1001 Albums Summary

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Not my favorite type of vibe but hard to say this isn’t a good album. Like the Neil Young driven tracks the best. Helpless and Country Girl are great songs

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

All these songs sound the same and I don’t care for the same vocal effects on every track

Document by R.E.M.

A Night At The Opera by Queen

The Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks

Too whimsical and kind of annoying. Sorry to those who love this record but I don’t get it and didn’t enjoy it.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music by Ray Charles

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

I don’t know. I guess it’s fine but every song has to do that “”tweedle, tweedle, sing in synch” thing. Guinevere is a very good song.

Follow The Leader by Korn

How did this make the list but Tool and Deftones did not?

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye

Synchronicity by The Police

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

Blunderbuss by Jack White

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd

I used to listen to this album when I was 14 and thought it was weird and cool. Now I realize there isn’t an actual “song” I would put on again.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

This album is a problem for the list for obvious reasons- few of us have time to listen to a 3+ hour entry. And it’s not intended to be listened to in a sitting.

Who's Next by The Who

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu

I get why this album scares many away. It’s experimental, raw, and weird. I think Peru Zuni is better explored through one of their live albums or a compilation.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

Love the pixies but Doolittle and Bossanova rank a little higher for me. This album is a big raw and less coherent
