1001 Albums Summary

Enjoyed it. First half better than the second half. One of their best albums

Interesting. Somewhat. Couple good songs, nothing I’d revisit. Maggot brain has some great guitar!

Pretty good pop-soul music. Good listen!

It’s Blitz,” the third studio release by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, stands out as a fantastic entry in the band’s discography. The album cover is striking and memorable, perfectly setting the tone for the music within. This record showcases a compelling blend of electronic and indie rock elements, resulting in a sound that feels both fresh and familiar. From start to finish, every song on the album stands out, making it a consistently engaging listen with no weak moments. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the band, “It’s Blitz” is sure to impress with its energetic style and creative production.

Awful, awful, awful. Didn't even make me jiggy.

Very strange band. They have a lot of albums and definitely a few show up on this awful list. And from what I have heard, this is the best one. And it’s not that good. Couple decent songs but…weird. Wowee Zowee, maybe Pavement liked them?

better then I thought to be honest. But not my cup of tea. Like her better as an actress.

Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life is an electrifying journey from start to finish, perfectly blending the raw energy of Stooges-era punk with infectious, Bowie-infused pop hooks. With David Bowie himself contributing keyboards and backing vocals throughout, the album pulses with a unique synergy—gritty yet undeniably fun. From the moment the title track kicks in, Lust for Life grabs your attention with its driving rhythms and rebellious spirit. The album doesn’t let up, serving up track after track of high-octane rock that’s both aggressive and melodic. While “The Passenger” stands out with its hypnotic groove and singalong chorus, every song here is a banger, showcasing Iggy’s charisma and Bowie’s pop sensibility. Whether you’re drawn to the punk edge or the catchy melodies, Lust for Life is a wild, enjoyable ride that never loses its momentum. It’s a must-listen for fans of both artists—and for anyone looking for an album that’s as fun as it is fierce.

Not for me. Found it boring.

One of the best Hip-Hop albums of all time. Own this on vinyl. So may awesome songs on this.

It was ok….nothing exciting. It didn’t hurt my ears.

Very boring classic rock.

Boring. Elevator music. Didn’t hate it. Would never play it.

Pretty good Classic Rock album

I mean, you can tell she is talented. She was 21 when she wrote this. But, not my thing. One or two … ok songs, but majority, boring.

I have listened to this a few times before. While not my favourite thing to listen to it’s not bad. A couple of tracks stand out somewhat and could make a 90s rock playlist. Not something I would revisit much though

Ummmmm. Nope

Enjoyable. Some good psychedelic. I also thought too much to drink (not dream!)

It’s classic punk rock. Some great songs (London Calling, Jimmy Jazz, Rude Can’t Fall, The Guns of Brixton, Wrong ‘em Boyo, Death or Glory, The Card Cheat). Not something I’d listen to often, but it ain’t bad. Pretty good album for the year in which I was born :)

Great album.

Amazing album. Not something I throw on a lot anymore but when it came out, this was insane. Very different than anything else at that time.

Wasn’t my thing. Wasn’t awful, but not sure why this is an album I had to listen to….

Nope!

First track was awesome. Not a huge Jazz fan but liked this. A mix of blues and Jazz. Prior to listening, I assumed this was going to be a reggae album.

Not my fav. Bowie album but pretty good.

Hard to stay awake to this while listening on my morning commute. Every song sounds the same (as Ben mentioned). Reminds me of the crappy music you hear on New Year’s Eve in time square. Didn’t like. zzzzzzz

A classic Hip-Hop album. I first got this back in 1993 while I was part of the BMG music club. I got this and a Conway Twitty album, picked completely random. Never got into the Twitty album but this one changed my view of Hip-Hop. So good.

2nd best Beck album. Love The Dust Brothers.

Not really a fan. Only song that stands out is that song that played over and over again on Stranger Things.

Not something I typically listen to. Not horrible. I’d probably give it a 2.5 stars.

Classic background music rock. Wouldn’t ever put this on myself but if it came on while listening to classic rock radio, I wouldn’t mind.

Great Indie Rock from the 90s. Fun album. Standout track is track 4: Alright.

Classic Christmas Musc

Enjoyed this. Definitely deserves to be on this list.

Never been a Prince fan. Listening to this (again) did not change this fact

Did not like this much at all. I don’t think I like a lot of 80s music.

Great album !

Not my fav Prodigy album (Experience is the best!!) but this one is good.

I think this is my favourite of her two albums (two? I think). Quite enjoyable. Not typically a genre I’d listen to.

Wasn’t overly familiar with this group. Besides Sultan. I liked it though. I have a feeling if I listened to it a lot it would grow on me quite a bit.

Love the album. Majority of the tracks are fantastic. Doesn’t get old!

