1001 Albums Summary

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

Interesting stuff - political points to a great, kind of hypnotic beat … clearly articulated ( you can actually make out what’s being said!)

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

R&B from 1963 … Nostalgic - knew a lot of the songs, and can still do the twist!!!

Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

Loved this - not familiar with MGMT previously. Reminded me of Arcade Fire …

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

Classic Bowie … no further comment needed …

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

Not for me … the music or the film…

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix

Hendrix always brilliant!

Basket of Light by Pentangle

Distinctive sound - evoking that folksy part of the late 1960s early 70s … loved it as I was around then, not sure how it will be received by younger folk!

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Amazing album

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett

Did not listen to all of it - knew it would be different, but less drawn in than I expected.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

Loved most of this album, though not the best reviews at the time

Dry by PJ Harvey

Was never a fan of PJ Harvey - Gave some of it a listen, ok - but still too chaotic for me, dare I say pretentious?!

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys

I get that this ‘post hardcore’ (had to look it up!) will by design sound ‘distorted’ - but this was not listenable for me!

Electric Warrior by T. Rex

Love this album

O.G. Original Gangster by Ice T

Not my genre but expect it is considered good album.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

All Radiohead gets my vote!

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

Really enjoyed some of the melodic tracks - like Heaven. Some too quirky for me - though imagine if watching live would enjoy, adding the visual aspect to this band!

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow

Trafalgar by Bee Gees

Sadly did not enjoy this from Bee Gees - think it was pre disco era - which at least was singalong! This was pretty dire…

The Doors by The Doors

The Doors - always good!

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

Utterly brilliant album

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis

Like Miles Davis …

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Tried - but too country for me …

Treasure by Cocteau Twins

Interesting - but not that enjoyable

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3

Better than I expected - but falling short of worthwhile listening!

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

Not a massive Coldplay fan .. but great album if course with some forever classic tracks on it…
