1001 Albums Summary

Not my style. It became extremely repetitive and no one song really stood out to me.

Honestly enjoyed it more than I thought that I would. Some pretty symphonic melodies. Not sure if it could become a go to band but I was pleasantly surprised.

Amazing! I've been listening to this album for 20+ years and it never gets old. Thom Yorke's voice is incredible and the band is so in tune with each other. Truly a classic album.

This was great! I've definitely listened to Steely Dan before but I don't think I've ever sat down and listened to the whole album. Lovely way to start my morning.

BORING! I was so excited when I saw it was a Fleetwood Mac album but I couldn't even finish it. 20 songs with no flow or structure. This album felt like a cocaine fever dream. Would not give it another listen. Very disappointed.

Incredible! This music brings me so much joy. Perfect for listening, reading, cooking. This is a classic album that will stay in my rotation forever. Wonderful!

I had never heard of this band/album before so therefore had no idea what to expect... I enjoyed it. A strange, eclectic fusion of reggae, indie, grunge, experimental, rock. I could definitely feel the African influences coming through. I would listen to this again. Very interesting.

So far a little heavier than I prefer these days. Not my style.

First impressions: Higher pitched male lead voice leaning heavily onto the 80's soft pop/rock with experimental "electronic" components. After finishing the album I think it is just-- meh. Not terrible per say but not one particular song stood out to me. Felt like background music.

Fun! Listened on Halloween as well so that was cool. Not my favorite but I can appreciate for what it is. Classic.

Great album. One of Scott's very favorites. It feels a little long winded but otherwise is lovely.

Ehhhhh..... Yea..... Not for me.

It was okay. Expecting a little more. Nothing felt particularly memorable. Would not listen to again.

Mixed review. Some songs were fun. First half of the album was pretty decent. Then it started to meander and was too long. Sort of lost its train.

Nostalgic and fun. Probably wouldn't listen to the album all the way through on the regular but it was a fun throw back.

Love Pink Floyd. Do not love this album.

I enjoyed! Would listen to his other albums and more Smiths.

Great!! Always love some Neil Young! Great album, will need to add it to the rotation.

Sooooooo slooooooooooow. There is potential there but its so slow that I'm struggling to actively listen.

Wanted to love it but just couldn't get into the talky type singing. She does have a beautiful, powerful voice but I didn't like this style.

Just okay. Pretty boring and unmemorable. How do some of these albums make the cut?!

Fine. It was fine.

Pretty fun! Recognized the second song on this album.

Lovely! Classic. A wonderful album. Would be great for cooking to or a dinner party.

Honestly liked it better than I thought I would. Edgier than some of their later stuff. A bit all over the place.

Fun enough. Not my style.

Sloooooooow.

I think I've learned that John Coltrane is not my favorite jazz artist.

I know people love Kendrick Lamar and there were some songs on here that I did like but I don't think this one is for me.

Gah-- I'm just not hip enough anymore. I didn't find much enjoyment from this album except that it was "fun". Ehhhhhhh......

Awesome! Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did! Reminds me of a little grungier Neutral Milk Hotel. Will definitely check out more from them!

Liked! First half was a little slow but the second half was very nice!

Did not finish. Aimee obviously has a nice voice and the album is fiiiiiiiine... but not for me. I was about 5 songs in and I realized nothing had stuck out to me at all. Sometimes you just have to give a skip.

Iconic! This album is always a winner. One of those super special musical moments captured for us to enjoy.

Was good for about an hour. Could do without the commentary between songs though I'm sure some love that. At times it was a little screachy. Ehhh.

I'm too much of a millennial to truly appreciate this album. Haha! My favorite song had Andre 3000 on it so I know that it's true. I can appreciate it for what it is but leans a little heavy on the Gen Z for me.

Enjoyed! Not exactly the most memorable album that I've ever listened to but I found it enjoyable. Would give it another listen for sure.

DNF. After about the 50th time I heard the n-word in two songs I knew I was done.

Amazing! Hasn’t ever been my favorite Radiohead album but still musical genius.

Good background music! I would have a hard time sitting down to actively listen to this album but it was nice in the background.

Intense! I appreciate it for the power and energy they bring to this album but at this stage in my life I don't feel like this music suits me.

Nope.

