1001 Albums Summary

Great album. 7.5 out of 10.

Absolutely GREAT!! 8.5 OUT OF 10.

Good but sounds the same throughout.

Very Good. Highlights of the album: Rocky Raccoon Back in the USSR Ob-La-De... 8.75/10

Solid front to back. 8/10 Top songs Dazed and Confused Black Mountain Slide How Many More Times

8.75 fantastic album! Best songs Chain of fools Natural women Come back baby

Not my favorite. 5.5/10 Best songs Smoke on the water Highway star

Great beginning but drags on. 7/10 Best songs Son of sam Somebody I used to know Everything reminds me of her

I understand why it was popular as it was a completely new sound for the time it came out. However, it is not something I would voluntarily listen to again. No real top songs. 4.5/10

My wife walked in and said "what the hell are you listening to?"during the first track. Very dissident style of music. Very progressive for the time frame and probably did help other bands find their voice. I liked it more and more I listened to it. Top songs Ab/7a Weeping 4.5/10

Would be good if you were sitting at a coffee shop somewhere. Pretty average. 6/10 Top songs: Don't know why Lonestar Come away with me Nightengale

Very Queen album. They are one of the best harmonizers ever to play. It is good, but I probably will not listen to it again after today. 6.5/10 Top songs The loser in the end The march of the black queen

Great album. Huge Miles Davis fan. Very relaxing for a weekend morning. 7.5/10

Just a person trying to change as many octaves as she can for 36 minutes. Ugh will never listen to this one again. 2/10 (and that is me being nice)

Very average album. I like S&G but not this one. Highlights... Mrs Robinson America 4.5/10

One of my favorite albums so far (15 albums in). A great bridge between the late 70s and the earlier 80s. I will definitely listen to this one again. 8.0/10. Top songs: All of them

All the songs are great on this one. Second only to Sam Cooke. 8.5/10 Favorite song I've been loving you too long

90s nostalgia. I am honestly surprised I didn't own this album in 1996. It is fine, but nothing special 5.5/10

I am probably on an island here, but this album is great. There are so many great songs and if I was a goth kid in the early 90s, I would have eaten this up. Still my favorite cure album of all time. Best listen if you have some old school headphones. 8.1/10 Favorite song Lovesong But don't sleep on pictures of you or any of the other classics on this album.

Haunting voice and overall ambience. I didn't hate it but didn't love it either. 4.5/10 Top song Just like the rain

I mean what the hell do you say about this? When this was released was this what Don McLean was talking about? I remember when this album took over TRL, and you could tell the music we loved was over. I can't give this album a 1 because of its cultural significance. So 3.5/10 seems generous enough. Top song Ummmm I guess... baby one more time

Smart, tight and all 90s rap! Reminds me a lot of A Tribe Called Quest. I would definetly listen to this again. Also the amount of sampling is on a beastie boys level. 8/10 Favorite song A day at the races

Lauryn, Wycleaf, and Praz are masterful on this one. Not much else to say. 8.75/10 Top song Sucker for the cover of no woman no cry.

Where to begin? They are very talented, but it feels really disjointed. I think I was a tad too late to the hair metal scene and I wished I liked this more. 7.25/10 Top song On Fire

I am not sure how you can scream like that and not lose your voice. The music is not bad, but I can't handle that type of screaming. 4.25/10 Favorite song Jasco Itsari

David Bowie is a huge influence on most the bands I listen to do I enjoyed this album. The only song I really know was heroes but the rest was OK. 6.5/10 seems fair. Best song Heroes (obviously)

Such a fun/great album. So much fun to listen to. This is right on the border between a 4 or 5 for me. 7.5/10 Top song Help me Rhonda

One of my favorite albums from my youth. Listened to this multiple times during and it still is good today. 8.75/10 Top song... Gonna make you love me

Bringing back early 2000s vibe. Hard to believe this album is over 20 years old! There are some great songs on this one. 7.75/10 Top song Rebillion

