Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Feb 27 2024

Strong, influencial.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Feb 28 2024

Hammond joy! Influential and worthy of a high rank in the 1001. You will know these tracks if you have been around music a lot. I thought I would not know one, but I knew and enjoyed them all.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Feb 29 2024

I am so pleased to listen to Neil Young finally. This grew on me, and I found after three listens I enjoyed it a lot more. I will be returning.

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 01 2024
Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 12 2024

Brilliant. This album changed the sound of music, and I could not listen to it enough.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 26 2024
Suede by Suede
Apr 11 2024
Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Apr 12 2024

I do not understand why this is included. I know I may be wrong; maybe it is my "taste", but I listened to it three times and could not get excited about it or find a reason to listen again.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 15 2024
Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 23 2024

One high point of 1001 is discovering an artist you had dismissed and realising they are far better than you expected. Dolly Parton, I am sorry; I wasted decades when I could have enjoyed your music. At age 13, I decided you were not my taste; apparently, my taste has refined. I will be digging deep into your back catalogue. I have always respected you as a person; now, I also appreciate your music.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 10 2024
Live At Leeds by The Who
May 14 2024

The original six tracks are a possible 5, but if you listen to the whole concert, it is possibly 3. I enjoyed The Who for the first time.
