1001 Albums Summary

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

Jazz. Lovely jazz, but does nothing for me.

My Generation by The Who

Never listened to the whole thing all the way through. Phenomenal stuff.

Boston by Boston

The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

Nostalgia.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips

Always amazing, then and now.

On The Beach by Neil Young

Not my favorite of Neil’s, but not bad.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

God only knows what I’d be without you.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple

So raw. So good.

Metallica by Metallica

Childhood me was excited to listen again. Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold up. I know it’s cultural importance and all that, but this just might be the last time I listen on purpose.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Not for me.

Doolittle by Pixies

Yes, please.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch

Forgettable. Afterward I couldn’t tell you his name or a single song part.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

I’m already intrigued from the start. Fantastic stuff.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Disco Mike. Not Bad.

Ingenue by k.d. lang

Not for me.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black by Public Enemy

Old school jams.

Nevermind by Nirvana

No notes.

Ramones by Ramones

Fucking bop.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl

I understand if something isn’t for me but holds great historical or genre significance for one reason or another. This just baffles me. Lovely voice, but I’m struggling. I could easily die without hearing this.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis

Cracked out historic blues rock. Piano on, friend.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

One of my favorites. Too short, too sweet.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts

More mellow Siouxsie. I dig it.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker

Couple good jams and hooks. Nothing mind-blowing.

More Songs About Buildings And Food by Talking Heads

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Love me some Elvis.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Good background jam music while cleaning.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim by Frank Sinatra

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

I cried.

Movies by Holger Czukay

I get it, but meh.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs

The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

One of my favorites for 30 years.

Queen II by Queen

Casanova by The Divine Comedy

Cool vibes. I kept waiting for it to be just a little bit more something.

Street Life by The Crusaders

Urban Hymns by The Verve

The White Room by The KLF

Debut by Björk
