1001 Albums Summary

Another block of time I'll never get back. I've gotta go with those reviews that gave it a thumbs down. Isle of Wright previous music events didn't rub off on this group.

Some good Ole fashioned head banging. Dio still takes the top spot for that for me but these guys do well with the guitar riffs and vocals. Worth a listen.

Never cared for Queen since Bohemian Rapsody was the first album of theirs I heard. Perhaps I'd have listened to them more if I had heard this album first. Always thought if I wanted to hear opera I'd would have been going to see Pavarotti instead of rock concerts. This album was worth a listen and raised my view of Queen.

Not a bad song on the album. Haven't heard it for a long time so good to hear.

Not as good as his earlier albums but still good. It was the beginning of his move to a more pop style genre. I give this one a 4.

Well they ain't The Temptations of Prince but us gotta love the funk. I've always enjoyed Motown and good soul music. I wish there was more of that these daze. PARLIAMENT did a great job and painted a picture in my mind as I listened and fell funky.

Zigzag papers, a three finger bag, and mTV. It was fun at the time.

KORNy

Brought back memory of a louetta Lynn and Conway Twitty concert I once attended. Not sure i wanted to remember that.

An outstanding first album.

Nice voice. Some songs reminded me of the lead in songs for James Bond movies. She also threw in done disco and rap tainted songs. Was wort a listen.

Outstanding as I remember it was when I first heard it. The Beatles had to grow on me when they became a big hit. I preferred the Stones and other lesser know British groups but each album got better as they progressed. Will always be on my listen to again list.

These two always had great harmony. It was Garfunkel that shines on this album. Makes you wonder why Paul Simon went in to have a better solo career.

Another artist with a nice voice but every song (with an exception of a few) the same with the beat and the synthesizer sounding music. I imagined walking into a hotel bar back in the day, and leaving after two beers cause i felt like I just smoked a pack of cigarettes.

OMG another painful experience. I read the comment about REM vocals but REM sounds like Robert Plant compared to this guy. I think sitting in a tattoo parlor listening to the electric ink pen would be more entertaining. Another of the 1001 albums not too listen to before you die cause it is harmful to your health.

A variety of song topics that changed melody and instrumental backing. A balladeer songwriter along the lines of Neil Diamond. It was with a listen but not an album I'd have run out to buy back in the day or current day.

Good jamming and great energy.

The one song on the album "There's More To Life Than This" summed it up......

I kept listening thinking, hoping, that the next song would be better. Did someone use AI for Techno back in 1999? A lot of not sure what

How did i miss this album back in 1979, damn? Happy that i did.

I liked the early Mac, pre 1975, but as the Fleetwood Mac lineup changed, it had less of the Blues genre and sounded more pop. I did buy a copy of Tusk but it didn't get much play after that first spin. The several Nicks songs were nice listening but maybe the overplay on the radio of those songs contributed me not playing the Tusk album much after I bought it. The ladies can sing and the music is good so hearing it again is nice but it's still not destined for my turntable anytime soon.

I felt like I needed to put my old Miami Vice jacket on and head to a disco club. Those days are long gone. Not bad listening with the instruments and singing doing a good job keeping my interest.

Probably the best crooner of all. There is a song on this album to impress your lady in about every aspect of the pursuit. After this album ends I'm heading to the TV to pull up reruns of the Ed Sullivan show and search for the RAT pack.

A classic that is always fun to listen too. Until I saw the movie, I never realized what Bob Marley was dealing with. If you haven't seen the movie, you should.

When growing up, my parents would enjoy listening to Johnny Cash but I didn't care for him. As life went on I would hear him pairing with other singers that I liked and began listening to him and stared hearing his stories and ballads and his songs and sound took on a new light. I can only imagine how he felt doing this album at Folsom and his those at Folsom enjoyed this concert.

A discussion i had with my mother about the notes on the album cover totally blew me away when she agreed that man created God in his own image. The intellectual content and the music that Ian Anderson creates in all his work is astounding and is why he's the artist that I've seen the most over the years. An outstanding album.

I'm combing my hair into a spike and heading out to look for a rave. Do the still have those?

Annie Lennox has one of those voices that make you listen. Her range is incredible. Good listening.

A rock band from Cleveland in 1975. These guys either drank a whole bottle of Jack or did a hit of blotter acid before playing. Something I would have had to do to stick around and listen to them. Happy i didn't run across this group back then.

