1001 Albums Summary

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

A sad folk album should be a 5/5 for me, but this album couldn’t grab me like I was hoping it would. It’s lyrically beautiful, but I think the music is just okay which is a bummer

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

Central Reservation by Beth Orton

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra

This album had me feeling a lot of different ways. Some of the songs were so eerie it was lowkey freaking me out. Overall I enjoyed it even though I don’t think it’s for me

Mothership Connection by Parliament

Night Life by Ray Price

It’s not terrible, but it is incredibly boring and uninspired

🥱

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard

Guero by Beck

This Nation’s Saving Grace by The Fall

Achtung Baby by U2

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

I had to skip one of the last songs because it just sounded like an alarm going off and I couldn’t do that for 6 minutes straight.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

I get it it now

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash
