1001 Albums Summary

Disraeli Gears by Cream

My heart sunk a wee bit when this came up as, ahem, my debut album. It’s ok tho! Probably helps that there ain’t too much jamming on it and the songs are mostly pretty contained. His help me, I think the Ginger Baker one may be my favourite?

Imagine by John Lennon

Graceland by Paul Simon

Yeah yeah I know but it’s hard not to like this.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

No individual tracks really sunk into me (this must still be their pre-banger days) but I liked the vibe.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Yeah? Yeah! All my reference points were old man music but I think I got it.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone

Was surprised by how eclectic this was but not for me.