So much classic roc this week. This is another pretty good album. A few songs are definitely in my 60’s / 70’s rock playlist.

Not something I’d listen to on a regular basis. I have listened to this many times in the past. Very influential and you can tell. Listen to Renegades of Funk by Rage if you haven’t heard that before.

It’s ok.

The singles are the stand outs. Maybe only because I have heard them 100 times. I find her a little cringy.

Probably my least favourite ATCQ album, but still very good.

Not a big fan. Sounds like noise. I know this was a Cobain fav…but I never really got this.

Pretty cheeeeezy.

It’s ok. Didn’t blow me away. Stand out tracks IMO are Sweetest Perfection, Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence.

Amazing album. Not my favourite LZ but I don’t think there is a bad one.

It’s ok…some decent tracks. Too long. Not nearly as good as their pre-pop phase.

Great album. Some fillers but for the most part very consistently good.

Amazing album start to finish.

2nd best Common album IMO. Very very good all the way though.

Pretty fun set of oldies!

Didn’t know the context til’ I read destroy-fun…. Which was after I listened to it. Would listen again with this in mind. I kind of listened to this on the train while not really paying attn to the Lyrcs. Music kinda just made me want to sleep. Anyway.

This was ok. Never heard it before. Not something I’d go back to likely.

I liked the music. Not really the vocals. But it was ok.

Amazing album. My favourite Radiohead album and one of my favourite albums of all time.

Didn’t enjoy it all that much. Surprisingly, I had never heard a single song from this. Most of it sounded the same.

Listened to it a lot back in HS.

Better than I thought. Decent classic rock, haven’t really heard any of this before. Nothing special but nothing not special.

Some classic songs but not his best album for sure!

I don’t think any comments are necessary.

Some good tracks. Not a big big fan of 80s hip-hop (with some exceptions). But there are a couple stand out ones on this one that moved me to a 3

Nope. Not a fan. Very boring. Glad it’s over

Not a big fan of this group. At least the two albums that have listened to. This is overall ok…background music. With the exception of the first and last track everything else is just ok.

Not my music taste at all.

Classic. One of my all time favourite Hip-Hop albums ever.

Not something I’d listen to often. Feel like it would be good music to listen to in an Irish bar (not sure why).

Not my favourite band. Not really music I listen to. This one is alright though. Some classic songs.

Actually liked it much better than I thought I would. Enjoyable. Lots of tracks I have heard before.

Overall found it kind of boring and uninspiring

I can see how one would like it if they like it.

Great live Johnny Cash. Have this on vinyl. Always enjoy listening to this.

Not for me. Can’t understand why this album made this list.

Way better than I thought it was going to be. Enjoyable. I had never heard a single song on this album.

Not my thing.

I have never been a Marvin fan. Neither the name nor the music.

Way better than I expected. Never heard of this dude. Enjoyed a lot of it.

Great album!

Back to back 5 star albums!

I’ll give it a 4 star but this album is definitely not their best. Lots of fillers. I think if you could trim this down to maybe 10 or 12 songs it would be a classic!

Strange that they picked this one.

Did not really like much of this

Not a big Bruce fan. He sounds kind of creepy. This album is pretty good though.

Great album.

Not for me.

Not a fan of this weird jazz/funk/r&b mash.

Good album. Some great songs.

Great album. Great group.

Never have been a fan of this poppy r&b stuff.

One of the best Albums ever! So good, don’t get old!

Not too bad. Nothing I would listen to on the reg. I liked that Neil Young cover.

Interesting. Mix of ABBA and queen. Didn’t hate it.

I know I probably just don’t get it but I really don’t. It’s not bad, musically, just boring.

Not bad for what it is. Very listenable album.

I had heard this before and enjoyed it a little better this time. Not something I will listen to often, some decent blues / world music

Great classic rock album!!

Another great classic rock album. Great band. Enjoyable all the way through.

Not a big Smiths fan or 80s rock, but this one is pretty good. An enjoyable record, even if he is a despicable due.

It’s not my genre. Recognized a song or two. Not awful. Not great.

Had never heard this before. I liked it. Need to Liley listen a few times. A different sound

I don’t know if I have been living under a rock but I had never heard this before. I know Sam Cooke but haven’t listened to a lot of his stuff. This live album was so good. One of the best soul albums I have ever heard. Amazing!

Heard this many times. Great album.

Not a big Cure fan, I don’t know a lot of their stuff. This was ok…found it somewhat boring though.

Probably his best album. Listen to Illinoize by Tor if you haven’t heard it before.

It’s a band I’d love to like but not a big fan of that album. With the exception of the first and last track the rest is boring.

Nope. Glad it was short.

