1001 Albums Summary

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground

Interesting, but wouldn't listen again. Sounded like people just rambling on instruments.

High Violet by The National

Was ok once I realized the sound they were going for. Drums were a bit too busy at times and sounded like a techno beat trying to be fit into indie songs. Probably wouldn't listen again but sounds like ok background shopping music.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band

This was interesting, but wouldn't listen again. Sounded like some random people just picking up instruments and having a stream of consciousness. Was difficult to finish, but I appreciate how it could influence later music. The Minetaur's Song did at least have some recognizable melodies though.

Ys by Joanna Newsom

Interesting album. Would make for interesting background music.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull

A lot of it sounded repetitive and was difficult to get through

The Dreaming by Kate Bush

Interesting time signatures sometimes, but not the easiest to listen to

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young

Some good songs. Interesting harmonies. Would listen again.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Green by R.E.M.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers

Some interesting riffs but 95% was just noise
