1001 Albums Summary

Only has 1 good song the rest are very average and one definitely did not age well.

One of the best, but in my opinion not the best Beatles Albums, definitely needs to be heard at least once if not multiple times in your life.

In 1995 I was 17 entering my senior year in high school and I cannot explain how much of an impact it made on every single girl at my school. We played this CD full blast until it was so scratched it skipped. My first beater car's radio did not work so I had a boom box in my car that all the passengers in my car passed around skipping songs and screaming our heads off singing along to this CD. To say this CD is nostalgic for me is an understatement, it's a time capsule of a moment in my life that shaped who I was becoming. Is it the greatest album on this list? No. Is it dated? Yes. Did it have a cultural impact? Absolutely fucking yes. For that reason I can never give it less than 5 stars

Served best with a joint

Country music what happened to you? This is a beautiful wistful look at Americana, a far cry from the souless dreck that dominates modern country radio. When did you trade your authenticity to be generic pop crap that sounds like it was written by the Swedes? I thought I hated country music, because most of my exposure was post 1995 radio garbage. This album made me want to get iny car and drive across America with the windows down and the wind in my hair.

Maxwell is not responsible for the increase of partner's sex appeal while listening to this album. Maxwell cannot be held responsible for the following: broken beds, pregnancy, missed phone calls, or torn clothing.

Is this an album you should listen to at least once before you die? Yes and you should listen to in order like you just opened the record and put it on your turn table for the first time. Groundbreaking for the time and highly influential. I may have individual taste issues with some of the songs, that does not take from the fact this deserves to be here and is an easy 5

If you are going to listen to a song about a shipwreck, don't listen to Odessa. There are better options. I could have lived my entire life happy and content believing the Bee Gees never released an album prior to 1974. This was terrible.

Gotta Have that Funk

I keep waiting for the Rolling Stones to win me over, this album did not do it. It's fine but like everything I hear there is one decent song and a lot of filler.
