1001 Albums Summary

First time listener to fleet foxes. I think they could only have come from the USA with this sound. Layered guitars and layers vocals. When the keyboards came in, I was reminded of the keyboards in Peanuts/Charlie Brown. I mean this all in a positive way! I think the lyrics may be less uplifting than I’m feeling from the music on first listen.

Ok…in my wheelhouse…not a diner party went by late 90s without this super cool vibing duo. I do wonder if Tony Banks got some royalties for “la femme d’argent”…which could have been lifted off his keyboard on Genesis’s “The Lamb…” 😂

Actually bought “Human Behaviour” single when it came out (& I prefer the single remix to the album version). I do find a whole album of Bjork a hard listen.

Ending the 70s in style and setting the tone for the early 80s. If you were in the uk you could not avoid the singles! Funky post-punk pop.

If Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones had a vocal love child. Proof that people on drugs and not just boring to talk to but also to listen to… “Let’s hold the one note for 5 mins straight” I know I am supposed to think this is one of the greatest most important pieces of work ever. I just don’t get it. 🤷‍♂️

Ignoring the 1 octave vocal range, this is a great live album. Humour and some great uptempo music.

Worth listening to once all the way through…but you know the good stuff off this already. Pinball Wizard, and We're Not Gonna Take It being the standout tracks

The lineup tells you it’s going to be technically great - Eno, Fripp, Collins…and the stand out for me, Percy Jones on bass. Eno is never a straight forward listen but this is on the easier end of his work for me. Still wouldn’t play it out of these listening sessions though. Pleased that artists like him exist…like high end fashion, he goes first so that others may follow.

Perfectly pleasant but offering nothing new (even for 1993). Felt I'd heard it all before and I find the vocal quite weak.

Fantastic stuff…great sounding gig. 100% showman. Band are fantastic too.

This is good, “From Langley Park to Memphis” is great 😀
