1001 Albums Summary

I thought this was wonderful. The grooves, the control, the overdubbed vocal lies. Great stuff!

I have not listened to this whole thing yet because my headphones BROKE!! But I actually liked what I heard. I think 70s cock rock sounds best when in this live setting. It's a raw, it's a bit sexy, and it sounds like a hell of a good time.

Fine, I guess. I understand how this became the progenitor of all D&B but I still don't actually care for this kind of music too much. At least sober and in the light of day

I love love love Silver Dagger and always have. The rest of Joan's work has always been of more historical interest to me than anything else. Her voice is incredible and she clearly has a very thorough understanding of the folk canon, but I'm just not that moved by the more yodel-adjacent strain of folk that was popular at the time. It's not a fair comparison, but Bob's more grounded strain is more more kind of bag.

A little too intentionally absurd for me to fully lock in to, but the highlights (Tainted Love, Sex Dwarf (of course)) do indeed continue to rock.

I would go on A Date With The Everly Brothers any day of the week. Cathy's Clown is the definite highlight here, but the surprising rhythmic complexity and playful melodies which always sing out in the duo's songwriting still abounds even amongst the deeper cuts.

Obviously a classic.

Way more fun than I expected!! I love fuzzy 60s weirdness.

There is literally no occasion where I would not feel like putting this on. One of the great vibes.

If you close your eyes you can almost see the blinking lights of the analog sequencers. Never has electronic music felt both more tangible and cosmic.

Sufjan Stevens: *plucks a single banjo string* Me: Bursts into tears.

Hell yeah, makes me want to mosh

Totally fine. Good dishwasher detergent and music.

Insufferable drivel. I hated every second of listening to this. Jamie xx has done far more interesting work separate from these two vapid nothings.

I prefer my trip hop with a bit more cinema, a la Portishead. But totally chill and unobtrusive!

On of my all time favourites. I love Miles dearly.

Unavoidably good, even if the second half lacks the immediacy of the famous singles which the first half throws at you without mercy.

I had absolutely no hope for this being good when it came up, but it was surprisingly enjoyable! Who knew the guy from Drive Like Jehu had a straight down the line punk outfit, which was seemingly more successful??? The world is full of revelations.
