1001 Albums Summary

TBH i think i would give the whole album 2.5/5! Not bad just not my thing that much haha.

I didn't score this one individually, because it felt more like a complete piece from being live. Favourite song(s): Folsom Prison Blues, San Quentin (Reprise) Least favourite song(s): I Walk the Line (though still love it, but loved all the others more!) I loved that you really feel transported in this album. Mr Cash you are a legend :)

Sooo much fun. Billy Joel's songwriting is always a blast to experience. I loved some of the songs (the stranger, always a woman) but the last two left much to be desired imo. a solid 3.5 album; some songs to save but not consistent enough for a 4 :) favourite(s): The Stranger, Always a Woman least favourite(s): Get it Right the First Time, Everybody Has a Dream

i appreciate how impressive this album is and the experimentation, but for me it's more misses than hits. i do love time after time though!

it was fine! the instrumentals were lovely but some of it felt repetitive. 2 or 2.5/5, depending.

this album is so wild, oh my god. i love how crazy it is?! really haven't heard anything like it, especially from this era. solid 3.5/5 i think.

this was my first time listening to this album all the way through; i appreciate it's value and the huge impact on the music scene as a whole, but it left little to no impact on me. i appreciated the lyrics the most, but i do feel the album is a touch overrated. i can't give it more than a 2, because the majority of songs i just did not enjoy at all. also fuck that racist cunt nico. ft: heroin lft: i'll be your mirror, european son

my god this sucks. guess being a nazi will do that to you. p.s. why does chelsea girls go on for 10 years. it's like a circle of hell. ft: these days lft: eulogy to lenny brucem chelsea girls, it was a pleasure then

such an easy 5*!! a no-skip album for me, i absolutely adored it. the way the vocals are layered throughout to build such a fantastical soundscape is incredible. the grandiosity that builds is exciting every time, and make the softer, more dreamlike tracks shine. it's hard to pick just one as a favourite. the first three tracks provide this sense of invigoration, and feel almost feverish at times. the instrumentation pulses in a way that is borderline hypnotic. then there's tracks such as under ice, waking the witch, and jig of life that provide a more storied approach lyrically, with each track developing into separate chapters of a book. under ice feels ominous, almost haunting before transitioning into waking the witch, a more claustrophobic atmosphere, waking the witch specifically felt like i had been put into a musical sleep paralysis, in the best way. then there's jig of life, turbulent, emotional, and so fun. again, easy 5/5 for me. i completely understand that it's not for everyone but this is such a unique album and should be considered as influential as something like the velvet underground, in my opinion! average track rating: 4.2/5 album rating: 5/5 thank you to the person who did this format in the reviews, I hope you don't mind me taking and adjusting for my purposes :') number of albums left to review: 1,080 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 3 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 1 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 8

album #10 incredibly produced! some real bangers on here. i had never listened to this album before, and i can understand why it was on the list. it's a real shame that he made an album with some real lyrical gems only to turn around and become a nazi. boo you! favourite track(s): the new workout plan, family business least favourite track(s): two words number of albums left to review: 1,079 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 4 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 1 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 9

album #11 A beautifully smooth and playful live album! Sarah Vaughn's voice is incredible and her ability to improvise in a fun way really endears this album to me. I disliked "be anything but darling be mine" but I do prefer it to the original. 3.5/5 because the live recording interactions made me giggle. favourite track(s): willow weep for me, how high the moon least favourite track(s): be anything but darling be mine number of albums left to review: 1,078 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 5 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 1 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 10

album #12 I absolutely adore the experimentation throughout this album. mr. eno, one has to wonder if you've ever missed. this album has so many unique tracks, to the point i really couldn't predict what was coming next - and i love that! some of them were a bit more dull or simply weren't my thing (driving me backwards, blowtorch), but i feel this is more through the strength of the other tracks rather than these being bad, per se. loved it! here come the warm jets is a new favourite song, which has bumped this to a 4/5 :) average track rating: 3.4 favourite track(s): here come the warm jets (easily a new favourite song), on some faraway beach, dead finks don't talk least favourite track(s): driving me backwards number of albums left to review: 1,077 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 6 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 2 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 10

album #13 wild album from start to finish, literally. the songs have an almost animalistic nature to them in the best way. whilst some are less up my alley, i grew up listening to ozzy and hand of doom alone bumps the whole scoring. i can't give it a 5/5 because, for me, there aren't enough songs that incredible / to my taste. happy to give a solid 4/5 for musicality, nostalgia, and influence. average track rating: 3.5/5 favourite track(s): hand of doom, paranoid, war pigs least favourite track(s): iron man number of albums left to review: 1,076 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 7 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 10

album #14 i didn't vibe with any song on this album, unfortunately. it's fine! i just don't care to listen to it again. the doors are influential, but not sure if this album should make it to the list when there is simply better blues music out there lol. number of albums left to review: 1,075 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 7 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 11

album #15 weird and wacky! i can't hate on this album, even though there were moments that fell flat for me. i've never listened to this talking heads album, and i do have to say the basslines throughout are sooo scrumptious to listen to. that being said, sometimes david byrne's vibe is just not for me. i do have to rate animals having the line "shit on the ground!", though. it's more a 2.5 for me, but have rounded up :--) favourite track(s): heaven, animals least favourite track(s): drugs, air number of albums left to review: 1,074 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 7 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 12

album #16 I saw one reviewer saying this album is like Duran Duran on downers and I haven't stopped laughing. It's true, though! I do enjoy that you can see/hear where a lot of 80s synth got it's inspiration, and I rate them for that! However, a lot of the album falls a little flat to me, either sounding indistinguishable from the last or just a bit too forgettable. I'm giving a 2/5 because I liked a couple of the tracks and I like the influence the album had on the following decade, but it's lack of memorability means it loses out on a 3. average track rating: 2.6 favourite track(s): fall in love with me, foreign place least favourite track(s): all tomorrow's parties album rating: 2/5 number of albums left to review: 1,073 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 8 (+1 Quiet Life) albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 13

album #17 Okay so I liked quite a few of the songs on this album, but I'm not 100% sure why it's on this list haha. I'm not opposed to it, and really loved 'Dancing Choose', and 'Lover's Day', but I'm not sure it constitutes an album that is necessary to listen to. It's of its time but not particularly influential or noteworthy to be deemed an album to listen to before death LOL! A solid indie album. Nothing particularly special about it, but I enjoyed listening to an album from a band I had never heard of before :D average track rating: 2.8 favourite track(s): dancing choose, lovers day least favourite track(s): red dress, golden age album rating: 3/5 number of albums left to review: 1,072 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 8 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #18 Do I like this album? No. Do I think it should be on the list? Yes. Blue lines paved the way for a lot of trip-hop, especially in the uk lol; i massively (;D) respect what they did with this album and what it meant for the uk music scene as a whole. But i just don't like it. it's a taste thing - i like some of massive attack's stuff, just not this album. c'est la vie! ꩜ average track rating: 1.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): blue lines ꩜ least favourite track(s): one love, safe from harm ꩜ album rating: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,071 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 9 (+1 Blue Lines) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #19 I like Leonard Cohen:) ꩜ average track rating: 0.0/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): ꩜ least favourite track(s): ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,070 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #20 in the name of billy joel - sing us a song piano man!! love the story behind this but i'm afraid i am not the target audience lol. ꩜ album rating: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,069 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #21 every track name on this made me giggle because of how it reads as more and more desperate as the tracks go on LOL. 3/5 because it's the temptations and they have a very clear influence on music and also their bass lines fuck. ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,068 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 10 (+1 Cloud Nine) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #22 this isn't a bad album but i fail to understand why it's on this list. it's dull as dishwater and isn't influential/impactful. i have a feeling it's just because it won a mercury prize. it was hard for me to actually get through the whole thing because i just wasn't interested. every song sounded the same, barring the ocean. i'm giving it a 1 because halfway through i kept checking whether it was the last song so i could end the album lol. ꩜ favourite track(s): the ocean ꩜ least favourite track(s): born under a bad sign ꩜ album rating: ★☆☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,067 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 10 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 19

album #23 DnB is not really my thing, but i like the vibes throughout this album. does the title song need to be 20 minutes? absolutely not, but i do respect it! i think a lot of the people who give this a low rating and call it slop, drivel, or for low-iqs are simply overly pretentious people who think they are better than dnb. probably classist too lol! you are not better than people because you like to huff lou reed's farts <3 it's easy to see the lasting influence this had on dnb in general, even as someone who isn't a huge fan. a lot of the synth injections were super atmospheric, which i liked! i wouldn't listen to the whole thing again, but definitely 1 or 2 songs to keep :) it deserves it's place on the list because of how it essentially brought jungle to the uk dnb scene. very cool. ꩜ favourite track(s): saint angel, sea of tears ꩜ least favourite track(s): adrift ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,066 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 10 (+1 Timeless) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 19

album #24 hot buttered bangers! lyrics are sick as hell and isaac hayes has a magnificient voice :-) ꩜ favourite track(s): one woman, walk on by ꩜ least favourite track(s): no least favourites! ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,065 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 11 (+1 Hot Buttered Soul) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 4 (+1 Hot Buttered Soul) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 20

album #25 bob dylan is a good writer and musician, but i simply do not vibe with a lot of this album. happy he wrote mr. tambourine man, though, so that the byrds could eventually cover it <3 ꩜ average track rating: 2.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): subterranean homesick blues, it's all over now baby blue ꩜ least favourite track(s): maggie's farm, outlaw blues ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,064 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 12 (+1 Bringing It All Back Home) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 4 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 21

album #26 completely agree with this being on the list, despite being initially surprised that it was LOL. this album is beautifully written and really captures the indie-electronic scene of the early 2010s. the scots know how to make tunes! i love the lyricism in this album, it really feels like you're in a move. it's so striking and i love it! such an incredible debut album and absolutely deserves it's place on the list, it's indie synth-pop magic and chvrches simply do not miss. IMO the people who disagree think the list should only include certain genres - ur boring! ꩜ average track rating: 4.2/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): the mother we share, gun, under the tide ꩜ least favourite track(s): recover ꩜ album rating: ★★★★★ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,063 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 13 (+1 The Bones of What You Believe) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 5 (+1 The Bones of What You Believe) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 21

album #27 the way these songs are constructed feels like they have represented a different genre of horror in every song. the whole album has been carefully built to sound chaotic and almost disjointed to emphasise the theatrical horror aspects. it's clever, fun, and delightfully crazy. the fact this came out in '73 before the satanic panic is so cool, and clearly influenced many of the artists of that period. alice cooper, you truly rock! ꩜ average track rating: 3.7/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): generation landslide, mary ann, hello hooray ꩜ least favourite track(s): unfinished sweet ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,062 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 14 (+1 Billion Dollar Babies) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 6 (+1 Billion Dollar Babies) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 21

album #28 pros: i enjoyed the genre blending aspects, and i do think more albums need to be comfortable with not fitting into a specific 'labelled' genre. cons: a lot of the album gives off a teen incel vibe, especially backseat love. that and pharrell is a rotten zionist so fuck off! ꩜ average track rating: 2.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): jump, drill sergeant ꩜ least favourite track(s): backseat love, wonderful place ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,061 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 14 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 6 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 22

album #29 for better or for worse, this sure is jazz. ꩜ average track rating: 2.6/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): bemsha swing ꩜ least favourite track(s): i surrender, dear ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,060 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 15 (+1 Brilliant Corners) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 6 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 23

album #30 LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!! this is such a fantastic album, solid from start to finish! it's fun and i am a huge fan of concept albums, so the story throughout is really appealing. extraordinary girl and she's a rebel are probably the weakest of the album, mostly because it feels more in line with their kerplunk! era. it's hugely nostalgic for me. i was 6 when this album was released; i remember listening to the cd in the car with my mum and watching the music videos on kerrang. great memories! fuck facism and, whilst we can always push this message further, i think green day's sincere (and ambitious) approach to their message is commendable, especially for 2004. 100% deserves it's place on the list, whether it's your scene or not. ꩜ average track rating: 4.2/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): jesus of suburbia, holiday, letterbomb ꩜ least favourite track(s): extraordinary girl ꩜ album rating: ★★★★★ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,059 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 16 (+1 American Idiot) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 7 (+1 American Idiot) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 23

album #31 full of whimsy, which earns major points from me. hard to believe sometimes that this came out in '69. beautifully composed, the symphonic elements bring me so much joy!! the baroque and medieval stylings really add to the narratives throughout and gives the album a fantastical, liminal feeling. ꩜ average track rating: 3.6/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): the court of the crimson king (i love you, "the dance of the puppets") ꩜ least favourite track(s): moonchild ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,058 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 17 (+1 In The Court of the Crimson King) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 8 (+1 In The Court of the Crimson King) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 23

