1001 Albums Summary

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

Not much in typical Queen music I’m familiar with so I only enjoyed a few songs. Bring back Leroy brown and tenement funster were my favorite.

Melodrama by Lorde

Good album… not as good as her first. Solid listen

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

Good listening, was traveling so I couldn’t read lyrics and didn’t rate each song. I enjoyed more than I thought I would

Beautiful Freak by Eels

Thought it was alright. I could hear glimpses of music I like but not enough. No song got above a three.

A Night At The Opera by Queen

A better album than sheer heart attack. Has one of my favorite song, bohemian rhapsody.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

Easy listening…pleasant. First time listening to Ella for an extended period.

Sheet Music by 10cc

Wasn’t familiar with this band…from Wikipedia they had two different sounds depending on who wrote the songs…not bad

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Nice listening and enjoyed hearing the crowd.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Better than I expected. Wouldn’t say I ever listen again but I have a new respect for Iron Maiden

Document by R.E.M.

Good REM album with two popular songs on it…couple other songs were real good but with other REM albums songs all seem the same

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream

Easy listening all instrumental…I’m assuming they are pioneers in the type of sound…

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart

Nice easy folksy music…not sure why it is included on the list as it doesn’t seem noteworthy

Moving Pictures by Rush

Knew a couple of songs, Tom Sawyer and limelight. Giving a three could be four if it had one more standout song. Enjoyed it

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Never listened to this album…the longest one from the list so far but seemed to go pretty fast…knew more songs than I thought I would

Live! by Fela Kuti

This is why I’m doing this project to hear albums like this that I would never otherwise be exposed. This is awesome from the start.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch

Thought it was an average, haven’t been too impressed with the folk genre on this list

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

An okay album with a couple of songs I knew

Legalize It by Peter Tosh

Reggae is not my favorite genre so it was kinda of struggle to get through it. The last couple of songs brought it up to three stars

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement

This was probably my least favorite album so far. I have never been able to get into pavement.

Station To Station by David Bowie

Good album…never gotten into Bowie so it is good start…reading the wiki page is that he was high recording this and doesn’t remember it.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

Enjoyed a lot more then I thought I would. I hear their influence in today alternative music

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Alright album, a couple of songs brought it up to a three

Hard Again by Muddy Waters

Good album, I was excited to listen to it but I was busy with work so I didn’t get to pay a lot of attention. It seemed like all the songs sounded the same.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye

It was okay…kinda of depressing
