1001 Albums Summary

Short, but sweet. Definitely a preview of the punk band to come. The definitive '77 punk album (Sex Pistols need not apply.) Favorite song: Police & Thieves

Excellent gangsta rap album, as well as an excellent output from a then-up-and-coming Snoop Dogg. Among the best in the rap genre, as well as all-time.

Notes: listened to this album at work, and at home. Man, this album oozes energy. I've read that this album precedes punk by a LOT, and it shows; 35 minutes of pure noisy rock, all killer, no filler. And to think, this came out the same year as Abbey Road and Tommy! What a counterpoint to those two. Favorite track: No Fun
