1001 Albums Summary

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Remains one of my favorite no-skip albums.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf

I understand the rock opera nature of it, but it isn't really something I'd want to regularly listen to.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

The interludes are pretty corny, but overall the album holds up really well.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon

It's fine. I like some of the more jazzy vibes to it.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

I mean it’s so good. Especially, In the Ghetto and Suspicious Minds.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio

I loved their early albums. At first I wasn’t thrilled on this one but it grew on me.

John Prine by John Prine

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

Hadn't listened to Arcade Fire in some time, and mostly hadn't listened to this album before. The church organ usage is pretty rad. I re-listened and have Intervention pegged as my favorite.

The Bones Of What You Believe by CHVRCHES

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

Not my vibe. But see how others could enjoy. Plus the guy from Jungle Book!?

Music From Big Pink by The Band

I enjoy it, specifically the hits.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

Funky.

Bad by Michael Jackson

Can’t separate the art from the artist.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by The Byrds

Oh man, I didn't enjoy this. I was hopeful.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs

Nah. Do not want. Just can't get into New Wave. But I gave it a go.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

It's fine. I like older country, but don't get excited by this album.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus

I’d never listened to him before and really enjoyed this album.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell

Smooooooooth

Headquarters by The Monkees

Dollar Store Beatles.

On The Beach by Neil Young

It was alright. Not my favorite of his albums, but fine.

Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen

I don't much like punk, but wasn't mad at listening to this.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

I’m pretty meh on this.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

I recognize the impact the BB had on hip hop, and I love Hello Nasty, but could never get into this fratty album.

Parklife by Blur

This is just what my morning needed.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

This was the first jazz album I ever listened to. It’s been with me while studying in college, focused at work, entertaining at home, and even just some escapism. I love this album and was happy for it to come across my feed.

Before And After Science by Brian Eno

It was ok.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Every time I put on a Tom Petty album, I'm reminded just how much I enjoy listening to him. This isn't my favorite of his, but still a wonderful listen.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports by Brian Eno

Brian Eno twice in three days is a choice. I get the importance of this, but this is just a straight up background noise album.

American Idiot by Green Day

Ok. This one caught me off guard. I wasn’t looking forward to the listen, but came away with a new appreciation. The political observations are wonderful.

Mott by Mott The Hoople

I would have been ok not knowing about TEMU Bowie

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright

So whiny.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles

This will do just fine.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit

You can’t be serious with this one.

Noise.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles

Aja by Steely Dan

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

I Against I by Bad Brains

I recognize that many may find this as an essential album, but it wasn’t something that I enjoyed. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, just not my choice.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

I didn't think that was ever going to end. Holy crap.

Hot Fuss by The Killers

I'm sure it's not as great as I think it is, but for all the sentimental reasons, this hits so hard.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

Whoa, had never head this album. Gives me Tracy Chapman vibes.

Oddly, never listened to this Wilco album. Not running back to give it another immediate listen. I have to remind myself of when it came out and not get hung up that it feels long and boring at current.