This is a solid late 80s/early 90s album. I have never listened to the Depeche Mode much and I knew more songs on this one than I thought. 7.0/10 Top song Enjoy the Silence

Classic voice, Classic Album. 9.25/10 Top song You Make Me Feel So Young

She has talent, no doubt. Just not my demographic. Tried to listen to it two times through, but couldn't make it the second time. 4.3/5 Top song Dance or die

I listened to the link which was the UK version and really enjoyed it. The US version has paint it black on it, but I liked the UK version better. 7/10 for us, 9/10 for UK. So I guess 8/10

I cannot believe I have never listened to this before. Very good relaxing music and the songs are fun to relax to. 7.5/10 Top song Over the hill

Interesting listen. I really liked a couple of songs, but the other songs were very odd. I like some of the talking heads songs, but his voice wears on me for a whole album. 5.5/10 Top song I Zimbra

What to say about Elvis??? His music is about as important as Britney Spears was detrimental to what we hear now. Did he or his agent steal black music to make money off of it, most likely. But he is a very significant person to the sixties and seventies sound Solid album. 7.5/10 Top song Just because

Average 90s techno. That is all. 3.5/10 Top song I guess... Jacques your body makes me sweat

I have never listened to a whole Black Sabbath album before and actually really enjoyed this one. I had no idea they were the ones who originally performed the song "changes". 8/10 Top song Supernaut

I just don't get it or I am not very cool. Probably more of the second one. The guitar playing is really good but I can't get past Steven Tyler's voice. Feels like the same song over and over again. 4.5/10 Top song Young lust

Classic Bruce album. Raw and stripped down. There are a ton of good songs on this album. 7.75/10 Top song Atlantic city

It is fine. Nothing special and sounds like a lot of other albums being released at that time. 5/10 Top song Drunkship of lanterns

Great rock album. Not sure the first song is appropriate for Easter morning, but every song was a fun listen. 8.25/10 Top song Highway to hell (again I feel I need to mention Easter morning)

Good listen. Really enjoyed about half of these songs, the other half was meh. 6.75/10 Top song Suspicious Minds (followed closely by wearin' that loved look on)

90s brit pop at its finest. I like a, lot of their music, but had not heard a ton of this one before. 7/10. Top song Advert

I actually really liked this one. First half was a bit slow but the second half was great! 8.5/10 Top song Dub latina

Meh. Very British and very 80s. 2.5/10 Top song Dear god

I liked this one. It has a cool vibe and the music itself is pretty good. 7.5/10 Top song Al hassidi terei

The older I get the more I like this album. She has an outstanding voice. It has a raw feeling of the early 70s. 8.25/10 Top song Son of a preacher man (duh)

Started out as an oasis want to be ended with a psychedelic mind bend. Listened to it while cutting down tree limbs which heightened the experience. 6.75/10 Top song Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space

I love the kinks. My dad used to call them the poor man's Beatles, but honestly they are a top notch band on their own!!! 8/10 Top song Picture book

I DID IT!!! You can start a speakeasy and play this entire album and it would be awesome! Her voice is iconic. Just because of the length it is not getting a top score, but if this was 40 minutes long it would be a top album for me. 6.75/10 Top song My cousin in Milwaukee

This was an interesting listen especially on YouTube since it is not in Spotify. I honestly didn't mind a couple of the songs, but that was it. Also very interesting with the medical commercials and others after every song. 4.5/10 Top song I see darkness

Dad had this record when I was a kid and we listened to it a ton. Brings back a ton of memories. Top song Jemima surrender

One of the best of the 2000s. I love most of these songs. 9.25/10 Top songs Someday

Always enjoy a kinks album, but not as much as the first one we had. Still a solid album. 7/10 Top song Waterloo sunset

The doors sound is way ahead of its time. The ability to have a blues/rock sound at that time period is unbelievable. Love me some Doors. 8/10 Top song Roadhouse Blues

