1001 Albums Summary

Stardust by Willie Nelson

Very late night very easy Listening. Not unpleasant!

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

Great classic rock

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

A whole album worth of sultans of swing

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja

Average hip hop / rap

Who's Next by The Who

A jubilant slice of classic 70s rock. Tumbling rolling drums. Mold-breaking. Baba O Riley. Behind Blue Eyes.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips

Kaleidoscopic musical experimentation, mostly inoffensive to the ears and thankfully ignored by the brain. the whiney echoey vocals remind me of Mr hankey and I can't shake it. Something about it doesn't latch with me and the lyrics are utterly nonsensical. Race for the prize is the only song worthy of a single release. In fact a release at all.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

Lovely, relaxing and thoughtful Vibes. 3/4 of the album are quite average by today's standards though and not quite the level of epic I'd expect.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Pretty good.

Metallica by Metallica

Rough round the edges but a solid rock album

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen

Berlin by Lou Reed

Miserable chatting man with noise

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits

Hard work but lovely under the crust

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Very good.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Before And After Science by Brian Eno

Morrison Hotel by The Doors

Clean, loud, stereoscopic. Great.

Ingenue by k.d. lang

Gentle folk pop. Not constantly craving it but constant craving is decent enough.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals

Funky, upbeat and chillin.

Tidal by Fiona Apple

So sleepy it made me miss my junction and nearly end up on the motorway with no idea where I was heading

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Hammond organ. Lovely for a track or two but a whole album............

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney

Noisy thrash guitar.

Bummed by Happy Mondays

Bummed indeed.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant

En-Tact by The Shamen

Alright, bluetones-esque 90s fodder.

Dookie by Green Day

The Coral by The Coral

Nice but not spectacular

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Super. Fly. Yes. Incredible. No. Leopard print shoes, smokey velvet jacket and a diamond encrusted cane is the order of the day.

Chelsea Girl by Nico

Fuck off flute

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

Absolute rock bottom

Ray Of Light by Madonna

Great pop with an ambient/trance twist

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

Better than I thought. Bordering on mumble rap. Still not convinced he gives a shit about what he's talking about but some of the lyrics are halfway decent.

Modern Life Is Rubbish by Blur

All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto

Nice enough but something I'd listen to again unless I'm hosting a tapas night