album #32 i'd never heard of femi kuti before, and that's on me. this was fun, politically charge, groovy music. musically i do think it's a 4 but personal taste puts it at a 3, i think! also....i was looking up the lyrics to "changes" and felt like i was going insane because why do none of the lyric sheets include the last 2 and a half minutes of the song?! lmfao ꩜ average track rating: 3.0/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): survival, plenty nonsense ꩜ least favourite track(s): nawa ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,057 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 20 (I recounted lol as I wasn't tracking this at the beginning. +1 Femi Kuti) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 8 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 24

album #33 i really wanted to enjoy this album, as i like a lot of CS&N but unfortunately, the album just did not click with me. i tried x3 times and can't say i enjoyed it any more on consecutive listens. sorry young, i might like old more. part of it, i think, is because a lot of it feels same-y and forgettable. if you told me it tracks 5 to 8 were the same song in different fonts, i can't say i wouldn't believe you. i do like the lyricism, though, and the solo in "After the Gold Rush" is very pretty. young does well to present a melancholic album with undertones of frustration and nostalgia. note: it's hilarious that southern man made lynyrd skynyrd so mad that they wrote sweet home, alabama. respect lol. ꩜ average track rating: 2.1/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): cripple creek fairy, after the gold rush ꩜ least favourite track(s): till the morning comes, birds ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,056 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 20 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 8 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 25

album #34 hugely influential album!! biggest issue is that the second half of the album drags a bit, barring "express yourself". criticism of violent misogyny within the second half is understandable, but if you only criticise black men for this then you are simply racist. keep that energy up for bob dylan and other white men with guitars, okay? ꩜ average track rating: 2.6/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): express yourself, fuck da police ꩜ least favourite track(s): i ain't tha 1, dopeman ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,055 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 21 (+1 Straight Outta Compton) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 8 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 26

album #35 the backing instrumentals on every song are strong and, to me, are very colourful providing a perfect springboard for albarn. the whole album is incredibly fun and feels like a british summer personified; it's a great nineties album that truly stands the test of time! i also thoroughly enjoy how much britpop pisses off americans. it's delightful. ꩜ average track rating: 3.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): girls & boys, to the end ꩜ least favourite track(s): bank holiday ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,054 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 22 (+1 Parklife) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 (+1 Parklife) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 26

album #36 pros: this album is fantastically produced and clearly a huge influence on ensuing rap albums. it's got interesting lyrical storytelling, with some sick features. the sampling throughout the album is great fun, especially the beginning of "wu-gambinos". cons: this album suffers the fate of many 90s albums - it's too bloated, which reduces it's impact a bit especially since the second half is so strong. some of the references are also a bit lost on me, but i think this is more because i'm not from the US lol. neither pro nor con: the second half of the album is by far my favourite and feels the strongest, execution-wise. i can understand why the first half is there, but boy the b-sides are *so* strong. i feel this is an album you need to listen to more than once to fully appreciate. overall, it's a good album that deserves its place on the list but just isn't my taste as much. ꩜ average track rating: 2.7/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): ice water, wu-gambinos, wisdom body ꩜ least favourite track(s): the skits ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,053 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 23 (+1 Only Bult 4 Cuban Linx) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 27

album #37 ok, initially i was going to rate this 3/5. however, on sitting with it and realising i remember barely any of it despite 3 listens....well. you know. this album has some really good tracks, but the middle just blurs together in a way that feels quite empty. i wanted to like it, it has a lot of elements i adore, but it simply did not click for me. ꩜ favourite track(s): just like honey, the hardest walk ꩜ least favourite track(s): in a hole ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,052 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 23 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 28

album #38 okay so, i didn't actually hate this. it's got a clear idea of what it wants to be, though i must admit i'm not sure what that is. i think it's a unique list entry which is what i'm here for! i'm glad i heard this before i died. it did, at points, make me think i was going to shit myself though. industrial is the new brown noise? would i listen again? probably not. but i've heard worse, and it doesn't deserve to be rated as lowly as it is, especially when nico the nazi is on the list. ꩜ average track rating: 1.8/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): kollaps, negativ nein ꩜ least favourite track(s): u-haft-muzak, schmerzen hören ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,051 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 24 (+1 Kollaps) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 29

album #39 aladdin sane (song) was so progressive by having a toddler absolutely decimate a piano throughout! how abysmal! this album is....fine? i liked three songs, and that's it. not every bowie album needs to be on here, and i certainly think this album is undeserving of it's place on the list. ꩜ average track rating: 2.5/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): time, drive-in saturday ꩜ least favourite track(s): watch that man, jean genie, aladdin sane ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,050 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 24 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 30

