1001 Albums Summary

personal jesus and enjoy the silence

but the picture has a moustache but the rainbow has a beard better than i expected but also exactly what i expected! tales of brave ulysses is the highlight. high 3? (wrote a note to myself to give it a 4 but i was tipsy)

good background music for jenga

no doubts that this one is a 10/10, from the guitar wails to the fart sounds it’s a masterpiece thru and thru 🙏🏽 🐛 🧠

listened during parkrun, probs only heard half :/

for the love of louisiana

life stinks, humor me

absolutely delightful

love her madly, l.a. woman, riders on the storm all duh, rest meh

3 decent songs exactly evenly distributed across 9 tracks so you have to keep listening to the end if you want to hear that one song. the one etched in my brain because of a coke commercial from when i was kid. some sources say the song was even inspired by coca cola - beautiful symmetry. "Allegedly, the store didn’t have any Cherry Coke at the time, and Hutmaker, standing behind Jagger in the queue, said, “Well, you can’t always get what you want”." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB9o2X7Yjyk&t=20s https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-rolling-stones-you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-mean/ while looking that up, i also found a motorolla ad from 1998 and a levi's one from 1990. easy to imagine that the list goes on. hard to imagine that they didn't foresee these fat paychecks coming from that platitudinous chorus. a business more than a band. why we needed a bunch of white english boys making blues music i'll never know, and after 60 something years i think the answer is still we never did. highlights: monkey man ("I'm a cold Italian pizza I could use a lemon squeezer"), let it bleed ("Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on Yeah, and if you want to, well, you can cream on me"). i guess they were going to the beach that day.

very long songs but the drama level (usually) keeps it interesting "i'm just as sane as anyone" highlights: school dreamer hide in your shell if everyone was listening (clarinet bit)

songs got longer as it went on :/ did not hate, did not like highlights: misbeaten young livers on a rope

first one i've listened to on vinyl. an all-time favorite, no notes. rip syd

pretty good, couple of big hits and i really liked the one towards the end called madness

wishing well, dance little sister, as yet untitled, who's loving you thought i would like this more, at least it finished strong

not gonna listen to this actually then i did with robbie and tbh it was pretty good

points off for the misogyny and homophobia sadly

practically a 10/5

haven't we had this one before..?? atomic punk low point

enjoyed this, but it didn't really do it for me

enjoyed, probably would've enjoyed a lot more in 1979

Really enjoyed, what a lovely man. Great transitions between songs, seems like it was an excellent show. Started out so-so but then 'Cupid' is a huge banger, and I pretty much loved every song after that too. Def gonna be listening to some more Sam Cooke <3

listened to half, maybe it's good i dont know

it's fun and weird but i don't think i really feel a spark... reviewing albums like answering the question 'do you want to see each other again?' on first dates.

maybe top 5 of all time
