The Kinks made a change in their type of music with 1966’s album Face To Face. They moved away from beat music to rock music and baroque pop. Was it a good change? It got this album on the list of 1001 Albums… and it is considered one of the first concept rock albums. I […]
Read More 1001 Albums #66The Monks first album Black Monk Time was the only album they recorded. The album was released in 1966 and they disbanded a year later. From the minute the first song “Monk Time” begins I am thinking is this from the 60s. The music sounds like it comes from a later time period. It reminds me of Einstürzende Neubauten a German band […]
Read More 1001 Albums #65Bob Dylan again. Okay, I do not mind Dylan being repeated. I am excited to listen to Blonde on Blonde. I am not sure if anything will surpass The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, but I can hope. To be honest, he has not had a disappointing album yet. But it has happened even with some of my favourite artist. “Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35” is the Dylan […]
Read More 1001 Albums #64The 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 […]
Read More 1001 Albums #63Fred Neil’s self-titled album is not easy to find anywhere. He was never successful as a folk artist. He spent his life trying to preserve the life of dolphins. Thank God. His music is interesting in the first song “Dolphins”, but the lyrics and his voice does not help me like the song. It sounds […]
Read More 1001 Albums #62The Beach Boys again. I am starting to see trend here. Can Pet Sounds do for The Beach Boys what Revolver did for The Beatles? I hated all The Beatles music until my last review. Can The Beach Boys turn my feelings around. Pet Sounds is one of the most highly regarded albums of all-time. We shall see. “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” is creepy. I can picture this song in the opening of a film about […]
Read More 1001 Albums #61The Beatles again. Revolver is their seventh studio album. It is unlike any of the previous six albums. It has unique sound effects, Indian flavour and psychedelic induced drug trips. All that in one year’s time. How is it possible that bands in the 60s produced some many albums and today we have to wait at least three years or […]
Read More 1001 Albums #60The Who’s My Generation is one of the most overrated albums ever. My prior knowledge of The Who is from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, an American television series. Their opening song is “Who Are You“. I had a hard time listening to this album. I thought they were trying to sound like different bands. In one song, I thought it was The Rolling […]
Read More 1001 Albums #59When I saw Bob Dylan on the list again, I suddenly got a chill. I was excited. I felt something I do not feel often. I felt I was about to listen to a friend talk to me about life, love, and things I would keep in my heart forever. Here comes Highway 61 Revisited. […]
Read More 1001 Albums #58The 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 […]
