1001 Albums Summary

Document by R.E.M.

This album was such a moment.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin

Bring me to church!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Need to listen to this on shrooms

1999 by Prince

Some classics and songs that still hold up. But a lot of experimental work that is grating to the ears.

Transformer by Lou Reed

Metallica by Metallica

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

If you know the band this is probably brilliant to you. But this requires knowledge of the history and why it was written to understand this. I definitely didn't need to hear this before I died.

25 by Adele

This album is for when you want to be SANGIN.

Being There by Wilco

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno

This album isn't musical. It sounds like a collection of sound effects. However those sounds would inspire and find their way into bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is an origin album for sounds of others. You'll be noticing them everywhere.
