1001 Albums Summary

Basically a perfect album

Inoffensive but not particularly enjoyable. I liked the use of samples and I would guess there were elements of the production that were boundary-pushing at the time.

Thought it was okay - I like the first half better than the second. Gameshow element was fun.

I liked human, not bad but nothing special

One of my all time faves

It’s a no from me dawg.

One of the best English songwriters ever!

Unfortunately, not Prince’s best

Interesting, not bad. Will probably never listen to it again.

No

An improvement for sure, fun songs!

Wasn’t bad, but didn’t stand out

Fun album, more my speed than other recent albums.

Weird, but fun! I loved the last song.

Really liked this album. Very versatile, lots of interesting songs with different styles.

Really fun album, super weird but very enjoyable. Old Pervert was hilarious

A very good album! One of my favorite bands.

Not my favorite. Mother was a terrible song.

This one was not it.

The youth against fascism song was entertaining.

This album was so much better than expected. Really enjoyed it, have a lot more respect for Ice T now

Fun one! Not the biggest Bowie fan but I enjoyed this.

Enjoyed this slightly more than the last! Some bangers, some clunkers, overall good.

I like jazz and enjoyed the album but it didn’t stick out to me and I will probably never listen to it again.

Not my type of music but wasn’t the worst of that genre.

Not my favorite but not the worst!

A lot of salsa sounds the same to me and this was pretty good but didn’t strike me as next level.

Pretty weird but in a fun way! I enjoyed and I will probably listen again

I really liked this - reminded me of a mix of John Prine’s sillier song lyric and Father John Misty’s musicality.

Not my favorite ever but the guitar is undeniable and I was impressed by the range of sounds he achieved.

I liked this one, but it was pretty long. The cover of my favorite things was very fun.

Really enjoyed this - the recording made me feel like I was there in the quiet, intimate club.

You could definitely tell that every song was the Talking Heads. I like their hits and that’s about it.

I thought it was enjoyable if not particularly memorable.

Steve could do a lot better than this.

I really wanted to like this but I didn’t find it as enjoyable as the Sarah Vaughan album we got recently. Still like Sam Cooke tho.

I liked it, interesting guy!

This was better than the last talking heads album, but still not amazing.

I liked it, but it won’t stick with me.

This album made me question if I like music.

Very meh in my opinion.

Not too shabby, a couple of pretty good songs

A very good album

Pretty good for elevator music

Pretty disappointed by this one.

🔥

I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would but I can appreciate that it’s iconic

I did not like this

It’s Britney, bitch

Deserves this rating for stairway to heaven alone

Not my favorite but it was ok

Some good, some meh

This was really not for me

There were some interesting tracks here, but not my favorite

I liked this a lot better than the other Sonic Youth album we had.

It wasn’t Ute Lemper bad, but it wasn’t good

I was not familiar with this album but hot damn it was good

Some very solid tunes

I liked this better than America’s most wanted, but still not amazing.

Not bad, but not my fav.

Maybe the best album I have discovered through this process

Did not grab me

I forgot this album as I was listening to it

Nothing special

Last song absolutely tanked this one for me

Never heard anything by them before, very pleasantly surprised!

It was a marathon, not a sprint, but it was worth it!

Really liked the instrumental track

Aqualung didn’t really do it for me.

3 for respect alone

It boggles the mind that people enjoy this

Pretty alright

Improved in the second half and had some nice tunes

Incredible voice, good album

Really fun guitar, greensleeves cover was sick

Not my kind of music, not bad though

I liked this a lot! 25 minutes to go was great

I recognize this was very good, it just didn’t grab me

Just not for me

We were approaching Ute Lemper territory, but didn’t quite get there. The rat men was a hilarious song

There is a reason I only knew one a-ha song before this. Living a Boy’s Adventure Tale sucked.

Not bad, but not good

Tombstone Blues was new to me, very good!

“We have Beatles at home”

These seeds sure were bad

I really enjoyed this one

Really fun album!

