1001 Albums Summary

Dark….

Genius record. The sleeve image fails in comparison to what is in the grooves of this record

1st time listen, don’t think it will be my last

Played.

Mullet era Bono. Have not listened to this since the 80s. Decent set of tunes. I always leaned more into The Alarm. 68 GUNS!

I raise my glass to you One Album A Day, never have I listened to two Led Zeppelin records in a span of a week. I hope you’re happy.

1st time with this record.

Advertised in ‘71 as “it’s safe to listen to the Beach Boys again”. If safe means mediocre. With new management and brother Carl in charge, the band begins to walk back from the experimental Pet Sounds into a safer “environmentally conscious and socially aware” territory. The only saving grace for this album is the three Brian penned songs on side two. My favorite “ A Day In The Life Of A Tree”

Mild R&B/Funk.

A case where one done is so good, pure perfection, that it outshines the rest of the record

Love this period of Dinosaur Jr. and this era of SST records

Electric Light Orchestra. Now with MORE Orchestra.

A beautiful noxious weed in a field of flower power https://youtu.be/B1sbg_C-72c?is=rMv-_a9qoVPOX54X

Steely Dan was prescient and created the soundtrack to Miami Vice ten years before the show came to be Or Music people go hang gliding to. Or It was 33 minutes.

Yeah…. Next record, please.

A funky hot air balloon ride…

Jazz is a mystery to me.

Taking Yoshimi to the disco…

“I thought it was dreary for gay people to have to listen to straight people's love songs." - Lou Reed

“I don’t care if it’s out of tune. Let’s play. Fuck it” - Neil Young

#1 choice for background music in a professional office setting or mall restaurant.

This monkey’s gone to eat candy heaven

In the era of Brit Pop, if Oasis were the Beatles, Blur were the Kinks. I always dug the Kinks.

This shiny diamond was not for me.

Nothing shocking here folks.

Enjoy your biscuits and tea with WHO now fortified with special vitamin K!

Hey Hollywood, you got a film about the Vietnam war? I got a band for you!

Prrrrfect record!

Not missing any of the action! Dug.

Only 4 stars, cuz’ Loveless is a masterpiece!

Happy trails you, Quicksilver Messenger Service, may we NEVER meet again.

A masterclass in the art of sampling

Sailing on the seas of FM radio, my only companions, Blacklight Zepp, Baby ‘Stache, and Feathered Roach Clip.
