Popular Reviews

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg · 1 likes

1/5

The excessive use of profanity makes this a poor choice for me. I don’t have a problem with the use of cursing in music. But this goes for shock value and fails. Almost unlistenable.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul · 1 likes

Tried it, didn't like it.

Probably could have died before listening to this. But didn’t so…

Hms Fable

Shack

4/5

I had never heard of this band or album before this project sent it as the first one of 1001. Having listened to over half of it, I really like it. Their harmonies remind me of the Moody Blues and Jefferson Airplane. I bit of 60s psychedelic without the too much weirdness. Added it to my Apple Music collection!

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

Classic Beatles when they were at the top of their hit making fab period. Really enjoyed listening to this one again. Starting with the title song this one is a great LP all the way through.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

Although there are a couple standouts on this LP (Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova) I just find most of it a difficult listen. The lyrics as well as the vocals seem forced and without passion. I struggled to like Oasis back in the 90s, and I don't feel the test of time as proven my original reaction to be any different.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

This album is an early glam rock/pop effort. Had the pleasure of seeing them perform in 1972, where they played these tunes. Actually think this album catches some of that live energy while still sounding well produced. I enjoying hearing this one and feel it has with stood the test of time well. Sad he wasn't around longer to hear his music evolve.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

All the elements are there but not quite formed into a cohesive consistent whole. A good start but not near as great as Mezzanine.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Having never consciously explored her music, this was a real treat. A bit out of my world back in the day. I really enjoyed every song on this LP.

Slayed?

Slade

4/5

Heard of them, but never listen to this LP before. Deceptively simple rock. However, there is more here. The easy thing would to say this is a precursor to AC/DC, and that is probably true but there is more. Slade has more emphasis on harmonies. I could hear elements that reminded me of The Beatles, and Queen. Overall, much more entertaining than I would have suspected from the cover art.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

One of my top ten albums and arguably the best Radiohead LP.

Orbital 2

Orbital

2/5

Maybe playing on a large system at a rave party this would be ideal. I can almost visualize the lights and dancing bodies. On its own years later it seem too simple and doesn’t even work for me as background music. Definitely would not have included this in a top 1001.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

1/5

The excessive use of profanity makes this a poor choice for me. I don’t have a problem with the use of cursing in music. But this goes for shock value and fails. Almost unlistenable.

Violent Femmes

3/5

Remarkable album but flawed by the vocals which really can get annoying after a couple of songs. There are some stand outs here and I can see how it ended up on this list. Some heavy influence on future bands.

The Specials

3/5

I did buy this one on vinyl back in its day. Had not heard it in many years. Entertaining still, yes. Yet, only a few songs actually stand out as classics. Can’t say that I would listen to it very often.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

This album is cool with a capital K. Great for listen before, during, and after almost any thing.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

5/5

One of Zappa's best and it actually hold up really well. Probably the only time I have enjoyed Captain Beefheart's vocals.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

While I was not overly interested in his voice, the writer has a lot to say and listening to his words works for me. It took me many years to warm up to his singing style. But I am onboard now and this is a gem of an album.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

I was never country music fan. Yet Johnny Cash some how was and early crossover type. This album is an amazing record of a bad boy singing to a bunch of other bad boys. The prison crowd loves it and so does Johnny. Probably one of the best live albums ever recorded.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

4/5

Had never heard this one. It was out during a really busy time in my life: raising children, moving, new work. So, wish I had heard it before. Nice sound.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

When this came out a friend of mine put it down, claiming the days of prog rock were over. I responded with a noncommittal response while secretly think these guys were brilliant. They have not only stood the test of time, but the first half stakes out their right to the top niche in their genre. good stuff.

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

They rock! But I just never really fell for Eddie’s vocals. Probably their best LP. Could live without them.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

1/5

Tried and failed to enjoy this. This wouldn’t make on my 100,001 album list.

Eagles

2/5

Has a few really popular songs, but I was never a fan of the country rock genre. Seems way over rated.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

These guys almost make metal listenable. Almost! Barely made it through this one. So maybe one or two songs could make the list, not the whole LP.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

1/5

This has very little if any redeeming value!

