1001 Albums Summary

pop rock perfection with some timeless hits. “One Way or Another” and “Heart of Glass” are obviously classics, but the whole album is so fun

there's a reason why Metallica are the legends that they are. this isn't a genre/band that I typically reach for.

one of my all time favorite bands and albums. Abba and Mamma Mia have been super formative for me. I love them and this album!

love a good jazz album! definitely would not have found this on my own, I've never heard of Charles Mingus!

not my personal favorite album as a whole, but I have been listening "Wild World" for years now! I can appreciate the impact this album has had without necessarily loving it myself.

YEAH I loved this. Only Teething and Get On It were my favorites.

A little bit too weird and abstract for me to enjoy casually. Not a huge fan of this, and probably will not be revisiting, but I can appreciate the experimental-ness of it.

"Take Me Out" is one of the most iconic 2000's indie/alt rock songs of all time. This album rocks.

Everlasting Light! Howlin for you! Ten Cent Pistol! The Black Keys you will always be famous............

Alternative dream pop at it's best

Take It Easy makes me incredibly weepy and nostalgic for some reason. I love this album.

turns out my dad was kind of onto something when he said the Beastie Boys are good. I don’t think i’ll revisit a lot of this (just not my preferred casual listening genre) but it is good. I didn’t realize how jam band-y the beastie boys could get but i can get behind it.

enjoyed this more than I thought I would!!!

tbh I don't really like this but whatever. also holy shit lou reed you cannot sing</3 his voice on How Do You Think It Feels drove me crazy in particular, because the arrangement and guitar was great, but then he'd open his mouth and like bro SHUT UP

I like Joy Division and a lot of songs on this album, but the album as a whole was a tough listen honestly

3.5. Very cool little album from a band I had never heard of. Liked this one a lot.

what the hell sure Talvin

Listened Before? No Pros: Classic 90s grunge, some good moments, didn't totally hate listening to it Cons: Truly fugly album art, "life is hard and so am I", just overall not my favorite, got boring in parts Songs Added to Playlist: None lol

Listened Before? Partially! I knew Bad Mood Rising and Green River Pros: EXCELLENT album from CCR. They're legends. Cons: None! I really enjoyed this Songs Added to Playlist: Green River, Commotion, Bad Moon Rising

Listened Before?: Partially! I knew I Feel the Earth Move, It's Too Late, and You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman Pros: I saw another reviewer point out how this 1001 albums list is severely lacking in entries from women. While this album isn't my personal favorite, Carole is an icon, and this album is a testament to that. While I found the album kind of sonically boring, Carole's songwriting definitely shines. Cons: Not an album/genre I'd personally usually reach for, dragged on in parts Songs Added to Playlist: It's Too Late

okay Marvin!

Listened Before?: YES Pros: I. LOVE. THIS. ALBUM. I've loved this album for 10+ years, back when I discovered it on Tumblr in my childhood bedroom. Pre-AM Arctic Monkeys is just so classic, so wonderful. For being a 20 year old debut album, this still holds up. It is seriously so awesome. Arctic Monkeys forever. Cons: NONE! I wish it was longer! Songs Added to Playlist: The entire album. My fav is always I Bet You Look Good on The Dancefloor though.
