1001 Albums Summary

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis

Phrenology by The Roots

Stankonia by OutKast

A great album full of energy, let down only by the skits and a couple of duff tracks.

L.A. Woman by The Doors

Great rock album. Side two has no duff tracks on it and the title track kills!

Garbage by Garbage

I've only ever heard and enjoyed the singles before, so it was no surprise to discover this is a great rock/pop album, Shirley Manson has an excellent voice.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith

Classic rock from the grandfathers of hair metal.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel

Fantastic harmonies and wonderful songs

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

Not a bad debut, some duffers on here (looking at you Brass Monkey and Girls) but overall decent.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth

One of the finest heavy metal albums ever made 5/5

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart

Sounds like a rough demo rather than a fully realised album. Quite poor.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen never resonated with me and this album, despite its themes, doesn't either.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

Just a brilliant album from start to finish. Classic rock and roll don't get much better than this.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

Classic psychedelic album. Beautiful songs, gorgeous harmonies fantastic vibe

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

A very enjoyable listen.

Parachutes by Coldplay

Pleasant if dull. First side is stronger than second but ultimately it is background music.

Murmur by R.E.M.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile

OK 80's arty-pop. Some nice melodies and tunes but the singer sounds like an out of tune Peter Gabriel.

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Transformer by Lou Reed

Scum by Napalm Death

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp

nice but nothing essential. Pleasant background noise.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor

I like the slower acoustic sounds. Her voice is better suited to that.

Something Else By The Kinks by The Kinks

Bossanova by Pixies

Second Toughest In The Infants by Underworld

NEU! 75 by Neu!

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg

Groovy late 60s/early 70s psychedelic/blues jam vibe with some awesome bass work. Jean-Claude Vannier knows his to write some lovely melodies (pun not intended)

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles

great voice but some of the songs are a little big band-y for my liking.

Close To The Edge by Yes

While it doesn't match Fragile's greatness, it's still a really good prog classic.
