1001 Albums Summary

It's Stevie Wonder, of course whatever he presses onto plastic will be soulful and glorious and triumph over every other artist. Even in the darker moments of the album, the songs have that solar shimmer that Stevie has worked into a trademark sound. Favorite Song: You Haven't Done Nothin'

I came into this album only knowing "Tiny Dancer," but knowing that it's one of the greatest songs of all time. What I got in return is a batch of eight other songs that are all Tiny-Dancer-quality.

Very revolutionary, but a lot of the blues tracks start blending together like a cigarette fog. Favorite Song: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

On one hand, jazz can feel very samey and not have a lot to separate a particular record from the crowd of others. On the other hand, records like this on relisten give you those invigorating moments where the rhythm takes you. Favorite Song: Deception

This. This is what I want. A jazz record that gives you a spiritual experience just from listening. The kind of record to make you stop in your tracks and marvel at its beauty.

An album that brings you to a smoke filled city street where you can't see the person on the other side, but you think you're in love with them and all you have is your guitar and a pre-roll. It's very good. Favorite Song: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
