You know what? It's not bad. I know, I'm also surprised. The first two songs I wanted to put my head through a wall. But once I loosened up and got into the headspace, I kind of enjoyed it. It was chill, it was interesting, it was kind of soothing. I don't know, man, it was pretty good.

Pretty good. I have never heard of this artist, and I grew up in the 90s. I'm not entirely sure who this is, or why it's on the list, but it was a decent listen.

It's a classic for a reason. Arguably the best of the Wu Tang Clan solo albums, all apologies to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. But the ratings on this project are predominately 65+ white men, so I'm sure the rating will be way too low because this isn't YET ANOTHER fucking Beatles album.

I'm giving this 4 stars. Could I see myself putting this in on purpose? Absolutely not. But I thought this was going to be miserable, and it was actually kind of fun. I'd love to give it 3.5 stars but such is the life we lead. Half star for not being another goddamned boring 60s rock album.

The first song is painfully bad. like, wtf bad. The second song isn't much better. It just sounds like whiny hippie shit. But then it starts to round out and it kind of sounds like an album of Irish funeral songs, which is kind of cool.

For the record, I have no earthly idea what Irish funeral songs actually sound like, or if that's even a thing.

This is an excellent album! I had heard a couple of the songs, but never the whole album. This one doesn't really have any of his more famous hits, like Hey Joe, or All Along the Watchtower, but it equally good in a mellower, more introspective sort of way, if that makes sense. Excellent album, and I'm glad it's on the list.

I have no idea how to rate this. Some songs are really catchy, some songs are syrupy and sound like the soundtrack to a 60s sitcom. I guess it's 3 stars? I don't care if I ever hear it again, and I probably never needed to hear it in the first place, but I'm not mad at it.

I wanted to like this more than I did, but it's extremely early grunge. It's not bad at all, but on my self-imposed rating scale, 4 is "I may occasionally play this album of my own free will" and 3 is "I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background." I'm a little caught between two minds here, but can I see myself thinking of this album if I'm in the mood for some sweet Seattle sounds? not really, if I'm honest. 3.5 stars

I was on vacation so I have a giant backlog of albums to get through. This is my second country album in 3 days, and if this keeps up I'm going to be caught up a lot quicker than expected.

I kind of like Motorhead, but I also don't understand why (almost) any live album is on this list. Live albums are almost always inevitably worse versions of the album songs, with the added irritation of feedback, crowd noise, and inane "banter" between songs.

As live albums go, this on is pretty decent, and it's always shocking to me that someone heard Lemmy sing and though, "yeah, we should record that," but it definitely works for him.

BerlinLou Reed

Rated 4/10

second drone-ass Lou Reed album I've gotten and why? He just sort of talks over some music. He has no range at all, everything he "sings" sounds like it's made for the same key, and they just add music later. it's just not interesting at all.

My last 12 albums have included this one, from 1966, and a 1981 album from bauhaus, and ten - TEN - albums from the 70s.

I am not yet to 1,000 records, but I have been forced to listen to more than 250 albums from the 70s. That is more albums than I have gotten from 1996 until 2026.

I have had more albums form the 60s and 70s combined than I have from the 90s until now.

I get it, art is subjective, but the bias in this project is exhausting. I'm sick to death of 60s and 70s rock that I've never heard of before. I'm not talking about Led Zeppelin albums, or Pink Floyd. Hell, I loathe The Rolling Stones, but I *understand* why they're on a list like this! but Do we really need THREE Tim Buckley albums? SIX albums from The Who?

Also, this album sucks. We DEFINITELY don't need two albums of this self-indulgent, self-masturbatory bullshit

Paris 1919John Cale

Rated 4/10

This is wild. I think of all the albums that did not make the cut, yet someone, presumably in all seriousness, felt like this piece of shit is one of the 1000 best albums ever released in the history of recorded music. I feel like I'm being trolled by this book sometimes.

Fine, I suppose. I don't understand people who act like this guys voice is the stuff of angels and dreams. It's pretty OK< sure, but even from his era, Nick Drake blows him out of the water. It's OK, I suppose, but I don't care if I ever hear it again.

Rated 6/10

Way better than I expected, so that's a pretty massive win in my book.
