1001 Albums Summary

Fantastic album, such a unique sound.

A very good album. I hear something new and interesting each time I listen to it.

A great Jazz album! Loved listening! I don’t listen to jazz often but this one kept my attention from start to finish.

One of the best Christmas albums of all time!

One of the dining albums as a teenager. Michael and Quincy made an amazing team.

Love Springsteen, this is a great stripped down album that as a songwriter love every song. I would give it 5 stars if it weren’t my favorite album of his.

I have never listened to this entire album before. Shame on me! What a great voice love most every song. I will add this to my vinyl wishlist.

Not my main style of music I like but I did enjoy the vibe of the album.

I found this instrumental album to be hard to listen to with the horns playing the same thing over and over

Never listened to this album front to back before. Some real hidden gems.

Not my favorite Siouxsie album, but still brought back memories of m younger years when music was original.

I haven’t listen to a lot of Hole but I did enjoy most of the songs on this album. The musicianship was terrific.

Album was good but not 1001 to listen to before you die.

Well, not into EDM music so much but I have to say I enjoyed this listen. The grooves had me bouncing around the house. My favorite song was probably the most popular song on the album, red alert.

Have this to my album quest list. Bernie is such a great writer and Elton’s music and voice are one of a kind. I enjoyed every song. The ones I could sing every word as well as the deep tracks.

Nice album. Have never listened to anything beyond the hits but really enjoyed the grove.

I have never listened to a whole Nick Drake album. I kinda liked the laid back vibe. The lyrics were great and as an aspiring producer how this record was made is rarely done anymore. Sounds cool.

There is not a bad song on this album. If you have a album collection this needs to be in it!

A pleasant surprise. Made me want to scat with King Louie.

Not my usual style of music but I didn’t hate it. The grooves and lyrics kept drawing me in.

Yep, evanescence, the early years. I really liked this album. Secrets is a must listen song

I think Beck’s goal was to cover every genre on this album and did a great job. Not in my collection yet but will be.

More fuzz than I have on my face now. I can definitely hear the grunge connection.

A very chill album. I enjoyed listening with my morning coffee.

Have never listened to this album in its entirety until this prompt. Fantastic! On my list of albums I must possess before I die.

Probably one of the best instrumental albums I have ever listened to. I really enjoyed the vamping. The hoots during the song were a bonus.

Loved the music vocals not so much

I love this album, so many great memories growing up listening to it. While I like the first side songs a little better, I never skipped not playing that other side. Each time I heard something new that hooked me.

Yeah, I felt ever song sounded the same. I won’t be adding this to my album collection

I like the movie soundtrack better.

I love this album so much it is already in my collection. The harmonies and songwriting is A++ if only they could have gotten along a little better.

I didn’t hate this album. I just felt that most of the songs had same tempo and this felt like the same song.

As a kid of the 80’s, I loved the vibe of this album. I could listen to this one at least once a week and be cool with it.

Nice album. One of the best voices in music ever! I found myself actively listening to the words. A lot of angst there. For him to come up with the lyrics while in the studio recording is very impressive.

I haven’t listened to this album in over 30 years! What was I thinking? It is on my list of must have albums.

Not my usual music cup of tea but appreciate the artistic talent. I like that I get to listen to music I normally don’t while doing this project.

Love this album, love her voice. A glass of wine, a pleasant summers evening and this album is all I need.

First album I didn’t make it all the way through. Not that it was bad but that I didn’t have 3 hours of time to sit and listen. This is either for my next rave party or a long drive in slow traffic.

Mix between Green Day and the smashing Pumpkins. I didn’t hate but but probably won’t be on my list of must have albums.

I liked this album as I appreciate the greatness of Bowie, but I don’t think this is his best album.

What a great voice. Enjoyed this album a lot.

Only critique is that if a song is going to be in the 1001 songs i need to hear before I die that it is available on Apple or Spotify. Geesh! Once I found it on YT it was a great funk sound.

What an intense album! Not a big rap guy but these lyrics painted a picture of the time in a vivid way.

