1001 Albums Summary

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Better than I expected. Always was turned off by the scary looking stuff but it wasn't terrible.

Abbey Road by Beatles

Hot Fuss by The Killers

Have heard most of this plenty of times. Not all the way through though.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Didn't realize lines were so complex. Interesting. Have heard these songs sung by Bruce. Probably all started as riffs and then turned into songs.

The Cars by The Cars

Surprised at how good this actually is. Would’ve never listened to it. They’re definitely influenced by Queen. It’s good stuff. It’s not a 5 because, well, nothing is right?

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

Great arrangements. Have heard Frank’s versions of these songs. What a voice. Hate auto tune, glad it wasn’t around back then.

War by U2

Have listened to this plenty of times. Actually owned this one on CD. As soon as I saw the cover thought of “Refugee”. Great album. Think “October” was the clunker in the first 3 CD run by U2.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues

That was rough. Really not my cup of tea. I made it only to track 3. Commendably.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves

Oh Golden Hour. One of my favorites. Slow Burn and title track are great.

Parachutes by Coldplay

Again, owned it on CD. A couple of favorites here. Let’s give it a spin. Great album. Sounds even better on good headphones. Want it on vinyl now.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Great album:. Lost my notes.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Not my cup of tea. Has a few redeeming qualities but not for me. Not a 1 but a 2.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey

A lot of this I’ve heard before, my sister used to love this stuff and played it in her room next to mine. Wondering if Babyface produced this, might be him doing harmonies. Obviously a great singer but not for me, the album I mean.

The Joshua Tree by U2

Had to stop and actually LISTEN to the first three. I wonder if they knew the powerhouses that they had at hand. Had forgotten BTBS was track 4. I feel deceived. The snare part is definitely turned down when the band comes in. What a great album.

McCartney by Paul McCartney

Uuu every night is on this. Macca wanking it a lot. Should’ve hired a drummer.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon

Was ok.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones

One of my favorites. Title track is so good. Gimme Shelter is so good. Has piano on it. Love Charlie’s percussion on Honky Tonk, wonder what it is. Wyman’s bass on LIV was interesting. Silver and Gold is on this. Just might be my favorite Stones album. Really grooves. How did they capture this?

Yeezus by Kanye West

Been a while. Have a lot of these on my gym playlist.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers

Have heard one of these on the Raising Sand album. Was ok.

The Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks

Have heard one of these on the Raising Sand album. Was ok.

Teen Dream by Beach House

Not enjoying this at all. Maybe if I heard more about the context. Sounded better later.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke

A LOT better than I thought.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

What can you say? The epitome of jazz.

Different Class by Pulp

Didn’t love it.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

Not fun at all.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Not fun at all.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

Popppier than I thought.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
