfect. A bittersweet masterpiece and a very fitting end for David Bowie

Interesting, whimsical and even musically beautiful at times. The vocal delivery was a bit too performative at times but overall good all around

This album is great if you like being yelled at while listening to punk rock/new wave instrumentals in the background with quite possibly the worst sounding saxophone ever. That sounds harsh but I did enjoy it. This is one of those listen to once every few years type of albums. Warrior in Woolworths was my fave song mostly because the vocals were toned down and actually enjoyable

It had been long since I last heard this album. It was better than I remembered. Good stuff

An essential album for any Beatles fan and any music fan for that matter!

Love instrumental music! This will need more listening!

I don’t listen to Rap/Hip hop, I’m out of my depth. Some of the music was cool but was very repetitive and the rapping gets overwhelming quick

Short and sweet

Great live album with outtakes that make it feel genuine and loose and a good time all around

This took me back to my days in high school. This album was everywhere, touched everything. As good now was it was then. Maybe a bit long but a must listent

Cool was born in 1957, still cool nearly 70 years later

An essential album for any music fan. It is one of the greatest albums, works of art, collaborative piece that has ever been made by mankind. A monumental achievement in every sense. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

Couldn’t get through this album, this was background music to me and I don’t care to go back, too damn long

I had no idea this band was so into religion. It was alright. Don’t love or hate it. It just is.

A pop punk classic, though also a bit long. Seems once the CD became the medium of choice bands were stuffing albums to the brim, why the label or producers were allowing this is beyond me. This could have been a 10/10 hasd it been shorter by 3-4 songs

What a wild ride!! Really loved this album, the eccentric sound and wild passages leading right into beautiful sections of sonic excellence

Great album to relax to. Will definitely listen again.

This one is going to take me a few days to listen to cause it’s 2 hours long but I’m enjoying so far

This album changed music forever. 55 years later there is still nothing like it in the world. The Jimi Hendrix Experience is something we we’ll never see the like of ever again. I for one am happy to have lived in a place and time where I can appreciate it. What an amazing trip through sound!

Didn’t think I would like this but they’re much better live than in studio

Cool stuff, time to explore the bands other albums

A classic album. A portent of things to come

I will need to revisit this album

Highly overrated. I’ve listened to this album before and didn’t like it. I dreaded having to listen to it again. It was such a chore

Neat stuff

I don’t know what it is about the Foo Fighters that just doesn’t hit like other bands doo. It’s like there’s something missing but I can’t put my finger on it. The music isn’t bad, I just can’t get into it.

Generic 90’s alt-song, something safe and boring, generic 90’s alt-song, something from Seattle??

Weird how most albums from the 70’s still sound amazing but a lot from the 80’s sounds dated. Unfortunately this album falls in the latter category, I don’t like a lot of 80’s music much for that reason alone. All the music sounds cheesy and corny and this album is full to the brim with cheese. If I look past the 80’s production, the songs are alright. I enjoyed it but the sounds made me suffer from vicarious embarrassment haha

These songs always remind me of driving through town on weekend mornings with my ex-girlfriends family, K-Earth 101 playing through the old stereo in her step-dads car, this was around 2003, good times.

The very definition of classic rock. Not huge on Aerosmith but an enjoyable listen

F*cking solid! I don’t have this on vinyl but I will soon.

Sometimes it felt like Bob Dylan, other times it was country as heck. Quite enjoyable

Alt rock at its finest. I cannot stress how influential this band has been on my own music. Love it.

That this was released in 1975 is absolute insanity. I can hear so much that influence grunge bands from Washington in the 80s, mostly Mudhoney, and beyond, this is a legendary album.

This was better than that twisted fantasy album. If I ignore the rapping the music was more interesting but still repetitive

I’ve always thought of Tom Petty as generic classic rock. Stuff the whole family can enjoy if the whole family has no real interest in music, just want the background noise. It’s not bad but it’s certainly forgettable only seconds after a song or the album is over

I don’t like the sound of 80’s pop production. The album was mostly tough to get through, up until the last three songs. Fucking bangers. Though I would not listen to as a whole ever again

The chillest. Need more music like this

Neat collection of covers by a legend of country and music in general

This is a sample pack as an album. Good in short clips and has been used commercially to great effect. 90’s viral music

Was not expecting this from the kinks. Quite enjoyable, a bit forgettable though

I’ve been learning French for months now so this was a treat, I’m still very new but I was able to pick up a few phrases. All that aside this was an enjoyable listen

An essential 90’s album. Blending soul, R&B and rap into a concept album and production that feels timeless

I thought I would have liked this more based solely on the fact that this album is from 1969 one of the greatest years from music in history, but it was just OK. Underwhelming.

