My 1001 Albums Journey

Bob Dylan

4/5

Very folksy, good builds throughout each song.

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Such a powerful voice! I hadn't heard past "Respect" and woah she is unreal. "Soul Serenade" stuck out for sure. The whole album is strong and her voice and the backing instrumentals are insane, I liked some of the slower, ballad type songs such as "A Change Is Gonna Come" too!

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Didn't resonate with me as much as their other stuff, but still quite good!

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Songs were good, each one was shorter than I thought it would be, a quick under 40 min album!

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Very mellow, I like how long each song is and that it bleeds into the next!

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

4/5

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

Fred Neil

3/5

I like it, definitely Elvis and 1950s inspirations which was unexpected but good. Slower in the middle of the album, also noticed some country and folk elements. Overall, I enjoyed it!

Gris Gris

Dr. John

2/5

Not what I expected having heard some Dr. Dog before, very 1960s funky. Lots of rhythm and beats, vocals are less decipherable than I expected. I feel like this could've been in some Mad Men scenes

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I like it! The electronic music elements are more prominent throughout the album than I would've thought. There are a lot of sounds that are mostly instrumental/electronic which is cool because then the songs each bleed into the next.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

2/5

Wasn't ready for reggae, I feel like there have been quite a few recently. It's good, but for me each song sounded similar and blended into the next.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Beginning sounds more Beatles-esque than I would've thought. The tight harmonies and piano guiding the rhythm along is very Beatles circa mid 1960s, this is a good thing!

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Short album today, only 7 songs; love some Neil Young and this album did not disappoint. Classic Neil Young sound, not my all time favorite album of his, but still quite good.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Oh my god he looks so young on this cover, thats my first thought. Also, Breakdown is a phenomenal song, just so good. This album is classic Classic Rock. Also a very short album all things considered, a tight 30 minutes. I liked it in the way that I had expected.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Was not prepared for the Arctic Monkeys this morning but I love it! Honestly don't know if I have listened to anything past 'I Bet That You Look Good on the Dancefloor' and 'Marty Bum.' I forgot just how punk the Arctic Monkeys were in their early days. All in all a very solid album, good to mix it up on this Tuesday!

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

2/5

Literally never heard of this album or band. Very 1980s slow, punk, BritRock style music (a la Joy Division). Don't really like this one, not for me. Couldn't make it through, it also just didn't feel like the vibe for a Wednesday morning

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

I am stoked about this one. Haven't listened to this album all the way through in a while. This album does in fact hit, solid rock throughout.

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

Don't know the last time I listened to this album, good to follow RHCP! Very good, obviously strong start with London Calling but some of the other songs are mellower (for the Clash) than I would've thought. Started and ended with the classic Clash sound
