1001 Albums Summary

Not Bowie's best, but the hits are undeniable

Not Miles' best, but cool nonetheless

I've been avoiding the Smiths for a long time thinking they wouldn't really be my thing, but this is actually pretty decent

Outside my usual wheelhouse, but def a fun listen

Mindbending

My dad would go crazy for this, but it ain't doin it for me

They do be echoing

Not my fave Steely Dan, but any major dude will tell you that this still rocks

Interesting for it's historical significance, but there's better punk out there and John Lydon went on to better things with Public Image Ltd.

This just ain't for me

Enchanting vocals and really fun live environment

Mystical folk. I dig it

Love da organ

Fun

Title track and Thunder Road undeniably go hard

You already know

Snooze. DNF

Meh

Pass

Eh, feels quaint and a little too safe for me

Kinda rips

Scott is a great singer, but I think I still like Scott 4 better

eh... DNF

Fun but forgettable, probably won't listen to it again

Some of Neil's finest. A haunting and raw album.

Album cover goes harder than it has any right to.

Rockin'

Wow wow, very cool, but a little bit samey after a while

Eh, one Dusty was enough for me... DNF

You already know. It's their best.

I think I prefer Getz's album with Gilberto, but this is still really enjoyable

This rocks harder than I thought it would

Bleak bleak bleak, but so so good

Race for the Prize is an all timer

GOATed

Neat

Eh, DNF

Fun

Todd’s best

It's fine, but doesn't hold a candle to their later stuff

I'm comin around on the Smiths

Ain't for me, DNF

Snooze... DNF

Wow, very beautiful and subtle. I can tell this will be a grower that I'll probably like more on repeated listens

Meh

Good stuff, maybe even better than the self-titled.

None of these songs are Come On Eileen... DNF

Fun stuff

Snooze, lacks the aura that older Bossanova has. DNF

3 all time hits, but the rest is filler

GOATed live environment

I don't know, I'm just not a grunge guy, DNF

I've always found the lead singer a little corny, but La Grange is an all timer

Enjoyable

Not my fave, but I def have some nostalgia for Even Flow and the other singles as a former Guitar Hero Boy

Legendary

A little corny, nothing as electric as Seven Nation Army

Damn...

Bleepin good

Really fun

Enjoyable, but not my thing really

Nah, DNF

Hard

Eh

Decent. Really dig You Can Call Me Al

Not really my thing, a lil bit corny and horny

Impeccable ambient, spaced out

Every song is so long, man, kind of a slog, but One is an all timer

Neil at his peak. One of my all time favorite albums, period.

Haunting, didn't know Bruce had it in him. State Trooper is like if Bruce wrote a Suicide song, absolutely crazy

Bangers only

Classic

Eh, sounds like a less interesting Scott Walker. DNF

Fun 60s psych, real good version of Bob's My Back Pages

Decent New Wave

Never really knew anything about Arcade Fire before this except for their general popularity as classic indie rock. Pretty neat, very grandiose, didn't grip me initially but might with repeated listens

Some good hard tracks, some kinda corny

I swear they only chose the corniest mid-ass electronic music for this list. DNF

All time greatest. It's like watching a rock band disintegrate in the best way, songs like Holocaust or Kanga Roo. This album makes me feel things.

I prefer CSN with Y. This is good, but doesn't hold a candle to Deja Vu. Judy Blue Eyes is an all timer though.

A little too safe for my jazz tastes, it's fine but never excited me
