1001 Albums Summary

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

Great opening track, favorite oasis album top to bottom.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack

Sounds like a 90s movie soundtrack, not in the good way

A Night At The Opera by Queen

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Intro/outro are a little much, but the main three tracks are all absolute epic.

Low by David Bowie

This is like heady topper, I can taste that it is great, good quality, well crafted but also that I do not like it.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Great rock album. Good flow to the album, was a great listen.

London Calling by The Clash

Decent album, flows well, just not interesting to me.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Good album, but a little uneven. Amazing how polished it all is considering the outsider feel Iggy portrays.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

Really good, kept my toe tapping the entire time. Do not remember liking this nearly as much as I am.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band

Last bongo in Belgium has an amazing crescendo, literal goosebumps. The originals are really good, the covers generally not my favorite, with Ina gotta devita being the exception, it really slaps (bongo pun)

Rubber Soul by Beatles

Almost all the songs are good or better, but album flow is odd, not cohesive

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes

The upbeat songs are really good, but all the slower songs just don't hit, uneven

Disintegration by The Cure

This album made me the happiest saddest possible. Everything fits together start to finish, romantic and hopeless.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

Really enjoyed the album, great example of an expert singer songwriter at the height of their powers. Flowed great, just amazing all around.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian

Beautiful album, definitely see the through lines to bedroom music and singer songwriters of today. Pleasantly surprised

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow

This is something I might listen to when reading.

Van Halen by Van Halen

Wow, that is a great album. Their worst tracks are hits for any other band in that era. Tons of swagger, skills to back it up.

Graceland by Paul Simon

Zydeco? At least it had call me Al

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Very heavy, really like the instrumentation. Makes sense as an album, just a little too heavy for my sensibilities

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter

Congrats Deerhunter, you made the most generic indie alt rock album I've ever experienced. This is a truly amazing achievement.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy

Very surprising and odd album

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

Perfect for: background music for an early 2000s themed game night

Abbey Road by Beatles

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

This sounds like it could have been released today as an alt country album. Really enjoyed it, thought it was really good, flowed well.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is an amazing guitarist, but otherwise way overrated.

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

Made In Japan by Deep Purple

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

Copper Blue by Sugar

Bob Mould, it is fine 90's alt rock, can see how it influenced some of the scene, just not an overall great album.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die by Tortoise

This sounds like a band just compiled all the intros, outros, and interstitials they made for an album or two and turned that into its own album. It has some really cool stuff on it, but it is just herky jerky, incomplete sounding

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black

Sea Change by Beck

Stankonia by OutKast

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

Hypnotised by The Undertones

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

Harvest by Neil Young

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Purple Rain by Prince

This is a great album. Song placement on the album makes the singles shine, and some of the arrangements that were not in the radio singles enhance the songs. Just freaking amazing

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction

Spent most of my life not liking Jane's Addiction. Turns out I really liked the overall album. Little jammy for my tastes, but when it rocks out, it's really good.

Arrival by ABBA

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I'm getting this one 25 years post it's release. I personally don't love it, but it's hard not to hear all of the influence it had on a generation of artists. You can hear something from this album in almost every song played on alt Nation today. It's really amazing.
