1001 Albums Summary

classic. liked better as a whole album than the singles.

had mostly heard the singles. Was a little confused by extended El Paso. excellent

I enjoyed the more industrial, but disliked the more mainstream aspects. Horny. Just Incredibly horny.

given to me the day after she died. Absolute legend.

forgettable, boring performance recorded live. I'm not sure how this one gets so much attention.

fun bit of classic 70s folk. "twisted" is an interesting track.

love afrobeat. Have had several phases of in and out of it as an obsession. excellent.

had a few tracks I quite enjoyed, I felt it had likely influenced the early 90s era of weezef pretty heavily.

cool drum machine work. microphones sound very strange. Maybe a little too old school for me to really love.

Not generally a huge Springsteen fan, but i found this album much more to my tastes. The stripped down lo-fi ambiance fits the subject matter.

fun indie art album. kind of Dancy at times

I wanna be your dog.

fun if repetitive. Having a distinct sound means most tracks sound very similar. DJ and beats were quite good, old school sounding.

listened in 2 spurts. Had listened to the fugees a bit and enjoyed this similarly. Really liked the framing audio from the classroom. Really well produced.

more interesting as archeology for heavy metal than "good" but some tracks got nice and noisy and violent.

trying to do a lot of stuff but not doing most of it very well. Couple fun tracks. Cheesy 80s hip hop.

Good, did some reading about it. Based on a film that was never made. I think I prefer Harvest, but it's all still Neil Young.

enjoyable. Liked "zilch" for its weird a cappella weirdness. First album they played themselves with no session musicians. Felt very much like the beatles but maybe less pretentious?

rather boring, kinda groovy at times but most tracks kind of felt very samey and dull.

Did not really care for this. very synthy art pop which sounds like I should like it on paper. I did not. Some things described it as post punk, but again not something I enjoyed.

excellent, great Motown with a bit of funk influence. Honestly some of the best stevie wonder I've listened to.

kind of just sounded like a "60s" album. Inoffensive but nothing really stood out here, nor was the album structured in any kind of compelling way.

Janis Joplin focused album. Really enjoyed the r crumb art, also enjoyed the bait and switch of including live audience audio when the album is a studio recording.

It sound alike. muddy waters. I was surprised with how clean some of the recordings sounded. Enjoyable record.

solid renditions, really interesting how Charles managed to make all of these songs his own. They do not sound "country"

emotionally moving. sad boy music.

very fun combo of folk and trad music, really liked the track "sailors song"

Did not realize how early this album had come out.

surprisingly contemporary feeling. First time I've heard music from under th dictatorship.

excellent. More of a greatest hits or compilation than an album tho.

Dancy. Enjoyed it.

milk, peppers, cocaine

surprised again that something feels ahead of its time.

love album, but not a blown out mess. Some fun covers, and a very interesting time capsule.

just really solid end to end

Long form Kraur rock

the man understands the vibe.

I have never been a Kanye fan, this was less than mediocre, at least 808s and heartbreak had some consistency. Fuck this guy.

Bowie soul album. Liked it better than station.

bastard only ever wrote hits.

want to see the bright lights is a standout track, with "when I get to the border" as a close second. Everything has a working class charm and edge, the corners aren't smoothed off.

definitely a zz top album. Sounds like zz top.

odd little electronic album, fun drum samples, ethereal vocals, hits some fun breaks. definitely in the realm of IDM, not my favourite kind of electronic music but certainly worth a listen.

smooth and relaxing. Great early morning listen.

weird diversion from what I usually think of as Funkadelic.

excellent. Very percussion forward, jumps into a groove and hangs out there. Almost hypnotic.
