1001 Albums Summary

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

I actually saw Coldplay on this tour, and it was excellent. Really enjoy this album, although this is where my Coldplay listening pretty much stopped. I've certainly heard some of their more recent things, but between this album and Parachutes, I'm good. Highlights are obvious: Politic, Clocks, The Scientist

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Classic. The Rage template never changed--Zack + Morello an incredible combo, backed with a fierce rhythm section. "Killing in the Name" is the biggest hit, but Bombtrack, Fistful of Steel and Freedom are all excellent. Their best album imo.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

My favorite Pink Floyd album. They are, generally speaking, not really my jam, but I do listen to this album semi-regularly, especially the title track

My Generation by The Who

Classic! Saw them just a few years ago, still brilliant.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

Pretty Vacant and Holidays in the Sun all-time bangers.

Pretenders by Pretenders

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem

New to me. I'm not really in this mode anymore, reminds me of DJ Shadow. Don't hate it. Probably won't seek it out again

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

The best Metallica album, stone classic!

Either Or by Elliott Smith

Classic. Best Elliott

Your New Favourite Band by The Hives

Big fan of this band, even as I can't tell the difference between albums

Classic. Haven't listened to this particular album that much, not as much as Up for the Down Stroke, but of course it bangs

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

Amazingly important to my high school years. Still know every note by heart, and only sick of one song ("Paradise City" I never need to hear again).
