1001 Albums Summary

I thought some songs were incredible while other songs were ballad-y in a way I didn't prefer. Her voice and the subject matter was captivatig.

Groovy, sexy, very fun album to listen to

An absolute classic. I’m reminded of my teenage angst and also singing in the truck with my dad on the way to seminary in the early morning. The lyrics have so much emotion and they actually made rock rap work.

Super weird album. It feels almost manic. Some true bangers like once in a lifetime. I like the song listening wind.

Whiney, sulking mostly bad. I’m reminded of my boyfriend in 9th or 10th grade singing me Wonderwall and me breaking up with him because the sentiment was not shared. All that said, Champagne Supernova is a phenomenal song.

Heartbreaking, captivating, one of the voices of my teenage years. Elliott Smith was such a tortured soul. I love every song on this album, forwards and backwards, it gives me goosebumps.

Being a millenial, I have this impression of U2 as cheesy. Stopping and intentionally listening to Joshua Tree gave me a lot of appreciation for their music. I really like the song Trip Through Your Wires, it has a different feel from their other music. The album is also pretty solid all the way through, especially starting strong.

Captivating, soulful, beautiful all the way through.

I love the feeling of this whole album. Every song evokes such a specific feeling and is a treat to listen to. I especially like My First Lover, Red Clay Halo, and Everything is Free. Everything is Free was ahead of its time in commenting on where the music industry was heading. Gillian Welch is a national treasure.

Solid. What's not to love about Steely Dan? This isn't their best album, but it is very likeable with some fun songs. Razor Boy is an odd song, I wonder what it is about.

I find it hard to connect with this album, but it must have been such an incredible experience to be in the room. You can hear the crowd going wild. The musicianship is incredible.
