1001 Albums Summary

Deeply love this album. Faces are in the pocket for the whole thing, on par with Creedence Clearwater Revival at their best. Debris is a 10/10 Man Feelings song. Ronnie Lane writing about small realisations and intimate shared knowing between a son and a father. Seeing his dad as a whole complete human, feeling as if one day that will be him, admitting he should have listened to his father's advice, whilst still sadly and dismissively laughing at his senile grumblings. It's possible I love it so much because my Dad's love language does seem to be gifting people strange things he finds amongst the debris at charity shops. The rest of the album is fierce charasmatic shoe shuffling belters. It's funny. It's free. It's all playing for the song. Love The Small Faces, love what Stevie Marriott went off and did with Humble Pie, but this might be the best album from that whole crew, even though Rod went on to pump out some farts later on in his career.

They sound sad, they should try not being sad.

Unfortunately, it's a bonger. Spaceship is an all time driving at night song. Through the Wire is a 10/10 story song. Jesus Walks really made Jake Gylleyllelyllelnhall's performance in the feature film Jarhead pop.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRDD I'll take trowels of your filthy hypnotic proto punk verging on the psychedelic but only if you go on to make several other seminal solo albums with David Bowie.

i gazed into the windowsphere til the trickle of funk disposed itself from my ear hole. the toe tapper's cave. i stared at the seaslime drifting in the everlapping shoreline and descended. i was smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in smothered in repetiton. i allowed the spray into my ears so it may trickle once more.

Isaac Hayes is one of those artists of such soul satisfying genius it almost makes me believe in Scientology.

soft spot for Joan Armatrading cos mum likes her. Comforting, familiar and playful, never rests on being predictable.

Keef really slayed the boots house down on this one Mick is so babygirl.

M U S I C

I did not listen to this album. I felt like listening to Black Sabbath's 1980 album Heaven and Hell so I listened to that instead. Fugees are good but the below score is for Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell.

In my head this is what I sound like when I press the DJ button on my yahama keyboard and shout "fuck him and John Wayne"

when i first listened to this album when i was 15 i thought it was a best of. hendrix is transcendental, hailed as a god and still underrated. everything he plays is unexpected but still exactly what you want to hear. the textures are perfect, the character, energy, hot sweet jams and catchy melodies, the splashy searching drums, the perfect comination of heavy and free. it's in a world of its own. hendrix's music is the first and last music that human beings should listen to.

How dare they invent bandcamp

On paper should be right up my alley. In practice my alley is already filled good and proper with what the MC5 and Stooges were doing at the time in this particular zone and listening to this just made me wish I was listening to that.

Ooh heaven is a place in Belinda Carlisle's sweet sweet surf jangle melodies

1 very sexy man teetering precariously on the precipice of a gimmick.

Sorry to hear about your bod, that sucks man.

Rip Bert, released from his lumbago at last.

Yeah, I'm thinking this might just be totally tubular dude.

Oh god, am I whitey???

They didn't play the Weezer cover :(

if you ever meet someone who says they don't have a part of them that wishes they were johnny cash playing live at folsom prison they are a replicant and you can just go ahead and blow their brains out right there on the spot

each nick drake album means something to me. used to be the only cd i had in my car so if i ever ran out of phone battery this is what i'd listen to. reminds me of driving very tired across somerset after dropping an ex-lover off at glastonbury festival with the sun going down in front of me.

can't believe i've never listened to this before. compare yourself to david koresh and spongebob squarepants and sing about getting rid of posers by selling them on ebay and baby you got a stew going

I've only gotten into Nina Simone relatively recently, listened to this for the first time about 2 years ago and recently gone through all of her stuff up to the early 70s. this album has become one of my favourite ever things to listen to. its so completely beautiful and powerful and soul affirming and heart breaking and everything together. it feels like it knows me more than i know myself. What More Can I Say

speaking as an original gangster, it was a pleasure to spend 52 minutes in the company of DJ Saul T Nuts and crew with the Chronical bangers that brought the G-funk to the world
