1001 Albums Summary

No one sounds like he did. So good. Great album all the way through

What a great performer. What a legend.

I understand why this album is on this list. I was not excited to listen to it, but couldn’t turn it off. I was, however, happy when it was over. I kept trying to find a phrase to describe it besides “unnecessarily dramatic”, but that just stuck in my head.

Have I been living under a rock? How have I never heard of these people. I saved half the album on the first listen. 2/3 of it by the second listen. Loved it.

I listened to this album for the first time while going on a hike. It was a perfect background. It would work well for cross country trips, and sunsets. Beautiful acoustic music. Exactly why I like this process. I don't know if I would have heard this great album another way.

I’m sorry, Kate Bush, I tried to listen to this album in the 80s, then when Stranger Things came out, and just now. I think you’re incredibly talented, but I just don’t get it. It sounds like I’m listening to the soundtrack to a Disney movie.

I understand now why people love him. He is a talented singer/songwriter. I respect him and his music. I just don't want to be involved in any way.

I made the mistake of starting this album on a drive on the LA freeway. I found myself completely deregulated, speeding, ready to yell at bad drivers. I had to turn it off and drive in silence for a while. I don’t get the appeal or significance of this album.

I am so grateful that David Bowie made music. This album had a few tracks that I thought were well ahead of their time. 'Sound & Vision' and 'Be My Wife' are obvious favorites, but I saved a few others. 'Breaking Glass' was a surprise save as well. This may not be my favorite album of his, but I will listen to any Bowie that comes on this list.

This was such a surprise. My very low expectations were met by the second track. I will listen to this again

It’s so great to hear more songs than ‘Blueberry Hill’. I loved his sound.