album #40 definitely enjoyed this more than LA Woman. Some real fun moments throughout, and the vocals in maggie m'gill are pretty cool. as i said with LA woman, there is simply better blues rock out there. jim morrison is very clearly carried by the musicians he surrounds himself with, and you could easily replace him and there would be little difference. i liked some of it, but i do not think this deserves its place on the list! ꩜ average track rating: 2.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): roadhouse blues, maggie m'gill ꩜ least favourite track(s): indian summer, the spy ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,049 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 24 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 31

album #42 the first song rocked, and her voice was beautiful. unfortunately, nanci then made the bold decision to animorph herself into a warbler bird. ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,047 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 25 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 33

album #43 unfortunately this 'supergroup' got so lost up their own arses they forgot what makes an album interesting. also, as someone from the UK i am sick to bastard death of hearing about london. ꩜ average track rating: 2.6/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): the good, the bad, and the queen ꩜ least favourite track(s): the bunting song, history song ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,046 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 25 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 34

album #45 boy oh boy do i *love* a juicy bassline! the beautiful mix of rnb and disco is so delicious; i think this album has aged wonderfully. ꩜ average track rating: 3.7/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): he's the greatest dancer, thinking of you, we are family ꩜ least favourite track(s): easier to love ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,044 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 27 (+1 We Are Family) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 10 (+1 We Are Family) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 35

album #46 what fresh hell am i living in that morrissey is on this list. fuck you. (in all seriousness, this album is dull as dishwater. the instrumentals are repetitive and his voice combined makes the experience disgustingly jarring. Morrissey is making a desperate attempt to distance himself from the smiths, and appear cool and/or relevant. he fails magnificently on all fronts.) ꩜ average track rating: 0.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): none lol. shove ya pretentious drivel up yer arse. ꩜ least favourite track(s): we'll let you know, you're the one for me fatty ꩜ album rating: ⯪☆☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,043 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 27 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 10 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 36

album #47 a beautifully constructed album filled with elegance and whimsical grandiosity! i can understand how this album may feel boring and/or hard to get into, but i personally love a lot of it! the brass sections, harmonies, and the swelling of instrumentals throughout (i'm looking at you Predatory Wasp of the Palisades) :) this album had a huge influence on the folk scene, especially in queer communities! it's not 5 stars for me, but incredible nevertheless. my critiques mostly centre on the length and/or some of the songs being too similar. ꩜ average track rating: 3.3/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): predatory wasp of the palisades, decatur, john wayne gacy jr. ꩜ least favourite track(s): night zombies ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,042 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 28 (+1 Illinois) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 11 (+1 Illinois) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 36

album #48 When I started this project/challenge with my partner, this is moreso what I was expecting! Music that you wouldn't necessarily hear in the mainstream as often, but is worth hearing before you die. I think this list definitely suffers from too much Western (specifically UK/US) influence, and oft tries to offset this in a terribly unsubtle way. You shouldn't have 500 Morrissey albums and then such a small amount of music from any country that doesn't speak English...! Just saying lol. It's a difficult undertaking, to make a list such as this, but sometimes it feels a touch sloppy and lacking in diversity (from a genre, language, year, and country perspective). It well displays the systemic exclusion of non-white, LGBTQ+, and non-western music which is sad. Maybe they should have renamed the list, I don't know. Again, I respect it's a hard balance and I'm enjoying the project and that it's exposing me to music I haven't heard before (such as this album!), but I think it's also important to explore the issues with this list and what could be improved upon. We need to stop giving white men the microphone on music opinions LMAO. Either way, I'm glad the list exists because it means i can partake in this fun little project and also because it allows for these conversations! :) ꩜ average track rating: 2.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): yibo labo, unomathemba ꩜ least favourite track(s): hello my baby ꩜ album rating: ★★⯪☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,041 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 29 (+1 Shaka Zulu) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 11 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 37

album #49 bit disappointed, to be honest! felt very two dimensional in comparison to their other works. if you like bass in your metal, I would avoid this. enjoyed it a bit, but not enough. ꩜ favourite track(s): to live is to die ꩜ least favourite track(s): ...and justice for all ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,040 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 29 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 11 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 38

