1001 Albums Summary

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

Machine Head by Deep Purple

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Queen II by Queen

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Joni Mitchell's Woodstock is superior

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Only knowing their hit songs I was really surprised at how wild this album was, I thoroughly enjoyed it

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Even knowing who he was I had somehow never listened to any BB King, this was great and unusually for me really liked that it was a live recording

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents

Bonkers but I liked it

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music

I like Roxy Music but this wasn't my fave - I liked the instrumentals (ty Brian Eno), but couldn't really get around most of it - the second half of the album was stronger than the first IMO

evermore by Taylor Swift

I try not to be a Taylor hater but I can't even really get around her folkier music - I liked the Dessner touch but other than that this didn't really resonate. I feel like at the time of release this seemed like a much bigger departure for her than it does now, nothing really stood out to me. I also think this should have been edited down - normally I love a 1 hour album but a lot of these sounded pretty similar to me.

Dookie by Green Day

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

I loved this when it came out, but as a whole album I'm not sure it's held up - Supermassive Black Hole and Knights of Cydonia still slap though

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

A great album however I'm not sure I can psychologically endure entering a Steely Dan phase at this stage of my life. I'm also realising I thought Steely Dan and Dave Matthews Band were the same (??) so clearly I have some unpacking to do.
