Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu-Tang Clan
Killer beats
Love the concept throughout of Wu sampling, with wu-tang swords slicing through
torture skit a great aggressive intro to each member. I'll sew up your asshole and then just feed you, and feed you, and feed you
Method Man focus song kills it, great rythym w the voice. got myself a shorty and i, got myself a 40

Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Will this be the only one of the 1001 albums not on spotify?
Iconic voice
I don't zone in to the singer/songwriters enough, they can hit but take focus
out of the blue and into the black
Slow; nice occasionally, would be tough for modern audience

Highway 61 Revisited
Bob Dylan
He rocks, harder than I remember. Singer songwriter vibe great for the rainy day, I really need to slow down and listen to lyrics to appreciate. Every verse has some lyrical gems. Rolling Stone is an all-time hit for a reason. Such distinctive voice.

Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
beautiful. voice annoyed me at first, like "there's got to be a morning after" high pitch South Park, but grew on me. Lyrics poetic, lovely storytelling.
Theme of internal conflict between freedom (man in paris) and looking for love/connection. The confidence in her sexiness exudes.
Twisted final track "my analyst told me"- therapist must listen
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette
Another iconic voice, but this one feels jagged to me. Inspired by Joni Mitchell?, and sometimes it’s catchy, but overall I find it shrill. Hand in my pocket is still a hit, makes you wonder what your other hand would be doing? And that’s different in any given moment; the same hand will throw a middle finger and a peace sign and a high five and just be smoking that cigarette.

Sheer Heart Attack
Queen
Rah, shows the potential. Just kids playing around, finding their sound and someways more goofy but also more straightforward than later queen albums. Killer queen still smashes, Freddy’s vocals are starting to peek out, but he hasn’t really found his full voice, and the mix keeps things more balanced/guitar rock focused than later queen, which is more Freddy focused, and then listen to the next album which has somebody to love which still gives me tingles, and then General is getting a bit more opera-ish already. You see the potential here.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
Nice tunes, but don’t get the hype as one of the greatest. From the movie knowing his process of getting lyrics from his partner and then putting music to it, cool to think of these as coming out of that process. I like song without a name

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'
50 Cent
Gangster, rap, hot beats, Dray works magic and 50 has dynamic voice and flow. One of my favorite of this era of rap, we’re track still had a van sounds but not many changes in a given song. In da club still a banger. Hard to objectively judge any of my high school era albums that I had on rotation, but I’m still digging this..

Ananda Shankar
Disappointing entry for this type of music, focused on covers of western songs that didn’t really do it for me. But the original ocean locked me in, and over all love the sound. This illustrates the unspoken requirement of this list to be western music; a version of this instrument/style that wasn’t western covers would’ve been better