album #54 thank you David Bowie for creating Changes so that it could be covered by Butterfly Boucher for Shrek 2. it's a banging album; there is likely to be a Bowie album for everyone - this one is definitely more my speed. that being said, i don't think there needed to be songs on the album dedicated to warhol/reed/dylan - their egos were big enough lol. ꩜ average track rating: 2.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): changes, life on mars? ꩜ least favourite track(s): eight line poem, song for bob dylan ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,035 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 30 (+1 Hunky Dory) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 11 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 43

album #55 whilst it's a 4★ for me, it is definitely a 5★ debut album. janelle monáe is an artist through and through, and her work is incredibly deserving of its place on this list. this album is unique, grandiose, and fantastically crafted! i love the storied aspects throughout - the way every track works together to make this beautiful, alice-in-scifiland painting. i love janelle monáe, and this has only encouraged that! ꩜ average track rating: 3.7/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): cold war, come alive, mushrooms &roses ꩜ least favourite track(s): say you'll go ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,034 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 31 (+1 The ArchAndroid) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 12 (+1 The ArchAndroid) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 43

album #63 i can see how this eventually influenced some of punk rock, to be fair! it holds up well as an album, and i appreciate its weirdness. that being said, lots of the songs were too similar or just plain not my thing. ꩜ average track rating: 2.2/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): monk time, blast off ꩜ least favourite track(s): we do wie du, higgle-dy-piggle-dy ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,026 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 31 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 12 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 51

album #64 a truly timeless album; the guitar feels almost buttery in how she plays. a really lovely album and well crafted! tracy's voice is ethereal and smooth and oh so warm. it's also gut wrenching in many ways, not least because of the lack of change since this album was released. ꩜ average track rating: 3.8/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): mountains o' things, why ꩜ least favourite track(s): baby can i hold you ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,025 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 32 (+1 Tracy Chapman) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 13 (+1 Tracy Chapman) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 51

album #67 this helped me learn more about dusty Springfield; i didn't know she was english, nor did i know she was gay. gotta love the representation, hell yeah ms. dusty! anyways, you can tell she had fun making this album which i appreciate and i enjoy the cosiness of it! the B-sides let it down more, though. ꩜ average track rating: 2.5/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): son of a preacher man (4★), don't forget about me (4★) ꩜ least favourite track(s): in the land of make believe (1★) ꩜ album rating: ★★⯪☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,022 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 33 (+1 Dusty in Memphis) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 13 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 54

album #68 something i enjoy about this project is that it demonstrates that just because something is popular doesn't make it good and vice versa. with an average rating of approximately 2.5, i cannot articulate how much i loathe everyone that is rating this lower than chelsea girls. please, together we can make it the lowest rated album on this list. use your power xoxoxo anyways, this album is really cool and i enjoy how well the sound holds up. i find that it's mixing is a bit off putting, but otherwise it's a cool album that has a clear influence. ꩜ average track rating: 2.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): paperhouse, halleluhwah ꩜ least favourite track(s): oh yeah ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,021 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 34 (+1 Tago Mago) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 13 or 14 (i think i would consider this but i'm not sure LOL) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 54 (or 55 depending)

album #73 i know that i like some of dire straits' stuff, but this album is not one of them. i adore their instrumentation, but the singing on this album just does not do it for me. i also think their other albums are more influential/required listening than this one. ꩜ average track rating: 2.5/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): down to the waterline ꩜ least favourite track(s): water of love ꩜ album rating: ★★⯪☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,016 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 35 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 14 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 59

album #74 the best song on this album is the one where they let ringo out of his cage to sing a little ditty. the worst song is where lennon admits to beating women. this album is pretentious, it always has been. the reason the beatles exploded was not solely because of their musical ability, it was also what and who they represented. i do not like the beatles, but i also don't deny the influence. ꩜ average track rating: 2.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): with a little help from my friends ꩜ least favourite track(s): getting better, good morning good morning ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,015 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 36 (+1 Sgt.

album #76 this is a great album to have on a CD and just let play whilst hanging out with friends. it takes it's sweet time, in a gentle way. not all of it is my thing in terms of active listening, but i can't deny that i would still enjoy having it on in the background. i would have liked it to be shorter, but i respect the choice. brimful of asha, and it's remix, are beautiful indie pop perfection. ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,013 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 36 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 15 (+1 When I was Born for the 7th time) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 60
