1001 Albums Summary

Surprising range of styles. Instrumental opening, then alternative classic in Tonight Tonight followed by metal drums and baseline...drums on this album stand out. Tonight Tonight, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, 1979 all bring heavy mid 90's MTV nostalgia, great songs. Not a huge fan of Bill Corgan's vocals, though his voice in these songs is iconic. Besides the old hits nothing really stood out as amazing.

Very busy and fast instrumentals throughout, surprised me a bit for Simon's softer voice and earlier work. The African mixed in was interesting, but most of this sounded like a version of Call Me Al - sing-talking fast to those instrumentals.

Sounds like Layne Stanley sings harmony with himself, unique voice. Appreciate how hard it goes but can swing back and uses his vocals to sing softer stuff I didn't expect. I thought I'd like it - some songs felt a bit cliche but there's a couple gems in Rooster, Would, Down In a Hole...

Dolly Parton died yesterday, and this album popped on my list this morning. The universe is speaking.

Realized Deep Purple is so much more than just Smoke on the Water. Child in Time is great...has music ever changed so fast over a 10 year span than 1960-1970?

I have this album, mostly listened to Carey. It's such a unique song in how her voice dances through it. I like Joni's talent in writing and singing, but outside of Carey it was hard to get really engaged with the album.

Not sure how this band was COMPLETELY off my radar. Didnt change my life but good, and the style and circles so similar to so much to what I like.

Exactly what I would expect walking into a London nightlife hub with live music in the early 1990s...the definition of Brit Pop. Some punk stuff, Beatles threads and that blaring British accent. Liked more than I thought I would!

Bjork may well be an alien. Such a chaotic, beautiful, unique sound.

Vanilla jazz (mine should be NOLA brass or bossa nova) with some unremarkable 80s pop mixed in. Not my favorite

Funky George Clinton experiment.

Might be what people on ayahuasca listen to?

Awesome. Think i have 2 LPs of this album!

I love rock, but not really heavy metal...

Heavy 80s metal

One of the best bands of the 90s, some classics on this album.

Little Bob Dylan vibes. Amy a pretty song...

I thought the guy's voice was a gimmick on the first song...nope. even when he actually does sing.

Good, indie rock. Lead singer is so morose in most songs.

Bluesy, think it would be great to see live...

India meets James Bond and other interesting stuff. At times feels like it is a decade older than 78 release...

Wife hated it...

Hard to tell how many people singing, and place the exact style. Some R&B / hip hop, some more soft pop... looked it up - trip hop.

Might like this one more than Blue. No really memorable songs though.

Not a fan of the toneless vocals. Had some potential...

Their early years are my favorite. Some in here like Paint it Black are so innovative and classic.

One of greatest ever.

Very different than the first NC and Bad Seeds...ethereal, environmental, slow.

Yeah, not for me

Less poppy than the first one I listened to. Still heavy Brit but seems a little more creative and deeper?

I just saw Robert Plant live at the Pageant 4 days ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Liked it! Nothing breakout here but solid rock, PJ hits it. Twangy bass was interesting.

Solid punk rock.

Love Steely but not my favorite album of them

Didnt make much of an impression.

Lovesong is 5 star, but the rest is fine.

Sabotage creative genius. This iteration of Beastie Boys elevated them from party rap novelty of License to I'll days

Feel like I should like the Cure more, but outside of their main hits I can't feel it...

So so, not remarkable

This one is so good...recording live in San Quentin gave a feel on top of probably my favorite country artist and songs.

Not bad, folksy.

Smooth....

Liked this one. Catchy and unique. Sometimes jarring and noisy but not junk.

Yeah yeah...didn't know these songs in particular but know the style.

Band name translates as "Collapsing New Buildings" and this is just noise.

Great album, double disc.

Very 2000s R&B / rap.

Originally misread this as 1996 and not 1966. Perspective shifted once i realized...was confused!

Politically correct it is not

Slow and his voice so deep I could barely hear in the car

Never was s big fan in the 90s but they grow a little...can really see in some songs the nirvana origins.

A great album.

Their sound changed a ton from this to what they became a few years later, not unlike the Beatles transformation. Tried some bluesy stuff here but not phenomenal..

Good 90s rock

Electro stuff. Not bad, not great

Little weird

Had its run in the 90s. Some catchy beats but the repetition in these songs for an hour of the album a bit much.

Didn't realize this was 1971. Like this album. Early 70 men's bands loved the tenor harmonies...

Sound more modern rock-like than I expected for 1970, understand why they are often referenced by other bands as an influence. Is fine but nothing really stood out

I like the grit and bluesy stuff. Circus music not as much.

This music brings nostalgia vibes...

So many classics on this album

Great album. Dirty Work sneaking up to top of my Steely Dan list.

Was fine, not my cup of tea..

Sounds like an 80s pop reboot but without the good nostalgia...

Sone good later-stage U2 here

Hines is amazing.

Nothing special...

Remember finding these guys in college and thinking how cool this music was.

Pretty hard, lacks some of the magic from earlier albums.

Their transition to a their early 70s version always amazes me.

Country and western, the good type. Gonna bump Willie up, never listened to this album before.

It's fine but really not my thing.

Just boring.

Hadn't realized a couple of these songs were hers. A bit of bluesy 60's pop!
