1001 Albums Summary

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

Oof, cover versions of songs I don't particularly like. Competent but not my thing

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

A forest is of course the most recognisable track, but a good moody second album. Love the story that The Final Sound is so short because the tape ran out.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder

A forest is of course the most recognisable track, but a good moody second album. Love the story that The Final Sound is so short because the tape ran out.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

Picture Book by Simply Red

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

Stardust by Willie Nelson

The score is not for the quality of music or the talent of Willie, its just that an album of cover versions doesn't do it for me. No matter how good they are.

Ray Of Light by Madonna

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

Not the best Johnny Cash album, made worse by Spotify's censorship. Why they bleep "Son of a Bitch" I've no idea

To hear Stanley Unwin narrating the fairy tale of Happiness Stan made this worthy of the score
