1001 Albums Summary

This was okay. However, if you want to hear an awesome Johnny Cash live album get Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison. Outstanding!!!

An outstanding album. Very eclectic. Two classic Neil Young songs: Mr. Soul and Broken Arrow. Other good songs are Expecting to Fly, Rock and Roll Woman, Bluebird, Upside Down and A Child’s Claim to Fame. There are a few weak songs but this is an excellent album. Highly recommended.

This is a good album. I would rate it 3 1/2 stars. The lyrics are the strong point of the album. The good songs are A Place called home, One time and Kamikaze. If you are a PJ Harvey you might want to pick this album up.

This is a gem. Probably their best. The genre is alt-countryJeff Tweedy’s songwriting is so good. The best songs are I am trying to break your heart, Jesus etc., heavy metal drummer and I am the man who loves you. Some of the songs challenge the listeners but that is okay. Highly recommended

I forgot how good Santana was. Pleasantly surprised. Great guitar from Carlos. Lots of instruments Jazz/Latin influences . Type of progressive rock. Three hit songs stand out Black Magic Woman written by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac Oye Como Va Tito Fuentes Hope you’re feeling better

Five star album. Otis in prime form. Great band: Booker T and the MG’s and Memphis Horns. Recorded in 2 days Otis wrote Respect. Anthem of the 60s when Aretha covered it. Other great songs: I’ve been loving you too long to stop now, a change is gonna come, Shake Boldest cover: I can’t get no satisfaction

My dad was a big jazz fan. Me not much. Cool cover. I give it 4 stars. It sounds good. If you are a jazz fan get it.

3 1/2 stars Great voice. Mostly piano accompaniment. Sometimes light snare. Good song: How high is the moon. Album is repetitious. No variety. Album of my parents’ generation.

Provocative album and album Common people:good song Not great but not bad. Part of the Britpop scene. Average album: three stars

I don’t know much Laura Nyro. I know at one time she was supposed to be the next big thing. I know she was booed at the Monterey Pop Festival. Piano main instrument. Sounds like 50s Frank Sinatra music. Voice fine. Good songwriter. Stoned Soul Music: good song. It is an average album. Three stars.

I had never heard of Frank Ocean before.Not familiar with his music He has a good voice especially his high fasotto. Rap Style songs: rapping, synths, drum machines. No song stands out. Not bad. An average album. Three stars.

I have never heard of them. Electronic music. No real instruments. The male vocalist is not good. The female vocalist is good. I guess it is music you can dance to. No song really stands out. Lots of the songs sound the same. Not very good. Two stars.

Led Zeppelin is very derivative. Mostly from the blues. Nothing really new. I really don’t understand why they are so popular Lyrics aren’t very good at all. Softer than most Led Zeppelin albums Immigrant song is catchy. No other songs stand out. Imaginative album name. Not very good. Two stars.

Back to their roots album. Great production from Jimmy Miller Some great songs: sympathy for the devil, jigsaw puzzle, salt of the earth Street Fighting Man: Mick Jagger. Poor boy. You are kidding, right. Some filler on the album. Cool cover. Pretty good album. Four stars

I think the Doors are overrated. Morrison is a bit of a jerk. Actually more than a bit. Lots of songs sound blues based The Spy is a good song. Morrison’s voice sounds shot. None of the other songs stand out. Average album. Three stars.

Pioneering electronic music band Provocative band name: Suicide Vocals: not good Songs sound the same; not interesting at all No like. One star

I have not heard of them. Nice vocals and harmonies. A quiet album. Really stripped down. Genre: indie/alternative No songs really stand out. Not bad. Three stars.