Wonderful! Was exactly the album I needed after being up with a sick kid all night. Love ya, Stevie!

Norah has such a lovely voice. While some of the album ran into each other I still found it pleasant. I had never heard track 9: I've got to see you again and I really loved it. I probably wouldn't put this in my regular rotation but I appreciate it.

Exceptional! Love this super group. They really bring out something so special musically in this album. This one stays in rotation.

Great!

Love a bunch of these songs but some are a bit repetitive.

Christmas, Christmas!

Great!

Fine.

Good, not great. I really like QotSA but this album was pretty repetitive. There were some good ones but overall it all blended into each other. I think that they just didn't quite have their groove going yet.

DNF. I can't handle this overly produced pop music on a first day back of work after the holidays. Felt so out of place and out of touch.

Wanted to love this album because I like The Beta Band but it was wayyyyyy too mellow for me.

Awesome! Loved it all!

Fine. Dylan gets so repetitive. At least his voice wasn't destroyed by cigs at this point.

Good. Only one song really stood out to me. Classic Rolling Stones early stuff. I like it better than their later albums because it holds true to their blues-rock background.

I've never been a huge Aerosmith fan but I will say for this being only 35 minutes it was pretty decent! Still not my style but I wouldn't be mad to hear it again. Steven Tyler's vocals do rock.

Decent enough background music. Gave me The Doors vibes at times. Wasn't bad but certainly wasn't memorable.

Honestly enjoyed more than I thought. My Dad loved the Eagles and classic rock in general and I was constantly quizzed on it as a kid, hah! Since then I've always sort of avoided the Eagles but I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Will I add it to my regular listening rotation? No. Do I appreciate it a bit more now? Yes.

Just can't handle 80's metal these days. I appreciate that it was ground breaking for it's time but it does not serve me at all.

Her voice is beautiful however every song sounds basically the same. Booooooooooring.

Pretty good. Not as polished as I would like coming from Blur but it was pretty good.

Excellent! I don't love all Bob Dylan but this is classic. Track 3, Masters of War feels all too relevant in 2026.

Dullllllllllllllll. While he may be an amazing song writer he is not an amazing singer. He managed the exact same tone for each song, impressive honestly.

So fun! Loved it. Very quintessential Americana.

Decent enough background music while working. A little too sloppy and "artistic" for my taste to listen to in regular rotation. As so many of these albums they tend to all sound the same after awhile. Ehhh.

Fun! Reminded me of some late 60's Beatles.

So good! How have I never heard this album? I was really impressed and will be adding this to my rotation.

I normally love some Stevie but this was too "soft" for me. They all pretty much sounded alike. Not for me.

Loved it! Nice Clapton. Very fun.

Just don't like punk anymore. My 30's killed any punk I might have liked at some point which was never a lot. Ha! Love the album cover though.

They wanted to be AC/DC and somehow were worse. Boo.

Classic. Not my style anymore but it is a classic.

I love the White Stripes but this album did not do it for me.

Some vintage chill music! I really like Nick Drake. Some of it is a bit monotonous but I really like his vibe. Shame he passed on so soon, would have liked to see how he evolved.

Boo.

Decent background music. I appreciate his style but I was left wanting with this album.

Liked!! Super chill and very interesting. I'll be checking out more Massive Attack.

Incredible as always! This album is a gem.

Awesome! Sometimes Beck strikes me as pretentious which turns me off listening to his music. This album is gold though.

Interesting! I enjoyed this. It was great background music for work and I feel like it would be great for a cocktail party. Very fun.

I just cannot get into live albums. I would always rather listen to the studio version unless I get to be in the live audience.

Lovely voice. Terribly boring album. Shadowlands was better in my opinion.

Classic. Incredible album. So relevant in today's wild times.

Very fun! It was a good way to start a not so great Monday.

She sounds like she wants to be Carol King but is so off key it's painful. I found this to be an unpleasant listen.

Pretty decent. A bit unmemorable.

Better than I expected.

Classic.

Loved the bangers but forgot how heavy this album is. Still great but maybe too heavy for everyday listening for me.

Honestly unmemorable. I didn't write notes yesterday about this album and now nothing sticks out. Not a great sign but also not so terrible that I remember that either. Meh.

