1001 Albums Summary

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line

Enjoyed it on first listen but I think it'll take more to really get into it. It got a little long by the end.

Raw Power by The Stooges

Really rough mix can be hard to listen to especially Search and Destroy. Cool proto-punk album. Favourite is I Need Somebody.

L.A. Woman by The Doors

My favourite Doors album and amazing front to back. Favourite track Riders on the Storm.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

YAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Classic heavy metal album. Although Iron Maiden is usually not my jam, there are some killer tracks on this. Favourite is Hallowed be thy Name.

Green by R.E.M.

Good album that's well produced but I've never been s huge fan of their sound.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Great album that I've listen to quite a bit before. Favourite is Easy Money.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest

Great old school hip-hop album that I've listened to often. I really enjoy the fusion of jazz into the mix.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

Good band but I don't really like live albums. I'd rather discover them through studio albums.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

I like classic rock from the 70s but this is too disco for me because of the orchestration and background vocals.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson

Cool concept that I can't help but think inspired Delirium Cordia by Fantomas. It's probably not something that I'd go back to but it was definitely interesting.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren

Very interesting listen that I grew to like more and more as it played through. It's a bit too hippie for me to listen to often but I did enjoy it and will dig through more for Todd's discography.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds

Great listen!

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan

Familiar with this one and like it.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

How can one not love this record?

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan

Not a fan of country

Myths Of The Near Future by Klaxons

Really enjoyed this one. I need to dig deeper into their discography.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

Very familiar with this one. Great!

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

No single individual should have this much talent. Seems ridiculously unfair. Favourite Higher Ground.

Debut by Björk

I found Bjork very interesting but the record is definitely a bit dated and I don't think the 90s sounds have aged all that well.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

I had only ever heard Legend and his hits before. A few of the songs on that compilation are found on here. Listening to this album was a good opportunity to explore his music a bit more. I really enjoyed discovering the songs I had not heard before.

OK by Talvin Singh

Interesting atmospheric album but not something I'd put on often.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans

Good Britpop album from the 90s in the same vein as Oasis. Nothing in there breaks that mold though.

The White Album by Beatles

It's very good but not my favourite Beatles album. Favourite track is Blackbird
