1001 Albums Summary

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Beginning: Beautiful harmonies. Feels like a better predecessor to Mumford and Sons. Not really my kind of daily listening, but nice for driving or upbeat background vibes. Got bored of it about half way through. Not my thing, but nice production and vocal layering.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

Great album. Amazing looping grooves with strong Fela Kuti influences. Fun and highly-listenable songs. Easy to get into and hard to get bored of. Probably my favorite talking heads album. Perfectly weird - amazing production by Eno.

Garbage by Garbage

Better than I remembered. Definitely brought me back to being a kid and listening to this on my walkman. Ahead of its time. Some great tracks, but not something that I would revisit often.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

An obvious classic, but I ashamedly am not a fan of Dylan. I don't dislike him, but i've never found myself caught in a Dylan loop. Listening to this album now, I like it more than I remembered, but still not something i'd come back to.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

Not for me. Never been a fan.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Didnt go into this one with high expectations - i'm usually not a fan of folk albums. But this was a nice surprise. Beautiful melodies, thoughtful lyrics and storytelling.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

So good. I love individual songs, but I haven't taken the time to really listen to this whole album on repeat. Head bobbing track after track. Feels very New York in my 20s.

Abbey Road by Beatles

Literally perfect. As if aliens from the future passed down sacred knowledge to advance our appreciation for music.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys

Not my favorite beach boys album.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

This felt like a masterpiece when it came out. Still holds up. A true "album" not just a bunch of similarly styled songs. I remember walking around Stuytown in NYC with my first pair of "Beats by Dre" headphones, absolutely rocking the shit out of this album.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash

Not my cup of tea. Historically intereesting.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

Bright, shiney melodies. Beautiful harmonies. Amazing songwriting.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Great album. One of my favorite albums to sample. So many interesting grooves and drum breaks.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

Violator by Depeche Mode

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

In Rainbows by Radiohead

I love this album. I was a huge radiohead fan and when In Rainbows came out it didnt click with me in the same way as OK Computer, Kid A or even Moonshaped Pool, but over time its become one of my favorite Radiohead albums. Nude, All I Need and Jigsaw are highlights.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I remember it came out my senior year of high school and dominated by listening for years. I still go back to it frequently. way ahead of his time.