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

Country music from this era is just plain depressing and boring!

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Peak Zeppelin!

Joan Armatrading

2/5

A couple good songs here, but not an enjoyable listen.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

Tried and failed to get into country rock. This goes down with the Eagles as over rated.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

4/5

3 or 4? Always appreciated their inventiveness but never listened to them much.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Glad to see this one making the list. Very inventive and some beauty too!

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

1/5

This may have some historical value for rap music, but it almost unlistenable. Just annoying now.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

is this really him at his best? Maybe it wasn’t the title he would have chosen. Great voice. Talented and influential.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

1/5

Boring and over rated.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

1/5

Good for about 1 song. Too vulgar and annoyingly uninspired. .

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

5/5

One of their best. Before they got too weird from some.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

This is a good album but has as few bits that don't hit as strong. With a few edits this could be a 5.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

1/5

Tried it, didn't like it.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

5/5

Groundbreaking and extraordinary. Still resonates today.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

The best post Beatles album by McCartney. Still holds up as entertaining all these years later.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Always wanted to enjoy this album but it sounds so overproduced and dense. Prefer 'The River' as my favorite Springsteen album. Would love to hear a re-mixed version of this album where the instrumentation is not so buried. Still it is consider a classic and belongs on this list.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

5/5

When this came out; wife, children, work, university. Left little time for this one to hit my radar. First listen makes, wonder how I would have reacted hearing then? I like it now.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

Very relaxing and cool jazz. Certainly influential and excellent.

The Band

2/5

Really never could understand the massive appeal of The Band. This doesn't change that fact.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Sounds dated but still I can see why some people may still enjoy it.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

2/5

Interesting voice but ultimately rather boring and hard to make it through the whole album.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Interesting and enjoyable!

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Groundbreaking LP. Took a while but I have appreciation for this music and the influence it had on many artists.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

5/5

This album is amazing. Eno and Bryne complement each other building from their work together on Talking Heads 'Remain in Light'.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

2/5

MIght have like this back in the day. Listening to it for the first time it seems dated and and vocals are irritating.

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

Good enough to be on the list? Maybe for some. but not for me.

Adele

2/5

A couple of these songs carry some power. Mostly middle of the road pop.

The La's

2/5

Has some nostalgic power. Still it seemed like the high school memory for the masses.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

A few albums have come across that I had never heard before that simply blow me away. This is one. One of the Mingus was one of coolest cats that had considerable influence on the evolution of jazz.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Good voice and nice songs. It seems too boring, yet still provides entertainment.

Van Halen

4/5

Their best album? Eddie sounds great.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Far from today's country and a really ground breaking album. Great voice. Dated and boring production.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

This album is great. Hadn't really listened to their early albums. Maybe not as great as Aja, but still belongs on this list.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

1/5

Did nothing for me!

Cypress Hill

1/5

Did not enjoy this.

Horses

Patti Smith

3/5

Although it is highly rated, I still don't hear any compelling vocals here. Influential and talented lady. But not something I would want to listen often.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Like it.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

2/5

Rave party, yes! Casual listening, NO!

Joanna Newsom

3/5

Strange and a bit annoying voice. Lyrics are interesting.

Stephen Stills

4/5

My least favorite of the CSNY team. His singing style does get annoying. However this first LP is pretty darn good. Definitely dated, and not something I would listen to often.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

Not as good as some of their albums. Disintegration and Faith are more interesting.

Moby Grape

4/5

Quite listenable if not memorable.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

1/5

Really? So annoying to hear, vulgar language and misogynistic. Would give it -1 if I could.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

One of if not his most popular LIstenable and likable!

The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

I had never heard this one. Excellent indie style. I hear, and I like.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Good sixties pop/folk LP. Big harmonies and well crafted if a bit dated sound.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Good rocking LP.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Good Jazz record.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Interesting but not something I would put on rotation.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

5/5

Fantastic remodeling of the 60's King Crimson. Was luck enough to see this material played live at the Majestic Theater in Dallas, 1973. This is high on my list of all time top LPs.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

Not as good as Faith or Disintegration. But still amazing.

