1001 Albums Summary

Classic 70’s swamp rock 2 or 3 generic blues numbers that let it down, but also 2 or 3 all time classics. Favourite track: looking out my back door

90’s Brit Funk revival Not for me, Jay Kay has a nice voice I suppose but the music is bland and overproduced, and very samey. Nothing stood out. Favourite track: the one with the didgeridoo was at least funny

This album is from the future, made in 1979 Stone cold classic, everything about it makes you dance Favourite track: I Zimbra

The guitarist is a nonce. Am guessing it sounded better live than it does on record. Never been the biggest fan of The Who and this doesn’t do much to change my mind Favourite track: The Ox

Dad never liked The Wall Grew up listening to Pink Floyd but my dad always steered me away from it as he felt it was their weakest record. It’s all quite grand and pompous, at times dull, but tracks like the thin ice have excellent riffs and the whole flows together really well. Part 1 of brick in the wall is superior, tracks like mother let it down. Gilmour > Waters, Dad was right. Favourite track: Comfortably numb

The start of one of the greatest album runs of all time Not my favourite Radiohead album (in rainbows) but makes it close to my top ten from anyone ever. From start to finish immaculate, hard to pick a favourite track and changed and influenced British guitar music from its release. Just stunning. Favourite track: Street Spirit (Fade Out)

All the Harmonies! Seems to be the album where they stopped singing about surfing all the time, and moved towards the grown up pop of pet sounds. Not quite as good as that (nothing is) but I really like it. If anything it’s too short! Favourite track: Help me Rhonda
