1001 Albums Summary

Justified by Justin Timberlake

God what the FUCK was this. It felt like a 63 minute parody. By the 3rd song I was having serious doubts about my commitment to this project.

Harvest by Neil Young

I can appreciate this but it's not especially my jam; gotta really be in the mood.

The Doors by The Doors

Solid album, so many great tracks. I'm not sure it's one I throw on too often, but I'm not mad if it's on.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

Really more of a 3.5 for me. If I never hear Jet again in my life it will be too soon. The first 2 tracks are just exhausted for me but the rest of the album is solid.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators by The 13th Floor Elevators

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo by MC Solaar

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

It’s not bad, just not really my jam.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman

3.5 for me really. Like, I appreciate this but I can't say I'd throw it on.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Solid entries I guess but not my go-to if I were needing this fix.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf

More like 3.5. Love me some rock opera but jesus they're all 1/3 longer than they need to be lol.

Revolver by Beatles

Duh.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre

Just not my thing.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Definitely slaps but the mood's gotta be right for sure

A Northern Soul by The Verve

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye

Found the whole album on YouTube (unfortunately lol). Great voice but man what a snooze. Hard pass.
