1001 Albums Summary

Station To Station by David Bowie

The White Room by The KLF

Some of it feels a bit dated - particularly a few tinny synthesiser beats - but overall this is still a fun album. Both derivative and influential, it is full of catchy tunes and driving rhythms. The JAMM joke wears a bit thin but you could still safely put this on at a party and expect most to dance.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Queen II by Queen

Born To Be With You by Dion

A new one for me - had only been aware of his 60’s solo stuff. His voice was still strong, flexible and distinctive in ‘75 but there aren’t enough quality songs, especially when spread over 20 tracks and an hour plus. Not sure the Spector sound works for Dion either. But “Only You Know”, “New York City Song”, and “Good Lovin’ Man” are keepers.
