1001 Albums Summary

I get it, Stevie Wonder is a wonderful composer and musician, some songs on this record did stir my interest, but most were just not my cup of tea.

Some classic Queen songs on that good album, including the outstanding magnus opum Bohemian Rhapsody.

Distest it already... and that was a prejudice...

The mighty Pogues - my favourite drunken pub band!

Meh. Not too bad. But no candidate for my record collection.

Interesting. Never heard of before.

Huh. Sounds okay.

Not my cup of tea. Some nice ideas, but I wouldn't have included this album into this list.

James Brown, the magnificent. Alas - again, not exactly my music.

I love the Foo Fighters!

Why do 20-somethings make music like that? We already have records of that era of music. Of course, this is high-power stuff, great playin and everything - but it is boring!!

Finally, an album I already own! Alison Goldfrapp has her own style, that's how you make music!

How can someone with such a soothing voice and taste for interesting lyrics become a right-wing nutcase?

Yeah, okayish...

Some very nice songs, some too close to Paul Simon. That was definetely worth listening to.

Now that's an interesting start of an album... However, the voice becomes annoying after a certain time. The song "Basement Scene" is terrible.

An early album from "The Boss". Never really digged his musical output... let's hear it... Okay, I guess you had to be young in 1975 to find this music relevant for your life. I was very young in 1975 so I lack a emotional connection to this album. Now, in 2026, it sounds dated. Alas: Not my cup of tea.

What the duck is this?

I get it, you have to know the roots - but the first song was booooooring! The second song is way better! Why do you have to start an album with such a boring tune? The third number is strange, but not in a good way. All in all: I'm too young for this music. And I'm born in 1971.

The infamous Amy Winehouse. She can sing, no doubt! The musical is not my favourite, however - which is why I don't own this album. But I always recognized her as a musical talent.

The roots of punk rock.

Oh, I love some The Cure! But I'm not disappointed enough to find this a great record. ;-)

Now, that's my jam! Britpop for the win!

An album from my teenager years - containing some hits and some more great songs!

After the first run-thorugh I thought "why is this album on this list"? After the second run-through I thought "I should listen to it once more". After the third run-through it really grew on me. Fab album!

Some interesting tunes, some gnarly sounds, some strange noises. That was worth to listen.

Quite cool, I like!

Come On Eileen is a world class party hit, of course. The other songs are pretty mediocre..

The ultimate Masterpiece of The Prodigy. Nuff said.

Nice, retro, great voice.

Never heard of that band and album. Quite enjoyed it!

Another album I already own! Blur for the win!

Some nice, experimental tunes I wouldn't have expected from the 80s.

One really great song, some good songs.

Elvis - he can sing, of course. He was a star, of course. But not my cup of tea.

What the duck? How on earth is this album included in this list? I would rate zero. Of course I know this might be a pretty great country (or is it western? ;-) ) album, but that is not my music.

Not exactly my kind of music, but nonetheless worth a listen. Captivating at times.

How had this album not come to my attention in 1992? That's great!

Teh Godfather of Funk?

The Beatles - the foundation of modern pop music. This early release may seem dated and pale in comparison to their later work, but anyhow, without this album we wouldn't have got what they gave to the world of music.

I should like it, however, it didn't ring a bell with me.

The unbelieveable Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - what a voice! The music is not my cup of tea, however...

The legendary Pixies - with an album that I don't like.

Okaaayyyy, this was once a great hit. But imho it did not age too well...

Never heard this album before. I will give it some further spins!

Never heard of that band nor that album. Nice one, I like!

The great Billy Bragg!

What an elegant album! Love it!

A solid album from the famous Coldplay! Yay!

Finally one of the best selling albums of all time. How many did Jacko sell of this? 35 Million units? That is an acomplishment, undoubtly. It contains several hits. A top-notch production. I'm not the biggest fan of MJ and I do not own a copy of Bad but have to acknowledge the greatness of it.

What a lousy album! This may be punk rock from 1973 - but it's simply terrible!

Nice voice, reminds me of Prince, the music is not my cup of tea.

Another album from The Verve? They are not that great imho...

That one Cars hit is on this album - which as a whole is okayish.

I never heard this album by the huge Metallica before - and I was shocked by the poor sound quality! Sounds like a homerecording done by some novices on poor equipment. The music? Not mine.

Okay, he wrote some great lyrics, I give you that. But he can not sing! To me it sounds like drunk Uncle Bob doing Karaoke in a hotel bar - but without the fun. Awful!

