1001 Albums Summary

Grace by Jeff Buckley

A helluva album to sgtart this journey on. I always forget Buckley only ever put out one studio album. You can definitely see how he influenced Thom Yorke a bit to get a little more melodic and falsetto on later Radiohead records. His Hallelujah cover is iconic and some might argue the definitive version, with all due respect to Leonard Cohen.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Melodic, orchestral, and perfectly what it was for the time in 2008.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear

Good album. Had not heard much Burning Spear, but will definitely seek out more.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

One of the best band to integrate pop, funk, dance and social integrity

Liquid Swords by GZA

One of the better Wu Tang solo efforts

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

Haven't listened to this record from front to back in years. The beauty is in the simplicity. The beats and chords are perfect, the lyrics subversive and singable. Put this on for kids nowadays and they will laugh you away. Jokes on them the Sex Pistols fucking rocked.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Just a fucking great album, top to bottom

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab

Weirdly hypnotic loops and amazing vocals, creates a simultaneously lo-fi and highly curated sound
