1001 Albums Summary

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Awesome — Three Hours is a perfect fit for a movie montage.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

Better than I expected

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Leaving the 1 star open for the truly terrible — but this sucked. Child in Time truly excruciating. Boooo

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

Turns out I don’t like listening to this much jazz in a row

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

Unexpected awesomeness. When I saw an hour and a half of 8 minute long Icelandic music I did not expect it to be the best thing I’ve listened to in a while.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds

I’d give this 3.5 if I could — 60s harmonies are always excellent. I liked it overall but feel like I’ve gotta be into it to go 4 or higher

Marquee Moon by Television

Guitars throughout are awesome. 70s punk banger I was completely unaware of and enjoyed thoroughly

D by White Denim

Guiding Light is an excellent song. Up and downs w this — kinda lost me when it got a little too Phish-y. But some definite high points as well.

Sound Affects by The Jam

Middle of the road for me. Would like to give it a 2.5 instead of 3. Monday was a good song.

Timeless by Goldie

Wish I could vote zero stars.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

It’s a 3.5 that i can’t rate that way, so I’ll give it a 3. Listened to a couple tracks multiple times after the first run through. After Hours and Youthful Expression are the standouts for me

Legalize It by Peter Tosh

Middle of the road again today — enjoyable but nothing too exciting. Reggae always good to nod ya head to

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

Bucket is excellent. Good record. Good band.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

I’d like to rate it 3.75 but rounded up because the songs that hit, hit very hard. But there’s way too many meh songs and the excellence of the good ones get washed out overall. Overall enjoyed it

More Songs About Buildings And Food by Talking Heads

Tightest rhythm section I’ve heard in a minute and the songs all groove insanely hard. Excellent throughout

Nowhere by Ride

It’s a 2.5 but I’ll give it a 3 cuz I enjoyed the vibes until they wore me out after the first few songs. If you love 90s guitar effects this is the record for you

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth

Not a 1 star but not good at all. Boring and plodding. Yawwwwwn

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin

2.5. Boring boomer shit as per usual.

Out of Step by Minor Threat

Hardcore straight edge noise ain’t for me. No hate just nothing to hang my hat on here

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics

Kinda reminds me of Paul Revere & the Raiders but with often messy production value. Middle of the road for me. I’d give it a 2.75 if I could

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Truly one of the best albums of all time. Thriller into Beat It into Billie Jean is untouchable

Disintegration by The Cure

The Cure’s best album imo. Great from beginning to end.

Gris Gris by Dr. John

Had it at 3.5 but bumped it to 4 on another listen. Nothing here is excellent but it’s solid and the vibes are always cool and his voice rules imo

Kala by M.I.A.

3 songs were good. The rest were trash. No bueno

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

Night Train remains an eternal banger. Timeless.

I See You by The xx

4.5

High Violet by The National

Boring meandering repetitive pretentious. No bueno

Purple Rain by Prince

Computer Blue was awesome and I was unaware of its existence — radio songs are all all-time bangers. Easy 5

The Real Thing by Faith No More

No bad tracks. Wasn’t overly familiar beyond a couple songs — and Epic is the only one I knew well. Extremely good stuff

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Very pleasantly surprised how much this got me in the feels. Rain, Rain, Beatiful Rain multiple times today. Feels good

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

Not as good as their very best but it’s still Sgt Peppers. 5

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

3.5 —perfect baby making music but i don’t think I’d sit down and listen to this whole album outside of that scenario. It’s not bad but I went from a 4 to a 3.5 from ear fatigue

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

All bangers and I’m kinda shook I didn’t know this was as good as it is. Easy 5 stars

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow

Fine

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk

3.5

Fred Neil by Fred Neil

Borrrrrrrinnnnngggfg

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu

Weird on purpose. But I fucked w it. Laughing and Sentimental Journey are both awful but the good stuff is really good

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson

Not for everyone but these a lot of cool riffs in this. I dug it

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

3.5 — enjoyable but I wear out easy on reggae

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence

This is the kind of album I wanna find in doing this thing — never heard of it and never would have known it existed. And instead now I have and it was awesome

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

3.5

Nevermind by Nirvana

Tired but a classic

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest

21 by Adele

2.5 — listened on an airplane stressed out and It felt like I kept waiting for it to get to the good part

Pearl by Janis Joplin

4.5

Very by Pet Shop Boys

3.5 mostly meh w a couple good songs

Pink Flag by Wire

Excellent

Fun House by The Stooges

Iggy the most underrated front man ever

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

Meh

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart

Real bad — “Only a Hobo” was noteworthy in its cringyness

American Beauty by Grateful Dead

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

2.5 — didn’t enjoy much but I love Dolly so it’s rounded up

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
