1001 Albums Summary

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

Urban Hymns by The Verve

Solid mid-to-late 90s Brit rock sound. Reminds me of Oasis and (deeper cut) Kula Shaker, and the "bigness" of the best U2. I can see the path from something like Stone Roses to this album. Overall, cool vibes, lots of raw emotion and feelings of going nowhere and listlessness, but with a underlying feeling of hope as well, knowing it'll be ok even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment. "Bittersweet Symphony" is a masterpiece (song and video) Loving the vibe of "The Rolling People" "Velvet Morning" and "Lucky Man" "The Drugs Don't Work" is a heartbreaking realization that a relationship is over, and you can't escape the feelings any longer. Really great song of grief and personal loss. I'm thinking of Indy right now listening to this and getting emotional.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters

Live At Leeds by The Who

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

The harmonies are unreal. Great psychedelic tinged folk rock. Standouts beside the hits are "Somebody Groovy" and "You Baby"

american dream by LCD Soundsystem

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino

Pain in the ass to find, had to build a playlist.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye

There's some great songs, and the story is interesting, but it's kind of a weird listen

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

Let's Stay Together by Al Green

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno

There's some absolute bangers on here but a lot is a little too experimental

Blue by Joni Mitchell

GREY Area by Little Simz

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

I'm going to rate it 4 stars because it's Ella Fitzgerald and I know some of these songs but it's over 3 hours long 😅

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads

The Predator by Ice Cube

Machine Head by Deep Purple

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

One Nation Under A Groove by Funkadelic

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega

System Of A Down by System Of A Down

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I love the vibraphone-esque tones on Soft Shock This album reminds me that there is a ton of great stuff out there that doesn't really make its way into the public listening sphere. Going into it I thought "this will be an easy 4 star" but it is better than I thought. The build and flow of the songs are masterful

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Pelican West by Haircut 100

Incredible instrumentation and tight funk and ska songs. The production and interestingly the stereo mix of the songs (their left/right mix) is really good, one song has a car go from one ear to the next, lots of sounds on one side or the other to sound very immersive. They really shine on those parts, like "King size (You're my little steam whistle)", "Baked Beans" and "Lemon Firebrigade". I actually like their biggest song "Love Plus One " the least. I think "Calling Captain Autumn" is my favorite I would totally play "Favorite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)(12" Version)" in a new wave set Got some Joe Jackson vibes, particularly in the singing

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

Shleep by Robert Wyatt

"Free Will and Testament" "Alien" "Blues in Bob Minor" Floaty weird Indy rock. Reminds me of neutral milk hotel

Pearl by Janis Joplin

The Cars by The Cars

Trafalgar by Bee Gees

Pre-disco Bee Gees. Some ok moments but mostly forgettable. "How can you mend a broken heart" "somebody stop the music" "Trafalgar" is like a lost Beatles track

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams

Ambient 1/Music For Airports by Brian Eno

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Dirty by Sonic Youth

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

The heights are really good, like Prince, but there's a bunch of short bits or joke songs that kind of mess up the flow for me "Sweet Life" and "Pilot Jones" "Crack Rock" uses the drum beat from Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" "Pyramids" is awesome
