A bunch of hits on here and the rest is great! You can't go wrong with Aretha. One of the best voices of all time with variety of songs with meaning behind them. Even if you don't like this genre of music, you can't deny its brilliance.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I thought "People Get Ready" was by Rod Stewart, but apparently it's not by Aretha Franklin either. It's originally by the The Impressions.

I'm surprised that the anti-trans far right movement hasn't co-opted "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman". Get a blond white woman singing that with a country twang, and you have a new confederacy national anthem.

I really like The Who, but half of this album feels like they're just trying to be The Beatles. It feels like they start to find their voice around "My Generation". I still enjoyed this album, but less than most debut albums for me.

Do you think bands plan on making 10+ minute long songs, or is it a situation where they need to fill time? "Alright everyone that's a wrap. Good work. Wait a minute... we've only got 23 minutes here. Think you guys can just sort of jam out for another 20 minutes?"

I was vibing with this album at the start, but it started to lose me with the long songs.

Who can listen to "Freedom! '90" and not sing along at the top of your lungs Freedom, Freedom, Freedom!!!? Outside of that song, the first half of the album didn't really do much for me. The second half on the other hand I really enjoyed. This was going to be a 3 for me until I heard the rendition of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at the end of "Waiting for That Day". That bumped it to a 4.

After reading the description for this album and listening to the first song, I thought it was going to be way more metal and heavy than it was. This was a relatively easy listen with plenty of song variation to keep it interesting. My expectations were low coming in which I think helps. There was also some random snippets of Drum and Bass throughout the album which I thought was interesting.

How do you pronounce her name? Is it (Say-dee), or (Say-duh)? Is it just (Sad)?

Easy to listen to and I knew a few songs.

I can see why people like Alice In Chains, but they're not really for me. I'm giving them a three because I do like "Rooster".

I branded 2 dozen steer and smoked a pack of Marlboro Red while listening to this album.

I would have preferred listing to an actual orchestra. I liked the last minute of "Zopf: Giles Farnaby's Dream". That's about it.

This feels like background music for a '90s heist movie montage where the tech guy is sneaking into the mainframe to hack all the cameras as a setup to the final heist at the end of the movie.

This feels like the favorite album of a girl you'd date the summer after high school.

You were young, naive, and innocent. She pushed your boundaries, gave you new experiences, and showed you a part of life you never knew. It felt like she had everything figured out. Like nothing could get in her way or throw her off, but in reality she was just as young and naive as you were. You knew the relationship would never last, but that summer changed your life.

You're now happily married with a loving wife and three kids. Your middle child is going off to college and life couldn't be better, but you keep catching yourself thinking back to that girl with the Jagged Little Pill CD and some of the best two months of your life.

I always thought that I was not an Arctic Monkeys fan because I was so annoyed with "Do I Want to Know" on the radio all the time... I really liked this album! I liked it so much that I listened to it back to back. After listening to this album twice, I decided to listen to their biggest album AM..... which I hated. I don't know why I dislike Arctic Monkeys, but I like this album so much. Maybe it's because I didn't know any of the songs on here, or maybe I'm just a sucker for debut albums. On a 10 point scale I would rank this as a 9. I'm going to round up here and make it a 5 out of 5.

I was not expecting to see a movie soundtrack on this list. It's a beautiful soundtrack, but without the context of the movie it all feels out of place. My guess is that the author of 1001 really liked this movie and the soundtrack brings back those feelings.

Yeah it's gonna be a Slip no for me, dawg.

This is another album that in theory I should love, but I just didn't connect with. Nothing jumped out for me. Songs were long and meandering with no real payoff. I felt mostly bored with this one.

Picture this.....

You wake up Monday morning after a 3 day cocaine bender with the phone ringing. You answer it and it's the famous movie producer on the other line. He reminds you that the movie score you promised him is due today. In a panic and with your head pounding, you tell him it's done and you'll have it to him this afternoon. You reach for your music collection, while barely holding in your hungover nausea, and find this album. You think to yourself "yeah, this could work as background music in any movie". 8 months go by and you have been blacklisted by Hollywood. You now live under an overpass next to the freeway known only as the man who scored 'Schindler's List 2' with 'Back at the Chicken Shack'. 4 out of 5 stars

This album was way more fun than it deserves to be. It should be so dated and cheesy that it's painful to listen to, but the formula just works. "Walk This Way" should be in the conversation whenever we bring up great covers. This was definitely my one year olds favorite album.

Don't worry everyone. Janet Jackson has solved: racism, world hunger, illiteracy, drug use, gang violence, and poverty.

Honestly, I can't really make fun of someone for trying to use their success to try and make the world a better place. It may be a little naive of her to think that an album can change the world, but she's still going to try one boob at a time.

I didn't dislike this album at all. I would be lying if I said that I would listen to it again, but it's not bad. A perfect 3 for me.

This album wasn't necessarily a struggle to get through. More so it just blended into my subconscious while it played in the background. This is a new genre that I only heard about when someone asked if there was a D&B album on the 1001 list. I thought the nature of the genre would lead to a bunch of artists sampling songs off of here, but that really wasn't the case (at least from what I could find). I think it's best use is how it was first shown to me as the Toonami background music while Anime clips played over it.

I now know the name of the band that sings that one song.
