1001 Albums Summary

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

One of those albums that is no doubt culturally significant, and the melodies are good. But it sounds like lift music to the modern ear. ‘I hate the musics’ - Nina ‘I don’t hate it’ - Jude

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Normally I prescribe to ‘it’s not who had it first, it’s who had it best’ but the songs are really good here too.
