1001 Albums Summary

Full of classic songs, that I've heard many times, but never listened to in album format. A really fun listen for my amtrak ride.

Enjoyed the vibes - felt too same same for me to really love it on first listen, but parts of it really grabbed me. Will definetly revisit & give it a closer listen. I expect it will grow on me.

I usually say "I don't like country" but this was the type of country I can get down with. Dolly has so many known songs, and so many albums I haven't known where to begin. Nice to hear how she tells a story across the album.

Loved the different vibes on the first half vs the second! The horns, the layers, the production all blew me away & I felt like dancing. It was a littttttle long, but thoroughly enjoyed.

Very specific style of music but reminded me of my mother and felt nostalgic. I enjoyed the listen but probably won’t return to it frequently.

All the holiday classics that you hear every year. Has a limited scope of when you can listen to this (on Christmas Day, like when I was generated this album). Ranking a little lower since its holiday specific music.

Really pleasant listen, complex instrumentals. Not my favorite Pink Floyd.

A cool listen, could feel the art school - felt pieces of the Clash, pieces of Lou Reed but a little more pop. Might need a few listens to grow on me. The type of music I love from my peers but is a little harder to get into when its a few generations older than me.

Fun to listen, found myself dancing. I have a prior relationship with a lot of these songs that I can’t kick, but overall liked it more than i expected.

Cool to explore a new genre and music from a country I haven't explored. Enjoyed the sound but it felt repetitive after a while.

Not my favorite. No really stand out songs for me, and very same same.

I really enjoyed this! Lots of classic rock references and riffs. Loved the songs cowritten by Lisa Bonet.

Incredible album. Every song is unskippable. Full of classics, but a few lesser known gems (to me), and a great listen all the way through. I loved it so much I listened to it again right after finishing.

This has been a favorite for a long time. It transports me back to high school photography class when I listen to it. I haven’t heard the whole thing in full recently so some songs that would have dragged were nice to hear again. A classic and getting a higher rating for the nostalgia factor.

Not for me. Wasn't bad music, just a little avent garde for my typical listening. Cool to hear old electronic music and learn more about it.

I've never been the biggest Pink Floyd fan (controversial, I know), but this has some really incredible songs. You can hear how the Beatles specifically had a huge influence on parts of this album, and how Pink Floyd in turn influenced a generation of music. A classic for a reason. This is between a 4 and a 5 for me. I'll give it a 5 for now, since I'm early into this project.

A little long, and a little gospel-y at times, but some real bangers mixed in, and generally enjoyed the ride.

okay YES - this was such a great listen! I've always loved Give Up the Funk, but this was like expanding that feeling to a full album. A new favourite.

I opted for the shorter 'best of' because there was no way I was making it through three hours. I enjoyed the songs, but I grew a little tired of it by the end... and this wasn't even the long version. I think point knock for the length, point knock for being a little dull. But Ella, I love you, just in smaller doses, and perhaps a different era of Ella.

I went into this one blind and was plesantly surprised - have heard a few of these songs before, and cool to hear what I'm guessing is a precursor to Brit Pop. I hear Oasis in the vocals, maybe just the accent, or Liam was inspired by Happy Monday. This might become a 5 for me long term, for now its a strong 4.

I've seen this album everywhere, but never actually put it on to listen. The concept is an A+. I gave it a first listen and liked the vibe, but it's not totally my thing. A second listen deepened my understanding and made me love it more. I'm giving this a 5 because I love that it exists. I don't know that I'm going to listen to this on repeat, its a little long. But I see myself returning, and the love of it growing.

Loved it. So fun & gets a little more rock than I realized.

Parts of this I love, parts of it are a little too Age of Aquarius for me. Mainly it goes on a little too long, and gets a little too hippie. The folk leans Irish Folk music, which I really enjoy, even though I know the band is English. The story telling and the instrumentation is really cool.

Uhhhh, yes please! Back to back perfect.
