1001 Albums Summary

yuck

Not my jam

Too groovy for me

I know it is a good album. I've never been a big R.E.M. fan but have been surrounded by many.

Love this album. Fun to listen to while cooking....bopped around the kitchen like I did when I first listened to them as a teen.

Didn't listen to all of it.

Yuck

Blech. Never much of a Madonna fan and I found this album pretty horrific

Just, no. Zero

Other than their first album, I have found them over-hyped and irritating. Record of the year? Not for me.

I liked it more than I thought I would. Listened with hubby and it was very nostalgic for him. My mom saw them at a tiny hall at Harvard on this tour and she met the band. It was fun talking to her about that experience.... She remembers what she wore and where she sat. It brought a big giggly smile to her face.

So repetitive. Lyrics felt like an afterthought attached to a bunch of guitar jamming.

No more metal!!!! Yuck

Blah.

Ok, so I loved this album when it came out. I could barely stand to listen to it now. Some of the music is pretty interesting but the singing and lyrics are so awful. I wondered if I liked them because everyone else did or because they were cute it I was a stupid teenager.

This was an album that was very important to me in high school. My brother loved the Smiths and had already seen them on tour. I remember a lot of sitting in my room listening to their songs and wallowing in my depression. It was actually great for me to listen to right now again and not feel that way about it. I really loved Unhappy Birthday. I also have vivid memories of seeing them on tour at some point at Great woods. I even remember what I wore. I wish Morrissey hadn't turned out to be such a douche.

Yuck. One song was bearable - the single - but otherwise really crap.

Enjoyed this. Some songs a bit too long for me .. Eleven minutes! 😬

Yuck. No more metal please.

I was only familiar with one song which I had never liked. Still sticking by that opinion. Not a fan of the rest either. They all sound the same to me. I felt like I needed to get out a skateboard and be angry.

Listened to him a lot as a child and then again in college. Boogie on Reggae Woman was my favorite track back then and remains so.

I'm absolutely shocked that I love this album as much as I did. I've never really been into Led Zeppelin but this really resonated with me and fit perfectly with my mood. I love how each song sounds so different but still carries their sound. This had me wishing I had a much better way to listen to music other than a Bluetooth speaker for my phone.

Blah. Find it annoying at best. My husband is a huge fan and did admit this wasn't their finest hour.

Loved this, can't believe I've never heard of her before. Not a fan of the weird duet.

I didn't enjoy this at all.

Another album I felt like I was supposed to love. His voice is beautiful but I found the lyrics mostly uninteresting and the music repetitive.

Find them irritating. Didn't enjoy this album at all.

I like the first couple of songs and enjoyed reading about their immersive art concept. I had only heard one or two of the songs before. Seems like they were very much ahead of their time

No surprise to anyone who knows me... I love this album. It's not my favorite Prince album but it's a great one. My only note would be that the songs are too long but that might be because I have no patience these days. I discovered something new that I didn't notice when I was 11... The cover, designed by Vanity, uses a big dildo for the number one. The things you learn as you age...

No option for zero stars

Yuck. Painful to experience. Couldn't handle more than about 10 seconds of each song.

Forgot how much I love Kate Bush. I shall put her in my regular rotation from now on. Oddly, this album is from a very sad point in my life but I don't find it brings me back to that, just the opposite.

Yuck. I have never understood their appeal.

Painful to my ears

Felt repetitive. Feel bad saying that because I feel like I should like it more but I don't really.

It had me wishing for more. I went through a Sarah Vaughn phase in college. Now I'm wondering why it was just a phase. Definitely putting her in regular rotation. It was a perfect album to listen to during yesterday's storm.

The phrasing drove me crazy. Not for me.

It felt very awkward

Not a fan of his voice or signing style. Felt very repetitive.

Yuck

I found it annoying at best.

Nope. Didn't listen to this, won't ever.

Bleh. I have never liked McCartney's voice or lyrics. I always get stuck on his bad grammar - which I know should be excused in song lyrics but I just can't.

