1001 Albums Summary

Graceland by Paul Simon

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix

JQ: More avant-garde than I expected. Will definitely revisit more.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Blur by Blur

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin

Classic soul. Terrific stereo mix. Insane cast of supporting characters. No weak songs.

The Bones Of What You Believe by CHVRCHES

First 2 songs were terrific, then the next 5 tried to do the exact same thing. Could have done with 2-4 cut songs and resequencing

Be by Common

Super enjoyed it. Thought to give ot 5 stars knowing Phrenology will eventually be in the list

We Are Family by Sister Sledge

Nile Rodgers production A+. Maybe too short?!

New Forms by Roni Size

Love Brown Paper Bag. Pretty sure New Forms includes sound FX samples from Star Trek IV. If I had more musical context I might’ve rated it higher, but I think I’d be more apt to return to other UK electronic music of the time (UNLKLE, Massive attack)

Amnesiac by Radiohead

Maybe the greatest “B-side” record, ever; it stands alone as its own record with its own pervasive musical themes. Wish they tapped into Jazz elements more. Not my favorite Radiohead record (or second, third…) but damn there isn’t a weak song here. Stuck between a 4 and 5… but fuck it.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal

Proto-blues. Really pleasant listen and great for background listening. So many droning psych bands try to pull this off

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen
