All-timer of a record 🖤

Tori gonna Amos

Girls and Boys 4evaaaa

(not sure what it says about me but) feels like Christmas

I love buildings and food!!!!

respect the vibes but this ain’t for me

THE JUNGLE LINE >>>>>>>>>>

shame there are no half stars but it is what it is

only love for my komputer guys

Friendsgiving vibes 🙏

no, it’s all true

sounds like every band from the ‘90s in one

thought I’d like it more :/ but respect

genuinely dont understand why this is on the list

nostalgia bomb

kinda fun

ughhhh Bonoooooo

like yeah, that song’s good

the first track gives me motion sickness, and the rest is low-key forgettable :(

Alanis walked so Avril could run

The Hissing of Summer Lawns Part 2, but luckily I still vibe with this

hell yeah Tom Sawyer but the rest is whatever

I guess I’m still American because I adored this

this album is such an important time capsule, goddamn 🙏

a perfect 2013 album

damn, this guy’s sad fr

one of the best to ever do it

hey, I’m one of those!!!

This is a grower, but once you get it, you get it. I’m obsessed with this now.

Banger after banger. A vibe when you’re in the mood for AC/DC, which is almost never—but not never!

I’ll always love Sultans of Swing but the rest of the album is pretty forgettable

v forgettable (and at 2+ hours, that’s probably not a good sign)

it’s a no from me, dawg

Queen Lauren

I’m not a jazz girl but this was pretty nice

Insane I’d never heard of this. Absolutely classic Bowie with a mature edge.

decent vibes, I’d listen to this again

Nothing but respect for George Michael

I honestly expected The Who’s debut to go way harder. Huge letdown.

THEY’RE JUST SPIEEESSSSS

Slick album. Minus a star for Thom Yorke.

I’d give this a zero if I could.

boo2

sounds just as good today as it did in 2001 🖤

fuck the police fr

not my cup of tea but I lowkey vibed with this

I thought I would hate this but you know what? Hell yeah, Funkadelic.

Johnny Cash does covers. I mean, he does them well, but still.. it’s all just.. covers?

this album takes a little bit of something from everyone who was around on the ‘80s—Clash, Cure, Erasure, you name it—and somehow manages to makes it sound so generic, it hurts

So very very very British 🫡

I miss music like this.. So contagious ✨

I felt like I was listening to the same bland REM song for over an hour

trains mentioned 🚂🚂🚂

I haven’t seen the movie but this album is super fun

I actually like this record but I’m not sure what it’s doing on this list. That being said, Minnesoter is such a good track.

I vibe with this - political, energetic, unique.

So talented and gone too soon 💔

German Edith Piaf from the ‘80s

This was my first ambient album and I will never not love it.

Obsessed with this. The vibes are so dark and luxurious. A perfect album.

I fear I love REM.

Hell yeah, these guys really love walkable cities.

Incredibly emotive and energetic. And their debut! Goddamn, Karen O, no one does it like you.

I need half stars for this.. it’s not a 3, not yet a 4.. I get it, but I fear this isn’t my stuff. Cohen’s voice is doing most of the heavy lifting, and the album peaks with the first song.. Respect but not for me.

I think I’m a post-punk girlie. Proto Parquet Courts. Just so fun.

Honestly surprised to find this here but it deserves to be. Absolutely one of my faves. 4.5 if I could.

Heinz Baked Beans haunts me.

A lad insane indeed

Christmas vibes. Not for me.

It gets points for having a cherub smoking cigs on the cover, but it’s still Van Halen.

I think the movie absolutely ruined Queen for me..

This fucken slaps

This is so ‘90s [derogatory]

This is an album I should loooooove but I kinda only really like. Kurt Vile’s legacy continues via dreamy Springsteen Americana—it sounds pretty, tho. Honestly a 3.5 but it’s definitely not a 3, so 4 it is..

I have no idea why but I absolutely love this

I wanted to love this but it’s kinda same-y and slow throughout.

Bowie’s in space!!!!!!!!!!

If you have to sit through a Lynyrd Skynyrd album, this is it. I’d rather give this a 3 but this is their DEBUT ALBUM. America used to be a country 🫡

“White Reggae” is right.. yikes.. Message in a Bottle still slaps, but the rest is whatever (and I love Sting).

Seems it’s incomplete on Spotify so I can’t say for sure but this is super anthemic in a way that makes it hard to listen to, say, commuting. Maggot Brain is superior. (Also two Funkadelic albums on this list???)

A Beach Boys album that starts by telling you, “Don’t go near the water.” We love a self-aware shift.

Absolute bangers, no skips

The chokehold the melodica had on early 2000s Brit bands

Maybe if I’m at the after after afters at noon the next day and want to have a chill comedown..

NORTH AMERICAN SCUM

This album is supposedly a tight 37 minutes but it felt endless. Every song after the intro sounds identical. This is supposed to be one of the best 1001 albums? I’m so upset one spot was wasted on this monotonous honky-tonk crooning.

I gotta hand it to him—cars ARE cars.

I love REM, I really do, but what the hell is this doing on this list?

A seminal work 🫡

Perfection, etc.

Titular song slap

I don’t want to be dramatic but this album fundamentally altered my DNA.

Vapid, pretentious, contrived, and absolutely not worthy of being in the top 1000 albums.

You know what? This is kinda nice. Not great, not bad. Feels like optimism.

I totally vibe with the message here, and Steve seems like a good guy, but I am wondering if that’s really enough to put this album on this list.

This is probably a great album.

It’s 15 minutes long and some of the lyrics are incredible. I wanted to skip it as soon as the first song started but I’m glad I gave this a listen. Punk’s fun.

This is an insanely horny album. Better than I expected.

This is quite a beautiful album. Who would have thought I’d like music from a Beatle?

I’m sorry but what the actual hell is this

Hell yeah, man

I like Doves but this album feels so mediocre (even for 2002). A few—maybe two—bangers, but a place on this list is not justified.

STUNNED this is on the list but it’s an absolute killer. Takes me back to driving home from college in late June, windows down, lit cigarette in hand, this album blasting.. Vibes.

Morrissey doesn’t have any friends and he’s making it everyone else’s problem

California Dreamin’ is the only remarkable thing about this album. Three stars for that song and that song only.

Metallica from Wish
