1001 Albums Summary

I only knew the radio songs (Young Americans and Fame) before listening. The rest was good too. There was an unexpected Beatles cover (Across the Universe), which was fun.

I had never heard of these guys. It was relaxing and pleasant. I could listen for sure while working on something. Maybe a bit on the boring side, though.

It all sounds good, maybe not my genre.

This is great listening

Good, would listen again.

Classic. Smiths are a bit melodramatic for me, but I can listen to this album.

This was good latin fun.

This is a good album, maybe a great one. I have a hard time with all the explicit lyrics though. It's too frequent for my sensistive ears.

I used to listed to this one regularly. Thanks for reminding me that it had been a while. Great album, but I think everyone already knows that.

Good. I've always wondered why these guys fell from favor. Their music is very listenable rock.

I don't understand Steely Dan. There are some clever lyrics, but this isn't something I need to hear again.

It's just okay. Probably won't listen to this again.

This album...it's overrated. Other 90s grunge has aged well (Pearl Jam), but Alice in Chains just feels dated now. It's not as strong musically or lyrically as the timeless albums on the list. I think it's okay to forget this album.

Absolute classic. Peace Frog.

This is good. Easy to listen to while working. Good backgroun music.

Good, fun. Not sure I can listen over and over again.

Just okay. There's a lot of punk I'd rather listen to.

I listened, but I was distracted. Nothing really jumped out at me. Sorry, Peter.

Wiiiiiiild Horses couldn't drag me away from this album. Every song.

It's Radiohead, so it's pretty great. But this is not my favorite Radiohead album. When I get a Tier 2 album from a great band, it makes me wonder of all the tier 1 albums from that band are also on the 1001 list.

Pretty good. Famous songs, pop. Nothing other than the well known songs jumps out.

Pretty good!

Pretty good, tiny bit of jazz in here with hip hop

I really enjoyed this one.

Great sound on this album.

Just empty pop, it's fine as background music. But nothing really special going on here.

Fine. Easy listen, not much meat on the bone.

Solid rock album.

Great double album.

You go through these with a bunch of 3-4 star albums, and then you hit something like this that blows them away.

Fun to hear a previously unknown singer songwriter. Pretty good. I will likely never listen to it again though.

Pretty smooth, soft, samba. Nothing extraordinary, but it's pleasant enough.

This album rocks.

This was much better than expected. I only knew the radio song, but the whole album rocks.

Obviously an all timer.

This is probably the worst album suggested so far. Nothing really stands out musically or lyrically.

Great album all the way through.

What an album! This is great as background, work music, and it's also great as something to focus on. Brilliant.

Obviously an all-timer.

Pretty basic, generic rock and roll. Nothing really jumps out, but it's certainly easy and enjoyable.

This was fine but not special.

A few mediocre radio songs and a bunch of filler, all with a poser vibe.

This is what I signed up for. New album for me, very good.

The King! It's great stuff.

It's okay. Drags quite a bit with occasional bangers.

Sounds a lot like Morrissey, which is okay.

Fine.

Great covers all over the album. Loved respect, satisfaction, etc.

I really wanted to like this more, but it's just okay. You hear stuff from the Kinks and think they are just a hair behind the Beatles or Stones, but then you get into their albums and see they are actually quite far behind.

It's okay, but it's so long, and a lot of it you just want to skip.

I'd give it 5 stars if not for the overabundance of explicit lyrics.

Easy, enjoyable.

Solid, a bit one note.

Punk is good. I didn't know the Adverts, but they rock

I like punk, but this is so one-note. Just hard loud punk. It's okay.

Nick Cave, so intense.

I keep trying, but I don't like anything else as much as OK Computer or The Bends. There just isn't enough melody in the rest of it all.

All timer, great sound, great guitar adn vocals.

In the running for greatest album of all time, clearly 5*

Good

This got old pretty fast

Love the talking heads, love this album.

Two amazing songs and some filler. Good filler, and the two songs are classics. So 4*.

Never listened to them before. They sound great.

Love it. Giving it 4 instead of 5 for the unfortunately aged second track.

I had never heard of them, but this was great.

Great album, and I don't even love this band.

Just a little boring musically and lyrically.

Every song on this album is great.

A supergroup! Love it.

Everything to like, nothing to dislike on this album.

Obviously 5*. A different score here should be disqualifying.

Solid all the way through.

Always loved this album

Best Lennon solo album...probably.

This was okay. Nothing spectacular, a bit repetitive.

I enjoyed it. Nothing really stands out.

Pretty great album with a few dull tracks.

Very good, like always, I wish it didn't have the explicit lyrics.

This is great. Overshadowed and forgotten because of better alt rock, but it's still a really nice album.

Rather sleepy dance music. Not sure why I'd choose this over other dance music that is better.

Great stuff

Easy to make a case for this as the greatest album of all time.

It was good, I could listen again.

Supergroup! RIP Dolly. Great voices, easy country sound.

Mostly great songs.

Good Smiths album, similar to the others.

Liked it.

Classic, one of the best for this genre of hair metal, glam rock, whatever it's called. -1 star for Hot for Teacher, which is just too hard to listen to.

It was fine.

Love it, all the long instrumentals/intros are great.

Good

All time great album. Every track is top rate.

I found it just okay.

Wow, unique voice.

It was fine, but it didn't seem special. Not sure why it was included here. Maybe I missed something.

Good tracks but some filler too.

I love Dolly's voice. Could listen all day. But this album is full of just okay songs.

Good eclectic sound.

It's nice, smooth, easy to listen to, and a tiny bit boring.

Surprisingly boring for a latin album on this list.

It’s all very one note.

Great album. I'm not a huge U2 guy, but this album is beautiful throughout. Also, my first high school slow dance (the Christmas Dance) was to With or Without You. Good times.

DIdn't know this, but I like it.
