1001 Albums Summary

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

I always tell people I am not a big fan of the Boss, but then I hear Prove It All Night and Promised Land and forget that I ever said that. This album is some good Bruce, none of that Born in the USA crap.

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

Perfect album, perfect time capsule of 1994.

Hot Fuss by The Killers

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Seasons of Change is a classic from the late 60s; the rest of the album is not as great or doesn't translate to someone born in 1971.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
