1001 Albums Summary

I missed this album in 1983. You couldn't hear it on local radio. I found it in college in 1990 and instantly fell in love. The recording is crisp. It's like they're in the room with you. The lyrics are in-your-face. It's acoustic punk. This is a gem. I love everything about this record..."Everything! Everything! Everything! Everything!".

The album is abstract. The songs accentuate rhythm and repetition. It's pop. It's electronic with guitar used sparingly. Vocals are very light and ethereal. It's good, but, I didn't love it.

Almost every guitarist will cite aqualung as an influence. A great example of 70s rock with a mixture of acoustic tunes. JTs flute is unmistakeable and fits in perfectly.

Essential Simon and Garfunkel. Beautiful vocal harmonies. An eclectic collection of songs. East coast folk. I think there's something for everyone on this album. This is one of the few albums that I have that gets played front-to-back. The production is a little dated but the performance is flawless.

Out of place for British pop/rock in the us in the mid 90s. Good writing. Solid performance. Production doesn't quite hold up for today. I can see how it went unnoticed in the us in the 90s.

My Generation is timeless. The rest are standard 60s rock for a new band trying to make it big.
