1001 Albums Summary

(7/7) Obviously some good stuff on here. Love that rock organ!

(6/7) My my hey hey, this one really rocked!

(6/7) If this album isn't proof that therapy works, I dont know what is.

(5/7) I always thought these were fun!

(3/7) The slow jazz ballads really lost me

(3/7) meh

(7/7) It must've been crazy when this came out

(4/7) A few good ones on here, but the second half feels like one loud, extended guitar solo

(3/7) appropriately begins with "Being Boring" and doesn't get more interesting after that

(4/7) "Teenage Riot" then a lot of crunchy guitar

(3/7) Too loud

(2/7) if you're looking for something to sing along with I'd recommend skipping this one

(5/7) this rocks. no standouts but pretty consistently average or better

(5/7) we've had a lot of similar vibes recently but still fun

(2/7) makes me want to commit a crime

(5/7) very smooth

(5/7) maybe this was "cool" when it came out but today it comes across dorky but in a sort of endearing way

(4/7) some good ones but today feels a little "generic 60s"

(4/7) the music is fine. but after all his effort and research, did he really not come across the proper spelling of "Illinois"? and what's with these song titles that are so long they don't even fit in the space allotted on spotify? I wanted to listen to music, not read a book. next time, let's keep song titles to 140 characters and the album length to 45 minutes

(4/7) some normal stuff, some weird stuff, overall fairly listenable

(2/7) I felt like I called customer support and was placed on hold for 45 minutes

(1/7) this guy should play at the super bowl or something

(6/7) sad girl sings nice

(3/7) mid

(5/7) some real bangers on here but you have to be in the right mood

(1/7) maybe it sounds better if you're stoned?

(5/7) good for a rage run, probably my favorite metal so far

(6/7) cheery and delightful god did save "strawberry jam and all the different varieties". the jelly aisle these days is insane

(5/7) hard (but not too hard) rock

(4/7) a little too funky for my general lifestyle

(4/7) I never really listened to this dude before but I suppose he's ok

(7/7) never listened to this before. awesome stuff. not a dull moment

(3/7) no consistent vibes

(4/7) the good stuff is good

(5/7) I think a lot of these songs get overplayed. But still it's a lot of good stuff on one album

(6/7) sweet and intimate

(5/7) fuel for my rebellious streak

(4/7) "Alright" indeed

(7/7) I forgot how good this was

(3/7) too weird for a Saturday

(5/7) sad girl plays piano

(4/7) dude forgot to write the words

(5/7) I l liked the jams more than I thought I would

(4/7) nothing especially good, nothing especially bad

(3/7) music for retail shopping in a store that sells weird clothes

(6/7) she got soul

(5/7) i'm not sure where this lies in his chronology but I assume it's after he was famous enough he could get away with weird stuff

(2/7) I don't see how this can be a "must listen"

(4/7) once we got to the top of the hill things started to get weird real fast

(3/7) sounds like the background of a strange dream

(5/7) apparently recorded in Ringo's house

(4/7) a seemingly deliberate attempt to create "art" that no one asked for

(6/7) they used to play Van Morrison on the intercom at the beginning of the day in high school so this music reminds me of feeling tired and walking zombie-like to class

(4/7) c'mon dude you can do better

(3/7) unremarkable

(7/7) the beginning of the Beatles' ascent into the astral plane of music

(4/7) is this representative of female vocalists before singer/songwriters became the norm?

(4/7) liked the instant Halloween vibes at the beginning but skews a little too jam heavy for me

(5/7) when they rock they rock a little hard for me but I like when they mellow out

(2/7) songs feel long and arduous

(6/7) bold and soulful, but the spoken word section really slowed the momentum on my run

(4/7) as average as could be

(6/7) these guys sound like they have a lot of fun

(4/7) it's fine

(4/7) a lot of stuff on here. a few good, and the rest fairly average

(4/7) another long (but largely synthesizer-free) 80s journey

(7/7) smooth and cheerful

(3/7) not really my vibe. Many of the songs feel like they loop over and over and over again

(7/7) I knew "School's Out" was epic, but the rest of the album is much more eclectic than I expected

(5/7) as musical as speaking can get

(2/7) a lot of 80s new wave recently, this not as good as recent selections, nor among the best of The Cure

(4/7) liked it more than I thought I would

(7/7) I've been a fan of these guys since I Shazamed "Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying" at a hair salon in Nashville 10 years ago

(4/7) they groove pretty strong but sometimes longer than my attention span

(1/7) some of the beats were fine but the rapping added very little

(7/7) not sure how he got involved with the symphony orchestra but it seemed to work out

(4/7) I was having fun but that long, slow one in the middle lost me

(5/7) unexpectedly bold and artsy; surprisingly complex; not easy listening but interesting listening

(4/7) whoever sings has a little too much screech in his voice. other than the 20 minute space opera this was pretty typical fare

(1/7) sounds like RFK did the vocals on every track

(4/7) definitely a change of pace, but still too weird for easy listening, and not a lot of variety

(7/7) 31 minutes of jangly bliss

(4/7) some fun stuff and some strange stuff

(5/7) jazz means long songs with no words

(7/7) unique, almost haunting at times

(4/7) uncontroversial music for generic restaurants and elevators

(3/7) thought it was going to be worse but not too painful, better when they're not singing

(4/7) 1 or 2 good ones but the rest is fairly unremarkable. don't know where they found the saxophone

(5/7) some good stuff, some too experimental

(7/7) some very creative instrumentation, at times; the hits are excellent and the rest of the content is strong

(5/7) fun stuff

(4/7) pleasant

(4/7) more 80s

(3/7) unremarkable (but not unplesant)

(5/7) groovin'

