1001 Albums Summary

Fun little soft rock album. The 2 blues songs are weirdly not very bluesy but as a whole, it was inoffensive and heartfelt

Factory issue, official seal, AC/DC hard rock. Obviously less technically impressive than your Motorheads or Van Halens, but it's solid fun hard rock.

Fun, upbeat jazz of the era

Classic hits, fun sampling, a ton of good verses

Beatles are pretty good

Sam's energy and chemistry with both the band and crowd is amazing. He's just electric. The songs are proven standards, and Bring It on Home is a solid tent pole, but the live flow of the setlist is well done. The back 5 basically are one big medley

The album that got me into hip hop. Even if you took away the lyrics, the beats are amazing, it's an honest to God jazz rap album.

Unpretenious, likeable 70s rock. The guitar lines are the highlight, but you really do get a sense of it being a full band effort and not just Tom and some hangers on.

Slighty more low key Public Enemy circa 1991, with both the old school production and the Nation of Islam loyalties

Lotta music on this one. Most of it is good, but a lot

Beautiful pop album, the 2 halls could be great EPs alone but together it's a great 1 2 punch of hits and storytelling

Surprisingly not the all in disco album. The 3 singles are very fun and funky but the rest of the album is more "conventional" R&B.

Loaded cast. Tight setlist. The album that helped usher in jazz fusion. Hell yes

U2 at their first peak, in this case post-punk, new wave.

Very strong beats, combined with good flows and rhymes. Classic for a reason. Also, the Ahmad Jamal sample
