1001 Albums Summary

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

Weird how every song kinda sounds like 'Sultans of Swing'. Not really enough there to hold my interest for the whole album, it just sort of blended into one long similar sounding thing on side 2.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Fine, not my scene, really. Kinda samey and a bit overlong. Pleasant enough background music, inoffensive.

A Night At The Opera by Queen

More up my street. Very well sequenced. As someone who's never really gotten into Bohemian Rhapsody, I was surprised how well it fitted into this, so I guess the eclectism of the project really works in it's favour.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

Some solid gold hits on here, but also maaaaaaybe a tad too long The flute tunes at the end tended to blend into one song certainly.

Purple Rain by Prince

Good album, classic hits and doesn't outstay it's welcome

Music From Big Pink by The Band

Very of it's time sixties jam rock. Did nothing for me, very dull.

Pyromania by Def Leppard

Painfully 80's. Aside from the single 'Photograph' eminently forgettable.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

Not the best Oasis album, and Liam's voice hurts so bad, but the quality of songwriting shines through

So by Peter Gabriel

unexpectedly solid and contemporary sounding.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle

Trite. Boring. Throwback jams without a spark of life. Nope.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals

I like this album, decently chill and fun

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev

Nothing. Utterly forgettable. By the time I'd finished listening to it I had no idea it even existed.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

It's fine

War by U2

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

oh lord no

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin

In Our Heads by Hot Chip

tended to blend into the background

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Strong start, loses my attention towards the end

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Reggae is not my thing, so it all kinda sounds the same. Appreciated the lyrics and themes tho

Illmatic by Nas

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

I might have preferred it as an instrumental maybe? I can see where a lot of artists have pulled from it though.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela

Fragile by Yes

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

All the CCR albums and you pick this one? Very of it's time, some cringe, and the least impactful of the BIG songs that everyone knows

boring and listless
