1001 Albums Summary

Listened to this a lot while growing up, likely as a small rebellion against my Dad who mainly listens to punk and reggae. Best track: Riders on the Storm.

Another album I was familiar with, and its banger after banger. Favourite track: a tough choice, but I love Monkey Gone to Heaven.

First album that I move got no history with, and it’s great! Beautifully put together, sounds fresh as fuck. Favourite track: Join the Boys

Another old favourite, although it’s been a long time since I listened in full! Favourite track: another tough choice, but I do love Karma Police.

Very cool album, great vibes throughout. Favourite track: Dime

Another classic that was played a lot around the house growing up, it’s Ill Communication by the Beastie Boys. Favourite track: very hard to choose, but to be contrarian, I’m going with Root Down.

I wasn’t that familiar with Tribe, but last year I read the excellent Go Ahead in the Rain by Hanif Abduraqib, and that got me into their music. Great album! Favourite track: Butter

An album I totally missed at the time, but very solid throughout. Favourite track: Stop Dat
