1001 Albums Summary

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

I appreciate the talent of the Talking Heads but I can't get into their choppy vocal style.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

I got two Talking Heads in a row - not my favorite band by any stretch, but I found this album more enjoyable than Remain in Light.

Parachutes by Coldplay

Yellow was a welcome listen on an otherwise kind of bland album.

25 by Adele

Lots of good hits on this one!

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

So I liked this better than Parachutes, but it felt really bland.

Superunknown by Soundgarden

This was great.

Blue by Joni Mitchell

I love her voice but her songs don't always get me

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Back In Black by AC/DC

Morrison Hotel by The Doors

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

This is a great album and so nostalgic.

The Visitors by ABBA

This album wasn't what I expected. Sure, it was ABBA but it had a lot more depth than some of the early bubble gum sound.

Street Signs by Ozomatli

Albums like this are exactly the reason why I'm doing the 1001 albums project. I've never heard of this group and it was a great listen!

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Murmur by R.E.M.

Purple Rain by Prince

I appreciate Prince's talent and several of these songs are very nostalgic to me. However, as hard as I've tried over the years, I just don't like it.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys

This was a huge surprise. Based on the description, I kept putting off the listen as this isn't my kind of music. Or so I thought - I could hear so many bands that I love in this one group. It was punky and fun.

Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

This album is a masterpiece from start to finish.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear

I had a hard time getting into this album. I will revisit it and see if it was just a busy week, but everything sounded the same.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

I guess I've never listened to Arcade Fire and this was fire. Twice in a row listen which rarely happens.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

Pornography by The Cure

Abbey Road by Beatles

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

The music was catchy and enjoyable but the history behind this album was not.
