1001 Albums Summary

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

This album shows Young's growth as a song writer

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

I think The Velvet Underground and Nico is a better album.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

A great album with several clasic 60's songs

#1 Record by Big Star

Great sound for a first album

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

Parton is an excellent song writer but she is limited by the constraints of mainstream country music

American Pie by Don McLean

If you want someone to tug on your feelings....come here.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers

The Joshua Tree by U2

Not a big U2 fan. The album in total was better than the singles on it.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies

Great instrumentalists! I'd give them 5 stars if the vocalist didn't sing every damned song the same.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield at his finest

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson

Some singers are in the pocket some are a little before or after the pocket. Willie sings when he wants to...the pocket be damned. It's one of the things that make him one of a kind.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

As good as this album is her "To Bring You My Love" is even better

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Musically they are good but lyrically they just repeat the same words over and over......and over

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret by Soft Cell

Welcome to the Afterfuture by Mike Ladd

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

As much a poet as a song writer. It is easy to see why so many budding song writers of the 60's/70's drew inspiration from Dylan

Abraxas by Santana

Probably the album that did more than any other to add Latin beat/percussion to 60's music

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
