1001 Albums Summary

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

3 stars.

Moving Pictures by Rush

The Score by Fugees

Never listened to the whole thing and loved it. Especially the interludes!

Heroes by David Bowie

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes

Brazilian psych rock could grow on me but it needs time

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

More Songs About Buildings And Food by Talking Heads

This was probably way ahead of its time in the 70s. Had a lot of fun with this one.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

The Next Day by David Bowie

The Idiot by Iggy Pop

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted by Ice Cube

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

One of my all time favorite rock albums. Feel like it has it all. Vocals, guitar riffs, the freakin harmonica on You Shook Me. Hell, the drums on Dazed and Confused alone are enough to carry this album to 5 stars.

Violator by Depeche Mode

1999 by Prince

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright

GREY Area by Little Simz

Fragile by Yes

The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

Haven’t listened to much of the Smiths and I think it may stay that way. Every song sounds the same! I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either.

Crazysexycool by TLC

#1 Record by Big Star

Fun House by The Stooges

You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim

I don’t mean to be that guy, but my kids can do this. And they do it just a little better.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley

No Tim, just goodbye.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Kid A by Radiohead

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

I’m not sure what it was, but this album was awesome. Totally different vibe than what I’m used to.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks

Hotel California by Eagles

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Close To The Edge by Yes

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit

Removing the pre-teen angst and nostalgia this album held, it’s not terrible. But it’s not good. Rollin remix with Method Man Redman and DMX is what gained two of these three stars. I can appreciate that Durst doesn't take himself too seriously. Also I didn’t realize what chocolate starfish was until well into adulthood so bonus points for creativity Fred.

Tapestry by Carole King

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

I actually LOVED this album. So much that I listened to more of the Sparks. It’s hard not to have mad appreciation for a band that I feel like paved the way for bands like Queen. Fringe 3-4 but a 3 is a disservice imo

This album was WEIRD. I’ve heard track 2 Redondo Beach years ago and loved it. But these lyrics from track 7 for example: When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by Horses, horses, horses, horses Coming in in all directions White shining silver studs with their nose in flames He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses Do you know how to pony like Bony Maroney? Do you know how to twist? Well, it goes like this, it goes like this Baby mash potato Do the alligator, do the alligator And you twist the twister like your baby sister I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, I dig your baby sister Rise up on her knees Do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee-pee”
