My 1001 Albums Journey

Beastie Boys

2/5

Never been a fan of Beastie Boys lyrical style but the album overall is not bad, it’s got good sampling and a consistently strong hiphop beat and i like Qtips feature.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

Real solid songwriting as per usual from him, i just prefer some of his later works like Blood on the Tracks or Time out of Mind. Ballad of a thin man is one of his best songs period.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Absolutely incredible. Standouts for me being Car on a Hill and Down to You. Last few tracks kind of lost me a tiny bit so it’s not perfect

Hotel California

Eagles

2/5

Not bad, but outside of the title track it’s pretty overrated dadrock.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Groovy!

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Gorgeous!

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Solid, but i’d say its one of the weakest from Zep’s golden age, pales especially to IV and Physical Graffiti.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

Interesting, not for me though.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

2/5

Not a metal guy, but i see why it’d get rated highly in the genre.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Some super gorgeous parts, especially a remark you made, but overall not the most consistent jazz album.

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

One of his best albums. The final song is also one of his best. I think TVC15 overstays its welcome a bit however.

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

Pretty sick! Could see myself rating this higher on further listens

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

3/5

Maaaaan the premise, lyrics and cover art is so fucking weird but the instrumental and arrangement is so good. I have to give it a 3 because if you tune out the strange parts its super good.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Some MINT disco. Honestly the famous title track might be my least favourite here, and its a solid track so that says something.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Iggy makes fine music that for whatever reason RARELY grips me (Tonight, success and fall in love with me are great). Its cromulent outside of some ‘concepts’ that haven’t aged well.
