1001 Albums Summary

Can I give this a 0? Please.

4.5

Nope

3.5. enjoyable listen.

I'm not a big AC/DC fan but I know nearly all songs on this album. It is undeniably a classic album.

2.75. This started strong but as it went on it kept sounding very "same-y" and I was bored/annoyed by the end of it.

Amazing live recording of an amazing singer.

3.75

3.25. The score would be higher but the last three tracks are unnecessarily Christmas-y.

Meh... Too annoying to enjoy.

Keep on chooglin'

I enjoyed listening to this one quite a bit.

Plz stop

Fun, late 70s rock. Stellar debut album. Van Halen not Van Hagar!

This is easily a 5. A great band making great music. One of the best songs ever, Bohemian Rhapsody is on this so again, 5.

I'm starting to question what "great" music is...

20 years ago this would have been a 5... The older I get the more Thom Yorke's voice annoys me.

Oof... That was a rough listen.

The most overrated band of all time.

Solid album. Definitely not their best. Lacks the layers of sound that Brian Wilson and the Boys are known for

Boring. People who like this probably think mayo is spicy.

Extremely listen-to-able but boring R&B. Themes are very mature and explicit.

Not my jam

Classic.

I'll be listening to this again and again and again. Superb musicians and a great live recording. KING indeed.

Actually a 4.5/5. Stellar album but not The Band's best in my humble opinion.

2 stars because I'm assuming since it's on the list it's good for what it is but it isn't for me.

So pretentious. I typically really like "prog" but Yes has always been a "No" for me... More like a 2.7. I think it's Steve Howe that I don't like.

The production on this album is great.

Certified classic. No notes.

Reminds me of my childhood. My mom played this album A LOT.

Not for me. I'm sure it's good for what it is but vocal jazz is not something I like to listen to.

The album that launched a million shirts.

As someone who listens to quite a bit of artists influenced by "world music" I could appreciate this but I probably won't listen again.

I've never understood the love for NIN...

Sounds like generic R&B to me.

Not as good as Maggot Brain but still great.

3.75. I wore this CD out around 2002. It's a great listen and holds up very well

Nope

I didn't think I liked Wings... Maybe I do?

2.75. Snoop definitely is a good rapper with great flow, but the lyrics are what you would expect from a 19 year old

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this while imagining how much it probably scared the squares back in the 60s.

Solid hip hop album.

I can appreciate this album because of this impact it made on indie rock but I don't want to listen to it again. 2.5

Yea, no thanks.

2.75. I nearly fell asleep.

Delightfully weird. Would listen again many times.

Snoozefest. Boring mid-2000s polished indie rock.

3.75. Solid house cleaning music.

What am I missing? I've never heard a good Elvis Costello song. Someone please explain to me what I'm not getting with his music.

2.75. I had a buddy in college who got me into DJ Shadow. This was kinda nostalgic. Definitely something I could put on in the background to do chores/house work.

Pretty generic radio rock. I can't imagine it was ground breaking when it came out...

Please stop making me listen to this kind of music

4.75.

Maybe this was new and exciting at the time? Now it just sounds generic, like quite a bit in this list so far.

Inoffensive background music. 2.75

This is an album that's in my rotation. It's a classic.

Excruciating. Pretentious for the sake of being pretentious.

Inoffensive 90s adult pop-rock with a slight "americana" sound.

2.5 watered down raggea by white men.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Its loaded with some killer riffs and grooves. 3.5

3.5. This is a solid album but not my favorite of Dylan's. The older I get, the less impressed I am with his songwriting. I blame Dewey Cox for that.

3.5. some killer tracks on this one but overall it's hindered by the tracks that would have been cut.

Based on other Sonic Youth albums I've listened to, I wasn't looking forward to this but I actually enjoyed it.

More like No... Amiright?

I prefer Peter Gabriel's solo work but this was an enjoyable listen

I'm not a Neil Young fan but this album is really good.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and would definitely listen to it again. I love the way it was recorded to sound like it was performed in a small club. The lyrics are clever and a few made me chuckle. I've always stayed away from Tom Waits because I've never found his voice enjoyable to listen to but this album made me reconsider and I'll likely check out more of his albums now.

It all started to the same by the end. I remember when this album came out it got a lot of buzz and I never quite understood why. Very underwhelming. 2.5

There's a reason I've never heard of this band.

I've never heard anything from this creep that was worth listening to

4.25. This is a great debut album.

I fell asleep halfway through.

3.25. surely there are better Springsteen albums on this is list.

Top 15 album for me.

The Rolling Stones are boring.

Solid live album.

3.75

This album holds up extremely well. I wore this CD out in 2004 and kind of wish it had stayed in my rotation.

Pretty okay background music.

Some great songs on this album.

Almost too chill, really good though. 3.25

Still trying to figure out why people worship this guy.

Nice and chill but a little "samey" after a while. 3.5

2.75. better than most electronica on this list.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. 4.5

2.75. Inoffensive and listenable but nothing I would choose to listen to again

I can't believe I'm saying this but, this album is easy too overblown. It got a bit much to listen to

2.5. kinda boring.

Hard to rate this any higher than a 3 due to how downright inappropriate much of the content is. Hell of a rapper though.

So many songs on this album are close to being classics but they just miss the mark.

This album was note made for me.

Yet another example of a band/album that I don't get the hype for.

Fantastic album even if Plant's voice can get annoying after a while.

Bowie bores me.

Classic album with some of the best jazz players in history in the same room.

Meh, another album that was obviously not made for me.

Again, Plant's vocals tend to be grating after a few songs. The music itself is fantastic. Sometimes I wonder what they would sound like with a more reeled in singer ...

I'm sure this is great for R&B fans but it's not for me.

Another album that I'm sure is good for what it is but what it is isn't for me.

This album sounds like the interludes and segues on The Mars Volta's albums but instead of it being snipers it's an entire album.

I was that guy in college with the Bob Marley mosaic poster... 5/5

I thought I liked Lana del Ray but this sounded like one long song

I'd give this album a 6/5 if I could. It's one of the best "country" albums every recorded. The stories told personalize figures from the wild west better than any John Wayne movie or Louis Lamour novel ever could. Robbins' voice is as smooth as butter and in my humble opinion he is one of the most underrated artists of the era. I celebrate Robbins' entire, very lengthy, catalog so I may bit a bit biased.

Completely listenable. I imagine at least one of these songs raised some eyebrows back in the day
