1001 Albums Summary

It's a Doors record...

Musically, it was great. But not a memorable album.

Great soul/R&B album. Not a lot of variety but it does what it does really well.

This was a fun listen. Like being in a jazz club.

Its a classic.

If you likw grunge its a near perfect album. Turns out I like Soundgarden less than I thought (Aside from a couple amazing songs on thje album).

Enjoyable Yes album. Some songs are way too long. Two versions of 'I've Seen All the Good People Your Move' is excessive. Too much filler.

This was crap.

A good ska album. Not very memorable but it had some good jams

The intro music to Paul Simon's Graceland. What more can I say? African music that is funky, approachable, and full of soul.

Not Coldplay's best, but I do love me some Coldplay.

It's Pearl Jam.

Too much warbling, not enough substance. This album did nothing for me.

Track 1 & 2: Ok this isn't for me. Track 3: Ok, there's something here. Maybe not an album I love, or something I'd listen to again, but enjoyable if unmemorable. Like Oasis but without the magic.

Free Bird, Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone. An album full of classics and one of the all-time debut records.

Great album with great songs. It would be better if it wasn't all covers.

Definitely weird and not exactly to my tastes. Some songs grabbed me, like 'I'm So Proud'. But there was not much here for me to grab on to.

Not my jam. Mostly noise, and weirdly experimental. There's a 17 minute song about a blowjob with the lyrics "You're busy sucking on my ding-dong. You busy sucking on my ding-dong." For fucks sakes.

Post-punk pop vibes. Not bad, not great.

A little sad. Overall good but a bit to downbeat and melancholy. The track Lost Cause was a standout.

It's Pet Sounds. An absolute banger album. That's Not Me is a standout on an album of great music. It changed the game at the time and still holds up.

One of the greatest from one of the greatest. Poetry to music.

Fun and upbeat. It would be good for a backyard bbq or outdoor chill.

A little slow, but great for background.

A great collection of samples but not something I would listen to again. It was kind of boring to be honest.

At times, bizarre, disjointed, and rough. Still it was weirdly enjoyable at times and always interesting. It felt more "garage" than say, Nirvana but the theme remains the same.

This was a fun album that acts as a perfect time capsule into late 90's/early 2000s R&B hip hop. It might not be the best example of the genre but it brought me back in a wave of nostalgia.

Not a lot here for me. Background electronic music. Blase

A consistently enjoyable album, but it's almost too safe. A great first effort but it lacks the depth, power, and experimentation of their later stuff.

If you like 90s UK techno, then you must love this album. I do not. It wasn't bad, but it's not my kind of album. It's dirty, it's grungy(good), but it's also repetitive and every song is 1-2 minutes longer than it needs to be.

Great live album, even if the sound quality isn't the best.

It's stunning, soulful , and beautiful in every way. Her voice is incomparable, the production is perfect and the album is a complete work of artistry. Listening to it now in hindsight gives the album a whole new and tragic patina. It made me mournful for what could of been, but incredibly grateful for what was.

An interesting look at one of the first "rock operas". It's an interesting album that tells a complete story, but unfortunately it pales in almost every way to Tommy.

This was a fun album. Beautiful, pop inspired, a little jazzy.

One of the best albums ever. MJ is a pedophile though.

Good album to half listen to. Late era Elvis, nothing revolutionary here.

It's an album. Apparently I listened to most of it but I'm not really sure when that took place. Nothing stood out and I wouldn't go back to it.

Another album that just wasn't my style. At times I hated it, at times I was intrigued. A few times it pulled out of the heavy industrial sound to give me something I enjoyed immensely.

Weird, sad noise. It had some fun parts, but overall, it was very mediocre. The sound quality was fine at best, but the whole album was extremely underwhelming.

A sad and moving final album

A punk album that isn't really punk. It has the sound but not the anger. Although it isn't a bad album it doesnt give me what I need from a "punk" album. I could see these songs being used in a commercial to great effect.

Sad 90s music. An indie band, but not one I would listen to. I can see the appeal but there are many, many bands that do the same thing better.

