1001 Albums Summary

kurt cobain definitely had a way with words. this probably goes insanely hard as an angsty white gen X teen

Songs seem pretty forgettable unfortunately

Interesting background for the recording--25 takes and none of them were satisfactory so they were edited into one album. Definitely have a bias for some nice jazz, liked "Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-Are" a lot.

"Do It Again" was a banger, the rest of it was alright

I previously had only heard "Son of a Preacher Man" and had no idea that Dusty Springfield was British. This album was certainly quite nice to listen to and Dusty Springfield has a great voice, but I think I'd rather just listen to the Shirelles for instance

I have a distinct memory of hearing "1999" (the song) on the radio when I was an uncultured kid and thinking it was horrible. Not sure what I was on, because it's pretty groovy like most of this album. The "Little Red Corvette" hook is insanely catchy, but I didn't particularly enjoy listening to the rest of the songs--would prefer not to listen to that much moaning while doing my work and such. And nothing in this comes close to beating "Purple Rain" for me.

Pretty fun but nothing stuck in my mind after at all. I think there's probably a lot of blues music I'd rather listen to

Very interesting album, and it was fun to read more about the banda and Jonathan Richman because I had never heard of them before. Low-key parts of it do just sound like some drunk slurring but Roadrunner (which I have heard from School of Rock) is pretty good and Pablo Picasso is hilarious (choosing to assume that the lyrics are satirical)

So iconic so catchy. The pop music goats

Some pretty good songs but personally not a massive fan of their sound

I'm not a massive fan of David Bowie, but this was pretty fun to listen to. Very unique sounds.

Nothing particularly bad about the songs, but it just felt really boring, homogeneous, and drawn out. Every song just sounds like something that would play in some sad cheesy movie montage and there was nothing that ever really stood out.

I liked it a lot more than I expected!

Great fun!

Not for me

Probably don't do enough drugs to appreciate this

First time listening through a rock opera. Very interesting and definitely want to do a deeper dive at some point.

Fun to listen to, but from a casual listening setting, most songs were not super memorable (though I did know Le Freak already). The biggest exception was Savoir Faire for me, Nile Rodgers's guitar solo was so fun to listen to!

I guess it's kind of interesting. Would definitely not listen to this of my own accord

Very pleasant listening experience. I'm generally a fan of R&B, but the album definitely sounds relatively homogeneous

Some cool sounds and fun instrumentation but the singing is just bad

Always interesting to hear other music from what I see as one-hit wonders, but I think I see why that is the case :)
