Virtual band where the songs are better with the video. Midspeed extrication-pop that probably had more relevance and angst in early 2000s
Psychedelic Latin rock with amazing guitar, mostly instrumental. 1.5 songs made a playlist
British Styx. Blending to melodic rock with jazz, acoustic, funk … 1 song added to playlist.
Country folk rock with a few songs I remember as my favorites of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. 1.5 songs made my playlist.
Listened to 2003 remastered edition. Electric glam rock giving off Bowie vibes. 1 song added to playlist.
Alternative rock. Best Black Keys album. Probably should be at least a 4, but not my genre, so downgraded to 3. 1 song to playlist for now. Will likely be one of the first bumped when listening to gets full.
THE Smashing Pumpkins album, but too long. Listened to 2012 remastered with good sound. 93 songs almost 6 hours long. If I didn’t feel Mellon Collie before I did after. 2 songs made playlist, because love is a vampire.
First I’ve heard of this band. I liked the album a lot. Mostly upbeat and more 90s Britpop than alternative rock. Wonder why it didn’t catch on in US. 2 songs added to playlist. Only reason 4 instead of 5 for me is it isn’t a classic for me.
I enjoyed, but not sure why this is a must listen too. Good reminder of the white stripes. Added a song to my playlist
Great upbeat funk album. I had heard many of the songs, but never listened to it as a whole. Reminds me of several iconic party songs. 2 songs added to playlist and there was only 7 songs.
Hard to get into for me. Good music, but I didn’t understand most of the words. Nothing added to my playlist.
No my thing, but catchy in a weird way. Very sleepy and depressing. Question why this is a must listen to album and so critically acclaimed. No songs added to playlist.
Classic artist and songwriter. Her voice, her lyrics, her harmonies and melodies - all beautiful. 1 song added to playlist.
Debbie Harry, the legend! Blondie is cited so often as an '80s staple that I didn't realize they began making music in the '70s. This sounds a lot more rock-oriented than I expected, it makes me wish we'd get some other, older Blondie records on the list. 2 songs ad d to playlist.
I enjoyed it. Don’t agree White Stripe deserves 2 albums in top 1000. I’d pick this one over Get behind me Satan. Probably suffered in rating by being second White Stripe album in 2 weeks. Added a song to my playlist.
King Louie. Tell you man cub, irresistible and infectious swing. Learned about social significance, because showed up on my list. 3 songs added to playlist.
Just ok. Our House, obviously a terrific song. The rest of it? What am I even listening to. 0 songs added to playlist
Nothing wrong with it but just meh. Very doesn’t belong on a must listen to list. 0 songs added to playlist
I’m a heavy metal and crooners fan. This album is first Black Sabbath and first heavy metal album. 3 of 5 songs added to playlist and album added to my library.
Such a great album. Funky classic soul. 2 songs added to playlist
Beautiful. So much soul with a unique take on soulful jazz vocals. 1 song added to playlist.
Not special. Generic. Okay for background music, especially at over 2 hours. 0 songs added to playlist.
Sultans of Swing is fantastic and the rest are good.
An album that I’m SUPPOSE to love, but I don't. I appreciate Patti Smith and her lyrics and voice and that she was groundbreaking in the punk scene, so I feel like I must give it a 3, but all I really want to hear from her is Because the Night and Dancing Barefoot.
Iconic band and my favorite Beatles albums. 2 songs added to playlist.
Good, but no great jazzed. I enjoyed, but not sure why it is top 1000. Good as background music. 0 songs added to playlist.
Never heard of it. Wiki says “single continuous composition—partially written as a ballet—divided into four tracks and six movements.” I’m excited to listen. It did not disappoint. I want a lounge with a martini to listen to this album. 0 songs added to playlist as it should be listed to all together.
Nothing wrong with this album, but I don’t understand why this album should be considered an album to which you have to listen. 0 songs added to playlist.
