Dookie
Green Day
Not a fan - repetitive except Longview which I quite enjoyed. The rest largely blended into one another in a mush. That being said, I can observe and respect this album's influence on the late 90s/early 2000s teen media craze : it's a soundtrack to angst, awkwardness and self discovery.

James Brown Live At The Apollo
James Brown
still hate live albums - high pitched screaming from the audience was soo distracting throughout. In spite of this + considering it was recorded in 1962, it sounds pretty great. loveeed the instrumentals, my favourite tracks were Think, Night Train and of course the Please, Please, Please medley. Drinking game if you want to die : a shot every time James Brown cries 'Help Me'

A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Coldplay
God put a smile upon your face is a GREAT song, that aside there does NOT need to be more than one Coldplay album on the 1001 list (even one's a bit much). This whining soft rock stadium slop becomes a lot better when you're happy and drunk on a train home from manchester - thanks Elliot for making coldplay enjoyable for 40ish mins

Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
One of Dylan's MANY masterpieces - the first one I ever listened to in full when I was first discovering his music.

Music From Big Pink
The Band
idc what anyone else says this was BRILLIANT ✋ they're still just as good without Dylan. The weight is a classic, other personal highlights were tears of rage and lonesome suzie but picking favourites was really hard this time. This album is another piece of irrefutable evidence that the late 60s gave us the best music in modern history!