The Flaming Lips are a lot less intense than I thought. There were some slow parts, but overall it was an upbeat, tight, and thoroughly engaging album. I would definitely listen to it again. Race for the Prize, A Spoonful Weighs a Ton, and Buggin were particular standouts

An album that remains just as good as the first time I heard it. Obviously the guitar is the star of the show but Jimi Hendrix's unique vocals put this album in another stratosphere.

Experimental jazz is experimental jazz. A collection of 20+ minute songs that weren't particularly enjoyable to listen to.

This album was funky and fun. A good mix of soul, jazz, funk, with some didgeridoo thrown in for good measure. You can definitely hear the Stevie Wonder influence throughout everything. Maybe not the most original or inventive but enjoyable nonetheless.

I do love Neil Young, but this isn't him at his best. It's still Neil Young, and it's still better than most, but this is an album best listened to in the background of a dark and dingy dive bar.

Sad folk. For an artist and album I have never heard of before I really enjoyed this one. It reminded me a little of Rufus Wainwright.

Great album with great production. An obvious departure from her first album, with a lot more going on, but it works, and it works well.

It's a masterpiece.

It's kind of weird, not totally my style and a little boring at parts. There's no doubt that it is an interesting and musically adept album. Although I did really enjoy the tracks with vocals/lyrics like "I'll Come Running", (unfortunately there were only 5 out of the 14) the instrumental tracks didn't quite work for me and didn't hold my interest.

A little downbeat at times but "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll" and "Elvis Presley Blues" were standouts.

Joni Mitchell is a fantastic poet. The songs were enjoyable if unstructured. I can see why her, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan get lumped together. Although her songs posses less depth but more joy than the other two.

Moody, dark, but enjoyable album. It's gloomy and introspective without getting tiring or annoying or too inaccessible.

Soul music at its finest. An uplifting album that works as an antidote to the world around us. Super funky, jazzy and fun.

What the fuck is this?

A decent UK Rap album, but there was nothing new or truly interesting here.

At the time this album was a game changer. Now it feels dated and out of place. It was fun at the time, but now it just feels juvenile and serves to show that rap has come a loooong way. The music is still good, it still means a lot to me, but the lyrics are pretty fucked up.

If brunch was an album. It's pleasant, easy listening, but it never reaches great heights or gives you much. I liked it as background music but I wouldn't put it on to listen to.

Beautifully done.

Even though it was released in 1989 this felt very much like a 90s pop album. It had great production (if overproduced) and is very much a product of its time. It wasn't bad but I didn't find it particularly engaging either.

Janis Joplin's vocals are unmatched. an engaging, sometimes fun and sometimes somber album. You can feel the emotion in every song, every lyric, and every note.

The soundtrack of drinking Bud Light, Monster Energy drinks, and beating your wife. The music is bad, the lyrics are worse.

Not my favourite Neil Young album but even mediocre Neil is better than most.

A fun swing album, and a unique time capsule.

I wasn't a fan of this album. The sound was too rough and it feels way too pretentious. Plus (even at 1hr 16min) it's too long. I'm sure it plays well at a record store and with the music snob crowd.

This is my kind of music. Obviously you can't really capture the "magic" of a jam band in a polished studio album, but every jam band needs one (a la Phish's Farmhouse). Lots of classic songs on this album, it's one of my favourites.

I didn't realize how many great Blondie songs were on a single album. The whole album was a blast to listen to.

An unexpected and smooth album. I'd definitely listen to this one again.

This sounds like the music that cool kids from the 90s would listen to. It's obviously technically amazing and Thom Yorke is a world class musician, but this album was way to "experimental" for my tastes, and just sounds like noise in too many parts. I loved the vocals, and "How to Dissapear Completely" was my favourite showcase of that.

This album sounded like a quintessential 90's alt rock band. It felt a little too polished but it wasn't bad. It wasn't very good either. I'd rather listen to REM or Nirvana.

This album opens incredibly strong but then loses steam. I'm not the biggest LCD Soundsystem fan but this album was pretty enjoyable.

A classic of 90s hip hop. It's not one of my favourites and leans more on gimmick than social commentary, but it's a precursor to the albums and artists I love. I'd listen to it while working out.

A bit too melancholy and whiny for me. Still, it's a Neil Young album so its hard to hate. At the same time, none of the songs are standouts, it's an album with some good songs yet none of the greats.

