On The Beach
Neil Young
0001 / 22.12.2023
So... this is the first album 1001albumsgenerator gave me. I haven't heard a single Neil Young song before and I don't even recognize any of their names.
This is a very chill and nice album. I don't have much to say about it, just listen to it if you just want something relaxing. The only downside is that the songs drag on quite a bit and four minutes can feel like ten sometimes, but other than that, it's a very good album. I'll probably put it on sometime while trying to fall asleep, and I mean that as a good thing

Aftermath
The Rolling Stones
0002 / 22.12.2024
I was so happy that I'm going to hear Paint It, Black again... but then I learned about the UK and US versions. And 1001albumsgenerator gave me this cover and not the blurred one so I guess that means no PIB for me. At least I got to hear Mother's Little Helper which is easily one of my favorites by TRS, maybe even better than PIB. Going Home starts really great but the jamming seems pointless. The first few tracks are really good but holy shit I can't stand High and Dry. So much of the album reminds me of the last CCR album

Live At The Harlem Square Club
Sam Cooke
0003 / 23.12.2024
I listened to the One Night Stand version because it's the only one available on Spotify. Anyways, this is absolute joy and magic. I never heard a single Sam Cooke song before, and now he's my favorite soul singer, even better than Marvin Gaye.
The introduction itself is already very energetic. Feel It is going straight to my favorite songs list, with currently 165 songs out of the almost 4000 I have on my main playlist. This album is just banger after banger, every single song is so great
Also I need to know the exact location of the place where the people are so gay. Just for research purposes, of course. No queer intentions on my mind

The Band
0004 / 24.12.2024
I expected a band called The Band to be the most generic shit, and while it kind of is, it's not bad music in the slightest. I'm not a big country fan, I don't think this album is anything special, but I respect it. It's just nice

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector
Various Artists
0005 / 25.12.2024
It started off really sweet but it got very boring very quickly. I think I heard this exact version of Here Comes Santa Claus so that's cool I guess. I don't feel like listening to this ever again, so I finished it despite being bored by it so that I don't need to later because I'd have to at some point to hear all the 1001+ albums. Despite Phil Spector being a very shitty person, the ending was actually kinda cute

The Stone Roses
0006 / 26.12.2024
I always thought a band called The Stone Roses will be very generic, boring and nobody's favorite band. Anyways, I cried multiple times while listening to this. Maybe not because of the music but because I just randomly started to hate myself and think about suicide so much that I don't even remember the last time something like this happened. And this album felt really comforting while I'm at a very low point. Please listen to Fools Gold too, it's great
