1001 Albums Summary

Frank by Amy Winehouse

"Stronger Than Me", especially with the video, sure resonated with me about both of my relationships.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

Listened while sitting in first class on my flight home from Thanksgiving, and it was the perfect album for that.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

A little underwhelming. It makes me want to check out their other work, because the funky stuff sounds more up my alley than the more R&B stuff

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

Obviously a hugely important moment in hip hop history, but not my jam. Listened while driving home from work

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I expected to like it more than I did. Raw and emotional. I felt like I was missing some context. Who is Henry? Who is Joe?

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

Listened both while driving to work and chilling at home. Found it better at home, not engaging enough for driving. I don’t fully “get” jazz but it was cool.

Violator by Depeche Mode

The first album for me that I was even vaguely aware of beforehand. Some classic numbers. Listened while reading Dungeon Crawler Carl book 6, and it was surprisingly well suited.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield

Very conceptual

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

Kind of boring. I can see how it was once pretty progressive but by modern standards seems tame

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Vibes. Listened on train to airport and perfect for looking out the window feeling wistful

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

Father and Son will always make me cry

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

I loved the joy in Play in the Sunshine and Starfish and Coffee

So Much For The City by The Thrills

Kind of boring

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis

Idk, it’s Genesis

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr

Trafalgar by Bee Gees

Very ballad-y. Maybe I would have liked it better if I was not listening at the gym

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Some classics

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

Will have to return and listen more. Listened on the flight to Chicago

Dust by Screaming Trees

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Harvest by Neil Young

Second Toughest In The Infants by Underworld

Liked it better than I expected. A bit Cyberpunk. Great for reading DCC

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

25 by Adele

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

Interesting to hear their early work and see how much their sound matured over time. Listened while driving to teach at Olene Walker
