1001 Albums Summary

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

I haven't really listened to Sam Cooke before, so don't know how this compares to the studio versions. As a live recording, this is pretty good. The way you can hear the crowd throughout, and you can tell they were just having a ball. You can imagine what it would have been like to be there. Sam has a strong, raspy kind of voice, well suited to this kind of music. The songs did get a bit "samey" for me, but all clipped along at a nice pace and kept the part-vibe going.

Graceland by Paul Simon

I remember my parents had this album, but I haven't really listened to it before. The way the western sensibilities merged with the African stylings really worked. I really like some of the guitar work - it was quite unique, or at least as far as I've heard. Paul Simon is really quite a gifted lyricist - there were some quite nice lines in there. The title track was my favourite. I've heard "you can call me al" to many times to enjoy that one.

Chicago Transit Authority by Chicago

not what i expected. i think I had them mixed up in my head with the band "Boston". a lot of nice work on the horns, and some pretty big guitar freakouts. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. my favourite track was the final track, "Liberation" which was wa big guitar freakout before coming together at the end.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

I had a copy of this album already, but haven't listened in a while. It's a pretty heavy album - brutal really with all the sounds they through at you and pretty relentless. There is quite a contrast between Chuck D's political commentary and Flavor Flav style

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

I've heard this one so many times before, I don't know if I even need to listen to it for this project, or even need to write any listening notes

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

Not really for me. I can appreciate the harmonizing and complexity though.

Blur by Blur

I've listened to and enjoyed their "Brit-pop" albums, but hadn't heard this one before. I think I was put off by "Song No. 2" which was really over played. There were some nice songs on this one, and I really liked some of the guitar work

Teen Dream by Beach House

I really liked this album. I have a copy and have listened to it a few times before. It reminds me in feel of the musician "Panda Bear" but with quite different instrumentation. I always thought the singer was male, but was surprised on checking wikipedia that they are a duo with a woman singer.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin

this was OK as background music, but not really my thing. i did find my head nodding a long now and then

Grace by Jeff Buckley

wow - I've heard this before but never really appreciated. the way his vocals soar is just amazing. great album

I liked some of the riffing but overall not really for me

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

I had heard this one before and was happy to see it as the selection for the day. I really like this one. I was surprised to see some of the other reviews - a lot of people really hate this one. I guess his voice is kind of love it or hate it.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

American Beauty by Grateful Dead

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

i don't really get why this is always cited as such an important album.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

great album. Breakdown, Anything That's Rock and Roll and American Girl are standouts

Woodface by Crowded House

nice to see an album from an NZ band, but I've heard most of the tracks too many times on radio and such to enjoy this. I was surprised by how dark some of the lyrics were

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry

The Grand Tour by George Jones

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay
