1001 Albums Summary

Nice n chill overall. Thought the MC intro was interesting, really stood as a timestamp to the history of live album recording. Even when she didn't know the lyrics, she just kept on going; words, scatting or otherwise.

The safe and familiar piano and guitar found on "Can't Buy A Thrill" interwoven with jazz brass yields an absolute hoot of an album. Strongest songs: Rikki don't lose that number, Night by Night, Barrytown, Parker Band Weakest songs: Monkey in your soul

Love the riotous punk energy with a hint of the strokes style indie rock coming through here and there. Strongest songs: Hate to say I told you so, Untutored youth, AKA I.D.I.O.T Weakest songs: Main Offender, Hives are law, you are crime

David Byrne's whimsical, nearly wailing vocals with Tina Weymouth's intricate, yet catchy basslines help build a joyous listening experience

Right craic altogether! Not sure where their place in the golden age of electronic music scene was between Groove Armada and Daft Punk, but this is deffo an album worth listening to between the diversity of samples and how many told a story, coherent or otherwise. Strongest song: Frontier Psychiatry, Live at Dominoes Weakest song: Flight Tonight

A soulful rollercoaster of emotions, from the tragic "Billy Jack" to the triumphantly hopeful "Love To The People" Strongest song: So In Love Weakest song: none

First foray into samba/jazz, so it's virgin territory. The *ideal* album for carrying out kitchen/cooking/cleaning tasks - it's exciting and engaging enough to have you doing stuff without detracting from the quality of your physical work that needs doing.
