My 1001 Albums Journey

Dire Straits

4/5

Groovy guitars. I feel like to truly appreciate this you need to be driving a convertible on Route 66. Enjoyed it more with a few listens, much groovier and less cheesy than Brothers in Arms

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

First listen and it wasn’t super special. But listen 3 I was boppin’ and groovin’.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Not as interesting as later Talking Heads but a good start. Basically every song that’s on Stop Making Sense is better on Stop Making Sense. Ditto for American Utopia

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

The famous iconic songs are indeed famous and iconic. There are some other great tracks here too. There’s also some very ugly misogyny. I could happily go without ever listening to ‘If I ain’t tha 1’ again.
