1001 Albums Summary

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill

Debut album from them and it sucks nuts.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Stir it up….and nothing else

25 by Adele

It’s just boring to me. It’s a deeper Mariah Carey, but without the fun.

Melodrama by Lorde

Not horrible, but not outstanding against others.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg

CLASSIC. Grew up with it, and as horribly sexist and violent as it is…its lexicon.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement

Yeah…..just no. I don’t see how this is a greatest album on any list. It’s just noise

Parallel Lines by Blondie

The Cars by The Cars

There’s only 1 good tune. They may be iconic - but it’s not from this.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

This is extremely overrated. Just like The Beatles themselves.

Diamond Life by Sade

I’ll say it - never liked her voice.

Django Django by Django Django

LP1 by FKA twigs

Holy shit this is terrible!

Atomizer by Big Black

No thanks

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

Epic. Soundtrack of the 90’s starts with this. Sadly, the b-sides are just as good, if not better, than what is on the actual record.

90 by 808 State

Ten by Pearl Jam

Outside of Even Flow and Jeremy….this album is overrated.

Moondance by Van Morrison

Honestly…..David Gray’s cover versions are better than these originals.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen

Scum by Napalm Death

No. Just fucking no.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

Another overrated album.

Street Signs by Ozomatli

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon

1984 by Van Halen

Jump, Panama, Hot For Teacher…all massive hits growing up. The rest of the album sucks.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi

Legendary growing up, it was everywhere. Through the years it has grown tired to me, formulaic and a product of the 80s. Plus, I can’t stand JBJ’s voice.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

The fuck is this shit?

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

More noise pretending to be deep and meaningful

Be by Common

Suede by Suede

Why is this even on the list?

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine by Cee Lo Green

This ain’t it.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

I don’t understand the fascination with this band either. Cool name, odd artwork, shit music.

Violator by Depeche Mode

The Dreaming by Kate Bush

No. I’d rather rub one out with sandpaper than hear her voice.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

BRILLIANT! A masterpiece & classic.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin

One of the most overrated bands in the world. All I hear is noise when listening to them.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE

Nope.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Bad Company by Bad Company

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Nope.

Synchronicity by The Police

Tough one. The first half is just boring, but there are three giant, career defining cuts in a row after that. Trademark for the era. Giving it high marks for those alone. The remaining filler can be easily skipped.

Reign In Blood by Slayer

Fuck off with this shit.
