1001 Albums Summary

Transformer by Lou Reed

I've heard many Lou Reed songs, but have never taken on an album from front to back. Honestly was a bit repetitive.

Imagine by John Lennon

Another album from a titan of music. Another album that I found myself underwhelmed by

Abbey Road by Beatles

A true classic. Hit, after hit, after hit. A perfect example of what pop rock is. The finale suite is so magical.

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Zzzzzzz... California...zzz..Blue.....zzzzzzzzzz..The River!!...Zzzzzz

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

While never an all-time favorite of mine, this is a go-to party album for me. I love the ride and take it whenever I can.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

A 70s rock classic. Only one song is not instantly recognizable and even that song is still good.

Rubber Soul by Beatles

"He's a real nowhere man Sitting in his nowhere land Making all his nowhere plans for nobody" The rise to true pop greatness truly begins here.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash

Part concept album, part live album and all Johnny Cash

Be by Common

Peak early aughts consciousness/storytelling rap

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

Give me Axis or Experienced any day of the week over this.

Goo by Sonic Youth

I was enjoying this for the first few songs and then I kind of lost interest until the last song.

Quiet Life by Japan

This album is why I'm going through this list. A surprise and quite enjoyable.

Xmas classic

Flawless.

Arular by M.I.A.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Whatever your feelings are in Clapton, there are two things that are hard to deny about this album. 1. It was incredibly influential 2. It's white boys singing about little girls and picking cotton...so it sucks
