My 1001 Albums Journey

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Ren-faire, medieval times, about to go on an adventure to destroy a ring type vibes

The Verve

3/5

Where the classic, Bittersweet Symphony came from. Album is a relic of its time, encapsulating that quintessential late 90s rock sound.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Classic album with bangers, actually never listened to to whole album until now. It's been maddening to see how low Kanye has fallen.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Classic Nirvana songs packaged in a solid live album. Nice to hear Cobain sounding just as good live.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

Somehow missed listening to this album when it was generated. New jazz artist I've never heard of.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

They didn't have to give us 24 songs on one album, but they did. So many classic bangers.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

First band or artist on the list that I've never heard of. Not my cup of tea but I can see the influence this band has had on other bands. I hear Wolfmother through them.
