1001 Albums Summary

Fine, a little too rambly at parts and some really weak songs in the middle that are either actively grating or go nowhere. The End is great.

Keith Moon is doing insane things on the drums with this album, just unbelievable stuff. Baba O'Riley is in contention for greatest songs of all time.

Solid but not Elliott at his best. Feels to me like it trails off as it goes along, or at least I get a little less interested than I was at the start.

Such a beautifully composed and crafted album. RIP Nick Drake

Fine, I don't think I really get PJ Harvey

BB King is great live, who knew?

Frank Zappa and his fellas, those are some folks I'll tell ya what

It's Dark Side of the Moon for sure. I mean it's good.

Some great songs on here

Fine album, first and last tracks are great but the rest is kinda filler.

Solid good fun, very gothic. The solid good fun was sarcastic.

This album rules

Shout out Emmylou Harris

Great songs, few flaws

ROCK LOBSTAH

Better than I expected, very pleasant and progressive sounds

First really experimental album here, pretty good for that.

bleh

Great natural flow to it

Fun metal album, easy to listen to and enjoy.

Better as it went along

The only Gorillaz album on this list is this???

Probably the most important album for setting the sound of the 90s, so much popular music was using this blueprint

We have bob dylan at home

Pete Shelley might be the GOAT punk guitarist

High highs and low lows, there's probably a GOAT album in here somewhere

What a miserable album

Pretty decent but feels like a weird selection for this list

The duke

Frank Sinatra good

ooh yeah baby

Mid except for California Dreamin'

Classic and somehow underrated

A couple great songs and a lotta filler

Peak jazz?

Starts great but each song I like a little less than the rest.

Forgot about this album very shortly after I heard it

Banger of an album, love the Irish folk punk thing

ANOHNI

Good Cure album but not their best

Good album

Fine but not the best late 2010s/early 2020s neo-soul representation that could be found out there.

One of the greatest albums ever made

Very good live album, Muddy Waters is killing it

Very pleasant surprise, really enjoyed this

Not a fan, doesn't really work for me outside of Blinded By The Lights. I can see the vision but I really don't like a lot of the beats.

It's fine

wow this Jimi Hendrix guy is pretty good at playing guitar

Not their best

I CAN'T LIIIIIIIIIIIVE IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOUUUUUUU

Love the guitar on this one

The Kinks are quite good and an underrated band

I want to know more about Sgt Pepper

Groovy

Slow but pleasant

Why is this on the list?

Not Radiohead's best but it's a high floor album

Solid but doesn't blow my mind, there are a lot better Madonna albums than this to me.

Not something I was into, felt unpolished in a not great way

Not really into this one but it's good for what it is

Underwhelming but solid

Waterloo Sunset one of the GOAT tracks

Better than I remember

Johnny Cash is so cool

Pretty good, like the strongest 3 star

Kanye may suck but this still rules

Much better on the 2nd listen, Albuquerque stands out

Not my favorite R.E.M. album but that isn't saying much

Pretty good but not the best trip hop I've heard

Strong A side, weak B side. Streaming has them flipped for some reason?

Is it weird to say the biggest hit on this one is my least favorite song on the album

It's pretty good, never blows my mind

Brazilian banger

It's fine, it's not for me though

3 really really strong tracks and then the rest is just fine

Good strong and quick power pop, doesn't overstay its welcome

I respect Fred Durst but this man never should've been given a mic. Wes Borland saves this.

banger

Grating frequently, occasionally ok, ultimately not for me

Good Peter Gabriel album but not the best I've heard from him

Amazing wikipedia page

I thought this was just gonna be a well rated album for me but I look back at my list so far and this is really top tier, some of the best it gets

It's fine but it's lacking the spark that would make it great for me

Not the best from him but still a good album

Led Zeppelin more like Bad Zeppelin I had a root canal today I'm very tired

Not as good as the later stuff from the members of this band

Stupendous jazz

Amazing live album, nobody can do today what Sam Cooke pulls off on this album

Fiona Apple good, this album good, I think people give this a bit of hate for being her debut but I think it's still pretty fantastic

This kinda sucks!

Pretty good sounding but a little repetitive

Peak post-rock (GY!BE is also peak post-rock)

I bet I look so cool while listening to this

A couple strong songs, best when it's country but dips into a few really boring adult contemporary tracks that drag the whole thing down. RIP Dolly she was the best part of this.

Wow! Great find, didn't expect this to be so good

Fun album, pretty rudimentary but joke-heavy so it balances out

One of the GOATs, absolutely mind-melting sample chopping, never gets boring for me and flows so smoothly, sometimes I just get lost in it and don't even realize I'm at the end.

