1001 Albums Summary

I have a vinyl and cd of this one from what may be the greatest band of all time. Great to listen again

I'm like, "This is grunge!" I've heard the name and knew I had probably missed something back in the '80s and I was right. The precursor to so much music I would later love. Very cool album

Never really clicked with Paul Simon. Maybe things he was doing at the time were breaking new ground but it’s always left me flat. Okay album but was kinda waiting for it to be over

Couple of listens and there’s some interesting stuff in there. Wildside of course and the upbeat stuff I liked like Satellite. Overall meh though

An album that's ingrained in my memory. I ahven't listened in years even though I still own the original CD but after this re-listen it all came flodding back. There's some U2 hate out there that I don't understand past just being about the personality of the band but man I love this album. Dancing around the living room on this listen. Red Hill Mining Town is extraordinary. In God's Country. Trip Through Your Wires. LOVE One Tree Hill. Side 2 is beautiful.

Some Funky Bowie. Young Americans is great and there’s some other cool stuff in there too.

A couple of songs in I was enjoying it but not blown away. Then when Starman hit there was a stretch of songs that pulled me in. Decided I needed to listen closer and now on my second trip through this album is incredible. The Ziggy Stardust Bowie was before my time and I thought of it as a gimmick like KISS. (KISS is fun but ain’t that deep:) This is not that. Love this album!

I didn’t really expect to be given an album that I had never heard of the band. Some obscure ones that I’d never listened to maybe. But I’ve never heard of The Youngbloods. Gave it a couple of listens but never clicked

Listened again and there are moments but not my favorite Stones album

Some gems for sure. Didn't keep me for the whole album but loved the incredible singles

With these beats and melodies I could listen to this over and over. Maybe a little too heavy on the simile rap but that was the time I guess. The little spoken word sections are fun the first time through but get skipped later on. Quibbles though. Great album

I’m sure they were influential and there are a couple of nice tracks but overall there’s a softness that rubs me the wrong way.

Halfway through and this is excellent! Grovin' along and need to back through the lyrics but love what I'm picking up. Such a vibe. Off to find more from her. LOVE!

Smooth beats and there's nothing like Snoop's voice but I can't get past the juvenile, pretend gangster, misogynistic lyrics. (Love "Who Am I" though:)

I feel like I should like The Smiths more than I do. “There is a Light…” is wonderful but overall not an album I’d listen to often

Rolling through the whole album thinking, meh. Then Time of the Season hits. A song that was in every 60's movie or 60's throwback movie. That beautiful Hammond organ. I felt like if Id have gone out and bought the album because of that song, I would have been disappointed by the rest.

Another one I own and love. Haven't listened in a while so I went back through it a couple of times and while I may not love it as much as I did when it first came out, it's still excellent.

If I were going to listen to EDM outside of a club setting, I would actually put some of these tracks on. Mostly though, I'm not going to buy and play EDM at home or in my car.

Some good classic country. Some weird obsessions with cheating and killing the cheater. Probably some other Yoakam I like better but not bad.
