1001 Albums Summary

The album that introduced me to the greatest band of all time. Forced to listen to it in 1979 by my older brother - pretended to like it and then did !! Never listen like back.

Absolute chaos !! Been a long time since I have listened to Zappa, maybe 30 years - I used to like his fun stuff but this was real chaotic. Superbly talented guitarist and musician but this was just too much now I’m in my 50s. Got a headache.

Never listened to an Elvis album - really enjoyed this !! Reminded me of Buddy Holly at times, who I have always enjoyed listening too. Felt very nostalgic and thinking of my parents in their teens when this ‘new’ sound hit the UK shores. Some years later, as Liverpudlians, they then frequented The Cavern watching an up and coming 4 piece band who clearly had some Elvis influence in their sound. Will listen to more.

Great album - one that has past me by since it first came out. Good to revisit it.
