1001 Albums Summary

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

One of the classics for a reason

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

It was nice to hear Queen before they became so theatrical.

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

Illmatic by Nas

1984 by Van Halen

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies

Fragile by Yes

The Stooges by The Stooges

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

I usually enjoy, or at least don't mind, noisy alt rock. But, surprisingly I didn't really care for this too much, it feels noisy without purpose. The hits are expectedly still good.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle by Throbbing Gristle

I've listened to and appreciated many types of noisy music before, and at least been able to understand why it sounds the way it does. Not for this album though, "noise" in music usually still feels like it has a purpose, so this album feels less like a careful construction of noise and more like a random collection of sounds.
