1001 Albums Summary

Have had some great nights on shelter island playing poker to this album with college friends. The story of life is unmatched through this album. “No one told you when you run, you missed the starting gun” has always stood out to me as a reflection point and makes me consider my position in this race. And despite trying to get the most out of life it’s always good to come home and warm your bones by the fire

Enjoyable listen. A few emotional songs about love leaving that I wasn’t expecting from the album after the opening

The vibraphone isn’t my favorite instrument, but some fun songs

Ever since rock band 3 and hearing cherub rock, I’ve been all in on this album. Warm distorted guitar throughout and always thought the smashing pumpkins had a unique effect on the vocals

That’s an album from the 60s that’s for sure. Maybe need to re-listen, the songs were good, just didn’t capture me

A poor man’s David Bowie mixed with an American attempt at British underground rock. Wasn’t bad but nothing that special

Strange overlay between acoustic guitar and techno. Didn’t know where this album was trying to go. And what’s with the cowboy themed cover art

Still getting a bit of David Bowie in the vocals but enjoyed the album far more than the recent Iggy Pop album. Enjoyed the sound though have a difficult time imagining the setting this is appropriate for

Thoroughly Irish with a fun big band made this a great listen despite the niche sound. Send me to the Ring of Kerry.

To be at this concert. Few jam out like the Allman Brothers. When they say rock and roll was born from blues, this album is a perfect exampl. Like the missing link between ape and neanderthal but it’s right here

I was impressed with the complex composition of the songs and I appreciate Prince as a guitarist. That said, people’s deep enthusiasm for him is beyond me

A little punk rock soft grunge. Can always get behind it as a 90s kid. That said, it isn’t standout by any means

Are they all great songs, no, but the album is fun and would love to have been at the disco listening to this in its prime