I knew who Ry Cooder was but never put it together that he was in this band! Love the late 60’s vibe they put out!

Always like VU.

I didn’t hate it but electronic music is not my favorite genre.

Devo, a band that wasn’t afraid of being themselves. Enjoyed the trip back to the late 70’s. Techno before techno.

I really enjoyed this album! Moon safari is the perfect title. I have never heard of it until this project. Probably the best electronic music I have heard in awhile.

Morrissey has a special voice and unique phrasing. I have always enjoyed his music and this album brought back so many great memories

Not a bad album, but not a fan of compilation albums. I love finding those hidden B-side gems. On an album, CD any do that on a compilation. They all are the best of the band. That being said the Hives are a good band. My advice is to pickup either of their 2 earlier albums that made up this one.

Best Jazz album ever!

Reallly enjoyed the lesser known songs on this album. Talk about lyrical genius!

I liked most of the songs on this album. There were a few clunkers that brought my score down.

Hard to find the album to listen but when I did, I heard Dylan and Guthrie. I can certainly hear how they all affected each other. I like folk music so enjoyed the stripped down music and thoughtful lyrics.

I have never heard this album before but really enjoyed it! Exactly why I am doing this project. To find hidden gems like this.

Meh, it was ok but most of the songs sounded the same.

Best Jazz/funk fusion on the list imo. Herbie pours his heart and soul in every creation

A close to a perfect album as you can get, lyrics, melody and originality all in one.

Generally, pop is not my style of music but I didn’t mind this album at all.

It was an ok album. I thought the lyrics/rhymes were simple and lazy at times.

Loved listening to this entire album on my morning walk

Not my style of music but this was back when Kanye had some talent.

I have never heard of this band before, didn’t understand a word they sang but the music was fantastic! Have it on my list of an album to buy.

Never heard of him before but enjoyed listening to this album. I thought each track was significantly different than the previous felt like I was on a wild unexpected ride.

Very interesting addition to this list. Who knew where ambient music came from. I did like the background noise as well as being rewarded when you listen more closely

Some great hits and some ones I haven’t heard before. I enjoyed this album.

Classic album with classic cuts. I have never listened to the entire album before. Cooper is not your average R&R lead singer

A banger of an album.

I found myself dancing salsa and I don’t know how to salsa. Great album!

That sound! I could listen to this album on repeat and repeat

It was an ok album, I felt parts got a little long but didn’t hate it.

Otis is the jam on my toast! I am on the hunt for this album. I need it. Otis is soul!

I haven’t listen to a lot of Patti Smith music so I enjoyed this dive. The lyrics more than the music drew me in.

Love the first part of this album.

Have it on my list of albums I want, such a great album! From lyrics, music and melody, you can’t beat it.

Back to back Stevie wonder albums and I couldn’t be happier. This album has some killer tracks that even my kids weee jamming to. Transcending time is a telltale sign that you have a timeless album

One of my most favorite albums of all time! Every song is a singalong.

Never heard this entire album before. I enjoyed the songs I haven’t heard on the radio before. lemmy has such a unique voice.

This is a must have album in your collection! Banger city here we come!

I didn’t hate it. Like it the first time through

Some real hits on this one.

Top 5 album of all time. No debate.

My head hurts

Could care less about how much was overdubbed because this album rocks!

Loved the vibe of this album.

Have added this to my list of must have albums. So great of talent she was.

Love to funk!

Have this album and love to take a gummie and dive in.

I think I could have missed this album in my 1001 and not regretted it.

Hard to find album but worth it once I found on Youtube

I believe that they have better albums.

Have this album, love this album

Most excellent songwriter, amazing musician but even more than that a very good human being. Wish there were more like her. RIP Dolly

So amused that 43 2 minutes or less song would make this list.

Great album loved this

Loved the vibe of this album! Not something I would seek out but glad it found me.

This album has not aged well.

I liked this album. A group I never heard of. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

I like this album, quirky but very original.
