1001 Albums Summary

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Providing many influences but not an album for me

Amnesiac by Radiohead

The World is a Ghetto by War

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

I've always heard of The Velvet Underground as being pioneers/influencers and so on.. what a load of drivel.. This particular album is in my opinion borderline assault and I've heard plenty of ropey music in my time. I really fail to understand how after recording and then listening back to the finished work they had the cahoonies to actually subject the listening world to it.