Some absolute classics

Checked multiple times to see if album was ending soon

Not bad but not his best

Fun classic country

Some great classics, but also a little more country-ish than I expected.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I would rather listen to Crosby Stills and Nash

🤮

Perfectly good background music

Pretty weird 2nd half, definitely not my favorite Bowie

Pleasantly surprised, definitely enjoyed this one

Pretty forgettable

Sadly I think I’m just not a sonic youth fan

Nice easy listening for me, but entirely unmemorable

One of my absolute favorite albums - so many great high school memories listening to these songs. A wide range of genres and influences, truly a work of art.

Surprised by how many songs I knew/liked

Surprised I had never heard of them - enjoyed it

Even the worst Beatles album is a solid album

Meh, not bad but not anything that really grabbed me

Really enjoyed this one

A full album of the beastie boys is just too grating to me - their flow and voices just bother me, kinda like eminem

This ain’t it

Some classic Steely Dan tracks with some good deep cuts mixed in

A much stronger first half than back half, but some absolute bangers. The sampling work is amazing

Okay but not my favorite

High highs and low lows - better than sign of the times in my opinion

I liked this better than the beastie boys but still not the most amazing thing

Idk what they were going for, but they missed it

This album was so much better than my already high expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed it, especially some of the songs in the middle I wasn’t already familiar with

Admittedly I didn’t give this one a very fair shot. I can’t get over their stupid Americana while being a Canadian band

Iconic album, read about the development and it’s very intriguing. Sadly the actual music didn’t super connect with me, though there are some banger songs and no total misses.

Really love this album - such a talented artist who burned out so quickly

Some really good hits, but there’s a reason I have never heard the non-hits

Not really my thing but interesting and unique

Not my favorite, but some good songs

Doesn’t differentiate itself from generic rock imo. Not bad but not super memorable

I did not like this

Liked the first song, the rest were interesting in the Minnesotan sense

Some good songs, but nothing mindblowing

It seemed like they didn’t care whether I liked the music or not, and that only made me like it more

Had no Idea meat loaf was such a theater kid - pretty camp but highly entertaining

Did I think this was cool? Yes. Do I recognize that this took a lot of skill and mastery? Yes. Did I enjoy listening to this? No.

I somehow liked this more and less than I thought I would

I just do not like deep purple

Not too bad

Not for me at all

I didn’t like it, but not because it was bad. It’s just not my style. Also some of the lyrics were silly.

I liked the stories and the songs were musically appealing. RIP

Not that I hated the album, but why was it on this list? Totally unremarkable, I could’ve died without listening to this album.

Fun album, nothing special but enjoyable

I liked it, for not having heard much by him

Not bad enough to be a 1, not good enough to be a 3

These seeds are just too bad for me

Better than expected but just not my genre

Really nice background music. I enjoyed trying to translate some of the lyrics

Very surprised how much I liked this one!

Was gonna be a 2 but then got real weird at the end.

I started off liking it but then it kinda blended together and I just couldn’t get into it

I assume this album made the list solely because of its likelihood to actually cause death in the listener and therefore making it THE album they had to listen to before they died.

Definitely enjoyed this album! Stronger front half than back half

Some really good tracks on this album, liked it better than the wall

Pretty funky - I like Schzoid man

It was fine but pretty boring

He’s not my favorite but it was a fun album and has some classic songs

A different, less-upbeat side of Stevie Wonder I had not heard before. Very nice

I would never pick this to listen to (just not my style), but it was a good listening experience and seems like some of the best the genre has to offer

I just cannot get into the Byrds

I like this artist but this album was a miss for me - just really forgettable

Good not great - I wouldn’t choose to listen to this genre

Disc 1 is definitely stronger than Disc 2, but this album is incredible. The boys were cooking with this one and it has two of my all time favorite Beatles songs on it. Truly in their bag.

Some good, some bad. Not too shabby

I hope there is no more sonic youth

Ramble On is a personal favorite

Didn’t really understand this one

I don’t care for the cure

Cool idea but not my thing and songs were too long

Not bad but wouldn’t listen by choice

Did not enjoy but was at least music

Started off strong and then went downhill

Solid album

Good album, a couple great songs

Pretty good but not terribly memorable

Love the first and last tracks - saved outlaw blues because I had never heard it before

This one was not good
