My 1001 Albums Journey

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

Fine. Not something I'd seek out. Not something I'd skip past. Disclaimer: I was doing chores whilst listening.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Entirely forgettable

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Warm and cozy. I should revisit it on a snuggly weekend.

Metallica

4/5

Enter Sandman is a brilliant album opener. I was starting to get a bit worn out by Holier Than Thou. The Unforgiven drew me back in. The rest of the album was good. Not much to say about it.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Pretty good. Nothing jaw dropping, but I will listen again at some point.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Makes me feel insignificant in a good way. No one listens to lyrics anyway, so being in a language I don't understand lets me focus more on the melody.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Fine. I won't seek out more, but I'm happy to listen to it if the algorithm gods decide I should.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

1/5

No interest in this. I am definitely not in the target demographic

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Quite good. I could live without it, but I wouldn't mind another listen.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Like a lot of art albums, it benefits from a quiet, focussed listening. Even though I didn't do that, this is a brilliant. Not at all what I was expecting either.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

4/5

Some absolute bangers. Some forgettable songs. I think their singles are a much better way to listen to The Police than any album.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

3/5

I know very little about this style of music. This album sounded fine. No strong feelings.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Timeless sound. I don't know enough about the politics to comment (different country and demographic). Cohesive album.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

Listening to the list chronologically, I'm sure this album had some impact. I am not listening chronologically, so I do not recognise that impact. It's very much middling.

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Nothing exceptional. Nothing terrible. Very middling.

Boston

3/5

I can't remember a single track. If it came up on shuffle, I think it would take a minute to realise that I've heard it before.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Not brilliant. Not terrible. Pretty average.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Som classic hits. Some tunes I've never heard before. Good all round.
