1001 Albums Summary

Not a fan

It feels like a update on the Beatles later sound: wonderfully Beatle-esque pop songwriting

"I want this man to go away now." Same, girl, same

Too old, white, male

Some songs would have made a great acapella arrangement

Nirvana and the Wallflowers had a baby and it's this band.

I'm fond of indie rock, but none of the songs stuck with me. I did enjoy the 90s nostalgia.

A gateway to the 2000s post-punk revival.

I enjoyed the unique sounds created by mixing Eastern and Western music theory. This album is proof that diversity can be a powerful Muse for originality and ingenuity.

I was listening to music as a teen in the 90s, and I had no idea how influential the La's were on many of the bands that formed my musical tastes.

Nope, not for me, but I did like learning about this pioneer in Expermenatal Rock.

You can definitely hear the foundations of industrial rock and heavy metal.

Storytelling with interconnected tracks in folk rock. Poetic and unique at times, and I enjoyed Straight to You and Brother, My Cup Is Empty but didn't care for the rest.

Fresh perspective. I enjoyed a few covers more than the originals.

Funky and unique. I didn't know you could dance to the Talking Heads, I enjoyed the beats of this.Album

Tracks are an examination of melancholic disillusionment, the feeling is relatable, but the album is otherwise uninteresting.

The band is important because Hüsker Dü played a vital role in the sound of 90s indie and alternative rock. This album isn't the best example of Hüsker Dü's legacy.

This album is notable for its impact on the noise pop and shoegaze subgenres. After listening I had to play Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage

Excellent storytelling

I loved the Fatboy Slim/Norman Cook remix of Brimful of Asha, and I was delighted to listen to the Cornershop original. I just added a new band to my best-of-the-90s list. I agree that "When I Was Born For The 7th Time" is one of the greatest British albums, and anyone who wants to listen to exceptional indie rock needs to tune in.

Influential in the synth-pop revival, The Bones of What You Believe by CHVRCH☰S, masterfully blends 80s synth-pop with 10' electronic dance beats. I really enjoyed Lauren Mayberry's voice and appreciated the memorable lyrics. I added "We Sink" to my workout playlist.

I read the lyrics instead of just dancing to the beat. MIA has a lot to say about the state of the world for people of color. The message is just as important as the inspired music.

Excellent background music. Surprised this album isn't a film score.

A good introduction to the neo-psychedelia genre.

Interesting mix of musical styles. This album is the first time I heard trip hop and dub. My college radio station played "Clint Eastwood" so many times it became part of my freshman soundtrack, it was nice hearing it again.

This album marks a turning point in electronic music and if you love the genre you'll love this.

No.

Funk, soul, jazz, rhythm and blues with organs and synthesizers.

Fun Latin beats! Loved discovering Tropicália.

Daydream Nation is a foundational work of the 1990s grunge and alternative rock era. The band's blend of noise and melody from their late 80s and early 90s experimental rock and punk sounds opened the doors to the underground and underappreciated chromaticism for the Indie mainstream, paving the way for bands like Nirvana, Pavement, My Bloody Valentine, Hole, Cat Power, and Dinosaur Jr.

You can hear the evolutionary link form between punk and alternative rock.

Elvis is a white face on Black music. I'd prefer an album of the original songs with the original Black musicians. "White cover versions of hits by black musicians ... often outsold the originals; it seems that many Americans wanted black music without the black people in it" (Robert Walser (1998) "The rock and roll era", in The Cambridge History of American Music, Cambridge University Press, p. 358).

Post-hardcore punk amplified by metal noise, distorted guitar, and powerful vocals.
