1001 Albums Summary

This album has always carried a lot of emotional weight. As a child of '76, I heard this throughout the years, but in my teenage years, Pink Floyd took center stage. My friendships revolved around music (concerts, clubs, albums), the closest of which shared this album in particular. Hopes, dreams, and inconvenient truths, this one said it all.

Spin baby, spin!

Intermittent sounds of the 90s.

The duo brought alternative music to a wider audience, but if you already lived there, it wasn't much.

Tight engineering, but not for me.

Folk, psychedelic folk, indescribable... Many love it, many hate it. I for one love it!

"The Gotan guys blend the sexy syncopations of tango with the dark, echoing textures of dub and the beats of house and nu jazz to create a sound that is at once timeless and extremely modern, familiar and completely original, and basically just so darn all-around hip that it’ll infuse your squalid little urban apartment with all the allure of a smoke-filled Parisian jazz club." Ditto!

Groovin, you dig. Layin down the real deal!

Everything I want from The Stones! A pinnacle of 1970s rock, blending blues, country, and gritty rock 'n' roll.

Progressive rock of the 70s. Heavy metal, glam, and art rock, it's all there.

Serene, spaced-out, and self-indulgent. Not quite hitting the mark for me.

It's Morrissey, just not the best Morrissey,

A shot at the British Invasion, but not my favorite sound. I'm more Farther Along, The Byrds, and Sweetheart Of The Rodeo.
