1001 Albums Summary

First Lynyrd Skynyrd album! Have this on CD from high school somewhere, but still need to get it on vinyl.

Good for background music, but I didn't find much to like in this album.

Pretty good, but not as good as the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Probably wouldn't get this on vinyl, but might listen to a few select tracks on occasion.

Good acoustic guitar, very reminiscent of Paul Simon. But the album itself feels very monotone - same tempo, same vibe for every song. Might listen again while reading or to have something in the background.

Great blues album, I can see why it's a classic. This might be something I buy on vinyl. Not quite 5 stars, but that's just personal opinion.

Eh, this wasn't really my thing. Too moody, too slow, no memorable melodies. I wouldn't listen again.

Starts with the classic "Take On Me", but then after that it's fairly generic 80s synth ballads. I'd probably prefer a "best of" album from A-Ha assuming they have more than one hit

Great album! Already own this on vinyl. There are no skips on this one. A+, no notes.

This was awful. I couldn't finish the album because it gave me headaches. I'm not who sure this is for or what genre it is, but each song seemed worse than the next. No idea how it made this list.

Amazing album that I've never heard before. I don't listen to a lot of country, but this album was no-skips worthy. My first good find on this site!

A classic which I already own on vinyl. Great album.

This was a great early Eric Clapton record that I hadn't heard all the way through, although I knew "Layla," and it remains the heavy hitter on this album. Overall, very good!

Oof, DNF. I've never heard any thrash metal that I've liked.

I thought I liked the Black Keys more than this. Maybe I need to try a different album. Still pretty good though.

Already own it, 5 stars obviously!

Actually a great rock album! Some of the songs all sound the same, but that sameness is pretty good.

Classic, love it, no notes.

Not great. Slow beats, lots of theramin and synth, few if any vocals. Atmospheric but boring.

This was pretty good! Like the Ramones, but with less punk and more 70's rock. However, songs were fairly repetitive with no memorable lyrics to speak of. Still, a good sound.

Classic, probably his best album. Already have the vinyl.

I thought this was going to be the first album I hadn't heard to earn 5 stars, but then it dragged toward the end. Still a solid 4 star album though, and I might listen again!

Decent Bob Marley album, but he's not my type of music. If you like reggae, then this would be 5 stars I'm sure.

Instrumental techno. Mostly boring. Not awful though.

Overall, this was disappointing. Not a lot of good vocal work, which was the expectation. Left no impression. Wouldn't listen again.

This was surprisingly nice! Probably an influence on Mumford and Sons, maybe influenced by The Shins and/or Paul Simon. I'd listen to this again.

Classic with Birdland! I've heard it before. Too bad the other tracks aren't as strong.

Starts with Respect, so hard not to give this five stars. The rest of the album is great soul/gospel music as well. I should probably get this on vinyl!

This was disappointing. I was hoping it would be a good rock album, but it was boring and timeless and amelodic. I would actively avoid listening to this again. The album cover is the best part.

This was good! At least two classic hits on one album. It would be 5 stars if it was only a genre I was more into (and less 80's vibe), but I would listen again on occasion!

This was good! At least two classic hits on one album. It would be 5 stars if it was only a genre I was more into (and less 80's vibe), but I would listen again on occasion!

I liked this well enough, but there are other Blur tracks I prefer that are not on this album. Good background music, but nothing spectacular.

A great album that I knew about, but somehow has never listened to. This is probably a good vinyl buy!

This was great. Reminded me of Lauryn Hill!

I don't have 3.5 hours to listen to 20 identical drum and bass tracks....

Budget Bob Marley??
