1001 Albums Summary

Moby Grape by Moby Grape

Interesting sound for 1967.

The White Album by Beatles

A showcase album for each member of the band. Helter Skelter was way ahead of it's time.

You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim

Few undeniable classics on here but gets boring after a while.

Bossanova by Pixies

Interesting sound but gets a bit grating after a few songs. Doolittle is much better.

The Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks

One interesting song followed by many mundane songs. There are far better Kinks albums.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Seminal album, created a genre of music. Epic crescendos and powerful vocals. One of the best albums of all time.

Hot Fuss by The Killers

First half of this album is great. Very nostalgic listening for people of a certain age. Second half of the album is mediocre but still listenable.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Not entirely unlistenable, but I won't listen again. This album is obscure for a reason and I don't think it belongs on this list. A couple of songs are enjoyable, but not memorable. Most are avant garde pretentious nonsense.

Bummed by Happy Mondays

Heroes by David Bowie

Decent album but nowhere near Bowie's best. Of course most people will know the title track. Once you get to the B-side it becomes pretentious Brian Eno garbage.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin

Close To You by Carpenters

Some good tunes on here but quite slow and boring at times. Great voice though.

Palo Congo by Sabu

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Enjoyable album but really only one song on here that is unique enough to warrant a second listen, that song being Time of the Season.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

Great album but not their best.
