Well produced, but I can't why is it a timeless classic. Maybe you had to be there to get it. Favorite Track: Purple Rain

Fantastic album, fantastic vocals, fantastic composition, everything sounds groovy, it the kind of album you let your kids listen to and they think it's magic Favorite Track: Joy Inside My Tears

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Definitely not my cup of tea, but it's clearly well made pop music, and a product of its time. Favorite Track: Dance or Die

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

Timeless classic, great lyricist, but I don't like her vocals at rapping and that version of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. Favorite Track: To Zion

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

I feel like this is a great gateway for a more refined taste in music. All songs are sung from heart, though none has particularly taken my soul. Favorite Track: This Wheel's On Fire

Street Life

The Crusaders

2/5

Groovy, but not remarkable like Superfly and What's Going On. Favorite Track: Street Life

Superunknown

2/5

Moon Safari

Air

Light-hearted, pop, french

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

Many very known samples come from this album, which is amazing! Even more so considering not a single one captivated me. Favorite Track: Waiting for the Night Honorable Mention to the last minute of Blue Dress, which may be the best musical composition of the entire album (while not a song by itself)

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

The Yes Album

Yes

I like the upbeat tone, it's kinda rare to see those in contemporary music. Fav Track: Heroes and Villains

Parallel Lines

Charming music, really makes you feel in the late 70's - 80's Fav. Track(tough choice): Heart of Glass

No Other

Gene Clark

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

2/5

This is loved by a select few people. And I am not one of them.

#1 Record

Big Star

3/5

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

3/5

This is not something i'd normally like, but the whole point of 1001 Albums generator is probably that. I'm positively surprised about this album, not only is a fairly solid rock composition, the themes are varied and styles are well-explored. Aisha and Alladin's Story are trippy songs within reason, I definitely think Lever Street should've closed the album and Dirge is a opening. I'd call it ewntry-level for psychedelic instrumental rock. Favorite Track: Aisha

Moondance

Van Morrison

2/5

Didn't get get into it, but And It Stoned Me and Brand New Day did connect to me. Deserve another hearing. Fav. Track: And It Stoned Me

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Absolutely in love with Sarah Vaughan's voice. Favorite Track: September in the Rain

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

1/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

It's a weird, experimental album, which only Talking Heads could pull out, and even making it (somewhat) danceable. Also, I feel safe to say Jack Stauber's melodies had some inspiration on this album, especially Mind. But, I'm not trying to fool anybody here, my favorite track of Fear of Music is definitely Heaven.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Love the lyrics, love the styles choices Favorite track: Message in the Bottle

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Jump!

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

Would be a great Tumblr profile, maybe even a good substack writer, but the melodies are just generic. Great lyrics that I wish someone made a somber recording (not the way they did Mrs. Robinson) Drug Buddy is very solid, though Favorite track: Drug Buddy

Purple Rain

Prince

2/5

Well produced, but I can't why is it a timeless classic. Maybe you had to be there to get it. Favorite Track: Purple Rain

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Gorgeous, causally intimate, instant classic from the first note to the last harmonica blow. Favorite Track: Motion Pictures

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

4/5

Dream-inducing album. Favorite Track: Free Will and Testament

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo
