Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
First album of the generator. Quite a famous Neil Young album, but not one I've listened to (Harvest being my most familiar album of his), though of course I know the track "My My, Hey Hey". Thought this album quite strange, in that it jumps around in style and genre. Latter half of the album gave me a sort of glam rock vibe!

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
Not my favourite Steely Dan album, Aja is pretty hard to beat. Nevertheless, this is pretty good, the final two tracks in particular.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I have an irrational dislike of Nick Cave, don't know when it started, so the idea of an 80 minute double album does not appeal in the slightest. I lasted about 25 minutes.

Classic. Songs a little overlong at times though, with not quite enough progression and development. Worthy album on the 1,000 list just for ‘Brown Paper Bag’ alone.

Urban Hymns
The Verve
Always thought this album started amazingly well, but loses steam at “Neon Wilderness”, picks back up briefly with “Lucky Man” only to immediately peter out again. Some great songs, and singles, but not one of the great long players for me.

Really great storytelling lyrics. And the production, mix and master are very good indeed: love the stereo panning, the BV stacks and the reverbs on the lead. Incredible for an album recorded in 1959.
