1001 Albums Summary

still undecided after all these years whether this album is their best or surfer rosa not a fan of the album version of waves of mutilation best song: monkey gone to heaven worst song: dead

one of the best voices of all time hadn’t listened to this in full before, not something i’d normally listen to all the way through albums from this era often suffer from having a few “filler” songs which have no real place but that’s not too much of an issue here best song: soul serenade worst song: dr feelgood

right up my street this, need to dive deeper into fela's stuff best song: mistake worst song: n/a

love this one kind of a transition album in bowie's career in many ways as he leaned into slightly more out there lyrics and song structures funkier than i remember best song: station to station worst song: n/a

fuckin YESSSSSSSSSSSSS it's up next on my vinyl shopping list best song: all of them worst song: n/a

hadn't listened to this back to front but i was very familiar with biko and games without frontiers beforehand very solid album, maybe not my favourite out of his self titled trilogy though always love that gated reverb drum sound best song: biko worst song: n/a

another album i'm familiar with but had never listened to in full lovely sunday evening listen, will be coming back to this one but it's still not my favourite stones record (despite wild horses being my favourite song of theirs) best song: wild horses worst song: n/a

bit of a mixed bag for me this one bridges the gap between can't buy a thrill and the royal scam/aja nicely overall it's probably my 2nd least favourite dan album ahead of two against nature but when it's good it's really fuckin good best song: any major dude will tell you worst song: east st louis toodle-oo

this generator just knows me so well insane album which seems to pull influences from everywhere to create something unique glad to hear they reconciled recently too. never too late best song: the only living boy in new york worst song: n/a

where was this album when i was 17 and dead into uk indie from the 2000s best song: confusion worst song: nightmare 2

back on form after the zutons yesterday best song: georgia on my mind worst song: n/a

absolutely not my style at all, ended up giving me a headache halfway through lol very much a loudness wars thing going on here with the production on some of these songs can't deny her talent, the high points are spectacular best song: hurt worst song: still dirrty

peak kraftwerk i don't know many electronic albums both as exhilarating and as pleasant as this one, especially not from the 70s best song: kometenmelodie 2 worst song: n/a

has some of my favourite buck guitar work on here but the record flames out far too soon begins a run of spotty rem records in my opinion, can't beat their old stuff best song: the one i love worst song: king of birds

this is a far cry from avalon and flesh and blood some bright spots don't hide the fact that this is overall a bit mid for roxy music's extremely high standards ends strongly best song: sea breezes worst song: remake/remodel

hell yeah brother best song: moonbeam song worst song: n/a

so much of everything going on here, love the sampling best song: dude yr so crazy worst song: n/a

this is where rem really started to take off, and subsequently where my interest in them starts to drop off still that lovely sound on quite a few of these songs best song: world leader pretend worst song: n/a

had no idea what to expect, came into this only knowing relax loved it, most 80s thing i've ever heard some great basslines so that's me sold best song: san jose worst song: n/a

hell yeah best song: waking up worst song: connection

ok ok ok ok not my favourite beatles album, but probably the best beatles album back in the ussr one of the best openers ever best song: blackbird worst song: n/a

well this has not aged well might have blown my mind in 1996 but alas it's 2024 best song: reflections worst song: universal music

nah

making movies will always be their best, and would rather listen to their self titled or even communique/love over gold over this, but it's still nothing to be sniffed at best song: money for nothing worst song: one world
