Day 1: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness—Smashing Pumpkins One of my favorite albums of all time. Spent countless hours listening to this when it came out and over the years. It’s just as good today as it was back then. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 2: Nevermind—Nirvana I really love this album. The first 7 tracks are basically perfect. Th only songs I dislike dislike are Stay Away and Endless, Nameless, but I don't really count that one against the album since it wasn't on the original. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 4: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs—Marty Robbins This is some kind of shit my great grandma probably loved. I wouldn’t just put this on to jam, but would give anything to cruise around with her in her Thunderbird with this going on the radio. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 5: High Violet—The National My indie cred is damaged by the fact that I've never listened to a full The National album. Heard many songs, just never got super into them. Really happy to listening through this. It's good! I’m a fan! #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 7: Joshua Tree—U2 This is the peak of good U2 before they became the most pretentious band of all time. Only songs I don’t like are One Tree Hill and Exit. Will always have a soft spot for this stupid band. One of the best concert experience of my life. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 12: Cosmo’s Factory—Creedence Clearwater Revival I grew up on this band, mostly through Chronicles Vol 1, but most of the tracks on here are also on that. Discovered Ramble Tamble, which I love and Ooby Dooby, which I hate. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 14: Gasoline Alley—Rod Stewart Turns out I hate Rod Stewart. Just too much going on. Someone just randomly blows a whistle in the second track. Like really lays into it. The mix is so weird. Like the instruments were too loud so they just turned up the vocals. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 17: Arrival—ABBA After 3 albums that I didn’t love, I was happy to release my inner dancing queen. I’m pretty sure ABBA are white supremacists, which I obviously don’t love, but they knew how to lay down a funky beat and a catchy lyric. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 21: Midnight Ride—Paul Revere & The Raiders The only 2 songs I was familiar with on this album are Kicks and Stepping Stone. The later because of the Monkey's cover.

Day 23: Fat of the Land—Prodigy I like several of the songs well enough, but the whole thing sounds like the soundtrack to a drug montage in a movie before everything goes bad. Like it’s sped up to 3x following some guy snorting coke and partying for 3 days. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 29: L.A. Woman—The Doors I like how bluesy this is. I know the couple hit songs from this and like them a lot, but was surprised by how rough Jim Morrison's voice is on much of the album. All the hits I've heard usually aren't so gravelly. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 30: Tubular Bells—Mike Oldfield First thought was “Why is the Exorcist score on this list?” I truly don’t understand why this is on here. Like, who is this for? Could have released a dozen songs, instead it’s a dozen songs mashed together into 2. I don’t get it. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 31: Will the Circle Be Unbroken—Nitty Gritty Dirt Band I love bluegrass so this was very enjoyable. I don't love that it's 2 discs and 2+ hours long. Also, the confederate flags on the cover don't give me good feelings. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 32: Electric Prunes—The Electric Prunes Kind of boring. Not sure why this is on the list. Even the band members didn't like it because they weren't allowed to write any of the songs and thought most of them were fillers. I’d rather just listen to the Beatles. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 37: Bossanova—Pixies Another one of those bands that I only know the hits. I liked this, but felt very disjointed to me. Like every other song could have been a different band. The whole thing just didn’t gel as an album. It’s good though! #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 43: System of a Down—System of a Down When I first heard this in HS, I hadn't really heard anything like it at the time. Skull crushing metal mixed with Serj's unique vocal style and range. This album ruled then and it rules now. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 107: Superunknown—Soundgarden Finally, an album from the actual best decade instead of another album from the 70s. RIP Chris Cornell. What a voice! #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 108: Funeral—Arcade Fire Incredible album. Not sure if this is my favorite Arcade Fire, but it's so good. I think I have more of a fondness for Neon Bible, since that is the album that really got me into them, but I’m not sure. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 110: You Want It Darker—Leonard Cohen First time listening to this. I love Leonard Cohen. Such a gorgeous album. That man knew how to write a song. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 111: Time Out Of Mind—Bob Dylan I've never listened to any Bob Dylan outside of the 60s and 70s. I really liked this. Looks like the 80s aren't worth my time, but need to check out more of his later work. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 112: The White Album—Beatles This might be my favorite Beatles album. It definitely has some all-timers on it, like Blackbird (my favorite Beatles track) and While My Guitar Gently Weeps (maybe my 3rd favorite after Hey Jude). #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 116: Music Has The Right To Children—Boards of Canada A little too chill for my taste, but I'm not much of an EDM fan anyway. Not even sure if that’s the right blanket term these days. Not bad to have in the background, but the interludes were a bit distracting. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 118: Life Thru A Lens—Robbie Williams Not sure if this makes sense, but I feel like if I had heard this in the 90s when I was really into bands like Vertical Horizon, I might be a fan today. As it is, this is ok and fine. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 120: Hunky Dory—David Bowie I'll admit it, I have never listened to Bowie. I know him more as a pop culture figure and couldn't name a song if you asked. Was pleased to know many songs on this, but didn't know who sang them. Incredible album! Life on Mars? 😍 #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 123: Elephant—The White Stripes Big fan of this album. I don’t remember why, but whenever my wife and I would hear Seven Nation Army come on the radio we would say “hey, our song is on”. Just a weird inside joke that neither of us remembers the origin for. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 128: The Stooges—The Stooges This was good. I liked it a lot less than Raw Power. The worst part was We Will Fall. Never understood 10+ minute songs in the middle of an album that are just so boring and slow. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 131: The Rise & Fall—Madness I don't love this, but it's not bad. Not a band that ever got big in the US. Their biggest hit is Our House, which is the only song I recognize. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 133: The Doors—The Doors I like the hits on here, and this is probably my favorite Doors album, but I'm not the biggest fan. This is the 3rd Doors album on this list and I kinda hope it's the last. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 135: Dookie—Green Day This album was ahead of its time. I’m not a big fan of a lot of pop punk and Green Day is kinda responsible for a lot of that popularity, but this album existing is worth all of the bad music that came from it. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 136: Here Are the Sonics—The Sonics Pretty cool, but unsure about why _this_ particular album is one of 1000 I have to hear before I die. There's a lot of covers that don't do anything particularly inventive. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 140: Dig Your Own Hole—The Chemical Brothers Basically have the same thoughts on this as Prodigy a few weeks ago. Makes me think of every drug use, rave, or hacker scene in 90s/00s film and tv. I do like it, but over an hour is a bit tiresome. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 143: My Aim Is True—Elvis Costello Elvis Costello is a blind spot for me. I've never listened to anything. I don't dislike this, but most of the album just feels kinda samey to me. I did like hearing Alison, which I only know from New Girl 😂 #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 144: You've Come a Long Way Baby—Fatboy Slim This is pretty fun, but hard to take seriously because I've heard some of the songs so many times in movies and commercials and stuff. It's like a happier version of The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

Day 145: Axis: Bold As Love—Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix is a legend. The guitar work is just on a different level. This style of music isn't something I care to listen to often, but there are some jams on here for sure. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com

I’m sure you’ve all be enjoying these mini reviews very much, but I got bored and don’t feel like doing this anymore. Lol. It was fun for 146 days. I told myself I would go to 200, but life’s too short. #1001albumsPermalink On twitter.com
