1001 Albums Summary

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

One of my alltime favourites... Kurt Cobain announces "The man who sold the world" with "I'll probably screw this up" and then delivers this amazing performance. Epic unplugged session.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I could get lost in this voice...

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis

A Night At The Opera by Queen

Very enjoyable

Morrison Hotel by The Doors

The United States Of America by The United States Of America

99% annoying noise, 1% music.

Nixon by Lambchop

Easy to listen to, but hard to concentrate on... didn't really leave an impression

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

American Idiot by Green Day

Goo by Sonic Youth

Badly tuned strings and uninspired vocals. Got a headache halfway through.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush

An exceptional artist who knows how to create an atmosphere. Sometimes she gets lost in the atmosphere and neglects the song, but overall very enjoyable listening.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy

Always be yourself! Unless you can be Sinatra, then always be Sinatra. Or, perhaps, Freddy Mercury.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron

More Songs About Buildings And Food by Talking Heads

Pornography by The Cure

A very dark Cure album

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Queen II by Queen

Sunshine Superman by Donovan

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto

Chill background music, a voice like caramel

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

I Should Coco by Supergrass

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa

funky, but very dated

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners

Annoying singer.

Guero by Beck

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.

Stardust by Willie Nelson

Forever Changes by Love

Had expected not to like it, but it was rather enjoyable for psychedelic (not my favourite genre).

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Station To Station by David Bowie

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra

I love the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, but this album was too avantgarde for me. Great cello, though!

Blue Lines by Massive Attack

Mask by Bauhaus

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope

Urban Hymns by The Verve

Generic and boring britpop

British Steel by Judas Priest

Real Life by Magazine

That was a pleasant surprise, full of unexpected detail. I'd never heard of Magazine, will probably listen to this album again.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Ace of Spades by Motörhead

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

Better Living Through Chemistry by Fatboy Slim

Is This It by The Strokes

Abbey Road by Beatles

Well, it's Abbey Road. I really enjoyed listening (except for Maxwell's Silver Hammer). Is this really the best album ever? Maybe not, but surely it's the album most people can agree on to like.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin

Purple Rain by Prince

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Bends by Radiohead

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers

A few good songs, lots of disappointing rap. Under the Bridge saved it from 2 stars.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder

The Yes Album by Yes

Live At The Witch Trials by The Fall

I started listening to The Fall in the mid 80s. This album is the start of their journey, their sound is recognizable, but very raw. I like their later albums better, but still... it's The Fall!

Harvest by Neil Young

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

Well, this album certainly tried very hard to get my attention... I suppose there is a time and place for this kind of music - but in my opinion it is not on this list.

Viva Hate by Morrissey

1 star extra for "Every day is like Sunday".

Slayed? by Slade

Very mediocre.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio

Basket of Light by Pentangle

Group Sex by Circle Jerks

Kenza by Khaled

What's That Noise? by Coldcut

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill

ya, ya... ya.

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

One of the dominating albums of the 90s... I hadn't been listening to this for years, still know every song by heart.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx

Repetitive and uninspired.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

A few songs from the album are alright - the whole album was too much

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu

Honky Tonk Masquerade by Joe Ely

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

OK Computer by Radiohead

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
