1001 Albums Summary

-10 songs, 42 mins -Release date: July 22, 19 -Fav Song: Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years, -Least Fav Song: They Won’t Go When I Go -Thoughts: I can see Smile Please become a remind song for myself, it has good vibes in the beat and also in its lyrics. Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years away is very beautiful and sad but still very relatable to this day with race issues still being prevalent in today’s society, and although it’s inherently sad with it lyrics it just hits your soul like the song Colors by Black Pumas (standout for lyrics/message). Too Shy To Say is a love song to a friend who’ve you fell in love with but your to shy to tell them everything that they make you feel, I find this very relatable i’ve definitely have been in a situation like this. Boogie On Reggae Woman was a complete switch up from the previous songs vibe, the vibe is fun and the lyrics are fun (standout for vibe shift). Creepin’ brought the album back to the chill vibe with a love song about your partner creeping into your dreams. You Haven’t Done Nothin’ was a vibe shift again and i hear this song as both a political and personal statement, it can represent someone who’ll say their change but never does but also by politicians who do the same by saying they care but in reality do the opposite. It Ain’t No Use brings the vibe back down and it’s about not trying to fix a relationship and breaking up because they’re just not meant to be. They Won’t Go When I Go to me is just about how sinners won’t go where he goes because he’s not a sinner (not my fav just due to my lack of relating but incredible vocals). Bird of Beauty switched the vibe again and it live for it, it gives a vacation song and vibe. Please Don’t Go brings back the mellow vibe but it’s also a hype mellow vibe in the beat, it’s about a lover trying to leave, but he’s trying to stop her saying he’ll do everything she wants him to because he would be sad without her. -Would I listen to it again: 100% it was am amazing album to listen to

-12 songs, 38 mins -Released: October 27, 1977 -Fav Song: Lair or Anarchy in the U.K. -Least Fav Song: It’s hard to choose but probably Holidays in the Sun Thoughts: Throughout the album I enjoyed the lyrical delivery and the instruments, which might be due to the fact I love punk music. -Holidays in the Sun: The band went to Berlin to escape from what they were experiencing in the London. It focuses paranoia and hysteria while also on the Berlin Wall. -Bodies: It’s about this woman got an abortions and how shes label an animal. It’s not pro or against abortion Lydon, the singer, said "That song was hated and loathed. It's not anti-abortion, it's not pro-abortion. It's: 'Think about it. Don't be callous about a human being, but don't be limited about a thing as 'morals' either. Because it's immoral to bring a kid in this world and not give a toss about it.'" -No Feelings: It’s about how this person doesn’t have feelings for anybody else other than himself. He’s very self absorbed and narcissistic. -Lair: It’s about how someone is a liar for their own ego, but the singer is aware of this and just wants answers. Primarily about their first manager, Malcom McClaren, but also about anyone on the outside trying to manipulate the bad. -Problems: Its about this person who thought they had it all figured out, but they became the problem because life isn’t about settling down it’s about openness to respond and take in new information is what life is all about -God Save the Queen: Iconic song by them about the U.K. citizens and how their no future do the actions of the queen and their recession. Inflation and unemployment were high, and the government seemed to show no compassion for the working class. The meaning behind “God Save the Queen’s” lyrics is solidarity with the working class rather than purely shock and protest. -Seventeen: It’s seems to be about the hippie movement and how they’re against it. -Anarchy in the U.K.: Another iconic song of theirs. It’s about It has been considered part of the cultural movement, and caused controversy in the nation due to the nature of its lyrics where it wields an anti-authoritarian perspective. Their band manager once stated, "It's a call to arms to the kids who believe that rock and roll was taken away from them. It's a statement of self rule, of ultimate independence." -Sub-Mission: Sex Pistols manager asked the band to write a song about bondage and sadomasochism, and lead singer John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten), having already grown tired of McLaren, wrote the lyrics not about a sexual submissive, but about an underwater vessel. -Pretty Vacant: To me it’s about them being vacant because they don’t care and they are always out for lunch. -New York: This song is a rant about bands from New York in general but especially the New York Dolls, who Malcolm McLaren briefly managed prior to the Pistols. -EMI: It about EMI, the label they were singed to from October 1976 until January 1977 but was let go due to their controversial behavior, and this is their “fuck you” song to the label. -Would I listen again: 1000% i love punk music so why not
