My 1001 Albums Journey

Al Green

4/5

Great! Powerful and punchy soul with enough variety to keep things interesting throughout the album.

Billie Holiday

4/5

An album dedicated to romance, at times sweet and other times agonizing. Billie Holiday's powerful yet fragile voice combined with an incredible instrumental performance make for beautiful blues.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

1/5

I actually like Bob Dylan, but making me listen to a live, two-sided album of his? This better be a fantastic performance. NO! The first side has some truly awful singing. The second side has some decent tracks, but nothing to call home about. I have no idea why this is a recommended album.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

It's a good album. Does what it set out to do - make some quality soft rock

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Classic and influential. unfortunately repetitive listening now

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

too repetitive for my taste

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

An old jam band. I wasn't mad, it was well performed blues. Nothing remarkably inspirational, but also nothing to complain about

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

3/5

Moog music, captivating and haunting. Certainly requires a specific mood and setting to be enjoyable, but the quality is superbly analog and a foundational album of the start of an album

The Undertones

3/5

Irish punk music that delivers quick and punchy tunes
