1001 Albums Summary

Amnesiac by Radiohead

This album was monotonous. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn’t listened to it on my commute to work but instead at home on a rainy day with a pair of really good headphones.

Either Or by Elliott Smith

I found this album repetitive. The only track that stood out for me was Bottle Up and Explode!

Imagine by John Lennon

I own this album on vinyl. I bought it because it was iconic. I haven’t listened to it much. This album is way ahead of its time and even includes a brutal diss track.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

I was aware of Kraftwerk and how influential they were. I never listened to them before. This was a perfect album to listen to on headphones while cleaning and doing chores. I will be listening to it again.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

I love Louis Prima!

Nevermind by Nirvana

I love this album and own it on vinyl. The Chauffeur is one of my favorite songs.
