1001 Albums Summary

Didn’t realize I knew the title song- Brandi has performed it before

I didn't know any of the songs on this album

Lyrics of "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) remind me of Indigo Girls, "It's only life, after all"; Guitar is backbone of it all

Didn't know this was the person behind Pink Floyd

So much screaming!

I only knew one song (Where It's At) and I didn't even know that was a Beck song!

classic. thought the sound recording was bad, realized it was my bluetooth speaker after listening to the whole album.

I didn't realize the songs I knew were by Tom Petty

SO 80s

I had never heard of this band and I didn't realize they wrote "I Want You to Want Me". I didn't realize I also knew their song "Surrender".

I had not heard any of these songs...

All bangers! No skips.

I had never heard of John Martyn but I like him a lot! It's very 60s/70s singer-songwriter vibes.

I had never actually listened to Bjork before. Some of these songs were really beautiful instrumental tracks!

I'd never listened to a full Outkast album before; I just know a handful of their songs.

I love this album! It's on heavy rotation in our house.

I had never really listened to Black Sabbath before. It was less intense than I thought it would be.

Brandi did a cover of one of these songs at her last Campfire live stream!

Couldn't get through the first song...

knew more of these songs than I thought

Have heard of this band, but hadn't heard any of these songs before.

Wild Horses is SO good!

Green Light is such a good song!

Songs mostly sounded the same to me; too scream-y

expected it to be more metal than it was

I had no idea that the song I always thought was called "Teenage Wasteland" was called "Baba O'Riley"

Did not realize Blister in the Sun was a Violent Femmes song. Sounds more 90s than 80s.

I'd never heard any of these songs; I also didn't know what Leonard Cohen looked like...

all the songs sounded the same

love this! I had never actually listened to the full album before.

I knew a few of these songs from back in the day, but I'd never listened to this full album.

Very repetitive; lyrics from other songs but not exactly samples...

so electronic and buzzy sounding

Golden Years is one of my faves (because of A Knight's Tale) but I hadn't heard the others.

I've known "Do You Realize?" for years, and recently started hearing "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" on the radio, but I didn't know any of the other songs.

Sounds very ahead of its time-- more like 80s than late 70s.

Didn't realize all the songs I knew were from this album

Liked this much more than I thought I would based on the description. Very good vibey background music.

I didn't realize that Green Day was making music in the 90s!

Had definitely heard OF the Everly Brothers, but didn't recognize any songs.

Didn't realize I knew a couple of these songs!

very bluesy

I can see how they are the precursors to Nirvana, Sound Garden, etc.

so many memories of sleepovers on the trampoline with Pal!

Had never heard this (apparently original?) version of Atlantic City

Feels like these songs would be on the soundtrack for Charmed or Buffy... This kind of ambient music is my jam, it turns out.

some iconic songs on here. didn't realize I have this vinyl!

Have definitely heard Natural's Not In It, but had never heard this band name

I don't think I've ever heard this band, but their songs sound familiar. Just like the 90s.

I always thought Dire Straits was a country band for some reason...

By name I only recognized one song on this album, but as I listened I knew more than half of them.

Made it through about ten minutes but it was too fast and loud for me.

I knew so many of these songs although I didn't recognize the titles.

Funny that the title track is the last on the album and it's kinda weird!

Ended up listening to Stereolab in the background all day. Good work music.

Had never listened to Ice Cube before...

I loved this. Vibey 90s music, great for background work.

I had never heard any of these Bowie songs!

We have the Jazz Samba encore album, but I've never heard this one.

Knew so many of these songs, even if I didn't recognize the titles.

Liked this album much better than the first Everything but the Girl album I listened to.

Aqualung sounds kinda rock but the rest are pretty indi-folk sounding.

Was very into this! Super vibey and electronic, upbeat.

More musical than other punk-style records I've heard before.

Only one song available on Spotify. Meh.

I gave it about 2.5 songs, but it was too fast and loud. Made me anxious!

In Your Eyes is such a good song! Crazy how he sounds the same even 40 years later.

Couple of iconic The Police songs on here, mixed with some fairly weird ones.

I had only ever listened to "Can I Kick It?" before.

Takes me right back to living in San Antonio!

I had no idea The Beatles recorded a version of "Til There Was You"

I didn't realize I hadn't heard this one before, and we don't have it! It's definitely more traditional and upbeat than Kind of Blue

I didn't realize Eric Clapton was a member of Cream. I think I always get him and Phil Collins confused? When I think about Phil Collins and Genesis...

Generic 70s singer-songwriter vibes.
