1001 Albums Summary

Purple Rain by Prince

Enjoyable, eclectic. Felt like prog rock pop fusion, I liked how songs blended track to track. Loved the guitars when they were emphasised. Not a massive fan of some of the vocals.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy

Rubber Soul by Beatles

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Feels like original authentic bluesy rock n roll.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Nice collection of songs, love the sort of raw garage rock sound

The Clash by The Clash

Nice collection of songs, love the sort of raw garage rock sound

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs

Nice vibe, like the vocals a lot

Murmur by R.E.M.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

Some guitar parts are interesting but a lot of the repetitive sharp notes are annoying. Absolutely can’t get into the vocals.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads

Loving this sort of soft punk rock vibe, remind me of social distortion

evermore by Taylor Swift

I wasn’t going to put this on but that’s not the spirit of the challenge! I can’t deny she’s got a knack for a melodic hook. Half of the tracks so far have got a bit of like an emotive build up or something. I am however struggling with the lyrics 😅 might be wrong but I’ve had the impression of most of these pining after men
