1001 Albums Summary

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

A classic album from the 80’s that is still fresh and can sit well in between albums of today…. Well crafted from David Byrne!

The White Album by Beatles

Probably one of my favourite albums of all time! Just way ahead of its time! Too many classics to name- although side 2 is phenomenal- I will, Blackbird, Rocky Racoon. I am guessing there will be more Beatles albums on the list…

All Directions by The Temptations

I have enjoyed the Temptations for most of my life but I must confess that I’ve always heard the greatest hits. Listening to this album reduced my enthusiasm. This is all over the place, no coherence… there are of course some classic songs on here especially Papa was a rolling stone - 11 minute version… that in itself is worthy of listening to the whole album.
