1001 Albums Summary

The Clash by The Clash

Classic. Every track is a banger.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin

Machine Head by Deep Purple

Classic proto metal. Great grooves.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Fantastic early punk. De riguer listening for all fans of punk and garage rock.

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

Beautiful renditions of Nirvana classics with some adorable and hilarious banter between songs. Kurt’s voice is the star. What’s not to love?

The White Room by The KLF

Pretty basic disco/dance music. Not really my thing. No single track stood out to me but it was perfectly adequate background music while I cleaned my house.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Classic.

Third by Soft Machine

Once I got past the painful cacophony of the first track, it settled into a very cool avant garde jazz fest. Groovy and enjoyable.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull

Ugh. No.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

Feet” (why, Brian….why?!?!) and minus one star for “Student Demonstration Time” (super dull bar blues with a heavy-handed message), but 6,712 stars for “Feel Flows” and 896 stars for “Disney Girls”, two of the best Beach Boys songs ever written. So I rate this album 7,608 stars.

You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim

It’s got a good beat and I can dance to it.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

Fun but unimportant.
