1001 Albums Summary

Pleasantly surprised.

A classic for many reasons, "Time After Time" would be the number one for me. Then there's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and through in songs from Prince and Marianne Faithful, definitely a classic!

If I could give it a 10, I would. The Who at the height of their power. My vinyl sounds even better!

This established the band as Rock Gods. Hard to believe 4 guys made that much music. And this album definitely showed they were not just another British Invasion band. The beginning sets the scene for the Opera and from Pinball Wizard to the finale they rule! See me, Feel me, Touch me, Heal me! Turn it up!

I liked songs 7,9,10 and 11, especially the violin. Not really my thing, but glad I gave it a listen.

Surprisingly pleasant

I wish I could find translations for the lyrics.

The See Me Now song isn't available on Apple Music, so I went to YouTube. It was the best song of the album. Not at all my kind of music, but I guess if Rap is your thing, it's not bad. The profanity is off putting to me.

Beautiful album. In this album, Joni starts to get into jazz. She was always growing, reaching. And intelligent lyrics-no profanity needed.

I liked the music better than I thought I would. The lyrics, with the exception of one or two songs are weak, like a song glorifying shoplifting. No thanks.

On song 3 and so far to my ears, this is background noise, not music. To be fair, I will try to listen to the whole album. But if song 3 was his first hit, I'm not optimistic. The song Rodney Yates was the easiest to listen to, but not enough to call this album music.

Took me back to my childhood! Interesting that Leon Russell was on piano and Sonny Bono on drums on all of the songs. Sad that Phil Spector went off the rails later in life. He did produce some wonderful music. Thank you for this Christmas gift!

Cacophony

Surprisingly easy to listen to.

Although this is not really my genre of choice, I found myself bopping along to the music, getting things done. Some sad lyrics

Missy makes rap easy to listen to. Loved the song with Aaliyah, Best Friends

Had this been an instrumental album, I might've given it a five. Loved the guitars! However, the vocals were off putting to me. Most of the lyrics were worth hearing, but their delivery brought the album down for me.

I wish we could give more detailed scores. Because I'd like to give this album a 4.5.

Sadly, more noise than music here.

Another album that I wish I could give ratings with .5 increments. She gets the benefit of the doubt so my 2.5 will be a three. To be fair, rap is not my genre.

I was listening to the album in the background when Burning and Lost in the Dream really grabbed me. Then In Reverse, definitely shades of Dire Staits. I'm gonna go back and give it an attentive listen. Have to decide which way the the 4.5 I'd give it now will go. An Ocean in Between the Waves is an excellent hard driving song. This album would be a great accompaniment on a long drive.

Jump!

Really nice album. Had it on as background and it pulled me in to listen. He successfully melds many genres.

Surprisingly pleasant.

Johnny Cash's last album. I think he was trying to give us what he felt important even as his life was ebbing. Really a 4.5 compared to his earlier albums, but he gets a 5 final from me.

This is not music to my ears. On Nothing Is it sounded like stuck on a scratch vinyl.

Not my kind of music, but some interesting lyrics

A bit too down for me.

Instrumentally, I might've given it a 2, but the vocals made it worse.

Could not listen

Good memories! Hadn't listened to this album in ages!

Really enjoyed this. I was immediately reminded of the Beach Boys at the start of the album and later into it, some beats that just made me want to get up and dance. Nice vocals!

Another artist gone too soon. His music grabs you.

This deserves a 10

Always thought "King of Pain" was underrated.

Good in the gym.

Real music!

If this doesn't move your body, heart and soul, you aren't fully alive.

Nice

Yuck!

What jazz is!

I bought this album the day it came out. Still think it's one of Neil Young's best.

I liked it less as it went on. This is a generous 4

A best album ever....

Just not my cup of tea.

Other than Praise You, I didn't find anything to like about this album.

This album takes me back to 1971. Almost everyone I knew had this album by that summer. Glad it popped up here, it's definitely a keeper.

It really wanted to like this album. The vocals drug it down a point.

The Weight, Chest Fever and I Shall Be Released push it up to a 5.

Having never heard of this artist, I read the reviews and was prepared for an ordeal. However, it was not at all unpleasant. Definitely an '80's sound. I was visualizing Michael Jackson and Miami Vice

Not music to my ears.
