1001 Albums Summary

Never a big fan of Lover Her Madly but most of the rest of the album is pure Doors gold with the exception of Hyacinth House. Overall an 8 / 10.

Not their best effort. 2 or 3 worthy songs surrounded by a lot of meh effort. Seemed like a band just trying to put something out to pay the bills while waiting for past inspiration to strike them. Usually love Radiohead but I can see now why this album slipped by me when it was released. Nothing truly noteworthy.

Given the genre and time period this is an excellent album. Even for those not typically appreciative of 60's woman solo music Dusty is extremely talented and the songs on this album hold up well over 50 years later.

This is a hidden gem that somehow I missed when it came out in 1989. I am definitely going to follow up with the rest of their collection to see if they continued creating such great alternative rock with sounds along the lines of Indigo Girls or The Charlatans or The Smiths. My first 5 star review.

A good album but always felt too pop oriented for my taste. 4 stars and still worth listening too but not all time great even for the pumpkins.

An overall good album though there seems to be some desire to be similar to early Bruce Springsteen. Worth a listen but not a classic in my opinion.

Wow, how this woman won a Grammy for R&B is beyond me. While I am sure there is a market for this toxic femininity I wouldn't want to listen to a man sing about how much he blames woman for his problems either. Beyond the ignorant lyrics is bland music ripped off of Luther Vandross and Whitney Houston albums of the 80s and 90s. This one can go straight in the trash along with any money people may have spent on it. Definitely could have lived my life without listening to this drivel. My first 1 star rating and very well deserved. :(

a joyful trek back to the 70s/80s hair metal bands like Tesla, Cinderella that is just a fun time where concerts were fun and didn't cost a months salary. :) I also learned that Quiet Riot used this bands material to jump start their careers. I wasn't aware of Slade in my youth but if I had been they would've been in heavy rotation annoying my parents through my closed bedroom door without a doubt. Listen and just enjoy. Don't expect philosophical revelations just rock enjoyment from the decades of decadence.

This is not worth the time if you are a true jazz fan. The music is relaxing and ok but there is nothing earth shaking about the compilations. Definitely not something I needed to listen to before I die. Much more impressive jazz musicians should have made this list.
