1001 Albums Summary

Saw this movie recently. Love ‘Pusherman’ and the title track (or ‘Freddy’s Dead’), but like most soundtracks, there’s a lot of filler.

Only ever heard the hits, of which there’s 4 on this album!? She’s got an incredible voice. The Cure cover was a nice added bonus.

I had several Coltrane albums on CD, and this and Giant Steps still stand out.

Love Leonard Cohen, very stark.

Never heard this before.

Another I’d never heard of, and unlike any hair metal I’ve ever listened to. Knew of Razzle from Motley Crue’s The Dirt, RIP.

I’m a sucker for

Meh

Only the Smokey Robinson covers saved this from being a 1 for me. Jonz In My Bonz and Shit, Damn, Motherfucker? Ugh trash IMO

I used to enjoy this. Now I find it grating and terribly redundant. I get it, that’s what 90’s techno was.

Sounds like junior high

Cheesy. Bad covers

This is a fine blues album by white British guys, but where’s the Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters on this list?

I loved this album when it came out and it holds up!

Let’s say Speakerboxxxx 4, The Love Below 5

I loved their appearance in Repo Man and this is great!

I’ve always known Yes from Owner of a Lonely Heart and Roundabout, but listening to this….had I ever actually heard Roundabout? I certainly didn’t know it was 8 and a half minutes long. Meh. No, I don’t like this

I was so enamored with this album when it came out and saw them 4 times that tour. Listening now, it doesn’t seem so monumental, but in 2008 it was a literal lifesaver.

Very mild and enjoyable

Help Me Rhonda, Do You Wanna Dance, Dance Dance Dance, When I Grow Up. This is a 5. Obligatory Mike Love is a douche bag.

Only knew these guys from the flower power song Get Together, which isn’t on this. This is more trippy than hippy dippy.

I tried with this one but just couldn’t get into it. Right when it seemed to be building momentum, he’d drop a dud. A few of these songs seem to have not aged well either, given his history that came to light. And why is Billie Joe Armstrong on the cover?

Brian should’ve left I Know There’s An Answer as it’s original title, Hang On To Your Ego.

I still remember all the words. Had this on cassette
