1001 Albums Summary

Was never exposed to Velvet Underground, first time hearing this album, liked it a lot, reminded me of smooth Beatles

Depressing. Not for me

Was always a fan of Bowie, this album not so much

Tiny Dancer and Levon are deep in my memory, the rest of the album, not so much. Will always be a sucker for piano. Did not know Rick Wakeman played organ on Rotten Peaches, The best start somewhere.

Three member band of bass, electric guitar and drums. Little Wing and Castles made of Sand stand out. Mitch Mitchell ranked 8 out of 100 best drummers, no doubt. Noel Redding on bass, impressive. Hendrix, well, Hendrix had a style like no other, though I liked Are You Experienced way better. Still remember the day he died, driving around on a Sunday, so high, so sad.

Love the One You're With is the best song on this album, though many of the others are very good, simply because they are electric guitar, bass, keyboard and drums, clearly defined, distinct, not ugly noise like some of the albums of 1001 albums .. Stephen Stills was best with Crosby, Nash and Young, but there were feuds and power plays going on. Still, for not having heard this album from 1970 back then, I heard it now and liked most of it.

One of my favorite albums, along with Bare Trees. Classic rock

Recognized one song, the rest was new to me. Wasn't crazy about it

Smooth, easy listening, never heard of this band but I was pleasantly surprised.

First time hearing this band, really liked the album. Vocals reminded me of Mick Jagger on a couple songs, tight guitar, reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, so many sounds, multiple instruments, hypnotizing beats, moving chorals. Impressive

Liked the Pyramid Song for the piano, Amnesiac for the percussion, and Life in a Glasshouse for the horns, piano, real music, not synthesized to death like the rest of the album. The whiny, flat, off key vocals were depressing and just plain irritating.

Tried to like this album, hoped every song would be better than the last. Was disappointed. Finally liked the last one, Shortcomings. Too much synthesized noise. Boring vocals with no range, sounded like the same 2 alternating notes were sung, no melody whatsoever. Only real instrument I could hear were drums and they were excellently played. Keyboards were heard a few times. Give me my 45 minutes back.

Though jazz has never been a favorite genre of mine, I was aware of this album's critical acclaim among those who appreciate it. I finally heard this album after all these years. For me, it's the connection to John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra that's meaningful. I can hear and appreciate the snippets throughout that influenced Inner Mounting Flame, and Birds of Fire. Miles Davis galvanized the movement of fusing rock and jazz.

Vocals are gutteral screaming, guitars and drums are skilled. Sounds like a neo Nazi hate rally. Not for me. The reviews do not disappoint!

I really liked this, having never heard it before'--solid guitar, bass, drums, vocals. After listening to that garbage sh*t yesterday, (napalm death/scum) this was like Yeah!

Tried to like this, just, nope.

This album won a Grammy, who knew. I didn't like every song but liked most of them. I look forward to hearing more Prince albums on this site.
