1001 Albums Summary

just some nonsense

interesting sounds & managed to keep my interest. sounds like more fun to play than it is to listen to and some of the songs go on forever for no good reason

music for people who think the breakfast club is a good movie

what a delightful album :) beautiful sounds, catchy melodies & meaningful lyrics the talent on display here is unbelievable

quintessential dad rock unfortunately very boring and forgettable outside of the 3 popular songs (which are good)

so many apostrophes

truly terrible but at least they're attempting something interesting also why is the mixing so gross

i can't believe i'd never heard of them until now!!

too long, could've been 5 stars

one of the beatles albums ever

good ideas, execution could be better

christian summer camp soundtrack

she tried

absolute masterpiece and a huge inspiration to me personally

this is why i do this challenge

vocal talent ≠ interesting music

made my skin crawl

great melodies

epic

man whines over piano

sooo 80's /neg

a visionary

insanely good hip hop brought down by a massive ego

sure needed to hear this one

practically perfect

album for lovers of the color beige

a fine formula that overstays its welcome

pretty but forgettable

it's offensive he thought he could improve any of these songs by sing-talking over a boring guitar

feels violating

two madonna albums heard. TWO STRIKES

talented players with mediocre songwriting

harmonicas to me are the opposite of banjos where i'd expect to hate banjos but they produce the most beautiful sound known to man whereas i'd expect to love harmonicas and instead they make me want to stab my eyes with a pencil

no skips

pleasant background music

can these books stop glazing anything a random british man does

paleolithic music

would you still love me if i was a horse and you'd have to clean my manure

one of the albums ever

a little too indieslop for me but does have some bangers

i wanted to like it i swear

irredeemably boring

length often lessens impact

my respect for electronic music has greatle decreased since I started this challenge

few albums with songs this long manage to keep my attention throughout

i'm so glad we're past the days of this music being acceptable

poena sensus type of album

how do they tell the songs apart

music for nana fans (guilty as charged)

way too slow for me

too repetitive for me but i can appreciate the talent on display

the 70's were a mistake

david bowie if his lyrics were awful and you stripped him of all charisma and flair

moody and cool

laughable

moby did so much damage

i can't believe this is how i find out neil young sucks

not gonna lie so many albums on this list are only praised because the artist died tragically/prematurely and this is one of them

lyrics don't matter when your songwriting sucks

i did not realize led zeppelin were so country pilled

britslop

I've never been a 13 year old boy in the 80's but I'm assuming I would've loved this

how is this popular

maybe if i took lsd this would work

solid & snappy

kind of nondescript but very pleasant background music

very competent i'm just tired of Kanye

if this album was a person i would poke it with a stick until it died

insane debut

so authentic that it evokes feelings for an era I never lived. perfect punk sound. so damn inspiring

I wish it wasn't one of a kind

fuck bob dylan and his fuckass harmonica

nursery rhyme melodies with the most boring voice reading awful lines over them

it actually sounded pretty good it's just not memorable or replayable enough unfortunately

too plodding for me

proof that the drummer makes the song no drummer = no song

I can't believe I heard all of that waiting for something to happen

not for me

good songwriting but sonically very boring

absolutely stellar album if it wasn't for the last four tracks

more lows than highs

i wish my heart was on fire

country is evil

two 60's country records in a row should be ILLEGAL

too droning to be anything more than (good) background music for me

easy to listen to! extra star for being in Spanish

iconic album from my favorite era of hip hop

rock album from the 70's

feel like I gotta take a shower after listening to this

didn't really pique my interest at any point unfortunately

fuck this schmuck

3 stars for 3 bangers. rest is worthless though

what a cool way to find a great band I'd never listened to they had me at Juana's Adicción

waste of time

this is what happens when a straight man tries to be sufjan stevens

an album not meant to be listened to i can respect it, but cannot give it a higher rating

bored out of my mind with this one

it's music and i listened to it

extra star for being an inspiration to some of my favorite artists

boring as shit

school of rock type beat

battlestar scralatchtica is possibly the most late 90's song title ever conceived

a little too long for this style but it's a good style

they play too much

daxter type beats

fuck rush

it's undeniably good funk but I just don't love funk as a genre, more as a complement to other styles

should've made it FASTboy slim

evil billy joel

refuses to die

so bad it made me reevaluate the way I rate albums like THIS is a true 1, maybe I've been too rough on all those other records I gave 1's to

more a jam session than an album

some dynamic variation in its pace and this could've been a 5/5

dance music should have pace and a soul and this has neither

I accidentally turned the volume all the way down halfway during free bird and decided to keep it that way

sonically competent, musically inept

good stuff

incredible shredding for background music

I definitely have a soft spot for this one but it's genuinely a perfect punk record

mass production contains possibly the worst bassline ever recorded

so extremely competent and yet I find myself bored

groundbreaking and listenable

extra star for portuguese

very pleasantly surprised, the atmosphere alone carries the entire record

absolutely foundational for me and one of the reasons I started playing bass mike dirnt goes truly insane on this record

good jazz for jazz listeners (not me)

a true masterpiece + epic hitchhiker's reference!!!

3 great tracks but otherwise it's filler

I haven't listened to The Doors since I was a teenager and I cannot believe I used to actually listen to this. No wonder I was depressed

white boy slop

elvis more like alvisn... and the chimpnuks ;)

emanates a racist aura

good pop songs that are way too long

I wish it was weird in an interesting way

people in the 90's be like: guys they made beatles 2

some absolute bangers in there but ultimately way too long

songs from the poopy butt by tears for fears

guy who's only ever heard the school of rock soundtrack, listening to back in black: getting a lot of school of rock vibes from this...

3 stars for god only knows

kind of unsatisfying

pleasantly surprised

just not catchy at all

it really is too bad it sounds like crap

actually genuinely put me to sleep

absolutely generational pop album

I didn't like the ending it sounded like the dentist

just too droning

pleasant

first album I do not have the strength to finish

to the guy who said "Me and my girlfriend did interesting things in the back of my car to this" it's MY GIRLFRIEND AND I dumbass

canyon jam was kind of offensive ngl

never has an album name and artist name been so mismatched in coolness

one of the most confusing bands to me. They suck so much but get so much universal praise

samba triste is the closest I've gotten to appreciating jazz

embarrassing

a good attempt

honk shoo

insane choice on this list

sweaty

had no effect whatsoever
