1001 Albums Summary

This time listening to Thundercat, definitely someone to tune in to. Felt like a Zappa and Brian Wilson collab, with some soul thrown in. Some great moments on this album, but at times a bit too ponderous for my liking. Could have had a few songs trimmed to make near perfect.

Absolutely nailed on 5 stars. Not a bad song here. One or two transition tracks, but still good. But after that I'd say there are 7 songs that could each have been hit single.

This is almost 20 years old! I can accept the 90s as being 'the past' now, but the 00's is still tough. Especially an album with this sound, which is pushing the envelope in many ways. Good album, remember MIA first appearing, but not one I would reach for for repeat listens particularly.

Another introduction to an artist I know of, but have never listened to in depth. Her singing style is very expressively lyrical. Enjoyed it.

Perhaps quite something when released, but feels a bit flat listening to it now.

Really charming album, but at the same time, hearing Willie Nelson cover various standards is of no major consequence. I hope he has other albums in the top 1001!

Heard of Creedence Clearwater Revival before, but must admit, with that name, I think I'd written them as likely to be bloated prog like music. Got that one wrong! Really enjoyed it, blues framed rock, no bloat in sight!

Not really listened in depth to any Neil Young before. It was quite folky at points, which is ok, but could hear rock and some punk sounds coming through as well. Happy to have this introduction.

It was interesting listening to this after Creedence Clearwater Revival for the first time. Similar sound (RnB rock), but prefer CCR. Some great songs on here, including Sympathy for the Devil which is my favourite Stones track. But in general, Micks vocals feels like a bit of a drag. A dirge. The music provides the melody, but would want more form the vocals. One plus though was Salt of the Earth, which I've not heard before. But then, perhaps that was good because of the gospel backing singers rather than the band themselves?

Liked the vibe, and in some ways, found it interesting to listen to Talking Heads with an album that I didn't recognise any of the songs from.

A classic. Gets a bit lost with some excessive guitar noodling at times, but in general a lot of great metal songs

Devil's haircut has indeed been in my mind since it first came out, in a section that age and alcohol cannot rot. However never listened to the album. It's some decent stuff, but didn't spark any major connection for me.
