1001 Albums Summary

Essential Doors. Not my favourite of theirs, but a great summer album.

I remember this album but it was never one of my go to records.

Love early Beatles.

Leonard's last album. Although I listened to it extensively when it came out, I never bought it. Worthy finale to an incredible opus.

Sadly this album doesn’t seem to be available on the streaming services. Only found it on YouTube. Fantastic. Best Funk I've ever heard.

Ella has one of the greatest voices ever.

Surprised to see Rufus on this list. Proud Canadian. Excellent quality not too memorable for me.

OMG One of my desert island discs. Love love love.

This is the first REM I ever heard. They changed the world one college radio station at a time.

Didn’t know this album but it’s very well crafted.

Came to country later in my musical journey but man Willie makes it easy to love. Beautiful album.

Already know this is a great album. But isn't it called "The Psychedelic Sounds of..."?

Classic intro to the Talking Heads.

Ultimate psychedelic guitar jams.

May be Iggy’s best solo album.

Only knew Sultans of Swing. Solid album.

Fantastic. One of most complete recordings. Indispensable.

Well crafted but not really my bag.

Great album bought it the day it came out.

Great early 2000s revivalist garage rock infused with heavier modern elements.

Wow this is a pleasant surprise. I've seen these guys live a couple of times. One of the best live acts of the last 15 years.

Better than I remember.

Interesting ambient.

First Radiohead album I bought. I guess I already knew "creep" but this disc was a revelation. Great video for High and Dry too.

Familiar with this album but haven't listened to it lately. Looking forward to it.

Solid album but I prefer their earlier more raw stuff.

80s memories.

Fine example of classic punk with poorly played instruments.

High quality but a bit on the country side for me.

A revelation for me. Jumping swing!

Know this one well.

Great great jazz album. A revelation for me.

An early classic from the best band of their genre and era.

Never a big fan. Some fun psych jams but overall pretty meh.

Of its time. She’s got a great voice.

Some great moments if not their best album.

Almost a comeback album. Great Patti Smith references

A bit repetitive but I give these guys extra points for an “epic” early hip hop thrash crossover. 1989!

This album was HUUUUGE in Montreal when I was very young. Stands up.

Wore this record out when it came out. One of my favourite album when I want to go to the dark side.

Don’t know much about Tango but really enjoyed this.

Classic album. Great debut for a band that transcended grunge.

Who is this guy Jeff Buckley’s older brother or something? Quite good actually.

A bit smooth for me.

I just love this album. That is all.

Don't know them but interesting on first listen.

That's some old school hip hop.

Of course I knew and appreciated Janis Jopling from a pretty young age, but went deep with this album a few years ago, and wow is it ever good.

The sound of 2001.

Hmmmm

Great album.

Have this on original vinyl from the late 80s.

Good but not her best.

A bit morose for my taste but well done.

Iconic 80s

Love this. Clearly an ancestor of Buena Vista Social Club and Afro Cuban All Stars.

One of his better albums. A bridge from the heavier more punk rock stuff to more atmospheric stuff like Murder Ballads.

Great early 2000s angular rock. Best of the era.

Classic album.
