1001 Albums Summary

An album I haven't listened to in a very long time. It's fun and brings back a lot of good memories. Not something I'd keep in heavy rotation these days, but it was a blast from my past.

Not heard this one in decades. The hits get played everywhere, so it was nice to reconnect with songs like Misty Mountain Hop, Four Sticks and When the Levee Breaks.

I've heard of the band, but this was my first time listening to this album. There's great musicianship and singing, but I'm not into slow Ballad's for long stretches. Some okay covers.

It's solid, though it does make me want to listen to Doves. I'm not so keen on the slower songs, but In Rainbows has my fave Radiohead tune with Jigsaw Falling Into Place

A front loaded album. After the first two tracks it all sounds a bit samey. Never been a Michael Jackson fan.

I remembered the three hits, Bittersweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work and Lucky Man, but none of the album really stands out. The Verve were never really a big deal for me. I remember buying this album for the singles and being disappointed that the rest didn't deliver. It's also too long.

Not close to my wheelhouse. There's good stuff in this album and what Miriam does takes skill, but its just not for me.

I like this album more whenever there aren't vocals. The vocals sound like the kind of thing you'd hear at a school assembly as lame white people try to rap about how bad drugs are or that we shouldn't have sex. Once that thought entered my mind I found it hard to take this album seriously.

This is wonderful. Fun and energetic.

Creates a great vibe. While I prefer a Kind Of Blue, this was a great listen.

Boring shrill and not my thing. It's like what if the most annoying vegan you ever met at a party, also brought a guitar.

It never really feels like any of the songs start. The Whole album feels like an intro to another better album.

Tiny Dancer is the only hit on the album, but don't let that dissuade you. Its a really good record and I found myself listening to it a bunch of times. Really loved the title track.

This sounds like generic Blues music. Nothing really stands out. It's really white.

I really liked I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain, but nothing else really stood out.

This feels ahead of its time. But not just ahead a few years, but a few decades. This album is wonderful.

An unlistenable mess. Where Is My Mind is the only good thing on the album and I liked it less in context with the rest of it. Fucken terrible. I'm surprised by how much I didn't like this.

It's fine. There are some nice musical moments and great singing. It's a good background dinner album, but it's not my thing.

It's a great album, from start to finish. It's better to listen to as a whole. It's a fantastic classic and not even their best.

Never heard of this album, I wish I had. It's wonderful. I'll be listening to Pink Moon for years.

A man who had gems on Beatles records releases a triple album of gems. An embarrassment of riches here. Wonderful.

It's a good solid Sonic Youth Album. Shadow of a Doubt is like something out of a Lynch movie.

Sounds like a medieval band playing improv. Terrible.

Surely Clapton has better albums? Generic rock and blues without soul. Not an album to go to, to witness some of the best guitar playing ever. Chalk this up as a surprise that this is an influential record.

Meandering self-indulgent (coke fuelled?) wank.

OK Computer is a great album, but one of those from my teen years that I haven't gone back to much as an adult. Electioneering will be back in the rotation a while though. There's Radiohead I like a lot more.

I don't engage with the lyrics of a lot of this like I used to, but the music is fucken gnarly. I tend to relisten to albums after this one.

What the fuck was this? I wish this sort of music would die not win 3 fucking Grammys.

It's like this dude walked in on the SNL band and starter singing. Lame and boring.

9 songs. 2 are good but I'm over them. Lebowski was right. Generic soft rock shit.

Super fun album from start to finish. A dang good time.

Folk-Jazz-Rock elevator music or on hold phone music. It's there, nothing stood out.

It's good. If I was more of a Neil fan I might even love it. Odd choice.

Bloop meep blorp morp fart. Annoying.

I got this on the day Dolly passed away. Heard Dolly songs but never a full album. This was good country music.

Are these guys the parents of the Black Keys and Jack White? Never heard of the album or the band, but I'll be keeping this one in my rotation for a while. A hidden gem.

I've listened to a few soulless blues albums on this list. So it was fucking cool as hell to get this. Great music and a great vibe.

Dated sure, but lots of fun. Makes you wanna dance. Renegades of Funk is a banging tune

If you like Salsa you'll probably like this. It wasn't to my taste.

We were right. Drown them anyway. Shit sandwich.

Music to put on if you want your grandparents to think you're cool. Boring

This French porn music is pretty good.

