1001 Albums Summary

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

A classic I haven't heard in full. Definitely something my mom and dad would love

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

While I appreciate the importance of this album, it isn't Zep's best. I mean it doesn't even have Ramble On! Blue's covers only go so far

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

The beats on this album are great and I fin it interesting but the rapping is very boring.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

A damn classic. It even has their two most popular songs on it but don't let them distract form the rest of this bad boy

The Clash by The Clash

Great but not their best album. White Riot slaps and is socially conscious

...Like Clockwork by Queens Of The Stone Age

Pretty cool. I already tried to give this album a listen a few years ago but something about it just doesn't hook me

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's

A classic. Not just an 80's classic, not just a new wave classic. A classic. I could bump this all day

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney

A very cool album. I would never have head it but I am so lfad I did. Bands that started as punk bands make for cool bands.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper

Average in the start, more interesting as it goes, not so great at the end

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics

A very good classic. Sweet Dreams just blows me away every time

The Score by Fugees

Wow I finally see why this is so popular

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

I would listen to this on drugs
