1001 Albums Summary

Don't know if I have anything insightful to say. I'm pretty sure I've heard multiple of these songs in commercials and movies, which might be colouring my thoughts on them. These feel like something my dad might have in his cassette tape collection. Nostalgic in the way I tend to find any 70-80s song nostalgic; old, but not so old as to feel completely unfamiliar. Nice to have on in the background. Love the 'That's it' followed by laughter at the end of "Mercedes Benz". Glad people have been doing that with their songs for many a decade. Favourites: 1. Half Moon 2. Buried Alive In The Blues 3. Mercedes Benz

I like this one.

It's Michael Jackson. What am I supposed to say? There were quite a few songs I hadn't heard before in this, but I think the reason why you don't hear them as often is because they aren't as good, sadly (With the exception of 'Leave me Alone.' I liked that one, but I had never heard it before). The bass on a couple of these makes me think of the Sega Genesis. Favourites: Smooth Criminal, Leave Me Alone

I don't have much to say about this one. Favourites: Fascination (it just maybe lasts just a tad longer than it needs to?), Fame.

I like this one, I just don't have much to say except that I thought including the kid in 'After School Special' was cute. Favourites: If You Only Knew, Break.

Didn't know how to feel about it at first, as I don't normally listen to TV/movie soundtracks. None of the music in this was bad or anything, but typing this a day later, I can only remember the ending song because of the story.

I could revisit this one, but I'd have to be in a very particular mood. Could be an issue with the recording, but the harmonica could be grating on the ears sometimes.

My first DNF. There were a few songs that were alright, but honestly, I think I wanted to like them more than I actually did. The style of vocals is really not my thing, either.

Don't have much to say about this one.
