1001 Albums Summary

Awesome! When I was just out of high school my friends dad would talk about swinging to Count Basie. At that time we only listened to classic rock, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Pink Floyd… We poo-pooed my friends dad about his old music. To use that days vernacular, what dicks we were.

Loved this. Parts sound like a reggae ska mix with the eccentricity of Steely Dan. Heavy bass and drums. Love his voice. Unique all around style.

I remember when this was released. Nothing like the sound. Stellar guitars and vocals.

Underrated band. This live collection sounds great.

Excellent debut album. Didn’t appreciate the style when I was young

Can appreciate it as art and admire the perfect diction but I can’t bring myself to like hip hop or rap

Grew up listening to 70s and 80s rock. This music has less talent. The songs are too long for the type of music. I do like her voice, very versatile

Classic. I read David Crosby’s autobiography. The deal was whoever was in the band at the time is in the title of the band on the album as equal billing.

Love 70 funky jam

Unique

Loved it. I never gave thought to music happenings in other countries than the UK and USA.

Cool

The only thing that makes this better than rap is the lack of lyrics

Read his autobiography.

Great voice

She has me at Delilah was a floozy…

Love me some ska

Not my thing but I liked it

Loved it. I wish I were in a cafe in Europe in the 60s listening

Reminds me of Yoko Ono ( not a compliment). Perhaps that was the sound for the time and it got pressed on vinyl. I do admire Simone who followed a dream to make music.

Classic part of New Wave. Fun times in music

Old school jam

I listened, but I don’t listen to this genre at all.

Saw them with The Who at the LA Coliseum in ‘82. Joe Strummer worked very hard to make it in the business.

Helped me recover from Run/DMC

Nice

McDonald’s of rock. Did not listen.

4 minutes in and I had a headache

Love their sound

Loved it

She’s got soul

Loved to voice and the humor
