1001 Albums Summary

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

Not exactly my cup of tea on first listen, will give it another listen at some point though as I did actually quite like what I heard

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

Really enjoyed this, Janis Joplin has such an amazing voice!

Live! by Fela Kuti

This was just ok, it started off with quite a cool vibe but not sure I would listen to it again

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes

This was really cool, enjoyed the acoustic approach to punk and felt I heard more of the lyrics than would be normal for punk music.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin

What a singer, what a voice. Incredible

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Quite good, a bit on the repetitive side as you get through the album though. Nice summer vibes

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

Hot Fuss by The Killers

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

Let’s dance to joy division! Great album, great band

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

I had high hopes based on other reviews but for me, it’s no better than ok. Can definitely see why someone might like it but it’s not for me.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett

Terrible, how did this make the list?

Smile by Brian Wilson

Terrible stuff. Not my vibe at all!

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent

Banger!

Blackstar by David Bowie

I wanted to like this more than I did.

It’s a banger, it was a banger when it was released and it’s aged incredibly well (or I’ve aged with it?)
