1001 Albums Summary

Very fun, not the sound I think of when I think of Ray Charles

Such a unique recording very raw and authentic

Very early hip hop in a fun way. Brought to mind how inflammatory the content would have been at the time.

It was okay. Not really my cup of tea.

Cool, some of the instrumentals were rad but not one I'm rushing back to, I don't think

Wow, what a work. Helped me understand why he is so regarded

She sounds so good here. The backing band is also outstanding. This was a treat

Fun, he sounds great, but it got repetitive for me by the end

Interesting, not super my jam, but glad I know it exists!

Cool! Not something I would have found on my own. I might be going back to this one later.

Awesome, she is a force here. Glad for the push to listen to this one front to back

Fine, I know the hits and that was fun. However, I don't think I would go back to the rest of it. Not bad just not overly impressive either.

Fun, there was a lot more in this than I expected

Not my style of music. Happy to know it exists, but I will not be going back to this well.

It was fun,but nothing astounding to me. I can hear their influence on Gorillaz, though.

Not a fan of his voice. It makes it hard to listen do his stuff. I know I'm in the minority here.

Really fun, just as weird as I would expect. The bass lines were amazing!

I can see why this is on the list. Isn't something I'd regularly throw on, but I'm glad to know it's out there!

Not for me. Not my style of music. There was some cute writing in there, but I found it hard to enjoy beyond the country twang.

Groovy! There was some really great music in here

Not really for me. Just kinda passed me by

So good! What a group of musicians just playing their hearts out!

It was interesting. Felt very intimate, almost too intimate, like I shouldn't be in room for it. String arrangements were incredible!

This rocked! So glad to have had an excuse to listen to this one front to back!

Not for me. It just kinda went by

Amazing! I really enjoyed this. Not a "throw this on to dance to" record, but it has such range! Makes for fun listening

Good, I enjoyed how blues heavy it was.

Fun, I don't know if this is something I will throw on but myself, but I'm glad to know it exists. This is a 2.5 for me, but I can't give half scores...

Not really for me

Fantastic! I saved this one!

Really funky and fun. Really happy to have had a reason to listen to it.

Fine, not really many strong feelings about it

Lovely. Can't believe it took me so long to listen to this one front to back

Definitely fun and of a style. Don't know if I'll be listening to this one again, but it was a good time!

Very solid. Fun to learn about the history of this one.

It was fun. I like this better than the last one!

Really fun to explore this one all the way through. However, I think it over stayed it's welcome after a little while. That said, there's such a range here. What a treasure

It was fine. The opening track didn't age super well, though...

Delightfully weird. I'm glad to know this one is out there

Solid, very funky, but I wasn't amazed by it.

Fun, it was oddly familiar. A little bit 1975 a little bit Bob Dylan.

Amazing, I had a lot of fun with this one. One hard skip (Dumb Girl) but overall fun. Certainly hear its age in the drum machine though.

Despite my Coldplay hatred, I found myself enjoying moments of this.

This was fun. I'm glad to have come across this one

This was amazing. A few less than amazing songs on there, but wow, I can't believe I hadn't listened to this one fully before. Love Moby

This was so good! They sound amazing, and I found myself having such fun with this album!

Wow, she is a force here. Some haunting song writing in here. Really sticks with you

This was fun! I doing think I liked it as much as low end theory. It felt more scattered than that album, but it's still so strong.

It was fun to get some context on this one.

Not really my kind music. Didn't love it didn't hate it

This was great! I saved this one. More here than I was expecting

Fun, I'm really glad this one came along.

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. I appreciated the clear guitar sounds, very of its time in a good way

This was really good. I will be coming back to this one

It was fine. Not really my jam

Not really my kind of thing

The song writing is amazing and night swimming is still one of my favorite songs of all time. However, his voice gets to me after awhile

There were some fun moments here, but this largely passed me by

Fun, if a bit chaotic. Certainly different than what would have been going on at the time

She's heartbreaking here. This is a beautiful work

Solid, glad to listen to this whole thing. It does put me the mind of a specific time and place.

Spectacular. So much range here

Interesting, but I don't think I understood the goal with this one

Really fun. He's great here. So many bangers from one album

Felt similarly as I did about the last Bjork album. Interesting, but I'm not sure I understand. I felt like I was intruding on something that wasn't for me?

I enjoyed this a lot. I was sleeping on Blondie. The whole band sounds amazing here

Fine, the guys were fun but this rest of this just sounds the same.

Interesting at times. Overall not really my jam

The song writing is terrific here. His singing voice got to me a little after a while.

Fine, not super interested in this one

Solid, if a little long for me.

So fun, I really enjoyed this one

Outstanding. Just outstanding

Interesting, but not my thing

This was really fun

I liked this one more than I liked the last dire straits album

Fun, I enjoyed listening to this whole album. However I really only connected with the ones I already knew. Might need revisiting

She's amazing and she sounds great here

Fun, I enjoyed hearing such an iconic piece of work for it's time.