(2/7) a series of noises ranging from annoying to unpleasant

(4/7) fine for my run but could do without the long instrumentals

(5/7) maybe I was in a good mood but this is some of the better jazz we've listened to, methinks

(4/7) some surprisingly good stuff on here but also a high dose of strangeness

(1/7) without a doubt one of the dumbest things I have ever listened to

(5/7) surprisingly kind of fun

(4/7) more enjoyable than expected, despite many weird percussive noises

(4/7) I'd seen this guy's name before but always assumed he was Korean

(4/7) idk if this was cool when it came out but it feels dorky today

(7/7) strong (but I could still do without the slow ones)

(4/7) hey ho let's go

(3/7) sometimes pleasant but never for very long

(7/7) soulful

(7/7) bold and artsy

(4/7) fun overall but "Killer Queen" is the only thing that stood out

(4/7) really not as bad as the screeching sound at the beginning led me to expect

(7/7) a little long and jam heavy but the good moments are astounding

(3/7) didn't really speak to me

(4/7) average 60s

(5/7) kind of fun. I liked the instrumentation, especially on "Know Your Product"

(7/7) nice stuff, not at all like what I've come to expect from the 80s

(6/7) fun stuff

(3/7) some of it sounded like French

(4/7) that janis sure can wail

(5/7) very cool

(5/7) some of these sounded familiar. the acoustic style feels very modern - more reminiscient of the 2010s than the 90s

(5/7) kind of vibe-y. Sometimes strange but sometimes very pleasant

(4/7) some of this is fun

(4/7) sounds like an Irish pub

(2/7) music for a long and arduous run

(5/7) a few good ones and then some noise

(3/7) I don't get the obsession with Lynyrd Skynyrd

(3/7) didn't move me

(7/7) I've always thought Mark Knopfler was the best guitarist that people never really seem to talk about

(4/7) I knew a couple of these, not sure from where

(4/7) fairly listenable

(4/7) bold and funky

(6/7) some strong stuff on here

(4/7) good music for a pool party

(7/7) simple and folksy

(4/7) some strong stuff at the beginning but became more generic 80s about halfway through

(4/7) could be worse

(5/7) lots of energy and drive

(4/7) unclear at which point they finished tuning and the music began

(7/7) finally some decent jazz

(4/7) kind of fun

(5/7) fun for a run

(4/7) I think the singles are strong but the rest of this feels like someone wailing over a soup of distorted guitars

(4/7) I didn't know these guys were as famous as they seem to be

(3/7) music that gets better the louder it is played

(5/7) gloomy

(5/7) glad she found a band

(5/7) fairly interesting stuff

(5/7) punk with a brass section, fun stuff

(7/7) as good as mac 'n cheese

(7/7) so wistful

(2/7) I don't really see the difference between this and all that avant-garde jazz

(3/7) more mid synthesizer music

(5/7) was negatively disposed towards this as "whatever Courtney Love did" but actually found it quite enjoyable

(3/7) too noisy

(2/7) I'm fine if people want to make experimental music or whatever but does it have to go on so long

(4/7) generic brand Weezer

(5/7) sounds like "critically acclaimed 2000s rock"

(4/7) a respectable balance of pleasant and unusual

(4/7) pretty much what I expected

(4/7) "girl from ipanema" is classic

(4/7) like the beastie boys but angrier

(3/7) I don't like the guy's voice but didn't think about it long enough to figure out why

(4/7) not super memorable but at least it was short

(6/7) seems like it could be the beginning of something big

(6/7) he indeed rambles a little, but very nice overall

(1/7) tough to make it all the way through

(7/7) unexpectedly awesome

(3/7) sounds kind of like French

(4/7) they're better when they're acoustic

(4/7) this must be what a bayou sounds like

(5/7) they have "the funk" indeed

(5/7) grungy

(4/7) good energy

(3/7) I wonder if we'll ever get to listen to his normal stuff

(4/7) it's jazz

(4/7) in the process of listening to this I forgot that I was listening to this, which I guess was the goal

(4/7) good stuff, reminds me of Ramones

(7/7) pretty close to perfect

(5/7) I thought this was pretty good for hip hop

(5/7) great stuff

(5/7) rockin'

(4/7) the sounds of Brazil

(6/7) groovin'

(4/7) wasn't enthusiastic about listening to this but it was ok

(4/7] I think some of this is nice, but the moaning is really self-indulgent and it's too long and meandering

(4/7) sounds Iike jazz

(5/7) a man with soul

(5/7) kind of liked it

(4/7) a few good ones

(4/7) it's like the background music for a futuristic racing video game

(4/7) reminds me of Eliot Smith

(5/7) groovin', songs are really long

(5/7) some cool sounds, kind of Celtic/medieval

(2/7) it's not the worst thing in the world. I just don't understand when anyone would listen to this. In the car? On a run? Please let me know

(5/7) I thought 1999 was the better album

(2/7) it's a pretty heavy dose of a style of music in which many of the tracks sound indistinguishable to my admittedly untrained ears

(1/7) I just thought this whole thing was stupid

(4/7) I thought this started pretty strong and then kind of faded fast. Interesting stuff though

(7/7) I suppose this is why they call him "the boss"

(6/7) surprisingly fun and not too cheesy

(3/7) I liked the first few but the rest of this is noisy, reminds me of Sonic Youth

(7/7) I didn't know these guys had a concept album phase that seems to be largely forgotten/neglected

(4/7) certainly representative of a brand of 2000s rock

(7/7) did not know she recorded 49 studio albums and wrote over 3,000 songs. Rest in peace Dolly

(2/7) I appreciate that they kept it short

(4/7) a little too deliberately artsy for me

(7/7) some awesome stuff; very distinctive

(3/7) not really my vibe
