1001 Albums Summary

These guys commercialized folk music while wearing those outfits, so that’s something. I had to learn a dance to Cecelia at summer camp and unfortunately that song has lived deep in my subconscious ever since. I think it’s worth reconsidering the proposition that sparrow > snail - I have a pet snail and he’s pretty cool.

This was great, no notes Neil

The definitive RHCP album from the funk era. Nostalgia album for me

This was a big album when I was in college. It’s beautiful and complex from an artistic standpoint, but I feel like she really excels more in live shows. I like the Saul Williams track and War of the Roses. I saw her play Eastside Drive-In ca 2010. Of Montreal opened for her, if that gives an idea of how progressive her music was at the time. We were there to see if Kevin Barnes would ride a live horse naked on stage. Her live show was incredible and I was blown away by it. She also did a great Austin City Limits taping.

Chrissie Hynde is such an icon and had an interesting life during this time period. I liked this album but it felt a little long and somewhat dated listening with fresh ears today.

Is this album Stills going?

I love this album and think it’s their best. You can see the range of this band and how they were influenced by a variety of progressive genres. This album inspired so many bands that I love and I understand why.

This was fine but not very memorable

This was a cool album, I enjoyed the vibes

“Breaking the Law” really resonated with Jack

I only made it halfway through, but to be fair it was a LONG album. I generally liked the sound but the songs felt repetitive after a while.

Some of these songs feel very overplayed now, but it was fun to revisit this album. I haven’t listened to the whole album in a long time and there are some great songs on here.

This album really took me back to a certain time and was a fun re-listen. This was a pretty innovative mix of pop and R&B for mainstream music at the time of release. I love when this album makes an appearance in the movie LadyBird.

I enjoyed this, I thought it was progressive and Brilliant Corners was a strong way to start the album. I particularly liked Bue-La. But I don’t think his best songs are on this album so I thought this was kind of an odd pick for the album list

Not my thing

The sound track to every ski town in the 90s. Some of the songs are good, some are bad. I wouldn’t want to listen to this often but it was fun for a little while

Great album - I enjoyed revisiting it. I love Julian Casablancas voice and the guitar work on this album is good. This album made a huge impression on me when I was younger and I remember having a physical copy of this cd in the glove box of my first car

Great album - I enjoyed relistening. It was interesting to learn that he lived in the apartment above Jackson Browne
