1001 Albums Summary

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin

One of the best.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

Better than I remember. Great guitar riffs, but I can pass on Axle.

Best of the best.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

Modern take on classic rock and roll. Fun album that holds up.

Interesting album, but inconsistent. Very clear which songs are May vs Mercury. Hidden gem in "'39"
