1001 Albums Summary

Moving Pictures by Rush

Not a big rush fan, but if there’s one to go with it’s Moving Pictures. Melodic prog done with precision and great musicianship.

xx by The xx

Hooky and yet also very minimalist. I’m not sure why I slept on this so long. There are some really nice songs on here and tons of space. I’ll be revisiting this again

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

The softer songs are easy to forget about given the title and its reputation. But they work better than some of the electric stuff. But a solid album

The Clash by The Clash

A classic. Hard edged. Rockin stuff.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

I enjoyed it while I listened, but few songs really stuck out as memorable. I’ll listen more and again. Helps explain why the live version of no woman no cry is the better one.

Station To Station by David Bowie

Golden Years and Wild is the wind are highlights, otherwise this is skippable Bowie

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti

Starts off strong but grows increasingly one-note as it goes on.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

Kinda boring aside from the Latin rhythms. Miles did it better on sketches of Spain

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Boring stuff

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers

A little too hokey for me. Stale harmonies about Jesus

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Rocks hard

Sea Change by Beck

Favorite beck album. Incredible

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson

Cool mash up music. Had never heard it but it explains where fatboy slim and dj shadow and moby came from

Murmur by R.E.M.

Good! Classic!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple

INCREDIBLE!!! Love this album. Masterpiece. Sounds unlike anything else. Strong sparse and nutty instrumentation.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

Absolutely lush and beautiful and timeless classic, despite how grounded it was in a specific time and place

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band

Some great singles just weird enough to stand the test of time.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Some great songs on here

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service

All guitar not a lot of variety

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Brasilia is not really my thing. And this is no Jorge Ben

Stardust by Willie Nelson

Classic!

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes

Some cool trippy tunes with an 80s bent

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

Cool instrumentation and rhythms in play, but not really my style. Cool for a bit, but I can’t latch onto the song structure or melodies.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Beautiful album. Lovely voice

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