What a masterpiece, I can't believe that I hadn't listened to the whole thing before now. 2 songs added to playlist.
Classic, good reminder of an album I once enjoyed that somehow got lost. Timeless songwriting and production value that still holds up. Still dropping to a 4, because of personal preference. 1 song made it to a playlist.
I get this was an influential band, and their last. It is important historically, but not a great album. Maybe top 1000 album to know about, but not that has to be heard. 0 songs added to playlist.
First album produced by Quincy Jones. The album features songwriting contributions from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Rod Temperton, Tom Bahler, and David Foster, alongside three tracks penned by Jackson himself. Again more historically important than must be heard. There are better more iconic albums by Michael. 2 songs added to playlist.
Great album with many songs I liked. Prefer live music. This album also matches my preferences. Hard rock, crooners, and most recently country are my top three genres. Rock guitar and great hooks. 2 songs added to playlist.
Ziggy goes to America and has a mental break down. Again more historically important than must be heard. Ziggy Stardust is the must be heard album. 1 song added to playlist.
I don’t think there is any single album I think of when I think of Ray. However, this album was great from start to finish. A mixture of big band and piano ballads. 2 songs added to playlist
Good example of synth pop, but nothing special. No idea why this album would be must listen to music. 0 songs added to playlist.
The album is routinely ranked as one of the best live jazz recordings of all time and I understand why. Never listened to the whole album. I want a comfy lounge chair and a martini. I prefer a crooner/singer with my jazz. 0 songs added to playlist.
Great southern rock album. Another nice reminder to return to what I use to listen. 1 song added to playlist.
Incredible rap album. Loved the skits, loved the clear, colourful and story driven lyrics. Some of the lines painted pics. Was fun to listen to as a full album and get the full story. 1 song added to playlist.
A good day when a Neil Young album with Crazy Horse backing him up is selected. Many classics on here, but I’d pick and choose those songs when in the mood, not listen to the whole album. 1 song added to playlist.
Depressing goth rock. It does set and keep that mood. Another album more historically important than must listen. Not my style and too depressing lower the grade. 0 songs added to playlist
At the start I was disappointed. I wanted to like this more than I actually did and remember liking it more. Then it got better, but not great. I don’t think I ever listened to the whole album before. It is not the Gabriel album I would have chosen. 0 songs added to playlist.
Spoken word/sung jazz style brings the feel of a small jazz club to life. Relaxing and hilarious, Tom Waits nails his characterization. Would have loved to hear the recording with those in the audience. 0 songs added to playlist, but added album to favorites. It should be listened to as an album.
Southern blues rock with some great dueling guitar 🎸, giving yacht rock vibes. Makes me want to sit back, tap my foot, and chill. 1 song added to playlist.
Been a long while, since I had listened to this album. It is rare that I am in the mood to take this trip. Melancholic rock with a sad message almost at the angry stage of grief. Classic album by a classic band that takes you on a journey of how they felt. 0 songs added to playlist. Should be listened to as an album.
Another album with more historic significance than must listen. “Bowie biographers have considered it one of his most influential records, mainly noting him as among the first white musicians of the era to overtly engage with black musical styles.” It is still Bowie, but Fame and possibly Young Americans hit me today. 1.5 songs added to playlist.
Why is this on the list? Is it suppose to be a joke like Weird Al or something else from Dr Demento? Over the top, theatrical Brit pop that I thought was trying to be funny, but wasn’t. 0 songs added to playlist. Gets one extra star for not being unlistenable.
Best Ice T album. Not a big rap fan so downgraded rating. Still enjoyed listening and understand why it is on the list. 0 songs added to playlist.
Never listened to it as an album. I looked at it as the lesser follow-up album to Kid A. Loved On Life in a Glasshouse with Humphrey Lyttleton. 1 song added to playlist.
A little bit of Smiths how’s a long way and this is already the second album recommended. Seems more of a hodge podge of songs than an album that needs to be heard. 0 songs added to playlist.
