1001 Albums Summary

Life on Mars, Changes are the shining stars on this album. But even the lesser known songs like Andy Warhol are great listening.

This was my first listen to this album. I am super familiar with the singles. But it was cool to listen to the entire album from cover to cover.

Great live album. Lots of classics.

I used to use to not be a Pretenders fan but after listening to this album I am still not a Pretenders fan.

Highway Star and Smoke on the Water were the only songs i was familiar with before listening to this album. Interesting album but not one I’d go back and listen to. I did go back and listen to HA and SOTW.

Listened to this twice. After the first listen I realized I didn’t give it enough attention. I put it on a speaker for the second listen and I got a better take on the album. I don’t always fully understand why Dylan is regarded so highly but at some level I can understand it.

I will say that Who's Next is carried by two (maybe three) songs tops. I don't think it's an extraordinary album.

Didn’t know many songs off this album. But I enjoyed listening to them

This album transported me back to a simpler time. I still fucking hate interludes though.

This takes me back to my early 20’s. This was an album that always went well with a workout. May need to try that again.

This was the first time that I listened to a PIL album and I thought it was pretty good. I like it a bit more than the Sex Pistols actually. I think the song Low Life sounded a lot like a Pixies tune.

This was the first time that I listened to a PIL album and I thought it was pretty good. I like it a bit more than the Sex Pistols actually. I think the song Low Life sounded a lot like a Pixies tune.

This is what Radiohead would sound like if Bjork was the lead singer. And I don’t say this in a good way. This was a struggle to get through.

I enjoyed this album. Barbarism begins at home was probably my favorite off the album. Listened the the album twice.

Great album that always takes me back to a pivotal point in my life. I didn’t appreciate how great the album was at the time. I just knew I liked it.

This was a Beastie Boys album that flew under my radar when it came out. I owned Licensed to Ill and loved it but didn’t really know about this album until almost ten years after it came out. It could well be their best album.

Sucked

First time listening to an album from this band. I enjoyed it. I will probably check out more of their work. Album was pretty consistent style wise. Interested to see what the other albums are like.

I remember not liking the singles off this album because they sounded too polished. I’m glad I gave the whole album a listen. It was pretty good. Definitely polished but I don’t mind that now.

Fame is the only redeeming song for me on this album. Not a fan of the Philly solo on this album.

This album takes me back to the summer of 99. A great time in my life. As for the album I think I like a lot of the non singles more than the singles.

I had never listened to this album. I only knew a few songs off of it. But this album was exceptional. I really enjoyed it.

Mr Bluesky is the track for me on this album. Everything else was forgettable for me.

DNF - I still love Son Of A Preacherman but I couldn’t get into the rest of the album

I always enjoy this band when I hear them. But I’ve never listened to one of their albums all the way through. This was pretty good.

Wasn’t for me

Some classics on here that I forgot were CCR.

I don’t know anything about jazz but I enjoyed this album. It’s a perfect album to cook to

Didn’t really like this music

Didn’t like this enough to finish listening

I’ve listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel but this might be the first time I’ve listened to this album cover to cover. I enjoyed it driving with the windows down today.

Solid album by a band i only know by singles. Enjoyed the album but wasn’t blown away by it.

Ugh

Didn’t know much about this band prior to listening to this album. I enjoyed it and plan to check out more of their stuff. I really enjoyed the first track (on second listen) with Peter Buck on guitar.

I skipped ahead a lot on this album. It just wasn’t for me.

There was a time where I didn’t like the Rolling Stones at all. I’ve grown to like them and I enjoyed listening to this album for the first time.

There are a few tracks on here that really take me back to a time when I first remember paying attention to music. Time After Time is a track that always resonated with me and I enjoy it even more 40 years later. Overall i think the album is really solid too.

Pretty cool album. I’m more in love with the album artwork than the music itself though.

There were some interesting parts to the music but I didn’t enjoy the music overall

First time listening to this album. I’ve always loved New Jack Hustler but have always listened to it on the movie soundtrack. This album was pretty good though.

Great listening to this and Achtung Baby on a rainy Friday.

Always love listening to Nick Drake.

Seemed cool but I wasn’t in the mood for dance music

It surprised me how different The Verve and The Verve Pipe sound just a few years apart. I enjoyed this album. Wasn’t super familiar with it outside of the singles.

