1001 Albums Summary

Tough listen, lots of pain. Year I graduated high school. Remember listening in the freshman dorm.

It's Zeppelin and I am a fanboy. Hits right of the bat with famous riff and hammer of the Gods...Gallows pole and Tangerine is one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. Great slide guitar and southern blues from Page but JPJ is this album and arranger. Not too much from Bonzo. Definitely can hear the growth from the band and all being at Headley Grange is clear.

One of my favorite Radiohead albums after first being exposed to them by their mainstream hit Creep. Three of my favorites...High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees and Black Star.

Great Album. After learning about their precious master tapes being stolen, listening to this album from stary to finish took on a whole new meaning. Great story telling and anthem feel.

Yep...can't do it.

Concept is cool, each song is too long and very similar to the next.

Maybe no bass guitar but sure can hear Lars. Probably the album that put Metallica on the path of overwhelming success and inclusion of melodic and instrumental features with their hard speed. Great lyrics.

You can hear Liverpool by the third beat.

Reminds me of some early Bond themes. Great piano. For 1966, black female artist, easy to hear why it was groundbreaking.

Too long. Some good drums. Couldn't get into the lyrics.

Great jams especially guitar on track one. Some sound effects like train signals and goats weren't necessarily but I get it...

Good lyrics. Heavy on the twang. Can hear Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow.

Great guitar player and lyricist...can't always handle his voice for a long period of time. Was a perfect match with CSN.

It's Ella singing with a big band some of America's best songs of the time.

One of the most iconic albums and best live recordings...kinda overplayed for my generation but listening to it front to back I have a newfound respect.

It's Marley....funny to see what a mess the band was....writers, names, money. Easy to see they just loved the party and dint know how to make it a responsible business or company.

Slow. Couldn't gather anything special from lyrics or story.

Birdland was a favorite growing up from my dad. Decent jazz album.

One of the best....freshman year in college.

Great album....good solid rock and Tull is so unique in lyrics, style and voice.

It is what it is.

Great jams.

Good Dylan....old enough you could still understand him.

Ginger is an amazing drummer. Great jams and cool rhythms.

One of the best singer songwriters.

Extremely important singer/songwriter.

Great Album, good music.

What can you day that it's accolades have not already...one of the best of all time.

Interesting folk, Irish feel.

Good album. Can hear his message in the lyrics. Great production. Clearly talented, but also clear he suffers from mental illness today.

A little Yaz feeling but kit as good. Random names as lyrics....

UB40 is more than Red Red Wine.

Great voice, can wear you down.

Like a combination of Digital Underground, Jamiroquai, and ICP.

One of the best ever. When rap was rap.

Not my favorite Sonic Youth album.

Not bad.

Great prog rock.

Great Live Album.

Good classic. Reminds me of listening to 45s with my uncle.

Kind of like Crowded House. Good acoustic guitar

Surprisingly a few more upbeat songs I did not expect.

One of the best all time.

The stones are great.

Can't beat Diamond Dave.

Interesting mix of cultures.

Not the best Cure but still good.

Not the best Morrissey but still good.

Great voice, very smooth. Great lounge and swanky restaurant music....like at The Earle in Ann Arbor.

Not bad....kinda like Carpenters and indie 60s

I understand the value and the punk aspect but not my style.

Great prog rock band but I am a poser and only like their greatest hits.

Talented but repetitive.

Big George Michael fan. Great voice and talent. Gone too soon...too much bathroom behavior will do that.

Thought was going to be next Beatles. Alcohol and brother fights ruined them.

The Police are great....Stuart Copeland is a tomekeeper.

Very different than his greatest hits.

One of the quintessential albums of the Pink Floyd's catalog.

Man....depressing.

Knoppfler is amazing. Great cohesive band.

Great Rasta...

One of Elton's best.

Very Enigma or Moby feeling.

Good new find. A little Jamiroquai.

Great story teller. At times the vibrato can be a little much.

Pretty hard....a little feeling of Marilyn Manson.

Pixies are great. Wide range in their music.

Bowie is awesome but this is a little out there....like should be the soundtrack to the space odyssey.

Great bug band. All talented. Cool grooves and jams.

Who great....Leeds shows always great.

Gotta respect Zappa...but only in small increments.

Great instrumentals...like Sandy Nelson just less drums.

More instumentals....kinda slow.

Great simple blues rock.

Very much like Bjork. Good beats and good voice.

Great song writer and appreciate her talent but not my favorite group of songs.

Mark Knopfler is a great guitarist. Album first 3 songs big hits.

Couple good tunes. Not as.good as some other albums.

Weird spoken word poetry....

Great Rock Opera. Townsend is creepy but a great talent.

It is what you would expect from Echo and the Bunnymen