EWF have got what it takes! Yeah!

One world to describe this album: Classy! Great music sung by an outstanding singer!

I don't like AC/DC too much, but to be fair: this million-seller is a milestone in hard-rock. Adorable from a modern point of view that this was "hard" rock back in the days, but nonetheless it was genre-defining.

What was that? I'm too young for this kind of music...

RIP Dolly Parton - but this is the music the Blues Brothers made fun about. Smurfs singing cheesy country music (or is it western?). This is not mine!

This album did not age well. It's a laugh compared to current rap albums. Of course. they did it earlier... not my music.

Mr Basie and his orchestra did a fabulous job!

Nice album I never heard of before. That was worth a listen or two!

Nice one. Didn't know this was from the late 80ies.

Boring american AOR.

What the duck? Why is this album on this list?

Nice one. Never heard before.

Kinda dull.

What the duck?!? Is this a musical spoof? A joke? If so then I don't get it. Zero points from me.

Didn't know this one! I like! Will give it some more wirls.

I'm not made for psychedelic rock.

Important singer - but I got tired after four songs with the same energy and tonality.

Listening to this album I can see, smell and feel the rooms of sad, disappointed teenage girls with sugar in their tinted hair - I always had a knack for them back in the days. Not my everyday music.

I'm too young for this kind of music.

Booooooooooring!

Some nice tunes, some legendary tunes, most sound kinda like stuck in their demo-stage.

Simply put: A Masterpiece.

Fun Punk by Green Day - great album!

Powerful Crossover Nu-Metal - I don't like them too much but have to admit that this album is solid.

Genre-defining, arduous, ELP.

A wannabe super-musician and show-off – rubbish ‘music’. Not my cup of tea.

Punk in the 1970ies showed us that you did not have to have extraordinary musical talent to make a buck and become legends. The Sex Pistols are the archetype of British punk music. Some drug-infused 20-year-olds shredding loud music against the establishment - and in the background a record label raking in the pounds the make of that. :-D The music? Loud, raw, decent guitar playing, shouted "melodies". Perfect for some pogo on a beer stained party floor.

Yesterday I got presented The Sex Pistols, today it's their counterpart: The Eagles with their AOR-Hitrecord "Hotel California". Top notch in every aspect. Highly polished. Award winning.

Not my beer. Sloppy, bad, arduous.

I like Trip-Hop. And this Portishead album was genre defining. I will put it on my shortlist.

Hip-hop in itself can be quite fun, but I can’t stand those whiny voices of the Beastie Boys for the length of a whole album. So, marks deducted for performance.

And another classic AOR album - Boston. Nice to hear, nice production, nice songwrting. Nice is the keyword here.

A classic David Bowie album! I love him dearly, but more his albums from the 90s and younger.

Great guitarist, no doubt. But I'm no fan of bluesrock albums.

Great Folk music, great voice, that great hit song. Nice album.

This is a gem in this list! Worth listening!

Radiohead is a guarantee for great music!

Early works of "The King" - yes, he can sing, yes, he sold millions of albums, yes, he was a pioneer and a star, no, I do not fancy him too much. Not my music.

What a great album!

I no reggae fan, but this album surprised me. Four solid stars!

I don't know. I like big beat. I like electronic music. But this does not quite click with me.

Bob Dylan is a poet, I get it. But he can not sing for two cents. Hearing this double album was not amusing.

R.E.M.s first album from 1983 - the mould for their coming carreer. Nice one,

Iggy Pop, the godfather of punk.

Nice Jazz, perfect background for the day, be it work, be it relaxing on the couch, be it making out with your loved one.

What torture it is to listen to this disgusting album. I'd give it negative points if I could, so even a rating of 1 is being generous.

Chill, modern soul music. Great stuff!

That's soul! I'd like to know how many children were conceived to this soundtrack...

American 80s Country Music - not relevant for me as a German.

I'm positively surprised! Yeah, it's sombre, it's "sadcore", but I like it!

A great first album of superstars Coldplay.

Blondie - started as punk, played as new wave, ends as part of the pop canon. Nice album.

"Nice" ist the nicest I can write about that album.

Never heard of this band nor this album. Must be an american thing.

The first album of The Pixies. Nice one.

Female grunge by Courtney Love's band "Hole" - was fun to listen to.

What a shite album. But however, I'm no fan of Thrash Metal.

Strange music from a long time ago.
