1001 Albums Summary

It's Led Zep IV. It starts With "Black Dog" It has "Stairway to Heaven" It ends with a cover of one of the first blues rock songs on record (Memphis Minnie's "When The Levee Breaks") It has Plant, Page, Bonham and Jones. It's a 5.

I'm going to have to listen to it for a second time when I get time. First impressions are I liked the first (title) track. Wasn't a fan of the second track (a version of "I heard it through the grapevine"), but that's my only minus point. I know some really like this version but I have never heard this album before so it really took me by suprise and not in a good way. Did really like: 3. "Runaway Child, Running Wild" 4. "Love is a Hurtin' thing" 5. "Hey Girl" 6. "Why Did She Have to Leave Me (Why Did She Have to Go)" 7. "I Need Your Lovin'" 8. "Don't Let Him Take Your Love From Me" 9. "I Gotta Find a Way (To Get You Back)" 10. "Gonna Keep on Tryin' till I Win Your Love" Not my usual diet but I have been trying to get more into soul music the past 10 years (Franklin, Flack, Simone, Supremes). Haven't listened to a lot of male groups but was intending to, but never been a fan of falsettos and male harmonies (only thing that impressed me before was the unwavering "The Stylistics" - even if not a fan) That's a me problem, not a them problem though. So, 4/5

I don't have this album but I know most of the tracks from the compliation CDs like "Sand in the Vaseline". I do have "More Songs About Buildings and Food", "Little Creatures", "Remain in Light", "Speaking in Tongues" and so on, inc Stop making Sense. In fact the only albums I don't have is their first (this one), "Fear of Music" and True Stories". No idea why or how that came about. I haven't listened to many of these old albums for a while though because when I feel like listening to some Talking Heads I just put on "Sand in the Vaseline". So I'm already familiar with: No Compassion Don't Worry About the Government Psycho Killer Sugar on my Tongue Loves goes to a Building on Fire I Want to Live I Wish You Wouldn't Say That Anyway of this album, from the tracks I've never heard of before, I really like the different sounds (to me) from the band of: "uh-oh Love Comes to Town" "New Feelings" "Tentative Decisions" "Who is it?" So 7 top well known songs I have always liked plus a bonus of discovering some funkier and groovier songs from their first album above. 5/5

This why I signed up on this website. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I have never heard about this artist before because I stopped following the media or looking for anything new around 2010 because what I heard 2005-2010 or later wasn't interesting. Love it. On the first listen I started paying attention and being extremely impressed by the third track. I've Been Dazed Piano Joint Living in Denial Hero Final Days Solid Ground etc are all standout tracks.

First time I've honestly listened to anything from Adele. Not my regular type of music but some of it was good. Started off very strong, made great first impressions. The middle of it was weak enough to lose my interest as it wasn't my style - and wasn't that good - but the last 4 tracks ended strongly and the first 3 were great too. Definitely worth a listen.

Another album I already have sadly. My brother put me on them 20+ years ago, how time flies. The track "Freedom" got a lot of play back in the day. Got to admit I have only listened to this album ~3 times in the past few years though.
