1001 Albums Summary

I knew absolutely nothing about this prior to listening. It's good. Really good in places. A mix of studio and live tracks. The production is decent and I was reminded of early Bowie quite often.

Ah yes. Steely Dan's Aja. A legendary album among audiophiles and well-deserved. Even to this day, it's a reference recording for audio system demos and evaluations. The production is nothing short of landmark. This album is just a joy to sit with, especially on a good, revealing system where you can really "see" the soundstage.

At first, I did not like the album at all. But it grew on me. Once I got past the belief that I "didn't like Willie Nelson" it actually became quite nice. He has a good voice. There were a couple of songs on the album that I didn't think quite worked for him but the rest were pretty good.

It's an experimental jazz/jam album. Not for me, personally. That said, I have tremendous respect for Frank Zappa. He's been a huge influence on musicians for decades.

World music? Kinda jazz? Seemed like a good recording. Just not my thing.

An older album with some of their classic songs.

I liked this one more than I expected. Kinda bluesy.

It's acid rock and never much did much for me.

Lots of acoustics. Vietnam, civil rights. Probably their first really excellent album.
