1001 Albums Summary

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

British Steel by Judas Priest

So by Peter Gabriel

A slog to get through. I'm not a fan.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus by Spirit

Odelay by Beck

Disraeli Gears by Cream

Fine, but I'm not crazy about it. Feels like background music at a white boomer dive bar

Kid A by Radiohead

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

Odessa by Bee Gees

All Mod Cons by The Jam

Early pop punk. Lots to love and sounds like inspo for Midwest emo, Green Day, etc

Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen

Fun punk. Jackass theme. A good time.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

Reminds me of my first internet gf who was into 80s pop. Aside from the nostalgia, it's a little meh. Very "just discovered MIDI" vibes.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

Needs more Gilberto.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

A solid country album. A pleasant listen.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys

A jam from start to finish. I loved it and want to listen again!

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police

A couple bangers. A lot of appropriation.

Orbital 2 by Orbital

Beeps and boops. Input Out walked so One Million Dollars could fly.

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

Unhappy Birthday is really funny if you imagine it being written by an 11 y/o

Synchronicity by The Police

Maybe worse than the first? But more experimental in some ways that I respect even if they missed the mark for me.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

As a musician, I can understand the drive to create something like this to put out into the world. As a writer, I cannot fathom the audacity to say everyone should hear this before they die. I 100% could have died without listening to this album.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young

Fine. White man guitar. Insert shrug emoji.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax

Pleasant with nice chill beats and good samples.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Good shit.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello

I cannot understand 90% of the lyrics and it sounds like emo dad rock.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

A full album of "come on, Eileen"

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers

What I'm sure people unfamiliar with the US South imagine. Some good stuff message-wise but the music didn't blow me away

Blue Lines by Massive Attack

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
