Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

So, so lovely.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

I Got the Beat and especially Our Lips Are Sealed are so, so good. The rest of the album is good enough, but just didn’t grab me like those two tracks.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Where Is My Mind seems like it comes from an entirely different album. Not necessarily a different band, but a band that has gone through big changes and sounds nothing like their old selves. I think it might be because I came late to the party, and spent so much time listening to Pixies descendants (Nirvana), but the rest of the album didn’t hugely grab me. Gigantic was pretty cool.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

I only know The Beach Boys from their very best, which is transcendently good. Combined with my previous 1001 albums pick being The Who’s “Who’s Next”, also released in 1971, the album suffered greatly in comparison and my main impression was “corny”. Still had some nice harmonies, though.

Cut

The Slits

4/5

The first band in the project that I had absolutely never heard of, and, damn, these ladies rock!

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Solid. Favorite song: In the Mood For Love with Bonnie Raitt

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

2/5

Lust For Life
