1001 Albums Summary

Stevie Wonder is obsessed with sinning and saying goodbye to some ladies. Boogie on Reggae Woman is a jam. Heaven is 10 Zillion Light years away is a catchy song but it’s about God or Jesus, I think.

I liked this more than I thought I would. It starts out like the soundtrack to a duel and stays that way. Not running music.

Could do without Julia.

Some good songs here, but also some real doozies. Maybe I don’t get it but A Day in the Life of a Tree and Student Demonstration Time came off as jokey. A song about Kent State that sounded like Bad to the Bone? Also, does anybody think that the end of These Things I’ll Be Til the Day I Die is kind of like “I Got Soul But I’m Not a Soldier”?

Lush. Sounds like my college beau.

I dig it all, though a lot of the songs sound the same. Save a Prayer is such a jam.

Each song kills me. Ending with We’ll Meet Again? Such a death. Side note: my favorite song has been I Hung My Head, which I later discovered was written by Sting. I still love it.

Lost Cause seems based on such a universal feeling and is also such a burn for a loved one. A nice departure for an artist known for goof. Love love love.

Rad.

I like Soul Kitchen. I haven’t listened to these songs since college. At Ohio State in the late 90s, you would typically hook up to this album or something by Jimmy Buffet. So these songs remind me of some regrettable evenings with men who believed they were poets.

Boys and Girls is a great song. I just didn’t like the rest. Played the album in the car and Iggy seemed to like it. “Only when they are singing, not while they are talking.”

I remember when the sun caught me crying. So embarrassing! Songs are good but I’d prefer to not have Andy Williams style production values and background carolers.

Iggy likes this - found a clean playlist of this on Spotify. We had to unpack a lot about Kim and Hailie. I prefer funny Eminem to the Eminem that wants his daughter’s help killing mom or is questioning whether or not to date rape someone.

Not my favorite genre. Some of these dongs are fifteen minutes long. I liked Confusion the Waitress.
