1001 Albums Summary

American Idiot by Green Day

Is This It by The Strokes

Already a favourite

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

Dad probably likes this. Can hear that they are very talented musicians. Blues and rock and roll version of jazz improvisation.

Smash by The Offspring

Own this one. Listened to it quite a lot in high school.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Lots of well known classics

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

Solid. First time I’d listened from beginning to end. Contains a song I hadn’t realised was joy division (she’s lost control)

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

Hadn’t heard this before but liked it. Not surprised to learn afterwards that Danger Mouse was involved.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Had never listens before

In It For The Money by Supergrass

It’s ok, a bit forgettable though.

Low by David Bowie

Arise by Sepultura

Not a fan. Couldn’t tell most of the songs apart.

A Seat at the Table by Solange

Has some ok songs. Would be good background music if it wasn’t for the spoken sections.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground

My kind of hip-hop but the spoken word parts get a bit tiring

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

Strange to think that gigs like this used to be played in prisons. Can’t imagine it happening now.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

John Prine by John Prine

Country and western. Not really for me.
