1001 Albums Summary

Easily one of the best albums ever recorded. Makes me realize that there are at least 4 Pink Floyd albums that I would rate 5/5 stars. Listening with good headphones/speakers is a must. So many cool details, perfect melodies, and the best sounding synths I’ve ever heard on a rock album, by far.

Okay, I swear I’m not gonna rate every one of these 5/5, but come on.

One of those albums I don’t return to often, but each time I do appreciate it more, and wonder why it’s not in my rotation more regularly. One of the most 90s sounding 80s records I’ve heard.

Still my favorite Sabbath. One of those records I’m always in the mood for. Everything about this is perfect, even by today’s standards; cannot fathom how mind-blowing this would have been back in 1970. Easy to see how influential this was, but I honestly wish we had more music coming out today that sounds closer to this particular album.

Nothing quite like the atmosphere of this album. So good that I ended up listening to Cocteau Twins all day!

Wow, didn’t expect to love this as much as I did. Perfect disco!

So good that I immediately listened to the entire Live at Wembley 1974 recording as soon as side B ended. There aren’t many full albums that I would choose to listen to multiple times consecutively, but between this and Black Sabbath this list has given us two so far!
