1001 Albums Summary

Lots of interesting sounds and life. Just not my jam though

Oh George. This one never hooked me.

Good sounds in the songs but didn't go beyond that for me

I liked this more than their Eliminator album. The songs sounded more differenter from each other.

This was a groovy little carpet ride

Lot of these albums seem similar. Does the 1001 albums guy have 70's nostalgia? This was all 'meh' for me, except the epic outro in the last song, which bumped it from 2 to 2.49!

This is prob objectively a good album, just beyond my depth to truly appreciate

This was pretty good. Though not what I expected; I thought Bowie would be um, weirder. I did like in the title track the part where he beat the hell out of out of the piano for like 2 minutes. That was cool.

Apparently I'm a Janis Joplin fan

Couldn't get myself to pay attention to it

Eh alright - 3

Verrrry close to 5 for me

Man, The Doors has such a unique sound (cue keyboard).

I don't know what this is but I'm giving it a 2. And I cannot explain it but feel if I listened to it 10 more times I'd give it a 5.

Got dat discqo ball beat. I just ain't no huge disco fan.

If you play it at 1.5x speed it sounds like disco.

Good, but imho not the best of the Cure

Did not enjoy it much, but nice to hear what The Who sound like.

Diff Elvis than the Costello I expected. Not mind-blowingly my great, but I actually enjoyed it.

That journey was great and full of many adventures. Listened to twice in a row.

Sry

Get it, Aretha.

Same Dylan story: +++ for lyrics, --- for sound (sorry, Bob).

This was fresh all get out!

Not sure how this was super influential, esp in 1999, but I did like the earnest somewhat sad singing.

Got dat mm-funk.

A bit too zany 70/80's for me

The Zutons are groovy like crutons

This was pretty friggin weird and cool. Gotta let it seep in.

Strangely, this sounds like the sound of TV on the Radio.

Good ole Zed Leppelin.

Had some really interesting naturisticifical moments. But also lots of eh. Still neither of my two favorite songs of hers.

Plum good listenin'.

Neat brass. Just kinda liked other, more low-key jazz stuff more.

It's objectively better than a 2 but it all just sounded so much the same.

I liked the sounds of this band's groove du-wops more for some reason than others from this era.

Their songs start so strong. Then the singing and other things happen. It's like a cheese grater that takes in a perfectly good block of cheese and outputs eel guts.

IMHO something a little otherworldly about him. I.e. Corpus Christi: may not be your jam, but such a good performance. There's a Jimmy Eat World song with lyrics, "A song for a heart so big, God wouldn't let it live". Dunno if I agree or not, but makes you think about people who die too young.

This seems like it wanted to stand out, but just could not to me. Nifty splash blam bonk bazoom older rock, but it never bounced itself out of the box where I tend to put this genre of music.

This grew on me as I listened. Not a lot but a little. Seemed pretty relaxing and original.

IMHO this was one of the best albums ever. Basically every song is great from start to end.

Don't like this as much as -- I think -- some of his newer albums. But he has a pretty high floor for me. His music has unique feel and creativity.

I really like how much Janis Joplin gets after it.

Good zest.

70's noir action movie background music. Oh, it actually is a movie soundtrack. Making this a 1 to protest its inclusion, or at least, the fact it was included but no Bill Conti Rocky soundtracks were also included.

Sometimes I felt like I was listening to Dracula but kind of enjoyed it.

Can't deny I found it pretty good. Octopus's Garden and Here Comes the Sun pushed it higher for me but several others I found ho-hum.

Ehhhhhh. After 2-3 albums I still don't quite understand Bowie's genre.

Sisters of Mercy was really interesting! The rest was a decent audiobook (stole that joke from someone else).

This is true to what it is.

This is just plain good-spirited music. She can sing and most of the songs make a good feel. Unfortunately though a song played at the end, and I thought "hey this is their best one yet" but it was actually a diff artist (Hole).

Sadly it seems I am not a The Police fan.

Look, this album was really good.

Math rock meets Buckethead and I'm 1700% here for it.

Yeah alright, not too bad.

Super talented guy. Indian Sunset is an incredible song.

It was a-ight. I lack the depth to appreciate it more.

So pure. Really nice singing.

Tom Waits, what are you going on about? And why am I so intrigued the longer it goes on?

Just slightly too high on the zwonko-meter.

Classic. Pretty coo.

(Pasted from my other group. ) Listened to this in isolation a long run. It was, a lot. Eminem is amazing but I felt the sicko skits in this one were kinda overdone. I found myself craving -- I think -- some of his later stuff that has deeper themes.

This feels like the background music of the universe. Ever-permeating its pleasant good tunes into everyone's memories.

This was al-right. I don't think they could have picked an album to make me more baffled about criteria for this list.

To hell with it, I'm giving it a 5.