Already listening to it again!! So good!

This was kinda enjoyable, can’t really remember any of the songs though. Would I listen to it again? No

I can’t get into this band, my mind and my body are indifferent.

A collection of great songs but way too fucking long. This is getting a three for that reason alone

Aside from the singles this album is 100% nu metal cringe. From the lyrics to the rapping, I honestly have no idea how this album made it on this list

I wish I could listen to this album while riding a horse through a western desert town with my gun at my side. It’s a vibe

Led Zeppelin saved my life 9 times. They also released 9 albums, coincidence? I think not!! This album is perfect from the first note to the last

Always a good listen. It doesn’t sound like much now but at the time this was groundbreaking stuff.

This was background music. Nothing more to say.

So many different sounds in this album, blending genres on every track and doing it well. Quite and enjoyable listen

Slash deserved to be in a better band. If I could delete a song from history it would be Sweet Child O’ Mine, otherwise this is a decent album if you’re in the mood for hard rock

Solid album with some great guitar riffs, “I’m shakin’” is a banger

Can’t imagine the rampant homophobia on this album aged all that well. “It was a different time” sure grandma, let’s get you to bed. Like most rap albums I’ve encountered it’s too fucking long. I hope Eminem has seen someone about his anger issues and is in a better place now.

The first disc was a slog, disc 2 though was pretty damn good, this should have been released as two separate albums cause collectively it was TOO LONG!!

This was my first experience listening to a Cure album all the way through and it was great. Looking forward to their other albums

I mean it was alright

This started off cool but got old quick. From the repetitive beats to Chuck D’s monotone voice, by the end of the album I wanted to cut off my ears. One song blended into another and it grew tiresome and again why does every rap album need to go for so long?

It’s folky, it’s soothing, reminds me of fantasy and that’s a huge comfort zone for me. Loved it

Some good tunes but Van’s vocal style becomes overbearing on a few tracks, almost to the point of being unlistenable

I didn’t think I would like this but here we are. A little bit of background, I was in high school when this album released, it was everywhere, I didn’t give it a chance back then because I didn’t like either of the singles, I still don’t like them much, i don’t think they’re a good representation of the album as a whole but that’s just me. This is by no means an essential album for me now, just wanted to state that it was better than I expected.

This turned into background music quickly, the only track that caught my attention was their rendition of In The Pines. That was neat.

Another rap album, at least this one didn’t overstay its welcome. Some tracks were good but still musically repetitive. I don’t know if a version of rap exists out there for me but I’m hopeful

So this is where that baby talk singing came form huh? Her version isn’t as annoying as other but it got really distracting at times

Rockin’ good tunes. Will be listening to again

I don’t remember much from it but I also don’t hate it.

More background music

This was my first time listening to a smiths album, very moody and lyrics that make total sense when I think about articles that have stated that Morrissey is a huge cunt. I quite enjoyed it though haha

I wasn’t in the mood for moody music, I did like some of the songs though, the radio hit kind of annoyed me cause it’s so overplayed. Maybe the next cute album will find me in the right mood

Always a pleasure

Moody, chill, emotional in just the right amounts

Short n sweet. Chill as heck, can’t imagine I’ll ever listen to it again but it was enjoyable

Definitely on the better side of 80’s music. “I could give you (a mirror)” is a banger

Why is this album on this list?

Umm… more background music, even the radio hit is mostly forgettable, safe rock. Or pop with a rock edge but the edge is blunted for safety

Chock full of classic muddy waters songs, harmonica goes a bit too hard but that just the blues

Some wild lyrics on this album haha. Some of the songs were hokey and others were good.

So much chill. Good stuff

Neat metal stuff

Ramblin’ Jack Elliot be ramblin’. I heard a lot of Bob Dylan’s early work on here. Bob must have had this on repeat along with Woodie Guthrie. Pretty neat

One of the greatest albums of all time. Nuff said

I love the blues, gimme more

Some interesting bits but mostly background music

Groovy tunes

This album changed the way I think about what music could be, the sounds, the structures, everything. After this prog would become one of my favourite genres.

Old timey whimey pop, some solid tunes on here and Quentin Tarantino’s fave version of Preacher Man?

Really interesting stuff. Sounded like they could have done a theme to a bind movie in an alternate universe

No skips on this one. Tales of Brave Ulysses is song I wish I wrote. So good.

