1001 Albums Summary

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Not my favorite musical genre, but this transcends style with its substance. An amazing album that is hard to believe was a soundtrack. Already knew it was legendary and culturally significant but it just plain sounds good and hits me right in my sociology bones. Good stuff.

Revolver by Beatles

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Just not something I can comfortably listen to. Too slow and melancholy. Songs don’t vary much.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Nothing really stood out to me and not my favorite genre.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

Haunting, beautiful and sad but somehow manages to make you feel good while you listen. Could listen to this on my headphones every night.

Moon Safari by Air

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

Surprised that I liked this as much as I did.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

Beautiful voice, liked the album but not enough for me to love it.
