1001 Albums Summary

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

I think probably their best. Underlying grooves that make the songs work so well.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

Great debut album. The band have got better over the years but not matched the spark and songwriting on this.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Patchy. Some brilliant songs but too much filler. Could have been amazing if they'd made a dark concept album around Sympathy and Streetfighting Man.

Blur by Blur

Good album but terribly sequenced. The first two tracks are so strong the rest seems anticlimactic. That's unfair though as not a weak song on there. Feels like they were lazy with presentation. No title, lame sleeve.

Illmatic by Nas

Debut by Björk

Heroes by David Bowie

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Suicide by Suicide

Urban Hymns by The Verve

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

Celebrity Skin by Hole

Much more consistent than I thought and a few real bangers.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim by Frank Sinatra

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

25 by Adele

A Grand Don't Come For Free by The Streets

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

One of the greatest debut albums ever. Pretty much perfect.

Perfect
