1001 Albums Summary

I have listened to frank zappa before but never really got his sense of humour or understood the satire, and this album is no exception. Maybe I am just a dumb millennial. This was bordering close to pretentiousness but I suppose I understand a little bit why it got good reviews. I might listen to other frank zappa albums though, such as Joe's Garage

Now I see where Public image got their sound from. I admit I enjoy post punk more than punk, and this album was kinda fun to listen to, although it was a bit long. I had never even heard of The Fall until today.

When it comes to electronic music I like mine to be rhythmic and catchy, especially when combined with the harshness of industrial music. This just feels way too ambient for my tastes, I could not get through all of it. This feels like the backing track to a hawkwind song minus the guitars and drumming

I must say I definitely enjoyed this one. Makes a nice change to hear some classic rock, especially from a band that I know only one or two songs from. It goes a little bit into prog rock around the second half but I don't mind. Will definitely listen to more Slade albums in future.

I was never really that keen on the Strokes since I found their energy to be a bit lacking at times, but this album wasn't too bad to listen to. I do prefer to listen to other garage rock artists like The Hives and Royal Republic though. At least the songs were quick, simple and jolly.

Even though this type of music is about as far removed from my current tastes, this was not too bad of an album. This sort of music usually contains too much blues for me to get into it but somehow listening to an entire album did not feel like a drag. Although I don't plan on actively going out to look for more blues rock music any time soon.

Its only 41 minutes long but felt like less than 30. Lately I have been getting into post punk and new wave bands of the 80s such as new order, public image and Depeche Mode. I get the feeling that this band was at least a partial influence on the birth of industrial rock. So as you can imagine, I did enjoy this album. My dad had their Infected album on CD but I never listened to it. Perhaps I will give it a listen some time.

Finally an album I have listened to before, and it is an absolute banger. Eminem is one of the best rappers out there and this alongside The Slim Shady LP and The Eminem Show represent him at his best. I love how he manages to come up with the most shocking and controversial lyrics that comment on the hypocrisy of the media, parents, political groups and the music industry. Also his wordplay, lengthy rhyming and flow are next level. I say the best songs from the album are Stan, The way I am, and Who Knew.

I have always enjoyed listening to rolling stones' Hot rocks compilation album, and I suppose it is about time I listened to their later work. This album was actually not too bad, although I wasn't really paying attention since I was concentrating on drawing, but I may give it a proper listen some other time.

This album was ok. some of the songs did feel like generic rock, although I did like Had To Handle. Didn't realise it was them that did that song, I hear it a lot on the radio. Not much to say about this band though.

did not listen to this album. Lauryn Hill is a bit of a controversial figure in the rap world so I think I will avoid her for the time being

My dad use to play this album on occasion and I am familiar with most of the songs, but I never properly listened to it until today. And honestly, I really enjoyed it. The Passenger and Lust for life are definitely the best tracks on here. I did not even know that David Bowie produced and sang in it. My mum will be shocked that I was completely unfamiliar with this fact. I have also listened to some albums of Iggy and the Stooges, and they were definitely ahead of their time. This was where punk music was born, and it is all thanks to the big man himself Iggy Pop who is 78 and still going.
