1001 Albums Summary

It has that '80s rock feel, yet it's not hard to listen to and sounds familiar to the ear. Even within the same album, it features tracks with distinct atmospheres.

Recently, I saw a news article about a famous album cover from years ago featuring a photo of a baby swimming completely naked. The person depicted as a child in the photo, now an adult, sued the album's creators for child pornography. This album was precisely the one at the center of that controversy.

The wiki described them as a pioneering group in fusion music blending rap and rock. I really liked all the beats too, and it made me want to listen to their records.

Queen may be one of the most famous bands, but my memories of youth at a bar owned by a woman named New York 44th Street are simply too vivid, and they seem to intersect with my first encounter with Queen.

According to Wikipedia, they are a rock band from Birmingham, England. One of the famous groups active since the 1960s, they were also considered pioneers of heavy metal and doom metal. They reportedly ceased activities in 2017, bringing their over 50-year history to a close after their final concert in 2025. I found their lyrics easy to understand and their music passionate yet lively.

As a longtime reggae fan, this album is more than enough for me—nothing more to say, but it's simply the best.

Some of the songs were famous ones I knew well. They must be among the world's most historic masterpieces, but perhaps because I heard them during an indifferent phase, I didn't know the singers. I'm glad I encountered them now.

The songs “Meat Is Murder,” said to have played a part in popularizing vegetarianism, and “The Headmaster Ritual,” featuring a delinquent's perspective rebelling against teachers, are apparently famous. Having listened to them myself, I liked those two songs the most.
