1001 Albums Summary

Day #001 What an album to kick off my project. Well known as I listened to this a lot in my younger days. Fantatic mix of punk, ska, reggae and even snippets of soul and jazz . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Day #002 Album number two is also another well-known classic. Recently purchased on vinyl. With major contributions from Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan from the E Street Band. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#003 again a classic album I have on vinyl. And maybe the album of the Stones which made them the greatest band on earth. Full of great rock, blues , soul and gospel tunes. My first 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#004 I was 18 when this came out, just after I discovered the pixies and just before or after the Smashing Pumpkins. Later I became more a Pearl Jam lover because of the live shows. But Nirvana was one the the bands that started me moving into grunge and alternative rock music to be the soundtrack of my late teens and early twenties. Except for the last song, it are all fantastic songs with great melodies and high energy! 5/5

#005 I know Black Sabbath from ofcourse Paranoid and few other songs. I am not a metalhead but like a good heavy guitar riff now and than and see the importance this album has had for the genre. I accidently started this morning with the Paranoid album before I realized the cover was different 😉. I listened the correct one few times today and although I love the heavy guitar work it is not an easy listen with some weird structures and doomy sounds this is not something for everyday :). 3/5

Day #6 . 4/6 I own physically (3 LP, 1 CD). And already 2nd member of the club of 27 in my project. Guess Amy will come soon as well. This will be a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Janis sings from the top of her toes straight from her soul. She is meaning it and that reflects how she sings. Great bluesrock to underline it.

Day #007 I am familiar with Nick Cave and know some of his work, but he isn't heavy in my rotation and I don't own any of his albums. Push the Sky Away was the last record I think I fully listened to. I have a few friends who are huge fans and actually saw him this week in Germany, so I’ve been seeing a lot of footage pop up on my social media. His live performances seem incredibly impressive, but maybe also a bit intense and overwhelming. Because of that, I’ve never taken the plunge to see him live. I listened to this album during my commute to work. It's normally a 20-minute ride, but due to a roadblock and traffic jam, I managed to finish almost the entire record. In a sense, it is really beautiful how Nick processes the death of his beloved son, and I am glad I've now experienced the full album. It is incredibly well-made. The ambient, atmospheric sound fits the heavy subject matter perfectly, but it is just a bit outside of my usual listening range and taste. 3/5.
