1001 Albums Summary

Not my bag

Outstanding

Foundational. Blues country fusion emblematic of southern rock sound

Favorite Tribe album

Not for me

Did not age well. 3 hip hop albums in a row. Come on, man

Slower groove, almost Steely Dan esque. I like CCR better. Grateful Dead?

Incredible voice

I can’t help but think of an Austin Powers movie. Infectious. I’ve never of this band before. Thank you!

Why is this on the list? Trip Hop? Not for me

Singular voice still holds up

Never bought this first album. Great sound, but honestly later albums had more memorable singles

Fantastic. So much talent on display. I think Zenyatta Mondatta, or Ghost in the Machine are better. Are they on the list, too?🤞

An entire album of “bitches and endo” is a lot. I appreciate the groove of the west coast sound, but the lyrics are just too much. Every single track. I did not need to hear this before I die.

Great stuff

Hampered by 1970 technology of recording a live album

Sounds experimental. Imagine what didn’t make the track list. Remade Horizon is a good song. Thankfully, only 41 minutes long. What am I missing?

Why not pick the album with all the bangers on it? This is not as good as Pure Heroine

So many hits on so many albums. I know this is about albums as albums, but Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hits CD is stacked top to bottom. First CD I ever bought and captures all of their music. Anyway, toss up between this and Rumours for greatest LP. But, definitely a supergroup

Trip Hop again. Not my bag

Not for me

A little Kate Bush goes a long way. This is a lot of Kate Bush

Fun album from back when music was fun

Done

Lead singer is Dinosaur Jr-esque. Catchy album, good hooks, a little distortion. College alternative with a touch of grunge

Great harmonies, Parton’s voice is one of a kind

“It’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough”. Yes, it is enough. Luckily only 36 minutes. I really wish there was a half star. 2 stars indicates dislike, 3 stars is “worth a listen”. I really want to give this 2 1/2 stars

Great bops

Silly album. Lots of satire

Good album. A couple of great songs, but the mumbles can be a little much. At least this is back when he was mumbling in earnest.

Very good

Spectacular

Very good album. Forgot how polished this sounded.

Way over my head. I’m only giving two stars because it’s miles Davis. I feel like this is the musical equivalent of the doodle pad beside your phone.

Thanks for recommending this. Great example of why the world music of the early 2000s was so much fun. Familiar yet exotic.

So many other fantastic Talking Heads albums, why this one?

Still nope. 2 Kendrick Lamar albums out of the first 44 recommends. Come on, man.

Not good

A very distinct voice. He’s got something

Great voice. I appreciate how committed he is to the lyrics. Solid atmosphere

I don’t get it. The first part larks tongues part 2 is good, then it wanders off into trying to figure something out for 5 minutes. Not for me

Good stuff

This is a tough one. The production is great, it’s Pharrell. But, I can’t tell if this is serious, or just a joke. “Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride”, and “like the Michelin man, she swam with such might”. You lose a star for that alone. Still, they returned to this band over several decades, maybe it was genuine.

Perfect. Iconic. Representative of the explosion of hard rock music in the early 1980’s and still the anchor of classic rock radio stations 45 years later

Silly and fun album. Can definitely hear the beginnings of new wave

Boring

Labor of love is more of a vibe

Love ELO. Joyous and reveling in synthesizer sound. Strings give depth without being over serious.

Historically interesting, but not something I want to listen to again

Holds up well 40+ years later. Lennox’s voice is singular is both range and power. Eurythmics music is instantly recognizable.

Fun album. I had never heard of these guys before.

It takes a nation of millions to hold us back is a more powerful album. This one sounds a little tired, maybe the success was starting to wear on them.

Fun album. Duran Duran sound instantly recognizable. The visuals were great, suits with shoulder pads, models everywhere, 80’s pop music

Solid album. Sorry the group blew up after this.

Iconic. When you kids say, “What are The Who”? This is the album you play

Cool album. Industrial sound in 1977, plus never knew Iggy Pop did China Girl first(tho David Bowie was in the studio helping out). Cool

Maybe I was a little too old in 1995, but I don’t get the Wu Tang clan

The other Elvis Costello albums are better. I did like the fuzzed up bass on a couple of the peppier tracks. The construction and talent are there. But, 15 tracks is too much. Honestly, a better album would have been 8-10.
