1001 Albums Summary

Unreal album, historic, monumental - one of the best ever.

Learning so much, like that this was the band Eric Clapton started after Cream.. another band I need to listen to. Glad I listened, and it's good background work music!

Quite cool, interesting that they were Bob Dylan’s first electric band too!

Few good songs, but just very same same after that

Incredible

I'm glad I have discovered this band, new to me kind of! Obviously heard the top 2 Spotify songs, but this album is excellent

Second track - I wanna be your dog is such a tune. Another old rock album on this quest so far!

I am so glad I listened to this album, it felt quite pivotal - whether it was or not is a different question, but i recognised a lot of the songs and definitely think a few modern ones took samples from it!

Time of the season is such a classic

Greed is a good track - I respect this album for it's place in music history... but I won't be rushing back to listen.. But i also won't skip when it shuffles?

I respect the history, and if I ever find myself in need of atmospheric film music I know where to go.. but ultimately it's not really sit down and listen to music?

TV party is a highlight

The girl from impenema! what a legendary song. This album is great, I am 100% putting it on whilst I cook something fancy and drink red wine.

What a voice, and what an album. The son of a preacher man is a particular highlight.

Completely inspired by the beatles, very nice calming album, few interesting guitar riffs - would listen again!

Legend of an album

A classic

Yes

Suitably weird, glad to listen whole way through!

hmm

First song is iconic

Actually loved this, easy listening and a few 'funny' songs to go in the playlists!

This is incredible story telling

It was alright

Not for me really.

It's alright, nice and chill - but only 2/3 songs I would listen to again.

Such good background music

Yes! Great album, and comes straight in at the most known banger for song 1

So good, will 100% re-listen

I mean, I understand why my mum liked Rod Stewart so much

Unreal

One of my favourites.

I feel like I want to get into more 80's rock

Obviously

Obviously an incredible album, obviously.

Listening on one of the first sunny days of the year, it just makes so much sense - increase in happiness after this!

When I saw this was 2 hours long, I rolled my eyes, but boy was I wrong. This is incredible, and exactly the reason I started this project - to discover artists like this.

Classics - start to finish.

Legend of an album, will be playing this again.

Would be a 5, but it's so longggg

I surprisingly absolutely loved this, it sounds like something my gran would listen to.

I know it's number 1 album ever.. but not for me? Maybe one day.

I understand why some people like it but it wasnt really for me.

So good

Not for me

Attitudeee

It deserves all the hype - every song is incredible.

Unreal - still sad I didn’t get to see them live last year

So chill and lovely

I feel like I grew up with this music, it’s so nostalgic

I feel like this album is so much more than the ultra famous 'Fast Car' - Incredible, will definitely be listening again.

Honestly, I started this thinking its a bit of a joke - but its actually a great rock album, I loved it.

It's good, but it's alot of the same.

Honestly, it's just a bit of a repeat of the same.

Legendary, iconic, many of the songs were already in my playlist so listening to whole album just made sense.

She's just such a legend isn't she.

Actually quite liked this

Few songs added to the summertime playlist from this album!

It is exactly albums like this that made be begin this project. Wild World is just incredible.

It's hard to listen to Come Together and not hear the DNB version...

Kinda genius?

Classics, added a few to my 'cooking' playlist

So very britpop, experimental, you never knew what you were getting with each song. Kinda loved it.

The drama, very interesting to listen to, the absolute opposite of background music.

What an album, no wonder everyone wears T-shirts of this on

Another one, didn’t think I would like it… loved it

Kinda cool, quite forgettable.

Got the big bangers - love the horns

It's just not for me, and I put off listening to this for ages too.

Such beautiful easy listening. Weekend morning music!

I really enjoyed this, so glad to have listened to more Metallica songs than just the big ones.

Put the lime in the coconut

I quite liked it tbh,

OK, this surprised me! Really incredible - strong lyrics but its the beats that got me personally. Really cool album, very happy to of listened from start to finish.

One of my all time favs

Will put this on again and again. Legend of an album.

Will listen to this again, really cool.

Good classic rock music - lil bit backgroundy

Will always and forever love Bob Marley

Everytime i listen to a beatles album from start to finish I am shocked at how incredible it is.

The big songs are obviously amazing, but the rest is a lil boring.

Once in a lifetime might be one of the best songs ever.

Sounds like bo burnam

Very cool. Maybe too cool for me.

