1001 Albums Summary

November 22, 2023 The Strokes listen to Can and move to Scotland

Great harmonies, somewhat a product of it's time, lot of twee lyrics. Filled with classics but it's not something I'll ever look to put on.

A few standout tracks but somewhat uneven as they explore new sounds. Odd how Stone Temple Pilots chose Orange Crush as the track to call out selling out on Big Bang Bang given this album includes Stand which eventually gave us Shiny Happy People. Not their best, the mandolin doesn't do it for me.

November 24, 2023 Jack's first solo album. Quite a few great tracks, would put this on again from start to finish. Doesn't stray too far from the White Stripes, bit more polished but still loud guitar rock.

November 25, 2023 Top marks for the talent. They do like to take their songs for a walk. I'm going curling today.

November 26, 2023 All-time classic. The videos. The keychain. Swamp rock at it's finest.

November 27, 2023 Legend. Incredible voice. Great listen start to finish.

November 28, 2023 Masterpiece. Innovative, executed perfectly. Every track holds. "Because my ak rig goes boom boom My ak rig goes boom"

November 29, 2023 One of the greats. Riffs for days, Meg on mic, this one goes.

November 30, 2023 While touring England with Talking Heads and visiting Stonehenge, the Ramones stayed in the bus and complained that they'd rather be at McDonald's than looking at a bunch of rocks. 5 stars.

December 1, 2023 Classic. Misfire and She Makes Me deserve more airplay. Leroy Brown, harmonizing a train whistle is a bridge too far.

December 2, 2023 Evergreen

December 3, 2023 A few interesting cuts but unlikely to put this on again from start to finish. That's my message to you, Rudy.

December 4, 2023 Perfect for when you want to listen to Nick Drake

December 5, 2023 Unreal, the voice and the music are perfect.

December 6, 2023 Spacemen 3

December 7, 2023 Bland dad rock

December 8, 2023 Great, smooth

December 9, 2023 First time listening to Magazine. Enjoyed this one.

December 10, 2023 Great album, especially in it's time amongst the plethora of grunge/alt-rock clone of clones. Lot of all-timers on this one.

December 11, 2023 One is the top 10 greatest hip hop albums.

December 12, 2023 Incredible voice and talent. Impressive number of classics on this, especially for a debut album from this era.

December 13, 2023 Good album.

December 14, 2023 Interesting album, definitely it's own thing with the foundation of Irish tunes getting a punk and synth treatment.

December 15, 2023 High school album

December 16, 2023

December 17, 2023 Better than expected

December 19, 2023 I got Covid and stopped.
