1001 Albums Summary

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads

Jaunty, sometimes droning and repetitive. A little funk, jangly guitars, voice sounds and percussion sounds. Reminds me of TMBG in some of the music and lots of the goofy lyrics.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

Symphonic Elton John

The Cars by The Cars

Classic songs and lots of hits. Futuristic sounds

xx by The xx

Very ambient, simple, clean.

Bossanova by Pixies

Dummy by Portishead

Super great ambient, moody without being a downer.

1984 by Van Halen

Very 80s guitar/synth

So by Peter Gabriel

An all-timer.

Trio by Dolly Parton

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Live Through This by Hole

Drunk by Thundercat

Super fun, chill, mostly silly

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

A few songs is ok, but a whole album at once is too much
