1001 Albums Summary

Sea Change by Beck

Beatles-inspired soft rock. Sunday Sun and Little One are some standout tracks.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

Experimental and telling of the genre. A tad repetitive, but Hurt really throws the whole album into relief in a fascinating way.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds

Fun jam songs, nothing special but a solid listen.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

A kickass, anti-war, anti-capitalist, early Brit-rock ride. If the Beatles had a good drummer and were as politically subtle as a hammer to the face, it’d be this.

The Lexicon Of Love by ABC

80’s pop romance album. Pretty great, honestly.

Abraxas by Santana

Santana. Enough said.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

A masterpiece of 2000’s indie pop. Gorgeous album.