Some good tunage!

This was too damn good, listened to it twice.

Felt like a compilation of Christmas scenes from Martin Scorsese movies

The storytelling is very interesting. Beautiful voice as well

G-funk is definitely a more tolerable form of rap music, doesn’t feel ans repetitive cause the loops are funky as heck, and snoops monotone is easier on the ears than Chuck D’s because he’s way more chill. Though lyrically this was silly, extremely misogynistic and angry. I do enjoy it more than most rap records

Pure excellence! “I’m in Love with My Car” is one of my favorite songs of theirs. The guitar work and tone is face melting! Gimme more!

I was obsessed with this album for so long. I had it on cassette cause my ex-girlfriend’s car had a cassette deck. She had a red 1992 Toyota Corolla. We used to drive around town listening to this and the Doors (her favorite band at the time). To this day there is nothing like it, it is singular.

If Rod Stewart was a woman he would be called Sheryl Crowe. Most of this album was forgettable except for the last two songs, those felt more sincere

This album is amazing for its political stance but it’s also depressing when you realize not much has changed. Great tunes though

I heard it but don’t remember any of it.

Aja is amazing! This album was meh, had some moments but I couldn’t get into it.

Good kid mid city. I heard this guy Kendrick was good but that was kinda mid. This is coming from a non rap person so take that however you like, not my thing

Does anyone know any of the other songs on this album besides “Don’t You Want Me”? All the songs nearly sounded identical

This was chill, though my brain can’t focus on the lyrics because the repetitive nature of the music makes it kind of dull.

I know Eric Clapton is highly regarded but this was kinda boring. Layla is peak though!

Loved this, will definitely listen again

Some neat stuff, mostly forgettable though

This album sounds like ass. 80’s privileged white boy rock. Some songs are decent, likely will not listen to again

This was boooooooooring

Solid debut album. 8/10 Will listen again

I can see why this was such a big deal but I can’t help but think I’ve heard all these songs before, done better by singers like Etta James and Aretha Franklin, and even more recent acts like Lauryn Hill and Beyonce. Not bad but nothing groundbreaking here

Interesting songs, might listen to again

This had me on the fence for the entire run. Unfortunately I couldn’t get on entirely, very bland at time.

As a non rap/hip-hop person, I actually really enjoyed this. Music was far better than most rap albums

For a group with a lot of hype I expected more, the lyrics are good but the music is just okay. The repetitiveness of it is really distracting at times

I know all these songs, though I didn’t know they were all on the same album. Still, these are borderline generic classic rock songs. Safe pop rock for young teens of the era.

Was not expecting this to feel like a country rock album.

Some interesting songs here. Not likely to listen to again though

An absolute classic. The power and command she has over her voice is astounding!

I didn’t know what to expect from this but I was pleasantly surprised. Some cool riffs and strange mixing experimentation made this a treat. Will listen again soon

Had some good moments but I mostly zoned out. Nothing more to say

I need to listen to this again, so many good grooves but I was a little distracted.

A classic so they say, but I found it somewhat a bore.

More background music, next!

I like it but then I don’t like it. Can’t make up my mind

Always forget how good this album is. Glad I have it on vinyl. That’s my flex for the day 😆

A no skip album. Nuff said

Some hit some missed, overall s good album though

More

Mid

A classic

Freebird!!

Listened to this 3 times before moving on, great stuff

Mesmerizing

This album used to blow my mind, it still does but it used too!

Mostly background music but the last song “The British Opera” was a banger

Not my fave Bowie but still has some great tunes

What a singular voice. Love the blend of genres on didplay here. Will listen to again

Straight to the point. Great energy.

Great songs of love. Timeless production.

Was not expecting Beck to sound like this, good stuff

Feels like Bowie but it ain’t Bowie and that’s not a bad thing

Much better than that mad city album musically. Even the constant rapping was bearable

So much rhythm and feel in every song. I want more

Groovy baby

Chock full of classics

Neat

Voice gets kinda annoying after a few songs

Neat

I’m not a rap fan but I was excited to listen to this album because it has a reputation for being a classic. Unfortunately it fell flat for me. More repetitive, uninteresting music. I’ve never heard a group that likes to name drop their own group name more than this. This was a slog and a chore to get through.

Neat

The good stuff

Couldn’t finish this. Got really boring

Amazing vocals. Sounds a lot like Lauryn Hill at times.

Great voice on a bunch of forgettable songs

Background music