Excellent. A gem of an album.

So groovy. So chill. Santana rocks.

Very fun, very 90s.

So good! Granted that this isn't my true music style but this is album is so nostalgic of my childhood and of my classic rock loving Father. Very fun.

Weird. Odd. Kind of okay for the first couple songs then complete chaotic noise.

Lovely, easy listening. Astrud has a great voice. This album is mellow and would be great for hanging outside or for cooking dinner.

Loved it! Understated grungey vibes in the best way possible.

BORING.

Fine.

Would be fun in the right environment, sitting at work was not that place.

Supa Dupa Chill! I enjoyed this a lot.

Very interesting! I wasn't sure what I was going to think about this one but it exceeded expectations.

Good! I really enjoyed this one.

Great!

Interesting. Hip. Got a bit repetitive but overall I thought it was a fun listen in the background while I worked.

Honestly really enjoyed this. Sleeper surprise.

Boring.

Loved it! Really fun and interesting to listen to.

Good album but got a bit repetitive over time. Still classic 2000's indie rock.

Awful!

Better than expected. I liked the Aladdin song.

It was fine but super repetitive and I was never drawn into the album.

Silly. Snoop is fun. This was fine.

One of my all times faves. Top 20 for sure.

I really like some of the songs, some of them just get repetitive. I like Elvis Costello but I don't love Elvis Costello.

Boo. DNF.

So good! Very chill.

Classic Dylan.

What in the heck did I just listen to? Looking at the album cover I immediately deduced avante garde but holy moly. Parts of it were.... interesting... but overall just didn't hit it for me.

Meh.

Amazing! Lovelovelove NIN.

Boo. This kind of crap music is the worst. 2 thumbs down. Would give zero stars if I could.

Love the 80s vibe.

Gross. Gratuitous use of the N word is just not my thing.

Good but not ultra memorable. Gave me the Cure vibes meets Depeche Mode but darker. Would potentially give it another listen.

Great! I really loved the long, extended funky Papa Was a Rolling Stone. Gold!

Awesome! Long but great. Realized I like The Love Below better than Speakerboxxx but the whole thing is great. Andre really is a musical genius!

Really fun! Brings back memories of a summer spent bartending in Yellowstone National Park. I always wonder why I don't put this in a more regular part of my rotation, maybe I finally will.

Hair metal may be for some but not for me.

Hmmm, Brit rap/hip hop just ain't for me.

I recognized more songs than I thought and some of it was lovely but almost 3 hours?!?! Way too much.

I respect that people like this but I don't.

Pretty good. A little generic for my taste but I still enjoyed.

Boring. That album cover though... ooooh la la. Ha!

Wasn't the bangers I was hoping for.

Lovely!

I somehow had never heard of Joan Armatrading before but I really enjoyed this album. She has an incredible voice and the beats were funky. Sleeper for the win!

It's fine. It's a me problem, not a Blondie problem. Not my style.

Turned it off at Disco II Disco. I thought my overstimulated brain would explode.

Sleeper for the win! Despite loving 90s grunge I had never heard of this band or album before. While it was a -bit- generic I still overall enjoyed it!

1st song was terrible! It got better after that.

Fun! Great music to work to.

I enjoyed this very much. I was familiar with a few songs but overall this was lovely.

Incredible. One of my favorite Beatles albums. In My Life is pure art. I listen to this album nearly monthly.

Not too shabby. Very 90s, which I love. Sometimes I got Pearl Jam vibes, other times Alice in Chains. While I liked it and certain songs I feel like they struggled to find exactly their sound.

Fun orchestral rock. Not my favorite but was still a good listen in the background while I worked.

Legendary album. A classic for a reason.

This album is great! My husband told me this was released after her death. What a sad waste of a life and an incredible talent.

Honestly enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would.

Good background music. Not my favorite Gaye album.

I honestly enjoyed this more than I thought that I would. I knew it would be nostalgic because my late, beloved Dad was a huge fan of Dad/Classic rock including the Eagles. I had never heard the song, Train Leaves Here This Morning, and I thought it was really sweet. I'm under no illusion that the Eagles are some amazingly complex musicians but this album is better than a lot of the absolute trash that made it onto this list, haha! PS- everyone already made The Big Lebowski quote joke, try harder.

