1001 Albums Summary

This is an interesting album, you can hear the punk rock heritage and multiple different influences in Jack’s vocals and the music. Some harder Beatles tracks come to mind in addition to Dead Kennedies. Interesting amalgamation. And them the indie rock sound which became dominant after this

This was a very interesting album musically and in terms of genres, extremely broad, fusing a lot of different sounds. Everything from what today would be known as indie rock to funk, the classic hard rock that Zeppelin is known for, as well as really interesting influences like folk songs and cashmere kind of operatic rock. It's just incredible how rich artistically this album is. Experimental

Kind of hard to believe that this record is from 1978. It feels so ahead of its time in every way. Just very interesting and you can hear everybody in here who's been influenced. Daft Punk, freaking just an interesting album

I never really listened to more of this 50’s swing / big band side of Ray Charles as much as the faster rhythm and blues (he was introduced to me in the Blues Brothers). Interesting listen.

This was somehow heartbreaking and scary at the same time. Very dark. Goodbye felt like quite a commanding voice. Simultaneously hopeless and hopeful

One of those bands that you're supposed to know but I can't say I'd ever actually listen to them that much. Enjoyed making their acquaintance and I certainly understand why it's received the status that it has, emblematic of the period

Very in that Blur era of music. Kind of interesting but didn’t really do that much for me.

So very uk so very 90’s. I kind of dig it but was never my number 1 jam

Love it. Inwas surprised this album is from 1978, this was a familiar record in many ways (Eruption, Running with the devil, Ain’t talking bout love), but listening to the full album really put it in more context and I kind of get why it was a forerunner of what 80s hard rock and glam, metal, heavy sound would be like.

This album was cool in that I can't say I had heard Sam Cooke live before. The sound was very raw. You could almost feel the heat and the sweat from the club where he was playing. I was super impressed. The intensity of the performance was something that you don't really hear in the cleaner album versions. I enjoyed this listen

I mean, it’s Rage Against the Machine. Unique sound and just a standout record overall

What an oddly anachronistic album, with lots of 80s electronic sounds mixed with that early 2000s indie rock flavour. Kinda liked it, nothing super spectacular but certainly somewhat original

Not my jam. Not bad but not my jam. Musically orherwise ok, don’t dig this stule of vocals

This is a great album, Norah’s voice has always been amazing and the soft tender sounds always make me feel better.

Cool album, interesting production, quite diverse sound. You can tell they’ve worked together with Neil Young, some of it sounds like the Doors, also firmly rooted in the Woodstock era. Fleet Foxes is basically this album with more effects.

This is a very familiar album I’ve listened to before. I love everything about it, listening to it takes me back to 2005-2010 when I had it in heavy rotation.

Very familiar album, start to finish. It's great, just the wild energy that I first got introduced to through a bunch of different skate films

Insane record. I found my way to Janis Joplin in middle school, this record takes me back. The vocals are insane, what a unique lady. Everything about this sound just works, diverse album mixing a lot of influences.

The whole early 2000-2010’s indie rock boom is basically this album. I liked it surprisingly much, had a different impression of Morrissey, this sound isn’t as dark as some of his other stuff.

Cool album in its raw simplicity

Well this is just a classic I tie back to a few specific summers. Their sound certainly set them apart from other indie rock acts of the time. The songwriting is excellent

I didn’t know all this about Peter Frampton. Healthy helping of rock n roll 🙏 enjoyed

This record feels ahead of its time/anachronistic in so many ways. Also really diverse musically from rock to these ethereal electronic sounds. Certainly feels like foundational Bowie material.

Sounds like early 90’s seattle sound. Another one I’ve known about but never really listened to. Not quite my cup of tea but can appreciate their niche and artistry. The vocal harmonies are interesting and uncharacteristically musical for my image of this scene.

What an oddly theatrical/musical album. Feels story first, doesn’t fit into any genre.

Some early early punk vibes in here
