1001 Albums Summary

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

Enjoyed. Would listen again. Surprised by some 60’s vibes. Stand out track Come Alive.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen

First listen and knew little. I’ll definitely return to this one.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I wonder why I never got into the 90's RHCP? I like this album but they often sound very repetitive and have to be in a certain mood to enjoy.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Every year or so something reminds me of this one and love coming back to it. Take Five - no. 1 jazz single of all time? So good!

In Utero by Nirvana

Huge guitar sound! First time to listen to an entire Nirvana. Like the music but never really dug ‘em.

Metallica by Metallica

Been a long time since I've listened to this album but it's timeless. All great songs. Production sounds so good.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix

Is Little Wing really that short?

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys

Missed this on. Never heard of album or the band. Looks like Lazarus was a hit. A little too noisy for me. Some production seems a bit gimmicky.

Shadowland by k.d. lang

Great album. Great voice. I got into her with Ingenue and never backtracked to this. Wish I would have.

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

Not really the way I want to listen to Sam Cooke. The audience is having a good time but distracting to me. I see that there are three versions of this album with varying degrees of the the audience in the mix.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Fave.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Probably first on the list that I don’t see a need to go back to. Most songs settle into a groove and don’t change much. Do like some of the 80’s inspiration.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx

I tried. Wish I could none stars. Not meaning it’s bad I’m just not a good judge with this genre.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears

They go deeper than I thought from just hearing the hits over the years. I feel like this has to be the blueprint for Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Blunderbuss by Jack White

Like the diversity. Need to come back to this one.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music by Ray Charles

Use to not love the backing vocals (the Jordanairs I think?) in the past but they’ve grown. Masterpiece!

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Like the hits and the bass playing and sound in first half of album is phenomenal. Back half of songs don’t do anything for me.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy

Very forgettable to me.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds

Beatlesque

Play by Moby

I've never listened to much Moby but this is really good. Like the meditative ones that seem to be in the second half of this album mostly. Long!

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

Glad to listen to this again. It’s been awhile since going in my classics playlist

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream

Doubt that I come back to this one.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

Just not my cup of tea but I can find something to like in these sort of albums. Track Frontier Psychiatrist.

British Steel by Judas Priest

Metal to the core.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

I think this creates the rock sound of the 80’s
