1001 Albums Summary

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Not my bag, but certainly not bad. Loved the drum solo on “Flight of the Rat”. Got queasy on the last track from the left and right panning of sound.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu

Fantastic. However, no stand out tracks that keep me wanting more.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela

Delightful my-style jazz, with a tinge of funk. Excellent.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba

My new favorite version of House Of the Rising Son.

The Doors by The Doors

There was a time when I liked this shit, but it was 25+ years ago.

The Stooges by The Stooges

Not my favorite Stooges, but still a classic.

Sail Away by Randy Newman

This is amazing, but I wish Nilsson would have covered every single one of Newman's songs.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

My first Zappa. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Certainly a better jam artist than Phish.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

I used to like this more. It sounds generic now. Which perhaps isn't fair because it was innovative at the time. I just can't tell the difference in my head.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Reggae isn't my thing, but I'm warming up to it.

Music From Big Pink by The Band

I like Dylan's versions better.

Dirty by Sonic Youth

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury

Blockheads is a standout.