Weird. But some of it quite nice. Weird.

Great album. Couple duds but most of it is really good. 4.5.

Great album. Some real classics!

Better album compared to Bebel!

Glad it was relatively short.

Very good album. Love Joplin’s voice and some great guitar!

Not a fan of I get that this is iconic. Influenced so many. Etc etc. but most of it (besides the message) is not very good. A few awful R&B poops on this too.

I love old Bee Gees stuff. What a strange group.

Never bee a big fan of this guy. This isn’t bad. Won’t add it to a playlist though.

Can’t believe this in a double album. And can’t believe this is on this list. And can’t believe this one doesn’t hav genie in a bottle.

Not my thing. Didn’t like the other one that showed up on this list much either. Not that it is awful, just find it boring.

Not as good as 2001 but still great!

Not too bad, couple really nice songs. Never had heard before

Probably should be a 3 star. The music was decent. Not something I’d revisit. Or really ever listen to.

It’s good

Some really good tracks

Didn’t overly enjoy the first few songs. But it got a lot better. Will have to listen a few more times.

Fantastic Country Album!

It’s ok. Not sure I’d add this to this list….

Some good tunes

It’s ok. It’s ok.

A very important album. Not something I’d listen to often, but I don’t mind when I do.

I liked it. Wish the weird voices would stop.

It’s ok

Not my cup of tea.

It makes me want to smash things

Not all that good

Not my genre at all. Wish it were. Maybe as I age it will become. I’m sure this is really good

Was not what I expected.

Very generic, every song sounds the same. Sometimes I didn’t realize when it switched tracks. Glad it was short.

Strange album but the last half is so good!

Never heard this before. Wasn’t bad, a little boring at parts but didn’t hate it

Classic album. Didn’t like any of their earlier stuff (with the exception of a song or two off of Mothers Milk).

Awful music / awful human

I miss old Kanye!!

I liked it better then the other Waits that is on the list.

Better then expectations

Enjoyable

Found it pretty generic and boring

Prob a 2.5. Some of this reminded me of Gorillaz…I guess that’s weird.

Great album!!

I liked

Garbage

It’s got some good tunes. It also has some …. Not so good tunes. None of their later stuff can come close to the old bluesy Fleetwood.

Too many fillers. If you good shorten this to like 10 songs, this would be a classic.

Not a Bjork fan. Have tried, many times. Too many times…

These guys don’t do a lot of bad songs! Classic album

Wow. Rednecks. Strange song.

OMG. Horrible. Sounds like a really bad Michael Jackson. And I don’t like Michael Jackson.Awful. And Long.

It’s ok. Kinda generic indie rock

Two ok songs.

It’s not horrible. Not something I’d play a lot of.

Not my fav

Great album.

Very not good. Very good haircut.

It’s ok. 3 songs I liked.

I had never heard this. A little strange.

Some really good songs, some just generic boring songs. Could have been great.

Naw. Not my music

Better then the last REM.

I respect it. Just don’t really enjoy listening to it

Not a fan. It’s ok. Background music.

It was ok. A little too boring. Couple great hits though

Really good. Amazing to see how many famous songs she has penned. Love it

Pretty good

I like me some Rod every now and again

Not that enjoyable

No much of an ABBA person.

Awful

Very nice

Nope

I had never heard this all the way through. Quite liked it. Nice surprise.

Fantastic album. On of their best

Not very good. Sounds like this should be a soundtrack to an awful play

A classic Hip-Hop album!

Just like the last time this artist appeared….didnt enjoy.

Enjoyable

It’s ok….nothing exceptional

Everyday people

Tis one is ok

Some good tunes

Great album.

Hadn’t heard this before

Love me some Rod!

It’s ok.

Simply one of the best

Reminds me of Joni

Had never heard this. Not my normal listening but it was not bad

Interesting.

Enjoyable

Enjoyable (I said this in the orange juice review and rated Orange juice as a 3. But that was meant for this. Have not listened to orange juice yet. ). Oh well

I liked this one better than the last one we listened to

Awesome. One of the best from the 90s

Awesomeness

It ‘twas ok

Great album

Eric’s Trip!!

Some classic gangsta tunes. Very long though.

Not the biggest Sabbath fan. This was ok

I own this on vinyl. Have listened to it many times.

Nope

Wasn’t a big fan of this

Awesome Blues album

Amazing album

Was ok. Q-tip verse is pretty damn good tho

It was okkkkkk

Just listened recently actually. Was ok. Had a couple great tracks.

Wasn’t really a fan

Love these guys

Just not my thing. Pretty good for old jazz I guess. I prefer it with some hip-hop

Amazing!

Nope

Amazing

Second half of a bad record better than first half but not very good.