Queens of the Stone Age

Queens Of The Stone Age

3/5

Rather entertaining rock music. The new LPs are better, but this one holds some magic.

System Of A Down

1/5

Too monotonous and uninteresting.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

5/5

Nice sound with cool vibe.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

5/5

He demonstrates his writing style and makes a classic LP. LIsten again.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

1/5

Surprised to hear this. Shouldn’t have made the cut. Loud and obnoxious

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

5/5

Alway liked this one. Holds up darn well. Although Sting's vocals can tend to irritated after a while.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

He wasn’t around long enough, but his influence and musical legend live on. This LP show why.

The Coral

2/5

Interesting and not annoying. But nothing special here.

I See You

The xx

2/5

Like their earlier LPs. This one bores

The Blueprint

JAY Z

1/5

Don’t hear what all the hype is about. Way overrated.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

His earlier stuff was better, but this one still show his vocal power.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

1/5

POS human, but he could rock. Can live with out him as other played these tunes for us.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

4/5

Great voice, good LP. I like some of his later music better.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

What can I write that we haven’t already read. Essential Beatles LP.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

1/5

Average or less.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

1/5

Seems I am not the best audience for this one. Can live without it.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Beautiful music from the 60's.

Truth

Jeff Beck

5/5

Great album. Jeff Beck’s guitar sound is unique and Rod Steward was great before he sold out.

Ramones

4/5

Some humor really makes them stand out. Fun and amusing if you’re in the mood.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Probably their best. And holds up really well.

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Great band with some really good tunes here. Should be up there with the rest of the 60's pop.

GREY Area

Little Simz

1/5

This doesn't seem to work for me. One star

Cut

The Slits

2/5

Don't seem overly talented. Although the cover probably help sell some records.

The Joshua Tree

5/5

Excellent U2 LP.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

She has a great lounge bar voice. Unfortunately only a few songs stand out. Overall a bit forgetable.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

1/5

Just no, these guys are no talented. Boring to the max!

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

A pop band goes a bit off the commercial path and it works! Nice album.

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Either too dark to not dark enough.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

1/5

Maybe a great record for urban seduction. I can't stand it.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

Unapologetic Rock N Roll. I can almost make it through the whole album without a break. Just good rock.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

2/5

One trick pony and after the first couple of tunes, nothing new.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Interesting and mildly entertaining in the background.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Mostly great stuff here.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

Recently read someone assessment The Who's studio albums never captured their real power. Here their live energy is on full, powered to 11. John Entwistle's and Keith Moon's made one of the best teams of 60's rockers. The expanded edition of this record covers most of Tommy and in many ways is better that the studio recording.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

4/5

Missed this one. A nice find. A bit dated sound but overall one of the few records that I never heard before on this list.

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

A different era, slow countrified harmonized pop. Big influence on S&G, Beatles, Beach Boys... the list goes on. Great to hear in the background like crickets.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Something, Because, Here Comes The Sun, one of if not the best Beatles LPs.

Scissor Sisters

2/5

The Pink Floyd and Bee Gees mash up of “Comfortably Numb” is fun. Be the rest is meh.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

Nice voice and some good lyrics.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Like all of his albums there is great and some filler. This stands as mostly great!

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Influential and groundbreaking. Great record.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

4/5

Good 60's rock. A bit dated, but if your in the mood or an old hippie...

Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

Couple of soft rock hits with great harmonies. Sad story about Karen Carpenter…

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Really cool music for the soul.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

3/5

He writes good stuff, but not fan of his singing.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Arguably at his electric best here. His vocals can be irritating, but he can rock.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

1/5

Maybe they help Dylan turn from pure folk, but on their own they are boring.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

2/5

Sadly this just isn't fun or irritating. Just mediocre.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

4/5

Good music, Great to see more variety making this list.

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

4/5

Likable with a cool is not necessarily unique sound.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

Way over rated but still influential. Never mind.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

1/5

Nothing here

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Some of these songs are almost irresistible. Yet Jeff Lynne really overproduces and can overwhelm.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

One of his best if not his best.

Run-D.M.C.

