1001 Albums Summary

Bone Machine by Tom Waits

Interesting album about death. Wonder if Pj Harvey heard this before making To Bring You My Love? Worth a listen, but probably won’t revisit often.

The College Dropout by Kanye West

Nope. No way. Will NOT listen to this man.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Nice laidback, weekend morning/afternoon listening.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Ok. Not really for me but had its moments.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Amazing.

In Rainbows by Radiohead

My favorite Radiohead album. Easy to get, but deep if you dive in.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

It's probably been over 20 years since I listened to this. This should be interesting. Good, slow, moody.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned by Liars

Very interesting. Some cool rhythmic ambience mixed with some wild songs. Don’t think I got it all with one listen. Will have to revisit.

The Joshua Tree by U2

Revisiting a classic.

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

College classic album. Listened to many times back in the day.

Green by R.E.M.

College classic album. Listened to many times back in the day. Two REM albums in a row. Cool.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

Some great singles from the MTV era.

Celebrity Skin by Hole

Would usually go to Live Through This when listening to Hole, but this album deserves more attention. Very good!

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Very good

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Classic

Machine Head by Deep Purple

Classic sound. Fun. Will have to revisit.

Tidal by Fiona Apple

Great debut. She has only improved since this, but this is her assessable and a good introduction.

Funeral by Arcade Fire

Pleasant and empty

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

70s metal about cocane use. Not my bag.

War by U2

Another U2? It’s okay