Not for me. Too much dance music repetitiveness and thumping

Splanky was my favorite. Very mellow in parts. I enjoyed the album but I don't think I'll add it to my playlist.... Maybe too frantic feeling for me a times.

Good but not my favorite of theirs. And, of course, another artist with a seriously problematic personality. I was very into them in HS. Maybe they are why I became a vegetarian at 15 for 15 years. I had a great time at their show at Great Woods in Mansfield...still remember what I wore....but their music feels tainted by Morrissey's personal stance on other humans.

I really don't like her voice and I didn't find any of the lyrics interesting or clever.

Very fun - listened while weeding the garden. Good energy.

Super chill

Interesting

Loved this album and all the songs that Spotify thought should follow it to keep the vibe.

This feels like an album you'd put on in the background when you had family over for a holiday. Pleasant and innocuous. I will likely never listen to Richard Hawley again but I didn't find it offensive in any way.

Just a few songs that were fun to listen to but overall kinda crappy. The album doesn't seem to have any cohesive element and it started grating on me. I also found the sappy love songs to his "lady" disturbing and poorly written.

Like Andrew, this album brought me back to the LHS rock band years. I think my brother and Aaron Tapp were in a band together -- Black Attic -- that played in our church basement. I am certain they would have covered one of these songs. My brother had a bunch of different band logos painted on his bedroom wall and I'm pretty sure this was one of them. He also shared the music he loved with me - Yes, Rush, etc. - and although it wasn't my jam, I listened.

Just awful. Yuck. Hated it. Zero stars?

Not enjoyable at all. His voice is irritating and the long, repetitive intros are enraging. I want to like them because I believe they do a lot of work with Global Citizen but I just can't.

Very enjoyable vibe. None of the songs particularly stood out to me but I found it very pleasant. I feel like this is an artist I should have be familiar with but I was not until this listen.

I hate this voice and everything he's ever done. I didn't mind the intros as far as music goes but the songs as a whole were terrible. Hated it.

Painful to listen to this album. Made my ears bleed profusely.

Another band my brother was into back in the day. I enjoyed listening to it but likely won't ever again.

I don't really like The Beatles and I understand that puts me in the minority but this album was pleasant background music.

Boring. Unmemorable

This is one that makes me wish I had my stereo back. Listening to it on my phone doesn't do the layered aspect any justice.

I thought I would like this a lot more than I did. I found it kind of boring and fine as background music but I wouldn't listen to it again.

I love anything Dolly

Not my favorite. Too much outdated love chatter

I appreciate the cultural significance however I have never liked the Beatles. I prefer storytelling to repetitive music and lyrics. I know I'm an outlier.

ick. either the singer sucks and the production is mixed to drown him out or the production sucks.... or both.

I was surprised how much I liked this. I feel like I had preconceived notions about this band that were totally wrong. it was definitely a mellow album to listen to well doing stuff around the house. I would add it to my playlist

I had not heard this before. pleasant but unexciting

I did not enjoy this at all. I found it chaotic and nonsensical. I felt like her choose a title for a song and then just randomly blathered on

honestly, I couldn't wait for this album to be over. I can truly say I did not enjoy one thing about it

it sounded like a rambling mess of drug induced jamming by some high school friends.

honestly I just kind of excited for this album and thought I would really like it but I didn't at all. I really didn't like them when I was a kid but I've come to enjoying many of their songs as an adult this album just didn't do it for me

I think I'm the minority here but I didn't enjoy this album. no more to say.

as one of the people in my listening group really loves this album, I wanted to like it, I really did, but I really didn't

this album made absolutely no sense to me.

great album. her unique vocals and intense piano make this a very enjoyable listen

what can I say about an album that hypes roller skates??!! woohoo! they songs do go on forever though so that's not great.

I saw them live in the late 80s. they were great. this was a nice blast from the past. i like the entire vibe of the album, some songs hit better than others, of course.

meh

I really wanted to like this. thinking that maybe my tastes had matured. Alas, I can't seem to get over my dislike of Tom Petty's voice. I do appreciate that the music - with its multiple layers - is quite good.
