1001 Albums Summary

This is not my era, but the album does hold up extremely well.

My expectations were low, but this was better than I expected. A lot of punk from this era blends together for me, but this stands out slightly.

This was interesting as a historical exercise at least; I am not sure if I have ever listened to an Elvis song all the way through until now. Long Black Limousine was a standout but the rest is not my jam.

This is a vibe; I liked the parts with the full orchestra in particular.

I prefer a more bombastic Prince

I generally detest Christmas music, but this was above average.

A deeply personal rap album and it's all bangers???

This is a super formative album for me. This is all over the map style-wise and they hit on pretty much every sound they try.

This is actually pretty nice; dare I say it would be better without vocals?

Out of the great and popular punk bands in the 90s, The Offspring are towards the bottom IMO.

Feels like childhood. Completely over the top in the best kind of way.

I am a jazz beginner; maybe someday I will acquire a taste for it.

I wanted to like this more, but the surf rock influences are too strong...

I am a decently big trip-hop fan, but Portishead has never really done it for me.

I am officially a post-punk hater

Out of all of David Bowie's classic albums, this random one made this list of top 1001 albums?? His voice is still vaguely interesting here, but the instrumentation was pretty boring and too slow-paced for me. "I'd Rather Be High" stood out as being ok, but yeah this was largely a slog.

I feel like this sound has been done better, but this is still a solid listen.

Wow; this held up way better than I would have guessed. There are a couple standout tracks, but even the others are just good enough to keep the vibe going, and the record does not overstay its welcome.

This felt really cohesive, but without having all the songs mindlessly blend together. I liked this more than I expected.

This was my first time listening to Pixies and their sound was not what I expected at all. This was a solid and raw-sounding record.

I'm sorry; I know this album is super important, but I have to be honest with myself and admit this did absolutely nothing for me.

This was lit; it reminds me of being in high school and binging Death's whole discography.

Disc 1 was pretty boring, but thank god things picked up a lot on Disc 2 with more up-tempo tracks like Art of Dying. Overall I had a positive experience with this album.

This is not the type of 80s pop I like; I found it pretty boring.

My expectations may have been too high for this one... It was just kind of background noise to me with nothing really standing out.

I actually kind of vibed with this. I enjoyed it in the same way as I enjoy like a Michael Hedges.

Wow I am shocked this was released during the 90s. There were some good moments here, but overall the record was way too long.

I am running out of ways to say album could be ok but the genre is not my thing at all.

A country album that's not complete dog??? Crazy concept.

Very ethereal, but none of her best songs are here.

This is the first time I have ever listened to CSN, and it was about what I expected - folksy stuff that is pretty much indistinguishable from all the other folksy stuff from the time.

I liked Pink Moon better but this was still fine.

Wow an hour of reggae may be my personal hell

It is crazy how for genres I don't listen to very much, it feels like every artist has no unique identity at all.

Wow this bangs; I am super impressed.

I mean this guy's voice is inseparable from Toy Story. This is just ok though.

Way too slow-paced for me