Very English, but I find it enjoyable as decent background music. Probably will not listen to it again. 6/10 Top song Waterfall

Very average album. Some of the songs are great, others put me asleep. 4.5/10 Top song Sledgehammer

An amazing voice, probably the best of her generation. She has the ability to put her soul into every song. 8/10 Top song Million years ago

Ten years ahead of its time. I actually kind of enjoyed this one. Fun listen. 6.5/10 Top song Requiem

A great blues sound that is an addictive listen. Will definitely listen to this again. 8.5/10 Top song Mannish boy

Absolute must listen with headphones. Prog rock is not something I usually listen to but enjoyed this one. 7.25/10 Top song A Passage to Bangkok

Classic album cover, classic songs. Nico and Lou Reed do a great job of setting up a crazy experience. A lot of drugs make for some crazy songs. Heroin is an amazing trip of someone who knows what it is like to be on major drugs. 7.9/10 Top song Run Run Run

19 year old me loved this album. 46 year old me thought it was OK. Sounded the same especially towards the end. 7.75/10 Top song Otherside

They can play no doubt about it. Other than "One" , this entire album sounds the same. It could be a Miles Davis style hard rock album. I respect the game, but just average to me. 6/10 Top song One

It is fine. One of the top albums of all time? No, probably not even one of the top 1,000 albums of all time. Maybe the 1001st? 5/10 Top song (they all sound similar) further on

Fun listen. I will not revisit this whole album, but there are some solid songs on here. It is a very good late 1980s hip hop album. 7.75/10 Top song Eye know

I listened to this album a ton when I was a kid. It is solid Neil young album of what looks like many more to come. 7.75/10 Top song The losing end

80s musak!!! It is over produced, but Robbie Williams does not exist without this guy. So it is good enough for me. 6.5/10 Top song Faith

Psyadelic rock. I thought Hey Joe was an original song by Jimi Hendrix obviously I was mistaken. It is an ok album but nothing earth shattering. 5.25/10 Top song Mr. Spaceman

Smoooooooooooooooooth. I thought this was going to be Jimmie's Chicken Shack, but turned out to be something different. This is a very relaxing album. I enjoyed this as background music and the saxophone player is a beast. Did I mention this is smooth. Really enjoyed it. 7.5/10 Favorite song I dunno, the first one???

You know that girl you dated who was a little crazy but a lot of fun. Then you break up with her and all hell breaks loose. She burns your cat and leaves you weird messages on the answering machine until one day you wake up and find her sitting on the edge of your bed with a knife. This is that as an album. 6/10 Top song Under the table

This is why I am here. To listen to something I have never heard before. Very solid and different throughout. I have can hear so many indie and alternative bands that have heard something in this band and added it to their own songs. 8.25/10 Top song Cohesion

It is a good album, but I would not call it great. There are some classic songs on there, just not a great album from front to back. 7.75/10 Top song Paradise city

You know who is bad, me listening to this album. It has some great songs on it, but also some very mediocre songs. I have become more of a Michael Jackson fan the older I have become. 7/10 Top song The way you make me feel

Meh, it is just that. It is not the worst thing I have heard on this list, but very far from the best. Not sure twenty years from now this would even sniff a top 1001 album list. Nevertheless I made it through. 4/10 Top song Stillness is the move

Some decent songs on here and some really weird/drugged out songs. What the hell was the last song even about? 5/10 Top song I Had To Much To Dream

It is fine. Relaxing 70s soul album. 6/10 Top song City, country, city

I mean it is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. But not great either 4/10 Top song Stolen car

Amazing Iggy is still alive. I always liked this album. Obviously track three is weird and a nod to the Velvet Underground. This is one of the founding albums for punk rock. 6.25/10 Top song No fun

It is the beginning of Ska. I think we didn't really need a beginning of Ska. 4/10 Top song A message to you Rudy

