Surprisingly 80's sounding album. Lots of horns. Could hear the post punk coming in on some songs like "The Mercy Beat."

A few songs I liked, but generally a little too slow and samey.

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Loved this album! Was quite a bit of a bummer. Talked to social and political themes still applicable to today.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Okay I guess - not a huge Neil Young fan. Falsetto is a bit much, songs are samey throughout the album

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

Every song sounds the same - don't mind having one or two of these kind of songs, but a whole album gave me a headache lol

Muddy Waters

Great album! Always think of "Mannish" when I head Muddy Waters, so it was interesting to hear more music that he made.

3/5

I can appreciate it for a single listen, but I'm not sure I'd ever want to listen to most of it again. I wouldn't say I really enjoyed any of the album, but I can understand its significance.

This is exactly my genre of interest, but I did not like it at all. A little too slow and sad. Could try to listen to it again when I'm in another mood.

Wow. Never heard of Nina Simone before. What a truly special and unique voice. Learning about the existence of artists like this is what makes 1001 albums great.

5/5

Loved this one. I could hear its influences in quite a few of my favorite bands today!

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

I liked Layla, but mostly due to it's connection to Goodfellas. Wasn't sure what the rest of the album was supposed to be - kind of bluesy rock, but nothing I really enjoyed.

Elvis Presley

3/5

I never want to hear tutti frutti again in my life.

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

4/5

I never want to hear tutti frutti again in my life.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

First time listening to De La Soul - couldn't imagine how amazing it must have been hearing something so creative come out in 1989.