It's country, turned into pop, jazz, soul, big band, … before it was cool to do it: Rawhide! Love it, but oddly hard to find so I could listen to it. Can’t add to playlist, but very happy I was reminded of it.
Had not listened to the album. Had heard of X and listened to some of the songs. Catchy punk rock infused with other styles. I enjoyed the switching singers and change of style between songs. 1 song added to playlist
New to me. Enjoyed as background music, especially the variety. Would not have guessed this was an album and not sure why it is. Also not sure why it is in the top 1000. 0 songs added to playlist.
Have listened to songs before, but new as an album to me. I didn't realize how much of this was written by Bowie. Not quite as good as The Idiot. 0 songs added to playlist but thoroughly enjoyed.
Classic. Upbeat, infectious, feel good, pop-rock that has stood the test of time. 0 songs added to playlist but favorites the album.
Great example of 90s alt-rock. Not sure if it is their best version, historically important, or deserves a place on the list. Enjoyed it even though it is not my preferred style. 0 songs added to playlist.
First time listening to album. First time I remember listening to Wilco at all. Some good songs, but album is a little too long. While I enjoyed in general No idea why it is a must listen.l, but not bad. 0 songs
First time listening to the album and band. Hard alternative electric rock that I enjoyed. I would not put on my top 1000. 1 song secretly added to my playlist.
Grandiose indie rock. First full listen to any Arcade Fire album before. I quite liked it and get why it should be heard. Good energy and vibe throughout.
Great album! A must have on the list and a must listen. Favorites the whole album
Great salsa album. Only flaw is my inability to speak Spanish.
Weird album, very psychedelic and different for 70’s pop/rock. 3/5 because I can appreciate the originality but probably won’t listen again.
Live Jazz. Performed by a legend. An iconic location. Check! Check! Check! Could it get better?
Yes! I’m sitting poolside with the love of my life of over 20+ years and she is going to get me a beer.
Never heard of album or band before. More historically significant than must listen. Not one of my preferred styles either. The siren start to Super Unison made me look at my phone to see if this was a test or real emergency. 0 songs added to playlist.
My short coming, but not being able to understand the lyrics lowers it for me. Additionally, too psychedelic & artistic for me. 0 songs added to playlist.
Yes!!! Thanks for sending on a Friday. Classic album by classic band. Had been a while since I listened to album as a whole.
I had never listened to a Kanye West album before. I really only knew him as the buffoon who married a Kardashian. This album is good. I am not a rap fan, so downgraded to 4.
Great album. Thanks list for the reminder. Reintroduced to Southern Swamp Rocks. One of the 13 CDs I got for a penny.
Great band. Great album. First album I ever purchased. Already favorited in my library.
U2 2.0. This is not War. Now I prefer 80’s U2, but back in the 90’s I was ready for this change. Still a good album by a great band. Downgraded to 4, because more historically important than awesome album.
First time I’m hearing band and album. Not really my genre then or now. Glad I was I introduced, but it is not something I’ll go back to. 0 songs added to playlist.
Beatles album 2. Not there best. Half the album are covers. It is still the Beatles. I am not a huge fan of the Beatles and this album contains none my favorite songs, so downgraded to 4. 0songs added to playlist.
First and last time listening to the album as a whole. Not my thing personally. I can see why it's was influential, but more historically important than need to listen to as an album. A few songs would be enough to get the message across. 0 songs added to playlist.
Country and westerner meets a crooners voice. I should really like this album. Maybe it is the day. I enjoyed listening again and have gone to Robert’s Western world to have a recession special while listening to this type of music. Today it doesn’t hold up for full album. 0 songs added to playlist. Not even El Paso.
First time listening to the album. Had heard and enjoyed several songs. It is better as an album. Has a feel like being live in a lounge. If I like rap it would be 5. 0 songs added to playlist.
Classic band. Great album even if not my favorite. The start of their arena rock sound.
