1001 Albums Summary

This came out when I was in my mid 20s. GNR were huge. Many good songs especially Sweet Chill of Mine and Paradise City.

This album was not my vibe. I found it very boring

Not my vibe but I thought this album was good and well done. A good listen

Total Cure-like 80s vibe band. Very basic songs but ok. I don’t recall them or any of their songs

This was a really good heavy metal album. Big hits off of this one. I had thought they were from Germany but they’re from the UK.

This is an iconic album not just a reggae album. It came out at a time (1977) when disco and glam rock were at their height and punk was on the horizon. The music spoke to the times. I was planning to see Bob Marley in 1981 but he passed away at 36 before his tour reached UMass.

Interesting album. I didn't know what to make of it. Was it electric, punk, alternative, or what. Very listenable and enjoyable.

A bit too angsty for me.

Classic 1985 punk! I really enjoyed the album. I was fun. A lot of Bowie influences.

Really good rock album. I enjoyed it

I don’t listen to jazz but I really enjoyed this album

I liked a couple of her songs when they came out but hadn’t listened to much of her stuff. Not bad.

I thought this was ok. His vocals started to be irritating. But not a bad album

Not his best album but I always loved Bowie. He’s always interesting especially this goodbye album.

Classic hard core punk!. This album came out when I was a freshman in college. Not my everyday listen but a good album

I hadn’t listened to this album in a long time. Amazing.

I don’t listen to salsa but this album was very listenable. Good beats and rhythms

I have a couple of Metallica songs on my favorite list but I haven’t listened to a whole album. Solid rock album all the way around. A great listen.

I didn’t know what to make of this.

I thought the album was ok. Solid hard rock but nothing really jumped out as special

Great old school rap! I added a bunch of songs to my favorites.

Interesting album. The arrangement with horns and some of songs were less punky.

I don’t listen to jazz often and haven’t listened to T Monk. This album was fantastic.

I’m a big Neil Young fan. His second album had a couple of great songs. Cinnamon Girl, Down by The river and Cowgirl in the Sand. But overall this was slow and not too memorable

Very interesting album. I loved his sound.

This was a great surprise. I liked the rhythms and vocals. Very listenable

Terrible. The songs weren’t memorable and the vocals were bad.

I thought this White Stripes album was decent. Nothing impressive jumped out though

Outstanding second album. So many great songs. One of my favorites

This was horrible. I couldn’t listen to the whole thing.

I grew up hearing a lot of Temptations hits on the radio. But I haven’t listened to their collective work. I was really impressed.

I haven’t listened to the Gorillaz much. Really good album. Put some songs in my rotation

Buttery and smooth. Really good.

I’m a big fan of Blondie. They were part of the New Wave movement. Heart of Glass was a huge hit.

The sound on most songs were scratchy and difficult to listen to
