1001 Albums Summary

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor

Heroes by David Bowie

Young Americans by David Bowie

This was great. Had Heroes the day before and this is so much better. With the exception of a truly awful cover of Across the Universe. Don't know what possessed Bowie with that one.

Moon Safari by Air

Beautiful album. All I Need is one of the 'warmest' songs I've ever heard.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

Better than I expected but it's only thanks to a couple of standouts that it's not two stars

Odelay by Beck

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead

Thought doing this project thing would help to clear up some misconceptions that I might have about some bands. This album did not do that. First track is 20 minutes of noodling, doodling guitar playing that goes round in circles, never gets anywhere. It sounds like an improv jam where no one is paying any attention to what anyone else is doing or playing. 2nd track was better but it was also an anomaly, soon reverted to someone masturbating on a fretboard.