They're fantastic here. Happy to listen to this one all the way through

Not for me

She was so good here. I'll be going back to this one!

Fun, not sure I'll go back to it, but it was a good time

Fun, so funky and of a specific time!

I enjoyed this more than I expected. The story is creepy, though. Musically very interesting, but narratively questionable

It was cool. Not something I think I'll go back to, but fun to listen to at least once

Interesting. Not really my kind of thing, but I recognized a few songs in there

My favorite Beatles album for a reason. What a treat

Really fun, I enjoyed this one quite a bit

I enjoyed parts of this for the storytelling but his voice is tough after a while

Amazing! It's interesting to be reminded of where they started. This still has the playfulness of "just messing around." It sounds so punk this point

Fun to hear the hits but overall not for me

Heart breaking. Don't know if this is a throw on in the background type album

Really good. I liked how "sketchy" this one was. The concert snippets made it very collage like

She was really good here. I liked this one a lot

Not really for me

This was really fun! Such a cohesive world they made with the album

He's great here. Makes me sorry for what he becomes. Separate art from artist, I guess...

This was fun, I knew this one a little bit. I don't know if I will go back to it, but I enjoyed it the first time

Solid, I enjoyed this one. Don't think I'll go back, but there are some good tracks in here.

Not really for me. Some good moments, but not my scene overall

Quite fun. Very cool indeed

This was outstanding. I really enjoyed this one a ton! The bass lines are amazing!

Interesting, I liked the trip hop feel of this. I don't know that I'll return to it, but a cool listen at least once.

This rocked! I'm so glad I got this one!

This was fine. I am just not a U2 fan. I'm not sure that I see the hype.

This was nice, it was fun to realize that songs I knew by other Marleys were, in fact, covers. Hearing the originals was fun!

It was fun. I don't know if I'll go back to this one, but I like "Heads will Roll." I knew that one well already, so it was cool to learn where that one came from.

This was okay, not super my thing

I liked this more that I was expecting to. This album is something of a meme in my mind, but I was thrilled to discover it's so much more than that. There's some great stuff here!

Not for me. There were moments, but overall, not my jam

Incredible, this might be pushing for my favorite Beatles album!

This was strong. At times, I could hear its age, but the influence it would have is so clear. Really fun

Really cool, I am so glad this exists

It has moments to be sure. Not sure it's my thing, but I got this more than other albums of his

Not really for me

Nice, I enjoyed hearing the hits. Good to put them in context

Amazing! This felt like a party and I was so happy to be able to stand in the back!

Fun, probably not something I'd throw on all the time, but very glad this came up for me

Not for me

This was interesting!

This was amazing. He's really strong here

This was cool, I'm really glad for an excuse to listen to it completely. I'm not sure that I "get it" yet, so more listening is needed

Not for me

Interesting, I don't think I'll be listening again, but it was cool the first time

Not really my thing

This was really fun. I'd heard this before for the first time recently, but it was nice to listen to it in the headphones. Lots of great musicians here, I would say

Really fun, not sure I fully got this one, but glad to listen to it fully!

Fine, I like the hits, but this largely sounds the same to all other rock of this time

Not really my thing. It had moments, but overall, not for me

It was fine. I find his vocal choices grating more often than not

Fine, I wasn't overly impressed

She was amazing here. Heart Breaking but so amazing

This rocked. I appreciated how many different textures there were here. Beyond that, it was restrained unlike some of the more modern dance music. I really enjoyed this.

I enjoyed this. I want to like even more than I do, but it's always felt a little disjointed to me. However, it's an amazing piece of creativity and the two singles will be in my rotation for a long time

Fine, not really my thing

I think I would need to be in the right mood for this to hit. Generally, not something I'm going to just throw on

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to. The bassist here deserves lots of credit.

This was nice. Not sure I'll go back, but glad Ive gotten it at least once

Not for me at all

This was really great. Don't know that I would put this on often, but what a good time in the right context

This was great. I'd forgotten many of these songs but they were on repeat for me for many years long ago. A wonderful reminder!

I liked this more than I was expecting. It was more dynamic and nuanced than I was imagining. That said, two hours was more Metallica than I needed. I'm good for a while I think. Still some remarkable music here.

This was cool. Not rushing to go back, but certainly enjoyed my first go around

I really enjoyed this. I must admit it started out really strong and by the last few tracks I was ready to move on, but it was still such a great time overall

Really fun! What a special piece of music history. I will say, it was a bit long for me, but I enjoyed it a lot. Might take this one in a few sittings next time

This was amazing. I'll be going back for more from this one for sure

Not really my bag. Not fully sure I understood what was intended with this one.

Not really for me.

I liked it more than I was expecting. Not the style I thought this band was known for. I was surprised

I enjoyed it more than expected, but overall, not my thing

This was really nice. Fun to hear some of the hits
