1001 Albums Summary

Mellow. Not very memorable.

25% 80s jams (Shout, Everyvody Wants to Rule the World), 75% 80s sax and hollow drums.

Mostly sleepy country. A couple hits like Son of a Preacher Man and Windmill of My Mind.

A lot of 90s rock tropes deployed in surprisingly novel and enjoyable ways. Songs have some motor.

Exactly what the label says. Twangy cowboy songs.

In one ear out the other

Punk-ish rhythm, some interesting songs

Not really into Britpop

Good live album, just not quite as much pop as San Quentin. Johnny Cash has such good stage presence.

A bunch of covers I enjoyed less than the originals

I made it through one and a half songs. Inane speak-singy lyrics, blah music.

Kanye refining his “everyone but me sucks” shtick over some good beats

Surprisingly timeless

Great instrumental originals and covers

Mild 60s rock with poor man’s Neil Young gestures

Eh, very Police-y

Much worse than most Sam Cooke recordings, which is not how I usually feel about live records

Meh, a more boring Sam Cooke

Mild 60s rock with poor man’s Kate Bush features

Crunchy 80s stuff

Utter banger. Incredible mix of atonality and drone with spoken word and more classic rock.

Surprisingly good when listened to straight

More filler than I remembered but hey, it’s the Beatles

Interesting 80s metal sound, lyrics kind of ruin it

Interesting and eclectic

Ella good, Gershwin lyrics repetitive and not clever
