1001 Albums Summary

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

Favorite is track 1, "Back at the Chicken Shack".

Bad by Michael Jackson

"Bad" and "Smooth Criminal" are by far the best songs on this album. By far.

Disraeli Gears by Cream

"Bad" and "Smooth Criminal" are by far the best songs on this album. By far.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

Really good album. Even the weakest songs on it are still great.

OK Computer by Radiohead

Hauntingly beautiful. No one particular song stands out to me, but the album is full of intricate songs that demand attention and catchy, repeated anthems.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Enjoyable enough listen. They do slower songs and love songs in a great way.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull

I thought I would like this album a lot more than I did. It wasn't bad per se, but had a really hard time maintaining interest

No Other by Gene Clark

Meh. Didn't really do anything for me, and I generally like this era/genre.

Ingenue by k.d. lang

Not a fan

Kenya by Machito

Not really my style, but I can appreciate the skill and technique apparent in this Afro-Cuban big band fusion thing.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles

Definitely the Beatles best offering before the drugs, but their music got so much better later.

xx by The xx

Great for some chill background music. I enjoyed it for that, but it was really one note.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

I don't know if it's how this album is mixed or what, but it's really grating on the ears. I couldn't even finish it.

This Nation’s Saving Grace by The Fall

I feel like it would be a lot more into this if I could actually hear what the singer was saying. For some reason it's mixed really low against the instrumentation.

Shadowland by k.d. lang

Well I can appreciate that it's probably a great example of what it is, early country western stuff isn't really my thing.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

Really great album. Excellent listen front to back.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Pretty good album. The Passenger is definitely my favorite track.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

One of the greatest albums of all time. Every song on it is excellent. There is not a single weak link.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Great album, but it does require a certain mood.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories by Hüsker Dü

Songs range from bad to meh.

The World is a Ghetto by War

Really good album. I think the track City Country city is my favorite.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

Not their greatest album, but Led Zeppelin does not miss.
