1001 Albums Summary

Aretha sing GOOD. Niki Hoeky and Ain't No Way were great and new to me. Not long enough to cook dinner to is a small minus though. Needed more 7 min jams

Nice jams, the hits and Janis' voice are great to be reminded of. Turtle Blues is one I'll add to the playlist, whole album worth another listen soon. Repetitious vocals at times annoyed my wife during dinner (stir fry).

I like Neil Young, and this album was a pleasant experience from the start. Loved the 60's sci-fi story in After the Gold Rush, silver spaceships. Only Love was a soothing slide into the force of nature that is Southern Man, raw and unapologetic. Highly recommend Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live at Fillmore East, Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand specifically, if you have a half hour to lose yourself in this kind of Neil. Liked Don't Let it Bring You Down, and loved When You Dance, made me think of my daughter. I Believe in You swelled into a rich full sound and transition into Cripple Creek felt great. Had a good time with this one, will listen again soon.

Hope to see more down the list, Tangerine new add to playlist

Prefer Roy Orbinson

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan and Dylan because he SPIT HOT FIYA!!! Idk

I'll give this what it deserves and round up from a 4.25 - love Maggie's Farm, Outlaw Blues, 115th Dream, amazing imagery throughout, Gates of Eden, Alright Ma. I had always heard The Animals cover of Baby Blue, didn't even realize. Still love that version

Didn't know what to expect really, but was surprised the journey this one took me on. Three Babies was moving, Emperor's Clothes and Jump in the River interesting. Nothing Compares I feel like I never hear the original. That Night Nurse is now the definitive for me, so cool.

Pretty rough one, definitely did not get it

Who is the Secret Beatle in the middle square? Could it be .... YOU!? There are better Beatle albums to come I think

Fun album, fun vibe, fun baselines, funny music videos. Had fun with it.

Didn't understand a word - loved it

Liked this one a lot, great for working. Also, Would you like some sweets, Willy?

I need to catch up! Sorry David, I tried. Heroes title track was good

Really liked it, the whole way through. Planet Caravan, Hand of Doom, Electric Funeral - all the songs that weren't big singles I liked a lot, rhythm of bass and drums was dominant across the album. Love the cover art as well.

After the opening classic ran a little slow for me surprisingly, up until the amazing Superstition. Second half I liked better and closed strong with I Believe

Tame waiting room reggae - meh. If you want a suggestion, try 10 Ft Ganja Plant for some contrast. I listened to them instead and had a blast

Pretty great album overall some interesting fun jams on there, flew by. Sixteen Saltines in particular had me perk up. Who's jealous, who's jealous, who's jealous, who's jealous of who?

Very interesting listen, I loved it. I think I've heard some at least from this before but this was fun and one I'll listen to again and again

Love Otis, already one of my favorites

Country isn't my genre really but this was pretty good music, I think if it was something I'd put on more often it would be a five. I'm at 4.15 now.

Fun album and great to work to, felt like I got a lot done and the music was interesting. Radio 7 is a jams bond

I blasted Kill You at my in-laws' Easter party, caused a stir and got nothing but dirty looks. I sent a series of escalating Stan-esque letters to my father in law, to no response, and now none of my wife's family will talk to me. Thanks Marshall ...

Pretty solid overall, blasted through though, will look back at it

Very insane album I had fun with, will be listening again and to more Beck

Amazing opening, the singles are great. In between ok. Won't Get Fooled Again is incredible, I'll let it push me all the way to 5

That was a refreshing, elegant, dancy fun album that breezes by. Glad I skipped up for it

Really fun album, had never listened to full van Halen before - overall between iconic songs and just fun riffs was great

Awesome classic - makes me regret giving Van Halen 5 stars as this was another level. Some truly beautiful moments, funky fun

Couldn't fully get into it, but I see there is a vibe there some would like, not for me though

Another super classic, I liked the rest of the album quite a bit after the great Dreams, Chain, Don't Stop and Own Way. You Make Loving Fun was good, it was all good.

Off beat strange and cool album in proud to have listened to - this is the kind of stuff I love the list for. Blister is good enough for a 5 but I liked the whole thing. Weirdly timeless

Interesting overall, liked Stay, had some good moments, short and sweet

A few good tracks for me, but overall nothing too memorable

An interesting if underwhelming late album from the Boys, liked a few, but mostly just got through

Liked My Wave, Fell On, Mailman, Superunknown, Black Hole, spoonman, tried to live. Mostly single-heavy first half that powers the album. Overall outweighs the weaker back end.

Glad I heard it, interesting listen but maybe not something I'll come back to much. Did enjoy some, so maybe revisit

Better than I was prepared to give it credit for, Taylor's voice is pretty good and I think great when she sings lower register. I liked tis the damn season, happiness, ivy. Willow was still stuck in my head after the whole album but don't know I love it. I may be Swiftin'

Pulsing, driving, grooving - just a great album. Just listen to it again, whole thing is great

Thrilling - truly great weekend album. And the thriller video is incredible.

Great definitive album for Green Day. Enjoyed the full listen, Welcome to Paradise is great, among other hits. Drum driven often but interesting moments in most tracks, distinct writing.

