1001 Albums Summary

The Eagles are one of those bands that seem to get an insane amount of hate but I've always been mostly neutral about them. Hotel California is apparently one of the best selling albums of all time but I'm not sure I understand why? Aside from the two prominent singles of the title track and Life in the Fast Lane there's nothing really memorable here. Wasted Time is a bit of a nice ballad but then it just becomes more lazy and generic as the second side goes on.

Not my favorite Neil record but there's quite enough gems on here to make a enjoyable listen. The orchestral songs leave a lot to be desired though.

A fun and catchy pop rock album from someone who should've had a longer career. There's an undercurrent of sadness buried beneath the upbeat music and that really strikes a chord.

One of the greatest albums of all time, hip hop or otherwise. Flowing with genuine whimsy and heart and full of incredible sampling. The only negative is that its maybe 10 minutes too long.

Arguably the peak of Britpop, full of big, anthemic choruses and highly successful singles. It's not my favorite Oasis album but its for sure very good. However, the mastering is terrible. The whole "wall of sound" of it all really leaves a lot to be desired.
