1001 Albums Summary

Not quite my jam, but fav track was probably Hong Kong Bar. Very old school sort of noise for noises sake

Really enjoyed the garage rock, low sound quality and pure concentrated focus

Every song sounded like a remix of the first one. Luckily I dig the sound

What a crazy mix of music. Everytime I thought I had this album figured out it came out of nowhere with a musical break-turn. They wanted to try every genre and succeeded

Everytime I've heard of this band I envisioned blue grass or dad rock. Was not expecting the smooth saxophone and sounds.

Very iconic singing voice. The bangers are bangers, but the rest of it grinds

Groovy dark disco.

Just not a fan of the singers voice. Psycho killer is maybe the most interesting piece on the album which is probably why it's stretched so far into the zeitgeist

Absolute behemoth of an album. This feels like an eternal building block on the musical timeline. Very fun revisiting so many songs from singing classes of yor

Late night drive home rocking out to this album. Not my usual jam, but the true rock does something to the soul

Got a little lost listening to this with so many different versions of the same songs. Pretty sure I listened to the whole album over four-ish days but may have missed a song or two

Surprising mix of Doo-Wop and "please me Kennedy", with a strong end of classic what I would call Elvis. Enjoyable listen

Enjoyed the album, but there were a few songs that tipped it out of the five star range

Interplanetary funk. Playing with the listener as much as the music. Probably 4.5 if I could give halves

I liked the riff line in a few songs, but overall didn't blow me away

Wasn't sure what to expect going into this album but it thoroughly impressed me. A true heartbreak album, He Won't Go maybe being a standout of the songs I hadn't already heard

I can handle a little of that Smiths singing voice, but not an entire album unfortunately.

Repetitive lyrics and melodies that repeated for four minutes per song. Maybe the least exciting singing voice I've heard. - Post Punk, gothic rock, new wave, punk rock

Am I... into disco?

This really grew on me. Eclectic mix of different styles and genres all jammed into one album with some surprisingly good songs within. Although they weren't all hits

I get it now. I started one track just to get a taste of this before bed. Surely I'll recognize most of the music from this hugely referenced album. Before you know it I was laying in the dark, transported. Not at all what I pictured when I'd heard this talked about. What a vision

Totally enjoyable Christmas album. But can never beat my own classic tastes

First two tracks really rocked me, but I lost some steam by the end of the album. Nevertheless I was tapping along to the entirety

Is this prog rock? I still don't know but I really enjoyed this

Maybe 3.5. Really interesting music

Nothing wrong with it, but pretty forgettable

This must be.. satire?.. I'm not sure how else you defend the egotistical, misogynistic lyrics. At least he managed to tell us how large his balls are in each song At least it made me feel SOMETHING??

I hate to say it, but this felt entirely forgettable

Incredibly apt album name which maybe earned it an extra star on its own

I really enjoyed this. Vibes hit strong for me

Not my jam, but it did create an entire genre of music so there must be something here. "I'm outta sight like the planet Mars" - inaccurate

Oh THIS is Steely Dan

Nothing wrong with this, but nothing truly exciting either. You Make Me Feel is a classic for good reason, I'd say this is closer to 4 but didn't quite make it

Like drinking a Cuba libre

Hoo boy, not often a sound is just grating to my ears

Elvis, although I'm not sure how many were covers of other songs. Still I can see why people had to dance to this

Rio is a banger song, but of the remainder nothing caught my attention too strongly

This wasn't my jam in junior high and it's not my jam now

I believe in a thing called love was a surprise on this album, but overall didn't grab me

Unique sound and concept paired with catchy music

Yeah, it's worth the hype

Honky Tonk is right. If I gave this another listen I'd probably rank it higher, but I was running a 5k pr at the time and I honestly don't remember much

The first and last songs in this album are rock solid, but the middle was a little lacking for me

Definitely a higher rate than the first Talking Heads album I listened to

Again maybe due to exposure to these songs in class, but really enjoyed this album. Except maybe "making whoopee"

Felt like finding, under an old tree root, the true spring source for a thousand riffs spanning all genres of music. Backbone music.

Ray of sunlight on a cold winter day. Very much enjoyed this listen

Hit The Plane Down may have bumped this album down a notch for me. But Gold Sounds was a blast from the past I was not expecting

Not as gripping as the first album I listened to, but still enjoyable

Felt like the soundtrack to a Mary Oliver poem.

This didn't stir anything in me, songs for people who scream at street corners

One of the most modern albums I've listened to yet. Surprised I've never heard of them before, but I ended up enjoying it. Really smooth sound

I can appreciate that every song on here is a classic, and definitely deserves a place on this list. My own musical tastes pulls this down a little

Long noise

Eh

Tons of complex harmonies and cool riffs. Really enjoyed this

I enjoyed this more than I expected. Nothing felt groundbreaking, but some interesting melodies and pleasant

Enjoyed it! Half paying attention since I was working out, but liked the lyricism
