1001 Albums Summary

An uneven, mostly interesting effort.

Wow, heard of Curtis Mayfield but had no idea what he was about until listening to this album.

Surprisingly diverse with obviously skilled musicians and strong production. Definitely heavy metal.

If an album could be described as delicious, this would be it

A beautiful tool for the musical toolbox. Creative, calming.

I knew Ice T was a rapper in his previous life. I've enjoyed him as a character on Law & Order. I'm not a big rap fan, but this album was at least interesting.

Great 90s rock

Uneven and hard to listen to.

Very lovely album by a musical icon.

Delightful world, music, well crafted, and produced

Delightful classic beach boy esque 60s music

This album has been well known to me for over 40 years. It is a brilliant piece of punk pop the likes of which we will never see again.

I have known of this album for decades buy haven't sat and listened to it in its entirety. I true legendary masterpiece of classic rock.

Production value is high on this record. Personal interest in this kind of rap, low.

I have known of Herbie Hancock for many years, but never really sat down and listened to his music. This album is brilliant.

Stripped down and sharp.

Gorgeous and well produced.

Leonard Cohen has achieved legendary status in the realm of folk music. This album is an excellent example of 1960s folk music.

Well, I'd have to say that this kind of music isn't exactly my bag. I did listen throughout and for what it is, it is well produced and aside from most of the lyrics it is clever and thoughtful.

Yawn

Very uneven 80s technosynthpop

An amazing collection of standards from a true giant.

Not sure how this album got passed over when it released, maybe they were a little past their niche time which probably would’ve fit in better in the late 70s, but for what it is, it’s an interesting mix of power punk that’s worth listening to

Start to finish a interesting collection of 80s alternative new wave music

If you think you might like iron maiden, you will like this. It is surprisingly well produced, and the musicians clearly have talent.

Some of the albums in this collection of 1001 must listen are a little iffy, this one is not.

k.d. Lang can sing! Great vampy blues country mashup.

The musical brilliance of humanity on full display here.

There’s a reason the Rolling Stones are popular this is a brilliant album

Some really solid old motown but a bit uneven.

I guess there is a reason I've never heard of these guys before. Very hard to listen to.

Some Springsteen you rock out to, swing and dance too, sing to. Nebraska you need to LISTEN to.

Brilliant and wide ranging blues. The blues has a baby and named it rock & roll!

Clunker

Mostly disorganized chaotic and very hard to listen to.

Sonic delight

Nice

not a big fan of violent afro rap

noise

very warm and lovely, a nice album to sit and listen to

Mmmm, classic soul and blues.

Hi level dance music from the eighties and nineties. One can also just sit and listen.

Brilliant.

Interesting that I never was a big fan of Bob Dylan, until I sat down and listened to an album througout and now I think I get it

How the hell did this not blow up in the states?

Definitely a specific mood album, but delightful and brilliantly crafted.

Well produced and easy to listen to.

Well produced and easy to listen to.

Well produced and easy to listen to.

Could easily be a contemporary rock band. Really holds up well.

Love these old bluesy Stones albums

Gave me a headache

Eh

Brilliant

Wow, never listened start to finish. Brilliant

Many of my reviews cite an albums usefulness in the "toolbox" of music. This is a great album, if I needed something really rockin to get through a long stretch of road late at night, this is it!

yawn

Great album.

I had no idea, they should have sent a poet

Well, it's good at angry gangster rap and hip hop.

Dazzling compositional creativity and breathtaking musicianship. Wow

Listened again. Was like going back in time and finding a long lost friend.

Whoa, now I get it.

Iconic music and legendary musicians, what do you expect

Play this loud and your wife might kill/leave you. This is musical syrup of ipecac.

Pretty good

Mmmm. Gooood.

Killer, wow, really unique.

The vocalist always kind of rubbed me the wrong way but listening through this album he kind of grew on me.

This album really surprised me. I had zero idea what to expect. Very listen-to-able. Hi end production. Great musicianship and very creative.

Wow, never even considered Thin Lizzy as a live band. They are smokin!

Well, it’s really good at what it does but it’s not anything that I find is variable or listen to able

Hayes is smooth but not my bag

Go to for Saturday morning.

timeless sounds, brilliant production

Brilliant.

Well that was interesting and unexpected.

Beautiful, well crafted. Stirring to the soul.
