1001 Albums Summary

I am now cultured

Might be only album from my listening history on this list

Classic

Enjoyable enough

No thanks M&M

Love

The 80s personified

Quintessence

Too bad he’s a terrible person

Classic

Too Andy Warhol for me

No thanks

Surprisingly more enjoyable than I expected it to be

Jazz music is best experienced live

All because of Hurt

Weirdly reminiscent of Tim Burton films

I prefer 70s Bowie

Meh. Likes the instrumentation

Strangely nostalgic for some reason

Part lofi part obnoxious radio show

This was so fun! Why don’t people make music like this anymore? I probably am just ignorant

Interesting

Call me basic but I prefer RHCP’s more mainstream albums

Reminds me of Sesame Street

Really great! Love his voice a lot

More of a high three than a full 4 stars. Heroes is a classic and the ambient songs of the second half are interesting.

Catchy and fun. Would have loved to hear it live

Reminds me of being in my figure drawing classes

Enjoyable, different and interesting

Absolutely classic

Interesting

It was fine. Catchy but also somewhat repetitive for my taste.

There are some sings I liked, others I didn’t. It was somewhat repetitive as well

If this is the album we have to thank for modern Latin music, the. This deserves five stars. That and it’s super fun.

Fun and funky. The first two songs are the best

The forerunner to some of my favorite artists?? Ie, Dixie Chicks, Kacey Musgraves, Band Perry, and dare I even say, Taylor Swift??

Hmm maybe not

Very 90s. It’s the synth drum set that got me.

At first it seemed to blend into all the other retro albums we’ve listened to so far, but then I realized I was actually enjoying myself and listened to the whole album at least twice while driving around on Saturday

Cool and smooth. Could easily listen to for hours on repeat

Really enjoyed Rollin Stone and the first track, the rest of the album was ok.

Felt thrown into a 90s teenage Rom com

Makes nice background music

Enjoyable, a bit repetitive, but I love the energy and the classic rock sound

Pretty great

Not my favorite. Every song sounded exactly the same. I do love Frank Sinatra but I got so bored with this one.

Quite fun

Kinda boring

Really fun! A little repetitive at times but the guitar was awesome.

Fun and catchy. Can definitely see the roots of house music here.

Fun

How did I not know about this band? I’m sure if I had discovered them in 2011 I would have been obsessed. As it is it has a nostalgic sound without me ever having heard them before.

Super

Kinda boring

Fun to run to

I’ve had Me and Bobby McGee stuck in my head for the last 24 hours

Fun felt maybe a little derivative

Really like the instrumentation. Don’t love the style of singing all the time but his voice is smooth enough I don’t mind it as much as some others

Awesome.

If only every song was like Take Me Out

Obviously love Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.

So great. Her voice is perfection.

If you look past the violent and somewhat sexist songs, this isn’t the worst. I like his voice at least.

Some classics here. Fun vocals and bluesy instrumentation.

Not a huge fan of his voice but I like how hypnotic the songs are

Not really my thing

Fun. Don’t love the vocals, and the songs are too long and repetitive. But fun to exercise to.

Fun jazzy and experimental. A little more chaotic than our other jazz albums so far.

Fine. Sounds like most other psychedelic albums from this era

Classic. Songs I’ve been listening to forever. And will probably keep listening to forever.

It’s giving Robbie from Gravity Falls

Pretty great

A more British Beatles but not as charming

The monologue was not my fave. But his voice is smooth and funky. He was definitely ahead of his time. Just wish the album was longer.

There are some songs here that I will be listening to again. But there are also some songs that border on outdated and a little culturally appropriated.

As Wes said, “this is grandma music”

SO GOOD

Boring Boring Boring Wait the coconut song? Cool Boring Boring boring

Fun and retro. Felt kind of samey after a while.

Such fun. 80s rock is the epitome of classic rock.

Super fun. Some of their weirdest songs but that makes them so great.

Fun, sometimes

Not really my cup of tea

This is my genre

Enjoyable! Quite liked it

Liked the instrumental but not the vocals as much. Not my least favorite but the guitar was great

We listened to this album, but I don’t remember anything about it. I think I liked it? But honestly the fact that I can’t remember anything about it says loads.

Fine I guess

I appreciate it culturally. And live it would probably be awesome. But just casual listening it’s not really my thing.

Love me some Joni

Quite fun and classic

This whole time I thought R. E. M., Styx, and REO Speedwagon were the same thing

I love Joni Mitchell. Have I already mentioned that?

Weirdly nostalgic. It’s reminding me of when I was really little living in Texas in the 90s.

Not really my thing

Way better than the last Velvet Underground album we listened to

It’s Ella. What more do I need to say?

Weirdly enjoyable. Much more than I expected.

I liked the instrumentation, but not always the lead vocalists voice

Still don’t like his voice

Some really famous songs on here

Kinda fun

Yeah no. Not my thing.

Quite good. I could listen on repeat all day (and I have)

This rings of my adolescence

Enjoyable. Inoffensive. Never listened to the full album.

Definitely a work of art. I love Kendrick’s poetic style and exploration of deeper themes. Also his ability to say things the way they are.

It was fine I guess

Fun but felt like pretty generic rock

Fun and very nostalgic

I’ve finally listened to a Radiohead album

Objectively a good album. Quite enjoy Jimi Hendrix

Very calming until the growling started

The voice that defined a decade

It was chill

It’s too bad he’s an awful person

There is something so soothing and nostalgic about an acoustic guitar and Wille Nelson’s croon

The number of Beatles-like bands on this list is astounding

Very Daisy Jones and the Six coded

If Gwen Stefani sang in an alt rock band

Darker and spookier than their other albums

Aww she’s just a baby. Not my favorite Dolly but it’s alright

So long and so boring

Fun I guess

Fun precursor to some of my favorite bands. But didn’t love the voice much

I listened to this album on Friday and don’t remember anything about it

Makes me want to dance

Haunting and modern. Quite liked it.

Just classic and so fun

Very interesting

Fun but kind of repetitive

There is an over abundance of 70 bands on this list

Two too many songs about murdering your girlfriend for cheating on you

Michael Jackson sound alike

Inoffensive and nice, but kind of forgettable

Really fun! Too bad their most famous song from this album is my least favorite of theirs ever.

Fine. Songs grew repetitive and mor monotonous as the album went on. Though I did like Once in a Lifetime

Perfect ambience for a tavern

Just gorgeous and beautiful and iconic

Classic, and I like the timbre of her voice. But she didn’t sing with much variety from song to song which made the album kind of blend together for me.

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about.

It was fine. Retro and classic, but repetitive and somewhat misogynistic.

Not fun and I like musical theater

Smooth and strangely old school

I really love the sound but realized I do tend to prefer lyrics with some meaning

A more mellow Of Monsters and Men

Not as weird as I was expecting

Classic

Low key gave me a headache for some reason

So weird. There were a few vibes tracks that were somewhat interesting. But mostly not my thing.
