Favorite Music Video

Day 70: “What’s your favorite music video of all time?” Wow! I have so many videos to choose from. MTV was there for me as a kid. I saw some of the earliest videos on the channel. I saw video kill the radio star. I saw Michael Jackson make history as one of the first […]

#926 Madonna – Music

Madonna‘s Music eight studio album is a surprise for me; I had not expected another album of hers to make it to the list. Sometimes, she is underrated for her music. I think her personality outshines her art. I realized that I have never listened to this album completely yet. I already knew before I listened […]

#869 Madonna – Ray of Light

Madonna. I have already written about her in this list of 1001 Albums… She is one person that has pushed the envelope and people’s buttons throughout her career. She does not possess a filter. Before her seventh album was recorded she had her first child and embraced Kabbalah, studied Hinduism and Buddhism, and practiced Ashtanga […]

#755 William Orbit – Strange Cargo III

I have only heard of William Orbit from all the music he produced with artists like Madonna, Prince, Blur, U2, and many others. I did not know he has quite a few solo albums. He released his fourth album Strange Cargo III in 1993. I am curious to hear his music, especially since I like […]

#730 Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – Henry’s Dream

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds is another band that I have heard of, but once again I do not know their music and I have never heard their seventh studio album Henry’s Dream. The album received mostly favourable reviews. After listening to it, I could not decide how I really felt. I did not […]

#705 Primal Scream – Screamadelica

I have never heard any of Scottish band Primal Scream‘s music. I am not sure why. I often wonder why I skipped some music. I could at least try it. I think the names of some of these bands make me think it is a genre I would hate. Screamadelica is their third album. It was critically […]

#700 Sepultura – Arise

I have never heard the Brazilian band Sepultura. I am not a fan of thrash or death metal so I missed the release of their fourth album Arise. Actually, I missed the release of all their albums. I wonder if the name death metal comes from their concert in Brazil in 1991 where six people were […]

#640 Madonna – Like a Prayer

Madonna. Nothing else needs to be written. She is one of four mega-stars of the 80s: Prince, George Michael, and Michael Jackson dominated the charts and MTV. Her name was already known around the world, but in 1989 her fourth studio album Like a Prayer dominated the the charts of many countries. It was #1 in at […]

#635 Public Enemy – It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

Hip hop artist Public Enemy released their second studio album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in 1988. I have never heard any of their music. I was not a fan of rap. I liked one song “Rapture“, but that was from Blondie. I tuned out rap. I did not have any […]

#567 Beastie Boys – Licensed to Ill

I saw the Beastie Boys in concert around the year Licensed to Ill was released. It was the one time I saw them and Madonna. They are no longer together since Adam Yauch died in 2012 and Madonna is so old now that I am not sure I will ever see her again. It is […]
