1001 Albums Summary

I really enjoyed listening to the 2013 remaster with lossless audio. Definitely a better experience than the radio version. It's a solid album, and I understand why it's here. Gets a little lyrically repetitive but I feel like that's a reggae thing?

Quiet horses is clearly very repetitive lyrically, but with all the vocalizing and different pronunciations, and styles to the same words gives a variation you wouldn't ever expect from reading the lyrics. The fact this is a number one charting right out the gate is impressive. Love the minimalist percussion and simple yet full music that results. Blue ridge mountains is probably my favorite track. It transports me back to the lonely little campground in Tennesse.

Rambling and sloppy doesn't do it justice. Parts of this were hard to listen to. I understand why this is here and it's impact on music. I like some of their hits but nothing on this album makes me want to party or dance. Seems like the schlitz of rock n roll. Like I didn't drink schlitz riding around in a pickup truck, but I'm sure my dad did and I'd bet this album was in the tape deck.

There's several tracks on here that I love, but I much prefer other versions of than this album. The quality is muddy and buzzy and it's not as fun as it used to be.

The last two albums being Jimi Hendrix proceeded by the rolling stones, really puts this album in perfect lighting. It's like starting a gnarly greyed rock rolling at the top of a hill and finding a perfectly polished gemstone at the bottom. Taking a new music genre and polishing it to perfection is what the eagles did with their run, and it all lead up to Hotel California. I can hear my dad drumming along on the steering wheel and softly singing when this album cuts on. They put in the work to get here and earned the accolades. Classic rock at its absolute best.

This is a great little folk rock album out of the 60s that could've just as easily nestled right into the folk revival of the 2010s. Something about her German accent really makes my ears happy. Steeped in the cultural zitgiest of the 60s, this is a keeper for sure.

No notes. Live recording at its perfection. Transports me to a time and place I've never been. Amazing.

I'm contractually obligated to give this album 5 stars. 2 years after this album, and one year after stonewall they drop a trans anthem. The big sky is amazing. Much more tight and less buzzy than other rock albums of the time, all while maintaining a rambling and psychedelic vibe. Totally radical dude.

I don't know how... But I'm certain my dad shagged to this album, that weirdo. This is great and fun and so 80s. Hollow hills is exceptionally 90s for 1980. Could've been a cover on nevermind, as is, and would fit right in.
