1001 Albums Summary

Hot Fuss by The Killers

Initial Thoughts: not happy with this one lol. I’ve only heard the ultra popular mr bright side and i despise it

The Idiot by Iggy Pop

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

All the songs sound the same🤷‍♀️

Who's Next by The Who

Murmur by R.E.M.

Vibey but none of the songs stuck out to me

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits

Low-Life by New Order

Teen Dream by Beach House

Vibey but it didn’t stick out to me

Tommy by The Who

The College Dropout by Kanye West

This is objectively good it’s just not my style

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon

Too boring for me, a bit hokey. Not my style

The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

Absolutely incredible album. Must be listened to in 1 sitting. A piece of performance aside from just a collection of songs

Live At Leeds by The Who

I like a lot of the who’s stuff but this many albums and a live one is kind of crazy when so many amazing artists are excluded. This didn’t stuck out to me and I didn’t save any if the songs

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

I feel like this something I would like but her voice just isn’t for me- I could see other people loving this tho

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

I didn’t give this five stars because of sentimentality- this album is truly a striking cultural commentary on the Vietnam era, touching on war, drugs, and class struggle. Honest and shaking with themes that continue to resonate

90 by 808 State

Not for me

The World is a Ghetto by War

Really liked this. I love some super long vocal runny songs with tons of 70s beats. Reminds me in *some* ways of Pink Floyd

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

I’m sorry Ella I know ur a legend but 3 hours and a 4 disc album is insane. I wish they would’ve chosen a more reasonable length and something a bit more curated

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel

Biased because I love David Bowie and he often talks about what a big influence Brel was on him. I haven’t ever actually listened to Brel though I love Bowies covers of Amsterdam and My Death. This album wasn’t a relisten for me but I did like two of the songs a lot

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

The Next Day by David Bowie

I love David Bowie so I’m biased but I am kind of surprised this the cut for 1001 albums- unless there’s like 10 of his other albums I’m surprised they’d choose this one. Yes, it’s significant as his comeback and I certainly like many of the songs on it but this is not notable imo compared to MOST of his other albums. I still like it tho because it’s David Bowie
