1001 Albums Summary

Moon Safari by Air

Reminds of the music that must have played in Foucault’s head. Pure space funk. Perfect for a late night drive or a slightly stoned long Sunday winter afternoon run.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

The greatest rock n roll album of all time

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

The three singles—Go Where You Wanna Go, California Dreamin’-and Straight Shooter are quintessential 60s flower pop. The rest of the album is filler and the covers are done better elsewhere.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

The title song is classic. I forgot I was listening to the rest of the album

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

It was fun, but I doubt I would listen again