Fun album out of nowhere, liked Fly a lot, flew by

Incredible album, great band. Stand out probably Brendan #1 and Shut the Door, love Fugazi

Great beats, some dated lyrics but a definite classic. A little torn on this but not quite perfect album

Some really good moments but overall just solid background today at least. A 3.5 rounded down because

We're watching the detectives ... So bad it almost got good a few times

Was shocked at the last song, now know the artist and album for that, overall somewhat forgettable

Solid Blues album, enjoyed it, short and sweet

First Led album I bought, listened to over and over, great time to blast. Truly a band that gets better with volume, as high as tolerable for best results. They were pretty transcendent here.

Started hating it but kind of got it by the end, overall ok. The voice stuff didn't work with me most of the time but she can sing. The Oh Canada towards the end was nice lol

Really like heart of gold and old man, a very good album overall but I'm torn, probably 4.5. Words.

Strange experience, listened while mowing the lawn. Interesting to say the least, took me on a journey

Great beats, vocals, very interesting thought provoking and well constructed album, like a bit more now than when it came out

Pretty solid overall but mainly Orange Crush is so good. Stand is on here as well, Hairshirt I liked. Yeah it was pretty good

Too much fluff, but Hallelujah is an amazing, all timer version

This album is an achievement for sure, really full sound that at times was like a Wall-of-Soundified R.E.M. Really liked Boys Better and Every Day Should be a Holiday, Good Morning. But at the same time, made 1hr feel like much longer and dragged late despite the rich production value. Very interesting album missing something for me.

Buffalo Stance is such a banger, album overall gives me a nostalgic feeling, like she could rap on Captain Planet or Darkwing Duck or something and be awesome

Amazing album, huge Pixies fan now. They clearly influenced either directly or indirectly a ton of bands and music that I loved in the 90s/00s growing up. And not only that but these songs are GREAT examples of the style. Love Wave of Mutilation, I Bleed, Debaser, really all the tracks are good, short and sweet bites of goodness, No 13 Baby, Hey, etc.

Really good stones album, the huge single stand outs that bookend of course but Let it Bleed and Love in Vain are favorites of mine

Probably really a 3 I guess but I know I didn't enjoy it that much, and I've never been even lukewarm on the hits here. So for me, I'm not coming back to this one

Freewheelin folk from Bob - I still like the last Dylan album a lot more than this, but this was ok. I think it is really hard to appreciate Dylan for me especially with a small child. He just drones lines. Harmonica parts were good

Strange experience, but now I know what Tom Waits is at least at this point in his career. Some funny discourse on this album, and there is a Ruby song, but overall not the best. Jersey Girl is fun as the hit single, just belting it out

What do you think of Dook Smellington as on online name?

Solid background music, but nothing really jumped out at me, strange because I loved Doolittle. Perhaps I had my expectations set a certain way, but this was just ok for me. Dig for Fire, Stormy Weather is good for stormy weather,

Pretty solid classic rock. Loved the opening track Waitin, 5 stars on that one, the rest 3 and 4.

I actually liked the first two tracks well enough, it was trending toward an enjoyable but forgettable 3 stars but it just dragged on at some point. I could see how many would have seen this as an incredible album at the time, just being exposed to different things that were big elsewhere - but to me many tracks felt so bland.

Liked Yo Mama, and Passin Me By is an all time classic. Oh Sh*t and On the DL were fun in the same way, a lot of fun rap circle lyricism on this album, and some really amazing beats that stand the test of time

Maybe my favorite Eminem album, there are some other greater ones in many respects. My mind goes here first though I think, so many listens while commuting for like a 2-3 year period. Awesome to re-listen and get a taste of that time while cleaning the gutters.

I may have to come back to this one but wasn't super impactful on first listen

Incredible album, so smooth and clean. Sultans has always been great but I loved even the least-played tracks on this one, really enjoyed it.

Pretty interesting although the covers were hit and miss, the stones one I didn't like so much and the doors I was into - but that's covers for you. The rest I liked and liked the finale Raghupati a lot. Kind of an iffy unsure 4 here.

This was very cool background music to the morning but since I'm not a jazz guy everything kind of bled together at some point and then it ended. Was great though and probably deserves a more serious listen

Enjoyed the album, but not much really stuck with me. 2 songs in particular did strike me to the next day: Desire Lines, and the final He Would Have Laughed

Pretty cool album and definitely one that's got to be on the list for "history of notable music happenings" reasons. The songs are good but the environment and effortless charm of Johnny are what cement this one

I really liked the start with Victoria, yes sir no sir was ok, then kind of meandered between not jumping out to me and some gems. Brainwashed and Shangri-La were good in different ways, Princess Marina and Mr Shoemaker's Daughter gave that wacky rock vibe that is fun for me, but at other times just didn't land.

Pretty good where I could hear but I had a rough distracted listen, will have to come back to this one and edit

Really liked I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Dollars and Cents, and the jazz departure of Life In a Glass House. A very broody, yearning/lamenting kind of emotion behind everything here, has a rainy day feel but it was sunny out, maybe that hurt the rating here

Amazing classic of the curated rock-opera Floyd era, and Waters in full force writing. Always loved this one great to go through again. Manages to capture so many feelings while having a direct story/message at the same time. True masterpiece

Pretty good overall, didn't think I'd like it at first but I could maybe come back to this one
