1001 Albums Summary

Nina Simone's voice and piano add strength to the content of her lyrics. Her song "Four Women" are still relevant in these times, especially given the right-wing blow back to any person of color assertion of their self identity.

Love this album! "Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage!" Who hasn't felt that angst in their own life?

Being from Chicago I was fortunate to have WXRT as the radio on which I kept my dial set. This station to only played classic rock music from the 60's and 70's, but as the years went on, they would play new and emerging music. I became aware of the Pixies by listening to 'XRT and from the music my son liked as well.

What can I say that hasn't already be said? Jimi was the best rock and roll guitarist ever. This third album from Jimi Hendrix Experience is exceptional.

In my opinion, Elton John’s first 3 albums were the best! Every song on this classic piece of rock is terrific.

Although not usually a fan of country-western music, Marty Robbins iconic songs "El Paso" and "Cool Water" were popular when I was a child. This album was released when I was five years old, and although we weren't a musical family, the radio station my mom had on during the day would occasionally feature some of these songs.

Although this is a without a doubt a great album, this current lineup was not my favorite. I became a fan of Fleetwood Mac in 1971 when I heard "Future Games" when I was a junior in high school. This led me look back and learn about the original line-up with Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer. So for me, my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums are "Future Games, Bare Trees", and "Mystery to Me." And I think it's a shame that Bob Welsh was included when the group was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

After 50 years, this album still holds up.

I thought the production of this album was good. However, I'm not a big fan of this genre. But for those who enjoy this music, this is something they would enjoy.

I enjoyed the production value of this album. This was a new genre, but I am excited to hear more.

This first album from the Police came out when I was 25 years old. It is a classic and still holds up well.

The King at his best!

I only liked one track from this LP. This genre doesn't appeal to me.

This is one of the all-time greatest albums by The Who. I have had this album in my collection of vinyl and compact discs since it was released in 1971. It is a classic and every track of this album is fanatastic.

Enjoyed this classic soul LP. Great musical harmonies backed up by a kick ass band.

I had never heard of this group and I can't figure out why not. Eclectic and electric with unexpected lyrics. I found the very interesting.

I was a fan of R.E.M. during the 1980’s. The songs were catchy and the albums were well produced. I think of it now as pop music with a conscience.

I found this to be surprisingly entertaining.