Its some decent solid dad rock.

Loses steam after a while and just ends. Dirge dirge dirge. Meh.

Gnarly thrash that was great fun to listen to. This album is in my wheelhouse so yeah no surprise I think it's great.

I liked the Led Zeppelin-y tracks. The straight up blues ones not so much. Still, there are some fantastic songs and moments on this album.

This album is wonderfully Queen and wonderfully versatile. A classic and a good time

What if Iggy Pop & Lou Reed made a shitty generic 90s album together.

It was good. Got me dancing.

A personal fave ever since my young mind saw The Time Is Now. Horses is a fucking classic from start to finish and I adore it.

Dance music for Dags.

What if Doves or the Flaming Lips we're boring. This is the kinda shit they play in tv/film to stir schmaltzy emotions sans heart or testicles. Soulless.

Not really my genre, but this was still a fun listen. Solid.

This album has some classics on it an as a whole its a great time. A bit too long though.

A band I've heard of, but never heard. Aqualung was a great listen and I'll be digging into some of their other albums. I liked the interesting mix of prog rock, rock, hard rock and folk. Not bad for 1971.

This is a good album Jack White made. He's made way better though. Still there are some catchy tunes and the album holds together from start to end.

I was surprised with how okay this album is.

I just don't like the Pixies. After Sub Rosa, Teenager of the Year and this shit, I still don't like the Pixies. Their music is a cacophony of sounds that does not mesh.

I went from this is okay, but too long and soft. Then by the end ELO had won me over. Really nice sounding album.

This is a monster of a metal album and bloody incredible. Still goes hard.

Great to see an Aussie band on here. The music is good, but too many slow ballady songs.

A monster of awesomeness. One of the fucking raddest albums ever.

I'm not a funk fan, but the album is tremendous fun. Every song is a party. Groovy jams.

Never heard. ZZ Top album before. Just the hits. Had a great time listening to Eliminator, great catchy rock tunes.

I'm not a Reggae fan, but this was a great listen. Happily surprised how much I liked it.

Absolute stank nuggets.

I do appreciate that this is album 69 for me. Marvin's singing is great, I like some of the tunes too which isn't bad since I'm not a big soul fan.

Loved this album in my early 20's. Does it hold up? Yeah it fucking does. A concept album that has a wonderful ending. I love a grand don't come for free.

Really solid album that sometimes feels ahead of its time. Lots of fun.

It has a fun 60's party vibe. Standard 60's sounds, but I like those so had a blast. Bubblegum.

I love Low. I always have and I always will. Fucking fantastic.

Never heard of Spirit and was happily surprised. Great music that keeps you on your toes. So many different styles and ideas. This ones a good time.

This is a fantastic Dylan record, but not one of my faves. Love Minus Zero, Mr Tambourine Man & Gates of Eden have stayed with me for decades.

Still one of the coolest albums ever. Blue Lines is a part of my DNA.

Absolutely gnarly and does not fuck around. Tremendous. Never heard of Big Black before.

I like some of the music, but can we do something about the horrible wailing? I've had people try getting me into Bjork for years. Fetch will happen first.

This was gnarly. Too gnarly for me. Great music but it's not for everyone. A tad too much for this metalhead.

49% middle fingers, 51% brass bollocks. Gnarly fun.

A great time that lives up to the hype. Tremendous, influential and fun.

I like Stevie Wonder however this album was slow and boring. Why was this one chosen seriously?

Sounds like the Eagles, except with Neil Young. It's very okay & unmemorable.

Whenever you put 17 seconds on, it's immediately dark and you're surrounded by trees. I love this album, dark, sexy, bass heavy and cool as fuck.

This wasn't to my taste at all and might be one of the weakest albums so far. So ballady ugh.

More like Husker Don't. Generic punk and you'd think in a double album at least one song would be interesting. Nope.

Really fun early Beatles. Not sure why its on here though. Really good rock n roll, but better shit exists.

Does this sound like an 80's workplace video soundtrack? Yes.

The missus said this sounded like music from a children's TV show, but good. I felt it was alright.

A wonderful record. Murmur feels boppy and dreamy. I've never gone back this far with R.E.M. and I should have.

Sometimes the music on this album is great and other times nothing is going on for long stretches. Feels more like a soundtrack than a record.
