1001 Albums Summary

At least it's not "Piano Man."

62 year old 'Boy Band' time capsule.

Black Album, without the hits.

EDM took a bunch of quaaludes.

Thus, 1,000 musical cliches were born.

Appropriately Christmas-y, on Christmas.

On every antique store playlist.

A (very) short trailer for Wheels of Fire.

Looks like Kenny Rogers, sings like Randy Newman, all Dennis Wilson.

Barely survivable, just like the albums namesake condition.

I'm sorry.

How much of a tarrif should be applied to this record?

The Big Bang.

A sound reminiscent of a Monty Python, or Mr Show, episode.

A Radiohead placebo, masked by Matchbox 20, pop styling.

I heard a toddler cover this record, track for track, on a Fisher Price toy piano, with his feet.

Maximum soul, minimum funk.

2nd verse, same as the 1st.

Good.

In the bin at a garage sale.

Perfection.

-1 for The Girl Is Mine

Never knew it, never heard it, now I have. Excellence.

Well crafted.

Didn't enjoy it, Didn't understand it, appreciated it.

Sonically similar to a mid table, nil-nil, premier league, draw.

Innovative, groundbreaking, aged as elegantly as roadkill.

Gabba Gabba Great.

Perpetually timely.

Old timey ice cream shoppe music.

Making Rock "and" Roll, cool again.

Metal and Pop, can, and do, mix. Neither of these things happened here.

Taylor's Covid era.

Reminds me, of, "Aloft", if their lobby music was inspired by "Goldeneye" on N64.

Thank you Mam.

This album got nuthin' to fuck with.

PBS rock.

Probably the best album Led Zeppelin could say they are associated with.

A rickity bridge between alt, and indie.

Sanitized of all soul or emotion.

Very good.

If The Moody Blues hadn't made music like this first, then sure, "Invented."

God damned hippies.

It works.

Welcome to the party Indie Rock.

Post-punk does not suffer without this album in its lineage. Challenging, it is not. Obtuse, it is.

Malort is also complex and challenging. That doesn't mean it's tasty.

Funkadelic, the perfect, bad day medicine.

Ruckus, brought.

I love accurate album titles.

Damn it. More Bowie. Damn it. Still great.

For The Smiths, it's flat and short.

A lot to unpack here, and I dont like moving.

Album is 27 minutes to long problems.

I had successfully avoided this album for 26 years. This stupid ap ruined that streak.

With a can full of gas and a hand full of matches.

Gonna need something to cheer me up after this one.

This machine tickles fascists.

Pick whichever album cover you want, this record is still too long.

Ha. Big Muff.

All this album is missing is a cover of "The Nightman Cometh."

Everything hits, except the cover art. Just sit back, and enjoy.

Poor Otis, dead and gone. Let me hear you sing his song. Pretty little girl with a red dress on, poor Otis, dead and gone.

"E" has been around this long? Huh?

I asked Joyce and Vickie, he definitely took the mickey.

Trent was well on his way to doing soundtracks for Disney movies.

Shorter, and less spoken word, and this could be a great record.

That's boring. You're boring. Quit boring everyone.

Analysis is like a lobotomy. Who wants to have all their edges shaved off? David Byrne

Feed your head.

I can taste the Cracker Barrel now, and it tastes SO good.

Looking for donations from viewers, like you.

Both reviled, and adored. I understand both camps, but associate with only one camp.

The album Queen wishes it could have made.

Sounds like the mall.

Sonically similar to taking your car for an oil change, but the technician is a circus clown.

Smile Shane!

Do I have permission to kick it?

Tears For Fears, if purchased at 5 Bellow.

The start of the Seattle sound.

Whole Foods soundtrack.

The boy that you loved is the man that you fear. Nice prediction Brian.

Jazz Hands!!!

I can absolutely see what pissed off sooooo many people about this album. 🙄

I waited through 59 minutes for that?

A nice, curious, surprise.

Almost ska.

Cheese Boyga!!!

Straight from the speakers in a grocery store, in an affluent neighborhood, that sells expensive whiskies, and craft syrup, honey, and candles.

The problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on stage, that was in danger, of being crushed, by a dwarf.

About as heavy as Paganini.

As a listener, the only challenge, I feel, this recording delivered, was in hearing all 44 minutes of it. This made my tummy hurt.

5 stars, because, yes.

Identifying as a 'Middle Aged White Man,' I am required to enjoy this album.

Doo! I can't read that book! Its got them big gal dern awful words in it! Luggit that word there, it gotta be a foot long!

Almost impossible to strip away the myth, and legend, surrounding this album. Doesn't matter anyways.

If you don't like Blur, or Oasis, then maybe this is the Brit Pop for you?

PJ Harvey is in the dictionary as "Criminally Underrated."

The Svenghoulie of music.

No Derek. No Domino's. Not for me.

There were Muppets that only said, "Yip yip yip uh huh uh huh." This is their favorite album.

Named "The Black Crows", only because, "Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers", was taken.

Better back end.

Variety, and fun variety, at last.

Classic, for all the right reasons.

Eliminate all the name drops, and you've got a streamlined, 38 minute album.

