#321 Gene Clark – No Other

Former Byrds‘ member Gene Clark released No Other is 1974 to critical success only. I have not been a fan of The Byrds, but I am willing to give Clark a chance, even though the album is a bit country music. Hopefully, the rock music will be more prevalent. Clark was extremely disappointed in the failure of […]

#236 Gene Clark – White Light

Sometimes I want to skip an album that I know without reservation I will hate it. White Light is one of those albums. How do I know that? Gene Clark is a country singer. The only country singer I sort of liked was Dolly Parton. Okay, I should have read more of the bio on […]

#206 David Crosby – If I Could Only Remember My Name

If I Could Only Remember My Name is the fist solo album from David Crosby of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and of The Byrds. Hopefully, it will be the only album of his I will have to suffer through. It is quite hilarious that his album is today. Two days ago a friend tried […]

#141 The Flying Burrito Brothers – The Gilded Palace of Sin

The Gilded Palace of Sin is the debut album from The Flying Burrito Brother. This group was made up of band members from The Byrds. They do not stand a chance with me. Their last album was heading into country music. I want to know who paid everyone from Rolling Stone magazine to 1001 Albums […]

#133 The Byrds – Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds! Oh good God, what are they doing on this list again? This is getting ridiculous. The guys who put this book together definitely have special feelings for The Byrds. I will listen to Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, but I can almost guarantee that I will not like it. This is their sixth album and they decided […]

#119 The Byrds – The Notorious Byrd Brothers

Oh good Lord. The Byrds again. How many albums must I suffer through from them? The Notorious Byrd Brothers is their fourth album on the list. Notorious is a great title for the album due to the fact that there was a rotating door for the band members during the recording of the album. It […]

#94 The Byrds

The Byrds again? Noooooooo! I have not liked any of their albums on this list. I highly doubt Younger Than Yesterday will change my mind. Does anyone like this band? Does anyone listen to any of this music? Am I alone? The albums begins badly with “So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star“. They decided to […]

1001 Albums #85

The Beau Brummels fourth album Triangle came out to critical acclaim, but the fountain of hit singles did not follow the great reviews. Vocalist Sal Valentino would get comparisons to Bob Dylan and Gene Clark of The Byrds. I can tell you that he is a better singer than Clark. The album triangles on three genres: country rock, folk rock and psychedelic pop […]

1001 Albums #63

The Byrds again. Some of these groups are over-represented in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The Byrds should not have another album in the list. If I were in charge I would delete the album Fifth Dimension. It sounds exactly like their previous album. I listened to the Byrds in the hopes that this would be better than the last album, but I had the same thought. Many of these songs sound like “Turn! Turn! Turn!” It seems […]

1001 Albums #57

The Byrds is for the birds. I do not get it. Mr. Tambourine Man was murdered by them, but not in a good way. They are so boring. I did not like one song. I will not waste your time talking about them. I will say they are better than Joan Baez. I would rather talk about a duo who came out the same year […]
