1001 Albums Summary

Experimental, avant garde album. Not my favorite, can’t think of a situation where I would want to listen to it.

Excellent album! PJ is the 50 foot Queenie!

Good album. A mix of upbeat songs with ballads. Basic song construction throughout the album.

Quintessential 80’s college radio album. I had always heard of the album but only knew Radio Free Europe from it. Whole album was a great listen. You can see why they were the fore front of Alternative Rock.

British indie hip hop, interesting fusion and good music by the Blur front man. Not a woo hoo album, but some solid songs.

Absolutely love this album! Great songs from start to finish. Game changing album for Metallica, they redefined heavy metal with this album.

Wow, only knew one song from these guys but this album kicked arse! Definitely adding the Arctic Monkeys to my playlists.

A chaotic mix of all genres from the 1960’s. The first few tracks were cool, psychedelic rock. The other tracks were odd ball mix of ballads and folky songs.

I like Ride. My mate Russdog in Texas burned me a CD years ago. That was Going Blank Again, which is a great album. Nowhere is Ride with far less polish, raw emo-shoe gaze. Not nearly as strong as their follow up.

Started off strong as hell with classic punk tracks. Maps is a great tune. The end of album slowed right on down, winding to indie rock. Good songs all throughout but as an album, it seems to lose its way.

I have never been a big fan of the Beatles, being more inclined to heavy metal and punk rock. However, the White album has a lot of very good tunes. I could do without the Bungalow Bill song though. Overall, I can see why this album is considered one of the greatest.

Classic rock, Eddie’s guitar wizardry is phenomenal. Not sure what the deal was Ice Cream Man, but great tunes up and down this album.

Good album, consistent sound and good energy. Always heard of the band but never listened to them. Enjoyable and when the album finished, shuffled on to Fugazi. Nice!

Disappointing album, not at all what Deep Purple we’re about. Lacked groove.

Classic blues rock. Some great hits on this album.

Absolute masterpiece!! Funky, punky, rocking and grooving. Great music up and down the album.

Classic album, cover to cover. My older brothers has this on 8 track tape. Lots of good memories listening to it.

Yawn. A few ok tracks, but overall this is a snooze fest for me. Sappy lyrics, basic music, good harmonies if that’s your thing. Not mine.

I’m not a huge fan of rap, particularly gangsta rap. I found some cool vibes on this album but it was hard to look past the misogyny and shameless self promotion.

Good album. Raw, garage style indie rock. Not surprisingly, I learned that one of the members plays with Dinosaur Jr. I liked the innovative sound and energy of this album.

One of the best albums from these metal giants. Solid tracks from start to finish. It was One that turned me on to Metallica. The song just shreads.

Good jazz, I wouldn’t say smooth. Seemed unpolished, in a sense. Still, a good album.

A little rap, a little indie, a Little Rock but not enough of any of that. Started strong, ended weak.

How have I not heard of Sugar before? This album is alt rock gold standard stuff. I will be listening to more from Sugar.

Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early indie, very raw and unproduced. A Forest is a stand out on this album. Much of the other songs have similar format, moody guitar and lyrics with simple drumming. Good listen nonetheless.

Starts good and funky, ends rather flat. Other than a few good tracks, I found this album boring.

Experimental rock with groove, four tracks, 40 minutes, epic!!

Alright album, sounds like the White album but

Absolute 80’s crap

Great salsa album, very well performed.

Fantastic album! I reckon it is Radiohead's best album.

Standard Brit Pop album, not bad. Deep undertones of Beatles influence.

Whinging Brit Pop, devoid of originality. It’s a wonderwall they made it famous.

Why is an album of cafe dance mix tape on a list of 1001 albums you must listen to before you die? 🙄

Good mix of indie pop, very enjoyable

Great mix of blues rock. Jack White has the X factor.

Great mix of blues rock with African vocals. Really enjoyed this album.

Another indie rock album. It was alright, not sure if it needed to be in the top 1001 albums though.

If it wasn’t for Tainted Love, this album would be a 1. Feels like a high school musical written and produced by a Sophomore who’s ideas outweigh their talent.

He is the godfather of soul for a reason. You can feel his energy through the speakers.

You can hear that transition from punk to new wave happening here. More artistic than the pistols. Not as good as Second issue.
