1001 Albums Summary

Suede by Suede

A classic from my party days, an interesting blend of glam, punk, and art rock, some similarities with 70’s Bowie, one of the best debuts albums of the 90’s

Abraxas by Santana

Abraxas may be a very commercial album, but this isn't "Supernatural". This is Santana magically mixing accessibility, dance-like qualities, innovation, complexity, virtuosity, and emotion into a latin-rock masterpiece. The first song is an improvisational latin-jazz fusion track with scarce but brilliant guitar notes over a groovy latin rhythm. "Incident at Neshabur", "Mother's Daughter", and "Hope You're Feeling better" are outstanding classic rock songs with unforgettable hooks and main riffs.. "Se a Cabo" and "Samba Pa Ti" are great instrumentals; a fast-paced rhythmic tune and a romantic and emotional one respectively. "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" are the great hits. Black Magic Woman starts generally soft with great melodies and arrangements and ends in a louder and more energetic jam. "Oye Como Va" is driven by a Hammond organ riff and is insanely catchy and danceable. It has to be a great song to become a monstrous hit even though it is sang in a foreign language. It is regarded as a classic in the music of its kind.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren

Not completely in my music taste but a great example of singles that were great on regular records, sounds a lot like tapestry (obviously) but lacks depth, to long and in some moments a lot of music just filling gaps with no sense

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel

Paul Simon at a creative peak, really love this album since day 1, Folk, Rock, some southern and the inimitable pairing voices

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Great collection of songs and as always a lesson for guitar artistry from one of the masters playing live in peak form

The Last Broadcast by Doves

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey

Odelay by Beck

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

Great first record, loved Slash sound when it came out, not really a fan of axl’s voice, good singles compilation but lacks a lot of depth (even for the hair metal era)
