1001 Albums Summary

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

It’s got like 3 good songs and the rest I don’t care for. What does that make - an OK album, maybe good-ish?

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

Not a fan, but sometimes the vibe was good.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

I’ve never listened to the full album before, although I’m familiar with the hit song Running up that hill. My strongest impression was that this is an album that can handle multiple listens and might get better with each listen.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Listened to the 2008 and 2021 remaster and vastly preferred the 2021. Even so, this wasn’t really my thing.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

I listened to this album at least four times and each time it melted into the background, just providing some good vibes. Enjoyable but nothing that really caught my ear.

Eagles by Eagles

Sex Packets by Digital Underground

Marquee Moon by Television

Better Living Through Chemistry by Fatboy Slim

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

Maybe I’m being harsh I’m not finding this album very memorable and the general style isn’t really my taste.

Illmatic by Nas

Infected by The The

Pyromania by Def Leppard

Nice album, really liked Photograph.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music

What is this? Quite experimental for sure and it didn’t appeal to me at all. It’s funky and mysterious, but not in a way I like.

Electric by The Cult

This is what I imagine when I think of classic hard rock. And I’m not a fan. It’s not something that grabs my interest or attention but feels more like a solid wall of sound. It sounds nice enough but it’s not something I’ll be putting in my playlist.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Huh, so that’s where that organ is from.

Dookie by Green Day

Basket Case and When I Come Around are still pretty great songs.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

Well, it’s absolutely crazy that this is a live album. It sounds so good! But not quite my style.

Picture Book by Simply Red

I like this. Unique vocals, kinda experimental, cool disco groove on some tracks.

Honky Tonk Masquerade by Joe Ely

Why is "honky tonk music" the way my mind wants to define this album? Right, because Joe Ely sings about it ALL the time. There's nothing wrong with this album but nothing stands out either.
