1001 Albums Summary

Great compilation of soul covers if some really good songs. Also discovered the original version of Respect, later covered by Aretha Franklin

Some good early guitar riffs, lots of harmonies, and some classic tunes I never knew came from the same record.

Sounded like young kids trying to sound tough. Some good heavy guitar, though.

Some great guitar solos that were unexpected. Otherwise, most of the songs didn't seem very remarkable to me.

Some good hard early rock. And obviously some classic tunes. I've never really understood all the hype, though. I think it was just very pioneering for its time.

British new-wave synth-pop without a ton of memorable melodies or rhythms. I have no idea why it's on this list.
