1001 Albums Summary

(What's The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis

Full of classics, no skip album. But on re-listening to the whole album, hard to listen to objectively due to hype and nostalgia.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

Want it to be over. I can't put my finger on it but there is something just unsettling and awful about it all. Starting to remind me of Frank Zappa and maybe I don't like Frank Zappa now. Little bits of funk, country come through but it's like it's taking the piss. I know it's an acquired taste but I can't contemplate how people like this.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

Classic millenial album. I can't rate it objectively due to nostalgia.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Bossanova by Pixies

Got some bangers but it gets repetitive and hard not to skip tracks.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

I see that it's good but doesn't do it for me.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Unlikely to want to listen to this again any time soon.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets

Will listen to this again.

Damaged by Black Flag

Classic but apart from some bangers, not my thing.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick

Love it. I think Oasis listened to this.
