1001 Albums Summary

Old people voices was very strange, but this album holds Hazy Shade of Winter and Mrs Robinson, so it makes it worth it. 7/10

The album successfully maintains its devotion to acoustic folk. It is a great listen, especially when driving on a long trip home, as was my case when I listened. Dylan is a lyrical genius and this was a great introduction to his music. Mr. Tambourine Man, Gates of Eden, and It’s Alright Ma are 3 powerhouses back to back.

Fairly standard rock album. Not my favorite.

Very interesting sound. Don’t usually listen to moodier stuff like this but it was very good. 5-4=unity was a very unique listen. I love the transitions between 5/4 and 6/8

At first I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy this album since Monk is a bit more avant garde in his style, but I was proven wrong. The album is full of complex sounds that shouldn’t work but come together to create a very unique listening experience

What can I say that hasn’t been said

Jennifer was my favorite from this album, shout out to krautrock as well

Idk what I was expecting but this surpassed all of my expectations. A very good album blending rock, hip hop, and traditional Latin music.

Some interesting points, but not enough to get me hooked

Agnus Dei alone elevates the whole album

Just emo dad rock and it’s great

Not my first time listening to this album, but the pure genius of a sci-fi story told through a sweeping rock album is incredible. This is easily one of my favorite albums

Very clubby, which makes it a very interesting listen while working. I’m with it though.

Had no idea they made Maps, was a pleasant surprise to be sure. The album holds up well otherwise, I love the female grunge vocals

Absolutely masterful composition. Each song is unique and soulful, and closing out with Tapestry and A Natural Woman is amazing

Not for me. Like the fast-paced sound but too cluttered

This was already one of my favorite albums. Not every song on it is great, but every song belongs, and the heavy hitters of the Beatles in their prime carries this to an easy 5. Shout out Rocky Raccoon.

Didn’t know what to expect when I saw a 1982 pop album, but this was interesting. The album moves between pretty standard yacht rock and more innovative music pretty well.

I was excited because I’ve heard good things about the Sex Pistols, but this album didn’t really do anything for me. Disappointing.

There’s a reason my buddy considers this the best album of all time

Better than I expected.

Smooth Operator is a banger but the rest of the album was mostly so-so for me

This album reaches the highest highs, but not consistently enough for me to rate it among the greats

Not for me. Objectively good, but I’ve never been a fan of modern pop country.

I understand why this album is included, but that doesn’t mean I like it.
