1001 Albums Summary

British Steel by Judas Priest

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

Boring background music.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Beatles with effects. Not in the mood for this right now. Or any time, probably.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush

An inspiration for many contemporary popular artists. She’s just perfect and this album is way ahead of its time.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

I started listening to it, got to 4 tracks or so, but it’s really not my kind of music, gave it up. :(

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

Packed with ideas and wittiness, and oh it just makes me tired to listen.

A Night At The Opera by Queen

Station To Station by David Bowie

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

Not a great fan of indie pop, this was nice though.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu

Instant headache.

Blunderbuss by Jack White

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Paul Simon by Paul Simon

Either boring or annoying. Lack of originality.

90 by 808 State

Not bad, but can’t see the point why it should be on a ‘must listen’ list.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

Sad country tunes, perfect for break up.
