1001 Albums Summary

I hate the MTV Unplugged house engineer team’s approach to acoustic guitars and bass so much

Not super coherent as an album, but a lot of fun: Jack White is at his best when working with less resources

Wanted to like this more than I actually did

Good fall album with some all timer tracks - just a little too slick

British guys playing blues isn’t nearly as exciting in 2024 as it was in 1967 - but I appreciate a trio, and Ginger Baker rules. pretty cool chord progressions on the originals, too. Highs: Strange Brew, World of Pain, Tales of Brave Ulysses (aka White Room, part 1); Lows: Take it Back, Mother’s Lament.

Just the best

Bell bottom blues and Layla are great, but the rest is pretty tough to get through

That’s a LOT of tracks, Billy

Dap-kings!

Bowie at his… bowiest, maybe? A delicate and eclectic piano-driven branch between two very different, more rocking directions (The Man who sold the World and Ziggy Stardust). All over the place in the best way possible.
