1001 Albums Summary

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

Meh- it's ok for what it is. It does what it says on the tin.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest

Absolutely foundational.

Mothership Connection by Parliament

P-Funk.

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Blech. I just don't like Amy Winehouse.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash

JOHNNY CASH.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Abbey Road by Beatles

I don't like the Beatles. Never have.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

Movin' on up is the obvious, big hit. It still sounds good. The rest of the album is pretty good, but nothing hits that height.

Street Life by The Crusaders

The most "music for brunch" record I've ever heard. But, would go well with scrambled eggs.

Pump by Aerosmith

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Entirely too funky. A delight.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Has my absolute favorite CCR song on it, which is Long As I Can See The Light. A collection of great songs.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead

I like the Dead, and I liked this record, but it wasn't the right time of day for it, if that makes sense.

Boston by Boston

Hard to rate- it is maybe the most classic rock album ever, which means I've heard it a billion times already. They're good at what they do for what they do, though.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down

I don't like the vocals, but the music is very well done.

Parklife by Blur

Nevermind by Nirvana

The sound of high school. No notes.

Ten by Pearl Jam

I drifted from PJ over the years, but man this first one is great.

Wanted to go 4.5, because there's a little filler here, but the heights are so very very good.

Music by Madonna

Completely forgettable, but the title track was pretty good.

L.A. Woman by The Doors

I fucking HATE the Doors. HATE HATE HATE. Self-indulgent twaddle.

Van Halen by Van Halen

Not always what you want, but if this is what you want, nobody does it better. Ain't Talkin Bout Love still goes so hard.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Beautiful, but very sleepy. Not for me.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