Okay, weirdly sounds at many points like Jeff Rosenstock but also not as good as Jeff Rosenstock for me

Great, consistent, the hits are hits for a reason, the best Green Day has ever been

J Mascis is the most underrated guitarist of all time

Short and sweet

I mean it's a pretty good live album, don't really get why this is worthy of being on here though

Strong album, I like Iggy Pop who knew

Overall this is great but I must note that the occasional Bob Marley song I just do not enjoy, the vibes just turn off sometimes. It happened once or twice on here but the vast majority was still great. High ceiling low floor artist for me.

Not their best but hard to dislike

Airtight tracklist, like 5 songs on here can be argued to be the greatest song ever written.

Low end of a 5 star for me but still worthy of it. Really an album that doesn't sound quite like anything else, just so much attention to detail and so many moments that just stick in my head, little musical riffs and production choices that just work so well.

Thought I would like it more than I did, just kind of misses for me a hair despite its clear quality

Great live album, Van Morrison in his prime

Heart attackackackackackackack

Never heard of her before, great voice and really interesting material

This made it on the 2005 edition of this list but not Discovery by Daft Punk what the hell are we doing here guys

Some great songs off this but there's a reason everyone only remembers the hits on this one

Feels like Cee-Lo is between styles here, pretty common in his career I'd say, more just generic for the time rather than something that actually sticks out

Amazing stuff, arguably as much of a sonic breakthrough for the 90s as Nevermind or Achtung Baby was

I think most of this album is pretty good but then Maps and Y Control hit and for like 10 minutes this is one of the greatest albums ever made.

Love it, beautiful instrumentation, a couple songs I feel like go on just a tiny bit too long for me. Steak too juicy argument I guess but I just hesitate to fully love it

Tom Morello was just on another level on this one

Not a lot of juice past the hits on this

When I think back to the late 60s this album is the thing that most often comes to mind, a perfect capture of a time period with like 5 of the greatest songs ever written on it

Better than I remembered, probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed it

Amazing production, feels like it runs a little long and sometimes dips into cliches, but man when Common really gets in a groove this is amazing

It's fine, sometimes a little overwrought

Grew up on this album, feels like the most in his wheelhouse Bob Dylan. I don't think it's his best album to be clear but it's his most Bob Dylan album for me.

Didn't realize I'd been hearing this album my whole life

Interesting sounding but I don't like the songwriting very much

I'm charmed, I'll admit they get me with a few hooks from time to time. Really sets the blueprint for a lot of much worse 80s pop rock

Interesting but a lot of movements that I didn't care for

Some great moments on this, strong entry even with a 3 star score

Very interesting sound, feels like the burgeoning roots of like post-hardcore and industrial music that would come to take over the 90s/2000s. Also didn't know this was Steve Albini's band until listening to this

Solid but dated and most of the hits are too overplayed for me to really enjoy still

A foundational album for punk but kind of a rough draft too

Lot of 80s this week, I mean this album alone has more 80s on it than nearly any other.

Bookended by two all-time great songs but nothing much in the middle to make me care

Super tight and well-constructed, pristine sounding, maybe the GOAT album cover

This is like the 4th best Husker Du album why is this the one that made it on here

It's fine I guess, frequently a little annoying but also can catch a groove occasionally

Some really great songs, rides a really solid line and never really gets dull

Stronger than I remember, stays interesting

I really like Aimee Mann's other stuff but this feels like a work in progress, the songwriting is not as sharp and the hooks don't hit as well as her later material

Good hooks but every song goes on way too long

Pretty good, I like the electric sections of the album a lot more than the folk, just not sure I really loved his vocals here too much. I do like Bob Dylan's vocals to be clear just didn't love them on this specific live album

Apparently Bad Brains have much better albums than this that didn't make the list, another one where I'm kind of scratching my head at the selection process here because this is just fine.

Stronger than I remembered

Surprised me how much I enjoyed this, so many great hooks and not a lot of duds

Some moments I really like but a lot of duds to go with it

Very worthy of a spot on here purely due to its influence, it's a really good record but the moodier, darker vibe pop sounds of the 2010s with sharp and sophisticated production is built on the bones of this album.

Great live album, some tracks get given a new life, great cover choices, sometimes I don't love Kurt Cobain's voice here but it's rare.

Ok but check out "Dry the Rain" from these guys even if you didn't like this album, amazing song

A collection of pretty decent songs, but nothing more to blow me away.

Fun to see someone go ham on early synths like this

I didn't really like T. Rex coming into this and I came out of it kinda liking T. Rex.

Really inventive but also frequently great

Marvin Gaye's vocals are just perfect on this.

Sweeping and iconic

One amazing fantastic song and a bunch of songs that pale in comparison.
