1001 Albums Summary

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest

Nothing stood out to me lyrically or musically, not my cup of tea I guess.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Good album with some great songs, tough choice 3 or 4 out of 5. Good range of humor and pathetic self pity. Big fan of Marr's guitar.

tough choice between 4 and 5, some great songs on here and great album, but a couple of clunkers makes it a 4.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

Tommy by The Who

Abbey Road by Beatles

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul by Otis Redding

A couple of clunkers, but too many amazing songs for it not to be a 4.

1999 by Prince

Aja by Steely Dan

I didn't think I'd dislike this as I did, but something about their sound makes my skin crawl.

Manassas by Stephen Stills

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Highly Evolved by The Vines

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

New York Dolls by New York Dolls

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales

I liked the last song a bit, but the sound is very dated and doesn't hold the test of time.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys

The Bends by Radiohead

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Fred Neil by Fred Neil

Be by Common

I liked more than I usually like rap.

Green by R.E.M.

I listened to this album a lot when it came out and really liked, over time I guess my opinion of it has dipped a bit, but still a pretty decent album.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor

Hey it's got one really good song, the rest is a little too preachy and breathy for my taste.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen by Buzzcocks

Childish lyrics and every song sounding basically the same, and I'm generally not into punk, all adds to a 1 for me.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry

My ears still hurt.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes

couple of ok songs, but in general I don't like punk and apparently making it more folksy doesn't help.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple

I knew with the Yoko Ono/Chuck Berry screaming at the end of the first song that I'd be in for a rough ride. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I'll never listen to this again, therefore it's a 1.

The White Room by The KLF

World Clique by Deee-Lite

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

Sea Change by Beck

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted by Ice Cube

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Abraxas by Santana

Wanky guitar, wanky organs and even wanky bongoes. Not my thing.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

I used to like these guys somehow when I was younger. Now I find it horribly grating, plus maybe I'm not as angry.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain

The original shoegazers. Musically I found it pretty boring and lifeless.

Young Americans by David Bowie

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Me Against The World by 2Pac

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp

Triangle by The Beau Brummels

All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2

if the whole album were more like the second half (and the outtakes), it might be a 4 or 5, but the stadium pleasers knock it down a notch or two for me.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds

Pretenders by Pretenders

What might otherwise be a pedestrian album is made special with Chrissie Hyndes voice and style.

Chicago Transit Authority by Chicago

Medúlla by Björk

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
