1001 Albums Summary

The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow

I have never heard of them before. I liked the piano parts etc. I’m not sure I’d rate it among the best albums of all time, maybe I’d give it another listen though.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield

Lots of classic hits on this album. It definitely sounds like the era it comes from, so it’s not something I’d listen to again every day, but it is foundational rock and roll music. I don’t think Dusty wrote any of the songs herself, which takes it down a star for me.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Classic stones. Love it!

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

I’m not a huge R&B fan, but once I got to the middle of the album I was liking the instrumentation, and it was less about needing to focus on the words in order to enjoy it. I probably need to listen again to give a more informed review.