So pleasantly surprised by this album, some incredible tracks and harmonies. Happy to of discovered the,

Bit whiney init? Guys a good songwriter i guess, but for some reason I didnt love the album.

Cool sounding, some of the lyrics are pretty dated.

Some of the songs very much remind me of my indie teenage years - quite experimental really upon full listen!

Never met a Beatles album I didn’t love.

A few songs added to the weekend morning playlist from this incredible album. What a songwriter.

It's very cool, respect the craft, but it's just all a bit the same, or blends into the background for me personally.

Not sure I have ever properly listened to 'Everybody Hurts' before, or perhaps it just hits different now I am a little older, but oh my, what an absolutely incredible song. What an incredible album from start to finish.

Struggled with what to rate this one as Tiny Dancer is an incredible song, and somewhat special to me also. But the rest of the album beyond that? It was just.. ok? Maybe slamming out album after album in quick succession doesn't create masterpieces.

There’s too many 60’s and 70’s rock albums on this list. I fear this album is getting a lower rating purely based on the fact I feel like I’ve heard this album about 20 times already.

Yessss, this album is like a breath of fresh air after a string of 70's rock albums, so perhaps I went into this hungry for variety. Added a couple songs from this album to my playlists!

The singles are good, and very much sound like the 80's to me - but rest of album is kinda forgettable.

Always and forever one of the best front to back albums. This blew my mind the first time i listened the whole way through.

Good music history with this one

So good.

Not very often music makes you really feel something, but I 100% got that with this.

It’s chill and emotional but in a happy but sad way. I like it

Actually loved this, never listened to beck before but I certainly will now.

Excellent, fun vibes.

I think I am a black sabbath fan now..

Really cool, I'm glad this list has exposed this to me

There's alot of Bob Dylan on this list. This is another good album, but I fear I have heard one so I have heard them all - Mr tambourine man is a good song.

I honestly loved this, it put me in the best mood. What incredible songs, all of them.

It just all sounded the same and I am not sure why it's on this list tbh.

Loved this, very of the time.

I found this so boring. But it feels too harsh to do any less than a 2 as I can appreciate it's probably someone's cup of tea.

One of the best albums ever.

It was very theatrical, couple of good songs. Overall wouldn't put it on again.

I understand why this made the list, I do like listening to sorta origin albums - it's clear this was at the start of an incredible era of music. Theres a couple songs I liked too! But overall it's not something I would put on again.

Not entirely sure why this made the 1001 albums to listen to before you die? It's alright... but.. really?

Cheesy rock album.

New 70's rock band discovered!

Looved this funk album! Will definitely pop it on again at some point.

I think I have been listening to alot of dance / atmospheric / a tad experimental recently because I actually quite enjoyed this?

It's annoyingly very good.

So surprising, added a few songs to a few different playlists I have.

Great album really, kinda odd, cool history.

This music is super cute I loved it. Singalong loveliness. How can you not like it?

I can definitely appreciate it! But I just don’t think I would put this on to actually listen to. It’s too guitar hero for me 😅

This is rock and roll music - very cool for some, not for all. It’s good. Better than other rock albums from the same era in my opinion

It’s not for me. I don’t think it deserves hate…. But it really dosnt belong on this list does it?

Oh what an album, so many big hits and this really defined an era in music. It's just not for me though, I can appreciate it, but probably won't be going to da club again anytime soon.

I love this album

I mean, you have to respect it. Super nerdy synth music at it's finest. Also, in this modern day it's funny because its kind of become pretentious record shop music hasnt it?

I didnt mind it apart from his voice, sometimes a voice just goes straight through you. I couldnt even have it as background music his voice was annoying me so much.

This is soooooo 90's - some good some bad.

So vibey, added a few to the summer BBQ playlist!

It's just so pleasant to listen to.

I quite liked this, the music was very cool but I wasn't completely in love with her vocals.

Kinda nice. Maybe not something I will jump to put on again soon.

Beautiful.

At first I rolled my eyes at YET ANOTHER 60’s/70’s rock album - but this one was alright you know.. Still.. bit more variety on the next addition of 1001 albums to listen to would be so appreciated.

This was a welcome change of pace on this list! Good fun listening

I really like this, very vibey.

Legend of an album for sure, but you are voluntarily having men shout in your ear for an hour about partying and hot girls.

Surprisingly really very good.

I feel like I want to host an American themed night and have this in the background.

I actually really enjoyed this. Silly and fun!

I absolutely loved this. Will definitely listen again.

Always and forever a 5.

This is such vibey background music
