Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 05 2024
1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 08 2024

Not too bad, enjoyed songs like Style and This Love. It’s a shame that in today’s Pop world, that you waste the last minute of every 3.5 minute song with constantly repeated lines. But, she’s got a great voice…

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 12 2024

I would describe myself as a metal/prog-rock lover. While there has been some pretty good albums on this list up til now, this album is truly worth listening to! (I listened to it twice on a row) This is also the first album on the 1001 list that I downloaded for permanent “rotation” for my ears enjoyment…

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jan 15 2024

Always a great album, with a variety of music styles/mixes. Rick Rubin is a master. Without this album, who knows if rap would have been accepted mainstream. And special cameo from the muthaf***ing Kerry King of Slayer!

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 16 2024

Very original band! Hard to quite describe the sound, but brings back some memories of more obscure 80’s bands. Wasn’t sure I’d like it during the first song, but as the album progressed, it grew on me more and more. Will DEFINITELY be listening to it again!

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 17 2024

Pretty relaxing and mellow album, with a bit of dub added. Enjoyed the several different singers.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jan 18 2024

Ute obviously has singing and performing talent. And while a lot of the lyrics and subject matter were entertaining, cabaret/lounge performances are just not my thing. Props to her, but…

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 19 2024

The quintessential bossa-nova album. From relaxing at home to hosting a cocktail party, this album is great.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jan 22 2024

Great album, you can hear how the BB’s matured a bit and went outside the box to allow their sound to evolve. Love the album cover!

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jan 23 2024

Very soulful voice; I knew a lot of her songs, but had no idea it was Dusty.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jan 25 2024

I’ve been pretty tolerant up until this point, but here’s one album I gave up on after 3 songs. The “singer” just drolls on without any actually singing, and uses constant reverb. I was hoping the first song was a “one off”… but no. And aside from the occasional 60’s album thrown into the mix, I’m seeing a trend of weird, 90’s music. Hoping for some different genres.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 29 2024

I’m quite a bit familiar with Thin Lizzy’s catalogue, but have never listened to any of their live stuff. I can see why ‘Live and Dangerous’ is recommended. Quite simply: TL was a formidable live act, as heard on this album. Tight, well-rehearsed, and a sonic force to be reckoned with!

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Feb 02 2024

Wow! Never had listened to Winehouse before, and didn’t quite know what to expect. What a voice, and what a talent. How do you too a debut album like this? Sadly, her voice is no longer with us…

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Feb 05 2024

Great album, and the recording of actual instruments? Practically unheard of. Classic album.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 06 2024

Great voice, great chill vibe to this album. I particularly enjoyed Pyramid, Crack Rock, Lost, Bad Religion and Pilot Jones
