1001 Albums Summary

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Funky, great musicians but not my usual cup of tea.

Harvest by Neil Young

Overproduced for no reason at times ("A Man Needs a Maid" and "There's a World") and a damn near perfect album. "Words" is a great closer and the production is so clean and crisp.

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

Meh. Love the singles but the rest of it is ok.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Beautiful, sleepy (in a good way) and gorgeous arrangements!

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Great dinner music.

Green by R.E.M.

Good album, but not my favorite REM album.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen

Similar to Joy Division. I have enough Joy Division in my life.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys

Happier Depeche Mode

All Directions by The Temptations

Funky, fun and great singles!

Odessa by Bee Gees

Psychedelic, folky opus. No real stand out tracks.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

Awesome all the way through

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar

Interesting and educational too, but not a repeat listen.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Good album, but I prefer The Queen is Dead.

Gold by Ryan Adams

Excellent album. Probably a little too long but the songs are so good and I don't know what to cut.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon

Awesome debut

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

Good blues rock. La Grange is the highlight!

Murmur by R.E.M.

Good album

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen

Mostly forgettable

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry by Billy Bragg

Good songs

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

Great singles and covers

Calenture by The Triffids

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Dark and broody but nothing of substance except I See a Darkness.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

No notes

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt

Not for me