I had never heard of Janis Joplin's first band. Until now, I only heard of her as a solo artist. This is the Janis show, and some of the best songs on the album are recognizable Janis hits that I already knew and loved. Great to hear them in this context. +1 point for the R. Crumb album artwork.

I assume if you like industrial metal music then this album is good? I'm not really sure, I can't tell. To me, it's screechy nonsense with little to grab onto or like at all.

Kind of weird, kind of approachable. This was a fun album even if it wasn't the most unique or engaging.

Just a classic old school hip hop album. One of the best, and a cornerstone to the hip hop I love. The sound is smooth, cool, and infectious, the lyrics are thoughtful and full of soul. I have and will continue to listen to this album over and over again.

I'm not actually the biggest Stones fan but its a passable album.

As a rush fan, it's not a bad album. The songs are a bit too long and it drags in certain spots, but otherwise its a decent album, sonically and lyrically on point.

Honestly, this album was kind of bland considering the band and the album art. I really liked Brother Sport and My Girls and Summertime Clothes was pretty decent, but otherwise it was a kind of forgettable album.

It's not a bad album. Peter Gabriel is no doubt a talented musician, and I love some the experimental elements of the album. It has shades of Bowie, if not quite as daring or interesting. Still, an overall enjoyable listen.

Obviously they're great musicians with unique creative ideas, but this "concept album" just didn't work. It was too long, too boring, and didn't have anything that stood out. The idea behind the album was stronger than the execution (lyrics or music). It tried to reach too far and fell short.

It's Nevermind.

Great voice of Ray Charles paired with great sax, sign me up. A good blend of soulful tunes and big band sound.

Probably a breath of fresh air from the glam rock and heavy sounds of the 80s, but in 2026 this album feels washed out. Vocals, lyrics, instrumentals are all fine, but there is nothing here that really grabs you.

I have a VERY soft spot for The Doors. I am a huge fan of Jim Morrison's vocals and this album has some absolute classics like Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman, and Riders on the Storm

It's like if David Bowie was bad.

Kind of sad, I loved the vibe in the first few songs but it get a bit too tedious and full of itself

Not my favourite Supertramp album but damn if I don't have a soft spot for them. Plus there are some bangers (Bloody Well Right, Dreamer, etc.

I like the songs, I like the sound, and I love the weird vibes but every single song was too long by at least a minute if not more and it started to feel indulgent. If there was any self-editing, this would have been great.

It's Sgt. Pepper.

This album didn't blow me away but it was great to discover. A few songs we're pretty great (I really liked My Mistakes Were Made For You. Age of the Understatement and Separate And Ever Deadly were also pretty good)

One of the best live albums I have heard. Pacing is great, the sound and soul are powerful, and Sam Cooke is a national treasure.

U2 being one of the "biggest bands in the world" feels like some kind of government psyop. their songs feel so by the book that it comes across as completely manufactured and devoid of emotion. It's exactly what rockstars "should" sound like, and for some reason, that is deeply off-putting. That being said, One is a great song.

I mean, it's another Neil Young album. I love Neil Young and this is a great album but I could use some more variety.

A beautiful album from start to finish. It's filled with powerful, soulful songs. Some songs are bigger hits than others, but damn if this album isn't great from cover to cover.

Yup, I'm still not a post-punk fan. This isn't so much music as yelling and screeching. I liked the intro to Do You Compute....but then the "singing" started.

I didn't realize I liked Depeche Mode but this was a surprisingly approachable album. It's dark, moody, pop-y at times and a genuinely great listen. Although it's not an album I would put on anytime, it's great for a specific vibe in a specific time/place.

It definetely falls into the realm of generic 90s rock, but there are some good moments here. At points the album drags, nothing really stands out, but it's not a bad listen overall.

It's weird. Not bad, but weird.

I enjoyed it in a background sort of way. No songs particularly stood out, but it was a capable album by a capable artist. It didn't move me, or speak to me artistically but it was mellow, easy listening for my workday.

A pretty boring album with solid instrumentals. Lyrics were entirely forgettable and sometimes grating.

Another middle of the road 2000's era indie rock band.

I didn't realize how much I liked Van Halen or how great this album was! Really just a fun, absolute rocker from start to finish. What a phenomenal debut album.
