1001 Albums Summary

And so begins listing to the 1001 albums you must listen to before you die! So this is where the expression "party like it's 1999" comes from! Sure, you may love purple, but do you love it as much as Prince? That is quite the sexually charged album. Not really my thing, but the melodies sure are catchy anyway! Song Stuck in my head for the rest of the day: Let's Pretend We're Married

Heck yeah, live blues time. Definitely more my style than yesterday's selection. When we got streaming music, we certainly gained more than we lost, but we lost the art of album order. This is one of those albums you absolutely cannot, should not listen to on shuffle willy nilly. Song Stuck in my head for the rest of the day: None. The whole album just kinda blends together to me, but that's fine.

Really liked it, would have liked it more if I understood more than a handful of the lyrics (granted, I have audio processing issues, so might just be me.)

That is NOT the style I was expecting from the band name and opening song name, but I'm certainly not complaining. "Proud Mary" marks the first song in this adventure that I recognize from outside of it (this is Day 5 for me)! And it remains very catchy. I can't help but wonder how many of these albums I would have felt were more unique or revolutionary at the time they came out. Naturally, if you made this list, you've probably inspired a lot of people since.

The use of Bongos in Pusherman really got me.

RESPECT BY ARETHRA FRANKLIN IS A COVER?!

I can imagine this on a Guardians of the Galaxy OST which automatically means I like it.

If a man says this is his favorite album I'd suggest his date start stuffing breadsticks.

why do some bands think cramming more poorly timed instruments in always makes for better music

Catchy but hard to get past the "hur dur foreign women better" racism opening.
