1001 Albums Summary

6 out of the 8 songs on this album are *immediately* recognizable (and total bangers). Plus, the drums on When the Levee Breaks might be the heaviest sounding drums ever put to tape. A remarkable record.

Back half much stronger than the first. Too many songs sound the same. A strong 6 / light 7, bumped up to an 8 by the presence of Me and Bobby McGee and Mercedes Benz.
