1001 Albums Summary

Texted my sis this: “*I* really like, but more importantly i think you would! It helps draw a musical line from like the pop folk of the 60s to the more rocking 1980s music. It’s produced by David Bowie too. Imo the album builds so if you decide to listen and the first couple songs don’t grab I’d encourage giving it a few more songs. Walking on the Wild Side has these do do dos that i think you’d like AND THEY BUILD INTO A SAX SOLO to end the song. Just sayin’” additionally, it has kind of a proto TMBG or squirrel nut zipper sound on some songs. Content is queer af 4.5/5

opening song, makes you want playing behind you at this part of the movie of your life. Sax solo in way over yonder?! Good catchy songs, impactful lyrics, but I’m not sure it ‘advances the genre’. They are bops and I’ll listen again, and having heard the whole album a lot of them are on movie sound tracks so that untie thought was apparently shared by many 4/5

I think this did ‘advance the genre’ but most of the songs i didn’t actually like very much…? Perhaps if i was more into hip hop this would make me like it more in an appreciation kind of way… but i don’t think I’ll be listening to anything other than crack rock or pyramids again 3/5