Didn't even make it thru the first rap.

David Bowie has always been one of my favorites. His diversity made his music fun to listen to. I remember buying his early albums l albums and racing home to play the album and look at the album art. I was never disappointed. While this album was a different aspect compared to his early work it shows the evolution that continued to make him great.

Blues has always been a favorite of mine. When I started listening to Blues, back in my younger years, my liking started out slow and then took off as many of the rock groups were playing the Blues. I then started listening more to Muddy Waters, BB King, Howlin' Wolf, and others and fell in love with the old and the new mix of the Blues. Muddy Waters was always one at the top of my listening line up. Ŵhen I would go to the Army Rec center and check out a turntable, headphones, and albums, Muddy Waters was usually in my album lineup.

Reading about the band, this was their final album because the lead thought it was a failure. It's worth a listen and if I we're into the club scene I'd stop in to listen to them live.

Joni Mitchell is one of the top female vocalists of my generation. As she sings it's so easy to see her songs and picture the story she is telling. Starting off this album with Coyote was a treat, Always outstanding.

I've heard an occasional song by the Youngbloods but never listened to one of their albums. This was quite nice, good songs, melody, and harmony. I'm going to have to look for their other albums and have a listen. Very nice.

Was never an Adele fan but I enjoyed this album. The lady can sing, no doubt about that. Another unexpected good listen.

Different. Not much else to say.

If was part of the evolution of rock and roll. Thumbs up.

The Kinks are always a good listen.

Ain't running out to buy this album or anything else by Christine.

As previously said for the Folsom album, Johnny Cash grew on me. When i heard this years ago I really didn't care for it but now I did a replay.

I've listened to Wilco before but not sure i will again. I thought i walked into a basement bar in Tijuana where the Gringos were dropping blotter acid.

Please, give me some Who Quadrophenia.

Have always loved and lived by his son'gs and words.

When these three came together (and add Neil Young on occasion) the harmony was awesome. Even with their disagreements thru the life of the group they still delivered excellent music. I was fortunate to see CSN&Y twice and loved every song.

Got to love them.

Well it didn't take long, after i started listening to this, before I put Linkin Park on the TSA do fly list.

Id plug in this album on the ski slopes and would tear up the black diamond runs.. thank you Prince for all the good times.

I always followed and lived Bob Dylan in my teens and into the Army. My son's middle name is Robert for that reason. When i heard this album it took Dylan to a higher level. One of his best.

How did I know that this was gonna SUCK? 1001 albums needs to be 1000 albums.

Not my style so I'll pass on another listen.

Wow. All albums were excellent.

Always wanted to go to the annual Texas Bar B Q and regret it never made it.

Show me to the mosh pit. Oh wait, I'm too old for that. Do ya think the album cover helped sell the album. If I heard this album playing i wouldn't turn it off but I wouldn't be inclined to buy it.

Always excellent.

Released on my birthday the year after I got out of the Army. With a name like throbbing Gristle how did I miss this group? With all the pot l I smoked back then, it might have been a fun listen but I was quite happy with Frank Zappa. And after listening to the whole album, I don't think I'd would have had enough pot. If I'm going to listen to DOA it's gonna be by Bloodrock.

Oh thank goodness for an album finally on my bucket list, not that I haven't listened to this album more than I've kept track of. The evolution and changes to Deep Purple over the years has not taken away from their greatness. Rock On!!!!

Better than most of what I've been hearing.

I actually have some Smiths in my album collection. They are not a group that I'd go see on tour but the melody and lyrics are catchy and even good at times. Thumbs up.

The older I got the more I liked the Beatles.

Ua just can't beat some good James Brown.

Different but not a bad listen.

Always a 5 no matter what album by the Doors.

When Time Becomes was playing I was yelling out to get the skipping record and then I realized it's digital. It almost sounded like every song was stuck in the same vinyl groove. Gotta say it's a different album from what a few up listing to.

Not much punk that I'm in to.

First time I heard this album, played it several times. The albums that followed were even better.

Well I think I just watched a profanity laced Romper Room program with the clown from It. Some tunes were tolerable but another album that's not on my bucket list.

An evolution of rock that i wasn't too crazy about but it wore on me to the point that I could listen to a few songs before toning down the head banging

I didn't know AI existed back in 1978. Oh, I'm supposed to call it SI now.
