1001 Albums Summary

Great and underrated late 70s punk record. Has a broad appeal on the same way as The Clash. It’s not just for punk fans, it can appeal to fans of early alternative and post punk as well.

As perfect as perfect gets. Great for nights. The perfect album for just trying to chill out. This is THE Trip Hop album!

Good mid 70s rock record. I find Boston’s discography hit or miss overall, but this is a very fun debut rock record.

Great and essential Instrumental Hip Hop. Good for chilling out and getting lost in.

One of the essential all time albums. Amazing combination of Funk Rock, Psychedelic Rock, and Soul

Good vocal jazz. Great for date night! Immaculate voice.

The perfect Bowie album to introduce someone to Bowie.

A perfect and iconic album, and it’s not even their best!

Amazing. The perfect album for introducing someone to Art Pop!

This is the Public Enemy album to end all Public Enemy albums. Fun 80s style Hip Hop with pointed social commentary in the bars.

Bruce Springsteen’s reflections after 9/11. Unlike many other artists at the time, Bruce’s “9/11” music isn’t propaganda, it is simply a reflection and response of that time. Not Bruce’s best album, but still an essential.

The best of Johnny Cash live. You almost feel like one of the prisoners watching the show! Contains the best recording of Walk the Line.

I seem to only get great albums on here, and this is no different. One of the essential listens for all fans of Alternative Rock. Absolutely perfect!

A good debut for a great UK Reggae band. Some experimental moments on a very atmospheric album make for a fun listen for Raggae fans.

A very pretty album from to great Senegalese artists. The guitar playing is so intricate that you have to give it attention. Unlike anything I’ve heard before.