1/5

Can see how this might have been interesting back then. Today's listen is really boring and bad.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Absolutely brilliant LP. Really strong songs that made him a star.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

3/5

This is 80s pop/rock that if you were not there doesn't seem to age very well. Although the voice is still compelling and overall I like it.

Arrival

ABBA

1/5

Tried but failed to like it.

The Visitors

ABBA

1/5

Possible to really like Abba...no

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

After Harvest, this was next. Roll another...

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Holds better than I expected.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

5/5

Rather far from Beatle's music. Still strong first solo effort.

Rage Against The Machine

1/5

Doesn’t do much for me.

Rocks

Aerosmith

1/5

If we have to listen to Aerosmith, this is probably their best. Which is not very good...

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Hit and miss as are most NY LPs. This one os more hit than miss.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

Innovative at the time, but doesn't hold up too well.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

5/5

The Kinks, way under appreciated. ONe of their best.

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

4/5

New to me and seems to be heavily influenced by 80s synth-pop. Yet it feels a bit over-produced. Still likeable.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

So original! David Bowie was one of a kind and was one of the innovators for theatrics in rock. A++++

One World

John Martyn

3/5

Hadn't heard this one. Interesting, but the singing style... Not to big a fan of that.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Very nice blues. Not the best quality recording, but it is easy and fun.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Despite what some naysayers may write, Good stuff. Some fine song writing and production here.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

5/5

One of my all time favorites. Eno has few, if any rivals for inventive music. And this, his first solo 'rock' album is a winner.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

1/5

More than one prison live album is one too many. Not a fan.

Kenya

Machito

3/5

Good, if a bit dated.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Sort of good blues.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

One of Elvis's best. Never understood the cover art. But he sounds good here.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Fever Ray

3/5

Interesting music. Would listen to this again but wouldn't have picked this for 1001.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

1/5

Might have got into it, but the singer's voice is annoying after two songs.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

5/5

Outstanding LP.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

1/5

Too much style, too little substance

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Exceptional, moody, and unique.

I See A Darkness

Bonnie "Prince" Billy

3/5

Aja

Steely Dan

5/5

Steely Dan at their best.

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Tried many times but can't just into this band. They seem to have been influenced by Bowie when it comes to vocal style. They just don't seem to pull it off well.

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

2/5

Probably could have died before listening to this. But didn’t so…

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Pretty good.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

Glad I listened to this one. But, rather dated.

Django Django

4/5

Hard to pin down their influences. A mixed bag that mostly works and makes for an interesting listen.

Trio

Dolly Parton

1/5

These woman are very talented. Unfortunate that they only sing country music...

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

2/5

Seems like a niche that didn’t need filling. But it was popular in its day.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Mixed with some filler, but then again what opera isn't. Talented group and this is one of their best.

Odelay

Beck

4/5

Listened to this before and found it really entertaining. Seems to have aged well.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Better than I remembered. 80s darlings. This was probably the height of their success fueled by MTV.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

1/5

Probably should somehow, but just can't...

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

3/5

A weird mix. Like Sinatra mostly from listening to my father's records. This experiment sort of works. But Frank was probably a real jerk.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

If I had a list then, This would be on it.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Great song writing, and sound from the era.

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

1/5

Really surprised to find this pop up. Seems like a mistake. This can't be included when so many other, better options are out there.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

2/5

Can't hear much here to like. Too long and not a great live recording. Probably sound good if you where there and loaded.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Wasn’t really a fan. However this is first time hearing Vol. 4 and it is a strong rock LP.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

1/5

more annoying than entertaining.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

A great voice with impeccable timing. Sad songs with cool if dated arrangements. Probably not his best. But still interesting and entertaining.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

1/5

Just not working for me

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

Good album, but Dylan is an acquired taste.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

As a Dad without a Yacht, I still like this enough to listen every once in a while.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

4/5

Likable and unique on this list.

Metallica

1/5

A fellow student in college love this bad. She put up posters around her studio desk. Could never understand their appeal at the time. But, I did learn to appreciate their role in heave metal. Still can't stand their songs...

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

Listenable and enjoyable.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

5/5

Outstanding Album. One of his best.
