My 1001 Albums Journey

Green Day

3/5

I have heard it so much it’s difficult to reflect on it in this way. It was the sound track to my middle school years. I wasn’t mature enough to understand the lyrics at the time and didn’t much care about music either. Looking back at it, it’s certainly a good and influential album.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

I can definitely hear a lot of influence in the album. Got a little screamy for me towards the end and I had to shut it down.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

Not for me.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

This was just ok for me. Sounded like the soundtrack to a movie I haven’t seen.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

Went in with zero expectations. Enjoyed it. A couple of the vocals were pretty rough and had to hit next.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

2/5

Meh. Neil young is Neil Young. Not for me.

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

1/5

It was ok. Vocals were rough at first. Little too punky.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

1/5

Irritating for the most part and I felt like it was an inside joke that I didn’t get.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

The songs that you know are great. The songs that you don’t know…. Yikes. Overall a great time capsule to a different time.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

Very nice. Felt like I was a part of a different time. Not a huge jazz fan but this was good

OK Computer

Radiohead

1/5

Nope.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

3/5

Obviously Fire and Rain is a classic. I’ve got to say, James Taylor singing Steamroller at 109lbs, with the energy of an elementary school music teacher is a tough sell for me.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

As expected.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

1/5

Awful.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

1/5

Not for me.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

It’s a classic Willie album, what more can I say?
