1001 Albums Summary

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

First time I had sit down with this one and I very much enjoyed it. Had heard all the singles before so interesting to hear it in the context of the album

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

This is a great album! A bit more rocking than some of his other material

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Hadn't listened to much of their music outside of the millions of times they run on Classic Rock radio due to stuff like Smoke on the Water, but I think always had a good appreciation of where they stood within the rock/metal pantheon. I think this is a good entry point into their music. Fairly economical songs, and a great guitar record.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon

I was not familiar with this one going in at all. Maybe it will grow on further listening, but I was not a fan of this record. The Phil Spector stuff is never really a selling point for me, so I can't speak to the production as some sort of saving grace. There are some bits and bobs that were stronger than others, but I did not find the overall listening experience as pleasant

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

This one goes down super smooth. So light and airy

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

SY were always on the periphery of my music world back in the day, but I never dug too deep into them. Although I will say "The Diamond Sea" is one of my favorite tracks of theirs (not on this album though) I liked this one quite a bit and probably will be revisiting again in the near future

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Awesome album. Some of my favorite tunes of theirs. Wild Horses is unbeatable

Transformer by Lou Reed

I was a little surprised by this, but in a good way. Knew Walk on the Wildside of course, but wasn't as familiar with what surrounded it. I didn't know the history with Bowie and Ronson either, and how it was considered "glam". Solid

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

This one holds a special place in my heart. This is the first cassette I bought with my own money. 5 stars, no notes

The Renaissance by Q-Tip

I had really only consumed Q-Tip's music through A Tribe Called Quest, which is all time(plus his great guest spot on Get it Together from Ill Communication). A lot of the Tribe aesthetic does bleed over into the production on this album, with maybe some more overt R&B inflections. Maybe just to my ear. A solid album

The White Room by The KLF

I was pretty bored by this one. But then again, I am not doing drugs in some European club in the 90's

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd) by Lynyrd Skynyrd

New Wave by The Auteurs

Chelsea Girl by Nico

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols

I thought this was a cool little piece of power pop. Definitely will be looking to check out some more of their catalogue

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

Just a complete and tremendous album. So extremely talented

Different Class by Pulp

Not a band I was super familiar with, but knew them from general conversation on the Brit Pop resurgence. Generally well constructed songs but the sneer is fairly heavy on the vocals. Good harmonies

Every Picture Tells A Story by Rod Stewart

Raspy Rod

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic

What a wild album. Had no expectations going in, probably for the best. I probably need some more time with it, but I would say that there's a lot of good material here. Pretty funky

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

Top notch bleep bloop

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

Top notch folk pop

Doolittle by Pixies

Top notch loud-quiet-loud

Top notch piano pop

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley

Let's Stay Together by Al Green

Top notch soul

Mothership Connection by Parliament

Top notch funky business

Top notch opera rap

Mid tier

Good bluesy electronica

Top notch space pop

Live At Leeds by The Who

Top notch maximum R&B

Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Top notch art pop

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings

The Real Thing by Faith No More

Unimpeachable. Perfect album

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Good pop with a dash of disco

At Budokan by Cheap Trick

Top notch power pop. *Cue screaming girls*

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

Top notch Radiohead

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

Tremendous harmonies and song writing

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg

Top notch G Funk

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Good folk pop

On The Beach by Neil Young

Smash by The Offspring

Pretty damn good pop punk

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan

Top notch production on this one. Just a classic

Beautiful Freak by Eels

Pretty good 90s Alt Rock

Your New Favourite Band by The Hives

Decent garage rock. It's over quickly!

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age

So by Peter Gabriel

Weird to hear it outside of the singles, which were so popular at the time. Pretty solid

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

L.A. Woman by The Doors

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council

A kind of wild mish mash of styles and sounds. Probably not something I would revisit

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

21 by Adele

Destroyer by KISS

Connected by Stereo MC's

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

All Directions by The Temptations

The La's by The La's

"There She Goes" is a 10/10 banger, but the rest of the album is a little lacking in that same drive, at least to my ears. Bordered on rockabilly in some parts

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals

Really liked this one. Was not very familiar with them but definitely liked the vibe

Imagine by John Lennon

I enjoyed this much more than the previous Lennon/Ono band record, which I thought was a slog, outside of a few good tracks

It's so ingrained in our consciousness at this point, that it can be easy to dismiss. Late nights driving, bonfires with friends, and planetarium shows do not dull the power of the music one iota. The band will change and they will move in very different directions as the personal relationships start to fracture and business really starts to get in the way of the music, but this will always be a perfect document
