1001 Albums Summary

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be, a few good tracks - the first track was rockier than I expected. Overall pretty bland.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

Smooth 👌

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp

A vibe but not much variation

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Confirmed what I already knew, my least favourite of the dance punk revival scene. Too much EDM not enough of the other elements makes it boring and repetitive.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

The best songs on this are not the best known. Submission, New York and EMI are standouts. I’d never listened to this album the whole way through, thinking of Sex Pistols as like the 1D of punk bands but it’s actually as good as is reputed.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

First album I haven’t listened to all the way through - not for me.