Boooo. I know some people love Linkin Park. That person is not me.

I really enjoy Nick Drake. So tragic to have lost this great talent so soon.

I tried, I really tried. Her voice sounds exactly the same in every song. Couldn't get into it.

It was good. Nothing ultra memorable but I liked it.

The fact that I can barely remember anything of this album the day after doesn't bode well.

Funky and fun!

Really, really enjoyed this one!

I really like this one! Super bluesy and soulful. Great way to start my work day.

Holy Heck! How have I never heard of The Zutons? I sincerely enjoyed this fun album! I love Indie from the 2000's and this just hit in all the right ways but was new for me. Great great great! Entering into rotation for sure.

Blah. Dude looks like he is from American Pyscho.

I've come to learn something about myself and that is that I do not enjoy Prince. I appreciate and respect Prince, I can see why people love him. I just don't love the style.

Honestly lovely.

Separating the art from the artist this album is obviously gold. As for MJ himself.... ick.

Booooooring

It's not as dynamic as Back to Black but still excellent. RIP Amy.

Excellent!

I know people love Wu-Tang. I do not.

I could not get into the guys voice.

Classic Dolly.

Somehow The Vines have slipped through my listening adventures over the years but I truly enjoyed this listen! I won't say my mind was blown but it was solid!

Always a classic.

Honestly this was exactly what I need to start Monday off. Some catchy songs I knew, some inoffensive background for the songs I didn't know. It doesn't blow my mind but its still better than so many albums on here.

Disappointed that I found this one boring. The last Sly & The Family Stone I had was great but this one just faded into the background.

Blah- not my thing. Christina can belt it out certainly, but not in a way that I enjoy.

This would have been a better listen if I was at a party instead of answering emails at 9 am 🤣

Good background music.

So much fun! Honestly a great way to start a Monday after a long weekend.

Pretty fun! Would give it another listen!

Classic. Really enjoyed.

Decent background music at work. Would be fun at a party. Would not add it to my regular rotation.

Pretty good! I actually knew one of the songs. Nice little grungy album.

It was decent but sounded so much like the band before that I had trouble differentiating.

Ehhhhhh

Great! Love Steely Dan. I get that some people think it's "boring" but I disagree. I think it's lovely.

The 20 something year old version of me would be sad that I just don't enjoy listening to the Beastie Boys anymore. Alas, what can you do? I respect their work but I don't want to listen to it.

Liked! Super chillin and great vibes.

Excellent. Classic Bowie.

Bleh. Maybe if I'd seen Shaft before I would care more but I haven't so I didn't. Soundtrack without context is not my cup of tea.

A little boring with the covers but still enjoyable.

Wow. Just wow. Didn't realize I could hate an album so much. Wish I could give 0 stars. I'm not even a singer and I'm pretty sure I could make my voice sound better than this. Also found out she is a far right racist. Double no.

Honestly enjoyed a lot more than I thought that I would.

Very good. Interesting to hear crowd reaction when the crowd is prisoners. Cash is great.

Great!! It always makes me chuckle that for brothers who make such amazing music together they really can't stand each other. Such a great album though.

Yes, I know Honky Tonk is in the name of the album but hot damn! That is a lot of Honky Tonk.

Excellent classic album. Their voices harmonize so nicely together. A real treat to listen to.

Great! Also very good Friday Hype Music for work.

I was fearful when I saw the 2 hour run time. Still too long for the average listen but I will say I did enjoy what I heard.

Good! Still pretty early on in the Beatles timeline but still decent. Was surprised by the number of covers. Still an enjoyable listen.

Enjoyed it.

It was... okay. Parts of it I liked and some of it seemed like it was a caricature of the genre.

Really great.

He is very talented. I enjoyed it more when I was in my late teens/early 20s but I still respect it.

Who wants a 2 hour club music album?! Not this person.

Pretty fun.

BORING. Every song sounded basically the same. She obviously has a great voice but needs a better song writer.

Good!

Lovely. Get's a bit repetitive towards the end but overall just solid nostalgic music.

Fun but got a bit boring towards the end. Still very enjoyable.

Fan-fucking-tastic! I discovered Portishead in highschool and now in my late 30s it is still in my regular rotation.

Gold. Pure gold.
