1001 Albums Summary

London Calling by The Clash

Starting with an absolute favourite of mine is such a pleasure. No skips on this one.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Couple of classics on there, obviously Into My Arms is a monster track on there. Good stuff, never felt like skipping any tracks, at the same time I feel there's Cave songs I like more. So three stars.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

Maybe three songs that could've been left out, other than that an impeccable album.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen

The two tracks with female first names are absolute musical icons. Fun album.

Eliminator by ZZ Top

Does this one really rank?

xx by The xx

Not bad, never felt like turning it off but at the same time none of the tracks really stuck.

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Bossanova by Pixies

Velouria, Is She Weird, Dig for Fire rest is ok but not spectacular like the rest of their albums.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space by Spiritualized

This is gonna be a two. Never felt like it was a chore to listen to it, but also nothing really stood out.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations

Group Sex by Circle Jerks

Seminal punk record. A straight five, will listen at least twice today.

Crazysexycool by TLC

Thought it was going to be a chore to listen to the whole thing, that was actually ok. So a 2.

Shadowland by k.d. lang

It's ok, she's the female Chris Isaak. Black Coffee really good. This is a 3 all day.

Hotel California by Eagles

Obvious worldie to start. Quite like Life in the fast lane's blues rocky feel. Also dig Victim of Love.

Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

Couple of really great tracks on this

First artist I had never listened to (I think) and I really liked the album. Her voice sometimes reminiscent of Dido. Can't really understand how this one stayed of my radar for so long.
