1001 Albums Summary

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

Really good music for a slow morning, I can see myself adding some of these tracks to my playlists

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

It’s a good album, but there are some misses for me like the opening track. I prefer To Pimp a Butterfly

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

I didn’t dislike this, but it was more like background music to me than something I’d play for myself to actively listen to

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

Not my favorite that’s come up so far but I liked it! Very dance-y. I think I would’ve enjoyed more without the language barrier, I’ll have to look into what they’re singing about. 4/5

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

I don’t typically gravitate towards this type of rock but I really enjoyed this 5/5

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Pretty good

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim

Reminded me of Vince Guaraldi

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Queen II by Queen

Pretty good but a forgettable album for me

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones

First album while doing this challenge that I wished was longer, really good album!

Raw Power by The Stooges

Not bad. Not great. Probably won’t be revisiting. 3/5

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

C'est Chic by CHIC

Odelay by Beck

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Over 2 hours long and still not long enough for me

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail by Buck Owens

Started off not loving it but it grew on me. Not my fav country, I’d still prefer Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash but this was good 3/5