Sounds like Elwood's favorite meal, "White bread, toast, dry, nothing on it."

Cross breed of The Cure and R.E.M.

Like the back of a sponge, abrasive, yet effective.

Karl? Where did the name of your new band come from?

I simply can't stop imagining Lemmy as a Muppet character.

Tour de Yawn.

Sounds like they tried to be a "Happy", NIN.

Thats some calm rhymes there.

Its getting to the point, where this album is not fun anymore.

The thing I love about these high school girls, I get older, and they always stay the same age.

ANIMAL BEAT DRUMS!!!

Afrika Bambaadassita.

Making Disco Great Again

Fiesta de bostezos.

Somehow, through many, many, many, lineup changes, and name changes, this becomes, the far superior, "Honeydrippers."

Featuring the criminally underrated talents of John Densmore.

Later Leonard.

SOMETIMES a 17 minute song makes sense...

Nein! Nein! Fraulein!

Owww!

Inoffensive and bland.

Trying to sound like The Killers, with guitars that sound like early Who, and somehow they made it not work.

There's Waldo.

No he's not.

The Singing Mailman delivered.

A solid surprise.

How were The Meat Puppets?

Flavor Flav, the greatest hypeman.

So many bones.

Brooklyn Bob Dylan.

Incendiary title, mild funk.

Further proof of Elvis Costello's importance.

Bonus point for Dr John.

Not even the blemish of Yellow Submarine can make this album less perfect.

Yikes. Robert Plant does NOT think highly of women here.

We all live together on a little round ball.

65 million years in the making.

Ah yes. When albums were sold, wrapped in panties.

Where's the god damned flea?!

Criminally over-rated. Thank God this one is in the rear view mirror.

Good god. It sounds like how a scratchy, turtleneck feels.

That was vintage. Sound and era completely intertwined.

As thrilling as mayonnaise.

Is it?

Visit "Exile In Bookville", quite amazing.

Why drop your own name sooooo much?

The Kinks have better.

Just try to un-hear the Cheap Trick influence.

Were her feet ten feet off of Beale?

Jumanji meets, A Tribe Called Quest.

-1 for Hot for Teacher.

Atari, of music.

"It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks."

Baby metal.

Sleezey, grime-y, bloody, sweaty, filthy.

This record is an enigma. Sometimes the riddle is more satisfying than the solution.

Dull Star. +1 for covering The Kinks.

Three albums in one year. Not one of them bad. Yikes dude.

Begrudgingly a "3."

Tom Waits. Brought to you, by Malboro Cigarettes. Smooth flavor. Raspy vocals.

Hard to say "cookie cutter punk", when it's one of the first punk albums, but, that is what this sounds like

A very uncomfortable time capsule.

"English Electronic," shows up on this list quite often, dont you think?

Whatever it started, Im glad it got better.

Difficult to separate the myth from the quality.

I used to like this album a lot.

If you don't pay close attention throughout, listening to jazz, is like watching a show, where you missed a episode. So, pay attention. This is not a casual listening experience.

Nope.

She studied the lines on my face.

Grunge adjacent.

God I miss Devon Ave in Chicago.

The nap inducing, global sensation.

Known enjoyment.

Sugar? Yes please! Won't you come and put it down on me?

Strange Brew.

Angry Leprechaun.

Ha! That name.

Would be a 3, but 'Stay With Me', earns a +1. Sometimes one song can do it.

Swing swing swing.

-1 for Drive My Car.

Mmmmmmm. Drop!

Saw them open for Spoon on the tour for this record. Hooked immediately.

90 minutes of the most bi-polar album ever. Ranging from unlistenable, to sheer perfection.

Like-able, and interesting, probably won't reach for it again.

Do we get Manassas later?

The mix just takes me out of it.

More British EDM. Yay.

Bowie sounds like Marc Bolan, sounds like, Billie Corgan.

Dollar Store Morrissey.

In case of career emergency, call Rick Rubin.

Shut up, already. Damn.

As 80s as The Breakfast Club.

Fatwa results in immediate disqualification.

Billie Holiday's voice brought to you by Kent. Kent. America's favorite, filtered, and unfiltered cigarette.

Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Syrupy flashback. -1 for Diddy.

Stan: Goodbye Robert Smith! Kyle: Disintegration is the best album ever!

Won't let go.

71 minute, monochromatic, drone.

Yes? No.

Age has diminished the punch this album had on release. Without the Wu's context, it's sounds mechanically repetitive.

Pre-robot Era.

Disqualified for Kevin Spacey association via American Beauty.

So close to a great rock and roll record.

Attempting to add this to the curriculum for any firearm safety course that I can find.

Brian Eno, saves the world, kind of.

Anthony Bourdain style, New York swagger. This is not a bad thing.

Any Richard Thompson appearance is a joy.

Innovative, ahead of it's time, and basically unlistenable. The single star on the sleve is apt.

What? No Kid Rock?

Rob? Top 5 crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the 80's and 90's are?

An album title about Sheboygan, Wisconsin?

I'll take anything with a Richard Thompson appearance.

Solid and abrasive. I get why people hate it. I don't.

Refreshing.

This did not age well.

Quiet Storm?

This is for real.

Haunted house rock.
