1001 Albums Summary

Classic, lyrical, easy to listen to in a way that feels like coming home. I've heard a lot of these songs individually over the years and it's easy to see why Dylan is such an inspiration for artists of all ages. One of the greats.

Slick rhymes and steady flow, hallmarks of old school hip-hop. A Tribe Called Quest were doing it and doing it right, and it remains a touchstone for the present day.

Just as brash and full of the same driving beats that define their later efforts, Franz Ferdinand's self-titled debut hits just as hard as it did 20 years ago.

Probably the apex of the White Stripes' signature sound, before things gave way to the more experimental and before Jack went off on other adventures.
