1001 Albums Summary

Really beautiful, melodic stuff. The lyricism is excellent and even the moments that feel like filler are still great. Just a really stunning record overall and understandably considered the peak of indie folk in the 2000s.

A really great albeit mildly overrated record. It does have some lyrical misses like Ballad of a Thin Man, but the greatness of the songwriting on cuts like Tombstone Blues as well as the earnesty in Bob's voice through songs like From a Buick 6 and Like a Rolling Stone still make this a standout in his discography.

Easily one of The Who's best. This record was basically proof that the band were way more than just a typical classic rock outfit (though they were excellent beforehand as well). From the instrumentals to the product-placement inspired thematics, this album is electric.

I mean it's a classic for a reason. It's rare to come across something that feels plugged-in yet acoustic all the same. In fact, this may be the only mostly-acoustic glam rock album I've ever heard of. While I think that Bowie's glam peers like T. Rex still deserve just as much credit for their contributions to the industry, Hunky Dory is proof as to why the soon-to-be Ziggy Stardust is such a legend.
