1001 Albums Summary

Not as stirring or bold as some of the better albums, but mid Stevie is better than most. "Please Don't Go" is the only real standout, has some of the classic Stevie passion. Otherwise, a chill 40 minutes hanging with my good buddy Steve.

Like the rest of the American public, I have gotten more into country music lately, and this is rock-solid, beautiful, melancholy country music.

Can’t tell if I’m being unfair because the first few tracks were so omnipresent in the late 90s and early 2000s or if I’m too familiar with Moby being a douchebag or if I just don’t like these songs that much anymore, but…I don’t know, very few of these do it for me anymore. Used to love it though. Owned it!

Masterpiece. Duh

Beautiful. I only trust Canadians to do Americana right.

This guy is GOOD at guitar

NO!

Good! Not as great as the heights she’d hit later, but really fun

Hey, this was great! Totally unfamiliar to me, but great jangly 80s rock shit

I mean not bad but I’m not a Clapton guy

Good! Just kinda okay British indie, weird that it’s on here

Extraordinary

Gotta admit I kinda dig this shit

Not the best Zep, but it's still classic Zep, so it's good

Not for me

Very self-serious for a bunch of hard-drinking 23-year-olds

Nah

Dig soulful folk-y James Taylor. Do not dig white boy blues rock James Taylor.

Steely Dan reminds me too much of my dad

Good!

Damn. This is great.

Should not be on this list. Second rate Brit pop nothing.

HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT?!?!

Brilliant. It's In Utero.

Weird, but I’m not mad about it!

It’s hard for me to get in the mindset to appreciate Madonna in the first place, much less 2000s Madonna.

Prime era Bowie gets 5, I don’t care where it ranks

I get a little bugged by the 2000s twee shit like this but a lot of it is sincerely beautiful.

Holy shit rock and roll baby

Hell yeah

Damn this was good!

Great!

Dangerously close to awful, but it’s not. Incredible.

Kinda just okay late 70s psychedelia

Hey it’s the smooth guy

Eh

Damn fantastic

At times incredibly beautiful and at times nauseatingly pretentious

Overplayed, at least to me, but I still kinda like it

Otis rules

Great. Shame about Ryan since then.

Not terrible but not good

A lot of noodle-y beats with no lyrics and half finished songs. But the good stuff is good!

Too intertwined with my adolescence to even listen to a lot of this. The three singles are era-defining, the rest is mid.

I didn’t get The Streets back in the 2000s and now it just baffles me.

Tried to listen to this as though I was just some guy in the late 80s and knew nothing about how off-puttingly arrogant and pretentious Bono could be and I kind of enjoyed myself

Hell yeah

Music is nice lyrics are distractingly ass

Cannot take this band seriously anymore. Sorry!

Not that good!

Cocaine!!

I remember being kind of underwhelmed by this when it was released. The fuck was my problem?

Canonical for a reason

Wow I love Morrissey who’d have thunk?

Damn I guess I love the Pretenders

Great!

Some of the most gorgeous music put on wax in the 20th century

Usually not into Clapton but I dug this!

Never been an Elvis guy but look he’s a legend for a reason

*Tony Soprano voice* "Three stars, no disrespect"

Fuck yeah

I just like this shit
