1001 Albums Summary

Back In Black by AC/DC

Unfortunately for me, I love AC/DC so goddamn much, it feels like my heart is gonna explode out of my chest, Grinch style. Wild these guys have been writing the same fucking song for 60 years and it's always dope.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Morrissey wails into a drainpipe for the best parts of this album. It's good, but at what cost?

American Idiot by Green Day

I like Green Day, but a whole album was pushing it for me. Very similar sound from one song to the next, much like AC/DC, but I simply don't vibe as much with pop punk.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield

Smooth listening experience. Many songs I recognized. Dusty has a great voice.

Doolittle by Pixies

I like the Pixies more than I like Green Day.

Horses by Patti Smith

What can you say? Patti Smith is pretty good.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

Pretty but also boring. Every track sounds basically the same. Listened once and that was probably enough.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

Perfect.

Synchronicity by The Police

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 by George Michael

George Michael has an incredible voice.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Dope.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Fine, innit?

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

I now know the maximum tolerable amount of Bob Dylan for me is slightly less than the entirety of this album.

Abraxas by Santana

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg

Reign In Blood by Slayer

Bossanova by Pixies

The Doors by The Doors

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Roots by Sepultura

Got two tracks in before my husband made me turn it off.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

Dummy by Portishead

People really will say just any old thing is one of the 1001 best albums of all time, won't they?

Station To Station by David Bowie

Four stars only because it's not one of my personal five star Bowie albums.

Harvest by Neil Young

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Paul Simon wrote Bridge Over Troubled Water and some fuckass put it as the first track on this album, and probably said something like, "I'm sure the rest of it won't be that good, we better frontload," and then every song on this album proceeded to be a fucking classic. Paul, you 5'5" madlad maniac genuis. I love you. Also, Art Garfunkel is there to do the singing and you can't go wrong with that.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

90's drivel.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane

Tago Mago by Can

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

Dope as hell.

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Blackstar by David Bowie

Liquid Swords by GZA

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Welcome to the Afterfuture by Mike Ladd

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

If this album cover was from the seventies, this album would have been dope prog. Alas, it's from 2008, so it's lukewarm folk music instead. It's fine.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Vulnicura by Björk

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne

Another perfectly acceptable album.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Much to my chagrin, I continue to enjoy the Smiths.

Transformer by Lou Reed

Perfect album. To me.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
