1001 Albums Summary

Aja by Steely Dan

Interesting… definitely sounds like the 70s but I liked the funk

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

I’ve heard a few of these songs before growing up but wouldn’t be able to tell the artist or album. Fun, funky beats

Van Halen by Van Halen

Classic Van Halen… Some great songs on this album but I’m just not a huge fan of a lot of the guitar licks with the two hand tapping

Amnesiac by Radiohead

Hadn’t heard any of these songs before. None of them stuck out as being memorable or catchy or anything I’d like to listen to again.

Low by David Bowie

Weird… weird … weird!

School's Out by Alice Cooper

Interesting but not my preferred style of music

Roots by Sepultura

I could tolerate this more than the previous albums but I’m still not a fan of this sort of heavy metal with the singer just yelling at me angrily. lol

Brothers by The Black Keys

This was pleasant to listen to but mostly all the songs sounded too similar to me. I think it’s his voice combined with the style. Sounds all too similar to listen to for an hour. Nothing stuck out as anything Is want to listen to again and again.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

Dylan is great… not my favorite album by him here but this one still has some great tunes and great lines.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space by Spiritualized

xx by The xx

Heard the first song before, Intro. Was very familiar, maybe from a commercial. This album was pretty decent and chill. Listened to it in the car and it made for a nice car ride.

Dookie by Green Day

Kenya by Machito

This was so great. I just kept bopping to this on the beach today. Loved it!

More Songs About Buildings And Food by Talking Heads

I like the talking heads… obviously I’ve heard their hits before but i’ve never listened to one of their albums

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

Lyrics are horrifying to me!

With The Beatles by Beatles

Classic Beatles songs

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp

Decent rock

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour

Great beats and horns! His voice started to get on my nerves a bit but overall this was a fun listen in the car.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

Lots… LOTS of sampling of news clips, conversations, sayings, etc… kinda works but there’s too much of it for me. The beats were cool and I liked the more rock-ish approach to hip hop than other stuff I’ve heard.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

This was a fun listen while doing some chores around the house

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3

Not a bad listen. Never heard of them becore

C'est Chic by CHIC

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

The White Album by Beatles

Not the best Beatles album that I’ve listened to, but was still great and had a lot of fun songs on it. Some of them I’ve heard them more as covers than the original Beatles cut, so this was cool to hear too

You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim

Some catchy cool beats but it’s soooo repetitive… soooo repetitive

Parklife by Blur

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons

Want One by Rufus Wainwright

I found this pretty mediocre and bland for my taste

Play by Moby

I am not a fan at all of sampled music that has repetitive lyrics and just a cool beat behind it. Most all of these songs really hit on my nerves. However, South Side is so good it almost makes me a Moby fan. Almost but not quite

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple

I don’t get it. I’d heard of fiona apple before. I’ve never heard a single song on this album. Nothing… I’m not sure now if I e ever heard a single song by Fiona Apple. And, I didn’t like any of it. I just don’t think I get what she’s after.
