1001 Albums Summary

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

I listened to the album twice.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

Big fan already.

Document by R.E.M.

Extra star for the sax solo. Not something I’d listen to on repeat, or often. Throw a couple songs in a mixed playlist; I’m good, no skipping. 🤣

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

What a musical journey. I heard 1 song from this album before, and missed out on so much until now!!

Made In Japan by Deep Purple

Just not for my listening ears.

1984 by Van Halen

Not a fan, but good album.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton

Grace by Jeff Buckley

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Bummed by Happy Mondays

A band I pretty much forgot about. Was happy to rediscover the album.

1977 by Ash

I am missing the appeal …

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things

Felt very familiar, reminiscent of the Beatles. I have to admit I was distracted by the weird stereo sound with earbuds in. Much better via a speaker. I will definitely listen again.

Woodface by Crowded House

*yawn* I fail to see what is original, or outstanding. Forgettable.

Close To You by Carpenters

Beautiful vocals. Not something I’d choose to listen to, thinking “I’m familiar with The Carpenters, and her tragic death”. I never really listened. What surprised me … the studio musicians. The sax, and the jazzy flute. Not a fan of the cover of Help. This album absolutely is one that brings back the nostalgia and feel for an era.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis

Purple Rain by Prince

Pelican West by Haircut 100

Familiar sound for 80s music lovers. I actually added a couple songs to my library.

Noise. It shouldn’t be this hard to get through an album. Not my thing.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

The familiar music of my early childhood. Listening to the oldies station in my parents’ station wagon. I am more likely to put a few tracks in an oldies playlist, than listen to the entire album. However, would my oldies playlist be complete without a few of the songs on this album? Nope. Where would the Beatles start, if not for Buddy Holly? So it’s a 5 for me.
