1001 Albums Summary

Not entirely un-novel — there are bridges, intros, and outros this may be cut rom caroling and supermarket shopping versions. There are also songs that have been replaced in the rotation. I noticed a strong inverse correlation between my knowledge of a song and its singability. I think modern versions of many may even have the vocal mixed higher. I couldn’t tell you if some of the tracks were the covers I’m familiar with or not, except for obvious cases like ‘I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus’ as by the Ronettes as opposed Michael Jackson. ‘Parade of the Wooden Soldiers’ was a stand out for me; I think it was the song served best by the girl group style.

Long album, and many of the songs were one idea repeated with little variation. I like the ideas and style though, so there were a lot of song I saved. Don’t know if I would put on the album just to listen to, with my artificial short attention span and all, but would enjoy as movie soundtrack or supermarket music. Sounds like modern video game music, from more than a quarter century ago which is crazy.

Good dad music. Most tracks a little lacking in my specific sauce.

In a bad mood and nothing cut through my thoughts except the acerbic stuff. Dads favorite album.

I like all the sounds but not much stood out.

good music, good album, don’t understand why I heard it through the grapevine is ten minutes long

Mix of songs I would enjoy if I was attracted to men, and strange choices that I either hate or love.

good

it’s the Beatles

I can hear te in so many later songs

I like the Beatles better. Weirdly Christmassy at points.
