1001 Albums Summary

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

Great record that touches on all core points of funk. Love the 16 minute jam part

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Not a massive fan of the Stones, but this was probably considered quite left field at the time

Tommy by The Who

Never listened to this because I hate Pinball Wizard, but it was a cool record, and when PW dropped in it was actually exciting to hear, the same way when No One Knows starts during Songs for the Deaf

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd) by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

I hated this band when they first came out but going back and visiting many of these 2000s indie records is a great experience

Let It Be by The Replacements

This was such a fun listen, it sounded like a cross between Oasis and Nirvana in some places, then The Smiths and Chuck Berry in others

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Was ok, never really got into Deep Purple or any of the heavy rock stuff, it has been copied so many times that I can't listen to it objectively, I think of a million shit bands playing Desertfest
