1001 Albums Summary

Sound Affects by The Jam

OK Computer by Radiohead

Radiohead just doesn't do anything for me; slow, drawn-out, whiny.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

The crab is the best thing going for this album; it gets 5 stars. The album only gets 2. Techo just isn't my scene.

xx by The xx

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

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

Kick Out The Jams (Live) by MC5

Play by Moby

The Clash by The Clash

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos

There is no good reason why this should be a double album; too many songs, not enough substance.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

Funeral by Arcade Fire

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Actually by Pet Shop Boys

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian

Two or three songs in, I started wondering why I was voluntarily subjecting myself to this album. It’s absolutely not my taste, and the whole thing felt like an endurance test. Then The Boy Done Wrong Again came on, and at that point, the album wasn’t just exhausting, it was actively irritating. I think it actually made me mad.

Movies by Holger Czukay

Might be experimental and a little weird, but it’s forgettable.

Virgin Suicides by Air

Private Dancer by Tina Turner

I didn't like it when it was originally released, and it hasn't gotten better with age. Tina is great, but the music makes my ears bleed. Rounding up out of respect for the Queen.

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

There is a lot to like about this album, but it does get tiresome trying to listen straight through, so dropped a star.

Medieval prog rock is apparently an acquired taste; it's not really for me, but did like portions of it.

"I like Witchy Woman... You know, Witchy Woman. Oh, witchay woman" - Elaine Benes

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan

The Rise & Fall by Madness

Interesting choice. It's the polished, watered-down version of Madness (3/5). One Step Beyond.... is a better choice, a solid 4/5, maybe 5/5.

Blunderbuss by Jack White

Junkyard by The Birthday Party

The La's by The La's

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

Black Metal by Venom

The music isn't that awful, but the bullshit shock rock satanism is just stupid. Takes me back to middle school with the wanna be headbangers walking around acting hard by drawing penatgrams on their books.
