1001 Albums Summary

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

Great album. Always nice to listen to the songs that weren’t such big hits, there were some fantastic blues rock sounds.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones

Good but not my favourite stones album.

The Band by The Band

It started off pretty laid back, not something I’d choose to listen to, but would definitely leave playing. Song three though appears to be a lament for the good ‘ol’ days of the confederacy, and I couldn’t really get past that.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

The College Dropout by Kanye West

Not my thing, but it was enjoyable background music.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

Amazing album.

Document by R.E.M.

Fantastic album.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down

Legendary album. Absolutely fantastic.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

Good album. Definitely more background listening than the last few days, I definitely zoned out a bit.

Metallica by Metallica

Amazing. I’ve loved this album for a long time, but haven’t listened back to back in a while.

Cross by Justice

I always forget how good the rest of this album is, based on how good and popular DANCE is. The final two tracks are an amazing end.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Fairly middle of the road, easy background listening.

Kick Out The Jams (Live) by MC5

The Yes Album by Yes

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

Fantastic album. Miles better than their new stuff!

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela

Nice and laid back.

Blue by Joni Mitchell

The White Album by Beatles

Disraeli Gears by Cream

Fantastic first half, slightly weaker second side

25 by Adele

Occasional good songs, fantastic voice, but overall very same-y and drab. I’d switched off before the half way mark.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

Transformer by Lou Reed

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba

Some interesting parts. Some a bit samey. Interesting for a change, but I zoned out before we even got to house of the rising sun, which was a shame as I was interested to hear that!
