1001 Albums Summary

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

Super goth and dark, but also reminded me of modern dream-pop-y bands with the chorus tone on the guitar. Yes, I realize the Cure came first, but that's just what came to mind. A Forest is really good.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Knew about half of the songs before. Classic album.
