1001 Albums Summary

Great vibes. Amazing that Stevie played almost all the instruments on this album. Perfect length (9 songs, 44 minutes). Higher Ground and Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing are obviously the most popular songs from this album. However, I think my favorite song was Living For the City.

I grew up listening to CCR's Greatest Hits. I've always loved John Fogerty's voice and straightforward rock and roll arrangements. This is a short album! 9 songs under 30 minutes. They paved the way for The Strokes' Is This It album! Almost every song is great but I'd say Lodi is my favorite one from this album. I'd give this album a 3.5 stars.

I love Led Zeppelin and LOVE this album cover. However, I struggled to really get into this album. Clearly the musicianship is there. However, it's such a long album and really more of a jam session for these guys. Too much brilliance crammed into one album. 15 songs at 1 hour 22 minutes is a lot to take in. There are strong points though. Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir is a brilliant three song run in the album. The Wanton Song is fun but Black Country Woman might be the secret gem of this album. I give this album 3.5 stars.

There’s a reason why this album is the voice of a generation. The sound was unbelievable in 1991 and it still is today. There are probably 7-8 VERY strong songs on here (radio friendly). The writing of Kurt has aged like fine wine. I do feel that Nirvana gets the Jimi Hendrix treatment but regardless of that, this album still hits on all cylinders. My only gripe is that it’s 2 songs too long. I give it a 4.5 star rating.

Definitely not my vibe but I know it was part of the 90's Britpop sensation. Alright is a banger for sure.

Absolutely LOVED this album. Brilliant.
