1001 Albums Summary

This Is Hardcore by Pulp

Very cure coded, not sure how it took me so long to listen to this band

Aqualung by Jethro Tull

Way more than just the title track, the progressive and folk mix is awesome

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

More than just the singles, the opening track was fantastic. Couple songs could have been removed and it would have been a 5 star

Sea Change by Beck

Wanted to like it more than I did, just a pretty boring album. The instrumentals are great, maybe worth revisiting when I’m in a different listening space

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

An incredible songwriter, Desolation Row was just a perfect album closer

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Truly one of the best metal albums of all time

Pretenders by Pretenders

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo by Devo

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

Vespertine by Björk

Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Just a fantastic debut even if they did kind of join the machine they were raging against

Destroyer by KISS

Live Through This by Hole

Odelay by Beck

New Forms by Roni Size

Homework by Daft Punk

The start of the duo that changed electronic music. Not the powerhouse that discovery is but still an incredible electronic album

Electric by The Cult

As a big fan of 70s classic rock this one was kind of underwhelming. Plenty of significantly better albums from that decade

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

Good 90s rock album paved the way for some awesome later on Dave Grohl albums

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine by Cee Lo Green

Honestly better than expected, still a shitty dude

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

Great album, can’t believe I didn’t hear of this band until they got announced for riot fest

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel

A great example of the fact an album doesn’t need to be long to be great

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul by Otis Redding

Low by David Bowie

Just a great album and it’s crazy to have an album this good not even be in your top 5