Great vibe on this album. I enjoyed this and it was better than I expected. 7/10 Top song Stir it up

Same sappy country love song for 30 minutes. His voice is solid, but that is about it. 3/10 Top song The weatherman

How did this album make the list?Very below average and I will not listen to this again. 2/10 Top song Up with people

This album was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I only knew supertramp by name but not much of their music. Prog rock is tricky and this was a great version of it. 8/10 Top song Dreamer

Very scattered listening to this album. It reminds me of someone trying to find their voice after being part of a major band. 5/10 Top song Maybe I'm amazed

It is fine. I remember when this came out and there were so many rave reviews. I was not a fan then, and I am still not a fan. 4/10 Top song Zebra

It is samba and Jazz in one!!! It is a good background album while I was grading exams. 6/10 seems fair. Top song The first one... Desafinado

It is an REM album. What else can you say? It is fine, but not great. 6.5/10 Top song The one I love

This was a good if not long listen. You can see how bands like the white stripes got their influence from these guys. Solid album. 8.25/10 Top song Trampled under foot

Great background music if you are into that sort of thing. I listened to this while doing a crossword puzzle and it was very cool and relaxing. 6.5/10 Top song Dreddoverboard

Fun album from the 90s. Brought back a ton of memories. I will listen to this again. 8.5/10 Top song Smack my bitch up

Based on what I listen to I should love this album, but I just don't. I appreciate they are responsible for the sound of a ton of indie bands today, but I am just not a fan. 4.25/10 Top song Debaser

This is shit. 1/10 Top song None

This album is the definition of cool just like peeing your pants. He had a way of making you feel his music and I am all for it. 8.5/10 Top song Bitches Brew

This is fine. The more important thing is he had 21 children. 4.5/10 Top song Cry to me

Made it through. Very repetitive but it was not the worst thing I have heard. Looking at you frank zappa. 5/10 Top song Angel (because it was the shortest track)

Not bad for country from the mid 80s. I didn't hate it. 6/10 Top song Guitar town

This is a great album! These guys are beyond talented and I really enjoyed this one. 9/10 Top song Diminuendo and crescendo in blue

I didn't hate this. It was a fun listen while I was walking. Do I think it is one of the top albums of all time? No. However it is better than some of the other crap I have had to listen to. 6.5/10 Top song Amazon

I was amazed how many songs I knew off this album. I liked it and his voice is fantastic! However, I am not a seagall. 7.75/10 Top song Bad company (of course!)

Great album. Always a fan of these guys and this album is one of their top efforts. 8.75/10 Top song Revelry

He is nuts. But man this is a bad ass album. I had a lot of fun listening to this. 8/10 just because of past transgressions. Top song We don't care

2nd David Bowie out of 9. I understand he was ahead of his time, but not my favorite. 6/10 Top song Fame

A mix between the doors and velvet underground that never got laid. 4/10 Top song Roadrunner

Probably the worst Beatles album, but still better than 50% off the stuff I have listened to so far. 8/10 Top song All my loving

Interesting mix of blues and punk. Didn't hate it but wasn't my favorite either. 7.25/10 Top song Sex beat

Great album! Have listened to this a ton over the years. 9/10 Top song Old man

I liked this album more than I thought I would. Fun listen! 7/10 Top song Plenty nonsense

Solid album. Not my favorite by them, but solid nonetheless. Top song Keep the car running

Just another prog rock album. Rush does it better. 4/10 Top song Yours is no disgrace

Very very bad. Maybe two songs on here I actually could listen to again. The Britney Spears of Nu Metal. 3.5/10 Top song Got the life

Just there, neither great or bad. Honestly Morrissey's voice is probably the worst thing of this album. 5/10 Top song The joke isn't funny anymore

Very 80s. His voice is OK and the music has not held up well. 4.5/10 Top song Infected

