1001 Albums Summary

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Good pop album, a couple of standout songs

The Predator by Ice Cube

Lots of anti-police rhetoric. You can tell Rodney King is prevalent

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar

Love TPAB. Great commentary with great beats and lyrics

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

Very repetitive, same looping instrumentals. Some very tinny sounding instruments as well that hurt my ears at points. Last song was horrible

Dummy by Portishead

Deeper instrumentals, interesting lyrics that provide a certain depth to the songs

The Bends by Radiohead

Love Radiohead. Very thoughtful sounding album

Good rock album. Doesn’t stand out in anything extraordinary, but enjoyable

Great album, love the Arctic Monkeys

Can’t stand her voice. Couldn’t even finish the album

Never really listened to them but liked them. Kind of like a Nirvana vibe

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Grace by Jeff Buckley

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar

I vibe with this

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret by Soft Cell

A couple stand out songs, while the album as a whole sounds somewhat repetitive from song to song. A decent pop album, with some must listen songs, but not a necessary listen from start to finish

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

Very soothing
