1001 Albums Summary

Danny Music! Great early example of where techno is gonna go. Really cool soundscapes come and go. I'm probably not gonna have it on at a party. Glad I've listened to it. Stars reflect 'I wanna listen to this again and go deep on it' Stars do not reflect 'this has artistic value' Because this has a ton of artistic value. And the kick drums sound dope.

Amazing record -- great performances throughout. great listening too. would love to spend more time with it and have it around. From a really cool era of jazz as well. The piano sections of the final track are especially noteworthy.

Great. Classic! Have it -- love it. Such a great 70s era singer songwriter album. Great listen throughout.

Love Radiohead. Not my favorite of theirs for a listen, but love this era for sure.

Same as the Smiths -- cool sounding well executed work that's obviously been transformative for rock and pop, but doesn't really land for me.

Awesome record, need to spend more time with it. stunning guitar playing as always, the songs themselves didn't grab me at any point on first listen, but it was awesome to have on.

Great 90s vibes, was a hit with Megan.

Classic, but one I've struggled to find a way into. Just doesn't land an emotional punch for me.

Great late 60s sounds -- I knew Cocker's cover of 'Feelin Alright?' fun to hear the original here. Glad to give this a focused listen

Cool Record! My first listen though. Writing and vocals give me almost a Bowie-ish vibe. Feels ahead of its time for '93. Not surprised it's on the list.

really cool proto punk rock! Love the organs

Absolute Classic for a reason. great listen

Powerful -- Great listen -- Worth a trip through the whole album. Amazing

Solid listen. In the vein of massive attack and other 90s low-key dance pop

Definitely prefer this to London calling

Super cool drum and bass takes -- awesome to have on in the room. Fun listen

Enjoyed this way more than I expected. Felt introspective. Great listen

Not my favorite Steely Dan record, but there's a reason we played half of it in Bad Business. Great listen.

Love the mix of 80s classics and a vocal standard style. Glad to get more time with this record

Absolute Classic. Bowie was formative for me and this is one of the albums that did it. Love how weird it gets towards the end, but the the first half is the winner for me.

Undeniable. Great listen. Leaves me in awe.

A favorite of mine. Sounds both incredibly classic but also all on its own somehow. Reminds me of everything, but still has so much its own sound. Love it.

Always makes me think of the matrix era. Hack the planet! That kind of thing

Great exemplar of the timelessness of old songs. Beautifully recorded too. These folks have been at the edge of my awareness for a while so grateful for a focused listen

Super fun mix of lat 70s metal and early punk. Dig this record

Who is it was the standout for me. Beautifully recorded and such awesome, decisive music, even if it’s not an easy background listen.

Amazing. Super cool live recording and a real treat to have on.

I listened to the Bowie mix. Cool proto-punk. I like the songs fine. Feels enough like having an early Bowie record on, and i'd rather have an early Bowie record on.

Defined a sound. Amazing

Punk! Rockabilly! 1980!

Good old rock and roll

Tell me you’re sad the Beatles broke up without telling me you’re sad the Beatles broke up

Earlier than I thought. Doubtless influential. Dig some of what they inspired for sure.

Punk rock! Transgressive!

Sounds like California

Hear echoes of this sound all over. Incredible vocals and great listen

An excellent book of songs

Feels like I grew up with this record. Real nice to revisit.

Cool Passion Pit / Phoenix Vibes. Loved the polyrhythms and some of the writing reminded me of Elbow.

Haven’t spent enough time with this era of JM. Giving queen vibes

This album can feel like a national park in the geography of music

Great 80s sounds. Some of the songs are a bit…

Dig the polyrhythm, and I better understand the band now for sure. Have never loved the overall vibe.

The hits here are undeniable

More of a blues record than I remembered. Nice to have on, I'm not in love though

Great songs, classic sound

Jus a blast

Remember it best in the Alfa’s CD player

This album still lives in St Andrew’s. Upstairs at the Whey Pat I think. Somewhere on that street. Coffee with Cat

Stockton CA 1994? Sounds like home

Love how this record sounds, and how experimental and wandering it felt, while staying rooted in 80s pop sound

Some great cuts. Excellent execution as always. Doesn't grab me

Really dig this. One of my favorite flavors of early 80s rock

One of my all times

Really fun christmas album with Spector's shadow hanging over it

Really dig it -- reminds me of my favorite era of the Stones

Cool record -- hadn't heard this side of the Byrds before

Love this. Boss is a favorite. super cool production and great verses throughout

I feel like I get it, but Slipknot always trailed system and rage for me. not my corner of this genre

Lots here beyond 'somebody to love'. Especially dig some of the guitar work

Masterful tone, and a couple of the songs at the front really grab me. Was a big influence on Harville

Like Spinal tap with a straight face (?)

Great 60s sounds. Weird and experimental but still folk. Not an everyday

you can hear how influential and powerful this band was. Not a go-to for me to have on though.

Metallica’s fandom makes much more sense to me now

90s rock canon. Great songs. Almost gets a 5 for 'Big Me'

absolute classic. just fun

i mean, this fucking guy

Neat! verses stand out the most. sounds like an inspiration for Scroobius Pip.

This album is magical.

Beautiful tone, and songwriting that grabs me throughout. Especially Raised on Robbery & Free Man in Paris

Really dig it, lovely listen, some great funk sounds in here too. Would love to revisit

not sure what new I could say about this. Impeccably executed. Hotel California deserves both the celebration and derision it receives. I'm happy enough with the singles.

Don't normally queue up Miles looking for great guitar work. This has it in spades. Wonderful listen throughout

Dig it! fun listen Matrix vibes. Great to have on

Not my favorite Jackson, but so ahead of its time. Comparing 'girlfriend' to the original is a perfect example. The hits are undeniable

Massively cool. Need more time with it but yes

Sort of a modern indie rock fairport convention. Love the tone

An all-time great. Not my favorite record of his, but still undeniable.

Iconic. Complicated. Grateful for an excuse to spend the time to know his story better. Epic listen

Super fun listen -- glad I know about this now!

Interesting! Pleasant to have on -- not sure anything really grabbed me from it

Drake is finally resolved in my mind. This record feels like it exists out of time for me

Great sound, classic late 50s/early 60s songwriting. Some of it raises an eyebrow. No major stand-outs

Indie rock standard. Takes me back to camping summer of 2013 with Jess

Has a couple standouts. Dig Dead flowers and their country nods. I'm medium

Iconic

Good Lilith fair vibes. Might need another pass through. Feel like the words carry a lot of the significance and that's hard on a first listen

A masterpiece

This record feels baked into the sounds of rock and roll for the last 50 years. Canon.

dig the hits here (Truckin, Friend of the Devil, Ripple). The others I could take or leave

Absolutely love this one

Exactly the kind of record I was hoping to discover with this project

Has some great hits on it. Lovely record. If it were a double record with neon bible it’d be a 5. Standalone 3/4

Owes a heck of a lot to Hendrix. Didn't love the listen

Lovely listen. I don’t think I had connected all these songs to the same artist. Thanks Dusty

Feels like an archetype for harmony writing. Classic of the Furniss household

This was the era of Bowie that first got me hooked. Great listen

Double albums are just so much. almost put it down after the first half. glad I didn't, second half is my favorite. Solid 4 as a single album

Dig it, need a closer listen. Felt like The National was at least somewhat inspired by this.

Don’t love a double album but wow I love this one