Four stars for the singles alone. The rest of the album was meh for me

This was way stranger than I was expecting.

Was not familiar with XTC outside of Peter Pumpkinhead. This was a departure from that song or vice versa. This music is heavily influenced by the Beatles in a good way.

First time listening to this band. First time hearing of this band. Enjoyed experiencing it. Going to check out their other stuff.

Cool songs. Overall the album was ok.

I really enjoyed the amount of Hammond B3 on this album

Like hanging out with an old friend

Never heard of this band before. Not terrible but I’m wondering why it’s on this list.

I didn’t get it

Where has Jurassic 5 been all my life?

Good listen

Classic

Not my favorite 2Pac album

Nope

Interesting album. Wasn’t blown away by it though.

Enjoyed this a lot. First time listening to this artist.

This was a really cool album. First time hearing of this artist

This album is a slow burn. Takes awhile to draw me in but finishes strong.

This sounded familiar in a good way. But I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to them before. Going to check more out from them.

Didn’t like most of this album.

Didn’t enjoy. Skipped around a lot.

Enjoyed this album. This is a style I never would have come across on my own.

My interest in the Doors has gone down a lot to the point I don’t even want to listen to them

Great band that I didn’t have a ton of exposure too. I can hear how influential they were to Kurt now.

Happy to have the chance to listen to this favorite any time. Nice hearing it the day after the Meatpuppets album was up.

I really want to like Tom Waits. I just can’t get into it.

Completely unfamiliar with this band. I found them interesting but nothing earth shattering.

I enjoyed most of this album.

Wish I could give zero stars. What the fuck was this album?

Liked this for the most part. Found myself skipping ahead a lot at the end. This is the end should have been the end of the album.

First time listening to this group and I was hooked right away. Took me back to the 90’s rave scene. Song of Life and Inspection are my favorite tracks.

I’ve been meaning to check Bahaus out for a long time. This was a great introduction to them. I enjoyed this album.

Cool album. Very timeless sound.

One of my favorite albums of the 00’s

Enjoyed this album. Had not listened to their early work before.

Tried to give this a fair shot. Between being over played on the radio in the 90’s and the vocals all sounding so similar I just don’t like this band.

This album/band grew on me. Wasn’t sure about the genre at first but ended up enjoying it. Reminds me a lot of King Gizzard.

Hard to dispute the technical mastery of some of this music. I’m not a huge fan of the genre but their talent shines through on this album

Chef

Classic

Enjoyed most of this album.

Somehow this album gets better and better with age

The bangers are always good. The rest of the album was meh

One of my favorites. Reminds me of Katherine.

DNF

Perfect. No notes

Love this album

I wasn’t sure about this album at first. But as it progressed I was more and more interested in the music and the band

Hadn’t heard this album before. Have been a fan of Traveling Without Moving and now I need to check out their full catalog.

Usually like the boss. Wasn’t feeling this album.

Not terrible. Just not in the mood

DNF

I enjoy Roxy Music generally, but this album was not like any of the later stuff of theirs that I was familiar with. Not a huge fan of this one.

Enjoyed listening to this while I worked.

Interesting band. Hadn’t heard them before. Reminds me of Peter Gabriel.

Torn on this one. I just wasn’t in the mood for it. But I can appreciate the song writing and composition.

Great fucking album

Too art school experimental for me

Good album. Has a raw live recorded sound to it.

First time listening to this band. Enjoyed most of it. Got a little bored towards the end.

Smooth jazz.

Haven’t listened to this in awhile. Great to listen to it cover to cover. Some really clever lyrics in this mostly political album. Buy a jingle, buy America.

Wasn’t familiar with this band. Reminded me of The Doors in some ways. Not a fan

I like the Stooges better than Iggy solo. But this is a good album.

Familiar with the singles. First time listening to them as an album. Really well orchestrated. Talented musicians at work here.

Wasn’t blown away. Chill album but it just seemed like one long song at times. All felt the same.

BB. The British Boss. Or BB for short.

I forget that I like the black crowes sometimes

Great album. I can’t think of a better album from Zeppelin

Duh

Too theatrical for me. Leans heavy on Brick. Also fuck Roger Waters.

There are some fucking long ass jams on this album. But they are great long jams.

Not my favorite Herbie but it was fun to listen to his early stuff.

Not a fan. Could not finish.

Rivers Cuomo does look just like Buddy Holly
