1001 Albums Summary

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

Brilliant

Green by R.E.M.

Love the first track and the unique use of mandolin. It’s unusual to hear that kind of gentle sound in rock context.

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Incredible arrangements, so many changes and colours and moods

Moving Pictures by Rush

Cool blend of synths and guitars. Sounds very 80s, but I can tell how this album influenced a few artists who came after.

Chicago Transit Authority by Chicago

Funk, blues, jazz and everything in between.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

Never knew I needed Irish folk punk, but this was fun. Not something I’d listen to on daily basis, but it was a curious new experience.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

First time hearing this album, but easily one of my favourite new era rock albums along with Wolfmother and The Hives. Love it.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba

Interesting and beautifully recorded

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy

Great musicianship, but not for me

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Very cool. First time hearing it. Can understand why Radiohead is so popular.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen

Beautifully mixed album. Light low end, but so crisp and clear. Not my usual listening, but an interesting experience non the less.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

What a classic

Dirt by Alice In Chains

Love the guitar sound. Somehow the album sounds more dated than nirvana even though I can feel the era in the sound

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics

Love this kind of music, although part of me can’t help but feel like it sounds like cultural appropriation, especially considering the era in which it was recorded

Manassas by Stephen Stills

Cool

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

Cool

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno

Weird and unique

Medúlla by Björk

I love Bjork, I think she’s so unique and creative and smart, but this album, I wouldn’t call it pleasurable listening for me. It’s more like curiosity listening. I’m interested in the ideas, but I need to be in the right sort of mood to listen through the whole thing.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Very cool, layered 80s sound. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

I think I just love the sound of this era, the brass and strings arrangement, the warm vocals and soft drums and the dramatic and melancholic chord changes. Loved this album.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant

It was cool. Didn’t sound like something made in 2010.

Music by Madonna

Terrible. Couldn’t take it seriously with the ridiculous lyrics…

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

Still not a fan. I was always a fan of Dan the Automator and Del, but gorillaz just never did it for me. I feel like it’s kind of neither here nor there. I don’t hate it. It’s just mostly kind of boring.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke

Was cool. Kind of punk, electronic rock type of thing. Don’t know the correct genre terminology.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

It’s ok. Not my type of rock. But I understand the appeal.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Pretty cool. Comfortable rock.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Loved it. Fun album

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

First track was really cool

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Cool. Like it.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young

It’s ok

Classic

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto

Classic

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Sounds funny now. Association with silly characters in comedy movies. Like jack black etc.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Hearing after a long time. Some songs are really off key. And also it’s sometimes hard to take serious because of how much she over enunciates every word and how lyrics are a bit silly

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods

Loved it

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Very 80s
