1001 Albums Summary

Good but as good as hunky dory

A true revolutionary album. Music that still sounds fresh it could have been recorded yesterday . Hendrix still towers above all other guitarists due to his unique playing style and the impact he had and still has.

An album of its time , when women in rock were few and far between. This was one of the albums you were supposed to like. I bought it in my 20s and hated it! But over the years it’s grown on me and have begun to understand Patti’s place in music. A woman doing her own thing who didn’t care if you like it or not

The band thought they were going to be dropped, so did the album they wanted to make. It became a huge success and marked the beginning of a 40 year run. It sounds rather dated now . The first side is a concept about an authoritarian government that bans music. Our hero finds a guitar and begins to play but is found out! The rest of the album is straight rock songs passage to Bangkok is the best . Over all worth hearing to see where Rush started but they did better albums later: moving pictures

Another album of its time. What sounded revolutionary in 1968 sounds rather twee now

Great debut album that contains a number of hit single, but in reality any track could have green a single.
