1001 Albums Summary

American Idiot by Green Day

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter

Mostly boring

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

This is horrible. I get the sentiment and what it must have meant for its time but it's just noise on repeat. Nobody can like trains this much

Clandestino by Manu Chao

Fun music. Good in the background. Bongo bong is tons of fun. There's enough here that I would search out this album while making tacos or chili in the future

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

Suprising to me how much I enjoyed it.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Wow great album. My favorite so far. Good easy listening blues

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Amazing, iconic, fun

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino

Pretty fun. Definitely iconic

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

I tried to like it but the lyrics and vocals were too much to overcome. The music was at best droning

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

Great album. A classic. No bad songs

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder

Some ral great music and some duds. Wanted to love it ended up liking it.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba

Nope

Fun album. Enjoyed how raw it seemed

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan

There's definitely some music here I like. The skits and talking though my god

I really enjoyed this. It grew on me

Odelay by Beck

Tical by Method Man

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

Odd but some good stuff

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Figured I would hate it but it thoroughly surprised me.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle by Throbbing Gristle

Random noise bull. Definitely doesn't NEED to be heard by anyone. This is like modern art in music form. The illusion of something clever and artful while offering no actual substance.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

This right after Throbbing Gristle feels like penance for getting Wish You Were Here the day prior. This was better than Throbbing Gristle, but not enough to get a 2 star.
