#1060 David Bowie – The Next Day

I think I stopped listening to new David Bowie music at the beginning of the 90s. I am not sure why. I think I do with all artists eventually. I move on to something more exciting. I think musicians who put out too many albums become boring to me. I do miss the days when […]

#1056 Jack White – Blunderbuss

Jack White was the one that was in a band, which I couldn’t remember the name of when I was writing the review on The Black Keys. I always mix the two bands up. Blunderbuss is White’s debut solo album. I probably will not like it because I never liked his voice. I did not […]

#988 The Beta Band – Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band released their third and final album Heroes to Zeros is 2004. They disbanded the same year due to financial troubles with their record label. Radiohead and Oasis expressed admiration for the band. My favourite songs were “Assessment”, “Pure For”, “Space”, “Wonderful”, and the rest of the album. I actually added the whole […]

#933 Ryan Adams – Gold

Ryan Adams is back with his second album on the list and his second studio album in his career: Gold. As you may know I hate country music, but Adams is not really country. He is rock and alternative country. Some critics have classified him as Americana, which is a blend of different genres. My favourite […]

#929 Radiohead – Amnesiac

Amnesiac is Radiohead‘s fourth album on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was included in the 2005 version, but it was removed from later editions. Some fans were disappointed that the band did not return to its former style. I prefer this Radiohead over the rock one. I like […]

#807 Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill

I could not wait to hear Alanis Morissette album Jagged Little Pill again. It was a super huge album in 1995. It sold over 33 million copies worldwide, which makes it one of the best-selling albums of all time. If I am completely honest, I did not like Morissette at first. I think I liked […]

#257 Stephen Stills – Manassas

Stephen Stills is back one more time with Manassas his solo, but not exactly album. It might be the name of the band too. I read conflicting things. He has a lot of his musician friends playing with him on this album. The album is divided into four parts. Side one – The Raven: This […]

1001 Albums #50

Bringing It All Back Home is the fifth studio album from Bob Dylan. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I saw another album of his on the list. I was surprised that the book and other critics skipped his two albums from 1964 The Times They Are a-Changin’ and Another Side of Bob Dylan. It seems they were not well loved. I will skip them for now, but return to them at a later date. Dylan fans were not happy […]

1001 Albums #2

When I saw that Elvis Presley’s first album was the second one on the list I felt relieved. I know who he is because my grandfather watched his films all the time while he was getting his drinking done. I know a lot of Presley’s songs and he is the “King of Rock and Roll.” […]
