1001 Albums Summary

Classic blues. I knew the first song but not the others. Its fun to know where the song will go even though they are new to me and to also listen to a full album. There's of "noise" that is different from my typical music so that is a fun difference.

Wow! I am totally delighted by this album. I love the power ballads with "different" instruments. I'm so used to classic rock being either guitar hero/queen, ccr, led Zeppelin type bands, but apparently king crimson helped to launch og rock and be a subgenre new to me that is totally up my alley!

Not my style of music, but done really well. Beautiful deep voice

I love those album. So many fun and classic songs. So glad this is a part of the project. The bass (along with all the other instruments ) in foreplay/long time is one of my favorites.

This is fine. Jump is a classic, but there's nothing special about it. Not really memorable.

I liked this! Good ballads and fun instruments. Not as crazy as crimson king.

I don't think I've listened to a Bowie album all the way through before, I just know the (many) more popular songs. It was done well!

I am pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this album. Each song further lured me into enjoyment. Reminds me of 4 non blondes. Creative lyrics (that I actually listened to!)

Powerful words. I appreciated the different vocals and beats

The first half of the album was very nonspecific. The latter half had more famous songs that were honestly just okay.

I like music that has "noise" when it is energetic and purposeful. This is...music put in a blender. The amount of guitar screeches alone was nails on a chalkboard. There was one song that sounded like it had other instruments, and that was a very meh okay.

I enjoy talking heads a lot. I think this album really shows off all the different instruments (including the voice as an instrument). Ironically, I think psycho killer is the least talking heads-esque song. I haven't listened to this album as much as others, though.

This was fine. Background music that sounds like movie background music, so that fits the description. But not anything I'd seek out.

Classic. Drums high quality. Voice high quality. Guitar high quality. Though the more famous songs were the more energetic songs that showcased things better.

I can see why this is influential, but it's just not for me.

I'm not a metal head. This was okay.

Grungy. Middle school me would've loved this, but without the nostalgia it's just okay

I really enjoyed this. There's a lot more to Stevie Wonder than isn't she lovely etc. Easy to listen to (outside of the courtroom interlude).

Generic r&b with Christian vibes. Not my taste.

I enjoyed it, but the songs got repetitive and the constant falsetto got old.

Background noise. But good background noise. I don't think I'd listen again, but I didn't dislike trying it out.

Not bad, but definitely twangy and got old after 3 songs.

It was background music to me, so I didn't listen that carefully to assess if it was "good" background music.

Lots of meaning, made into a musical for a reason. I didn't realize so many of the songs were paired together.

I realize I don't like endless high pitch guitars and/or brass that sounds like there is something I need to tend to in the room or traffic. This album has both. Though I can't deny the skill and influence this has.

I enjoyed this. I knew of massive attack from teardrop. It is good to listen to but I might not actively pick it.

The flow from one song to the next. The instruments. Very dynamic sounds. I loved it!

This is a jazzy, YouTube meme-ish, laser tag kinda music. But I still liked it.

Maybe this is controversial, but it is just okay. There is a lot of mumbling/quiet that makes it hard to decipher good quality vs spaghetti on the wall. And it's either so mellow or occasionally active it doesn't jive together. But it is influential.

So this is where the lime in the coconut cane from. Nothing else to take home.

Start 80s new wave. Good.

This was fine. Eady listening but nothing to write home about.