I really enjoyed this album. Techno German late 70s, what is not to love! 7.75/10 Top song Franz Schubert

Second MIA album and I like this one less than arular despite it having paper planes on it. 4.5/10 Top song Paper planes

My favorite Bowie album and the third one we have had to listen to so far. This is the pinnacle of the early 70s. 9/10 Top song Suffragette city

What I expected from Belle and Sebastian. I like some of their music but this album was just average at best. 4.5/10 Top song Expectations

Poor man's Rolling Stones. However I enjoyed this and liked many songs. 7.5/10 Top song 32-20

Never listened to them before and it was solid. Not sure if I will listen to it again, but it was enjoyable enough. 7/10 Top song Bang a gong

Nothing better than industrial metal. Not a fan. 3.5/10 Top song NWO

What can you say about this? Sounded like my Casio keyboard from the 90s. 2/10 Top song Wilmont

I was taken away to a speakeasy in the 1950s and absolutely loved it. Probably best jazz album we have had so far. 9/10 Top song You pick they are all great

Good but sounds the same throughout. I appreciate her song writing ability and her connection with her fans. 4/10 Top song Coat of many colors

It was OK. I appreciate Ghostface Killah as a rapper as he steals most tracks. 5.5/10 Top song Criminology

One of the best rap albums of the 80s. The music, beats and lyrics are top notch. Yeah booooooy! 8/10 Top song Don't believe the hype

Grungiest grunge album ever. Love his Staley and Cantrell's voices on this album. Fun listen and brought me back to junior high. 8.25/10 Top song Rooster

Fun listen once I find the album that was not two hours long. Sounds like someone finding their voice after listening to the kinks and other 70s albums. 6/10 Top song Queen of eyes

I woke up feeling funky and low and behold George motherfunking Clinton was the next album. My only connection with him was the movie PCU when I was about twenty so this was a fun funky listen. 7/10 Top song Maggot Brain/Chant

One of the first great albums I owned as a kid. I know it is immature, but I still love it. 9/10 Top song Paul Revere

Very very British and on the 4th of July. USA USA USA!! The album was fine. 4/10 Top song Petty (Thief) Lout

Fun Sunday morning listen. Great background music while making breakfast. 7/10 Top song Lonely

Very cure. But not something I disliked. I am going to go and sit in a dark room to decompress. 5/10 Top song One hundred years

Nice smooth listen from the chef from south park. Not sure about the last song at 18 minutes but the rest of it was solid. 7.5/10 Top song Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic

I did not enjoy this very much. It sounds like every other late 90s early 00s band trying to do rock and roll. 2.5/10 Top song Secretly

Fantastic! Listen to the legacy edition if you get the chance. Fun to hear the Statler Brothers, Johnny Cash and the Carter Sisters interact with the crowd. 9.5/10 Top song You pick but for me A Boy Named Sue

I would say she is the top female vocalist of all time. Great album, I even went out and bought the vinyl after listening to this. 9/10 Top song Chain of fools

Frank ocean is a talented man. This was a very fun listen and I will defintely revisit again at a later date. 7.75/10 Top song Thinking about you

Horrible, I can't see why anyone would listen to this crap more than once. Ugh. 1.5/10 Top song The one with Thom Yorke, because Thom Yorke is in it.

Sounds like wannabe Beatles. I like the who, but was too fond of this album. It was fine and my generation kind of saved it. 5/10 Top song My Generation

Again need to separate the artist from the art. I like this album and would really like it if it was 20 minutes shorter. Some songs really drag on. 7.5/10 Top song Hell of a life

If I grew up on the streets, got shot nine times, survived, and got a record deal, this is the album I would make. My my favorite rap album but it is solid. 6/10 Top song P.I.M.P.

One of the best voices ever. It is sad there is only one of her albums on this list. 8/10 Top song I love your lovin ways

Not very good. I listened to it and thought I would be perfectly happy not hearing this again. 3/10 Top song Rip it up
