1001 Albums Summary

With a powerful voice and soul-inspired sounds, this album felt like a blend between gospel and rock n' roll. However, I didn't find anything particularly striking. A lot of the songs started to blend together as I listened. The instrumentals were very similar, but I liked the energy Joplin brought to every song.

I'm glad this pointed me in the direction of Sly and the Family Stone. I enjoy their funky sound, but I much more prefer the sound of the successors they influenced, rather than them specifically. I greatly appreciate the talent they held and the diversity they preached, but I think their sound might be a bit too dated for me.

Bowie had such a distinct style in his music. He isn't exactly an amazing vocalist, but he took what he had and tore up with it. Particularly loved the performances on "Changes" and "Life on Mars."

Love Bob Dylan’s vibes and his raggedy ahh voice
