…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).

#673 Pet Shop Boys – Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys are back for a second time on the list with their fourth studio album Behaviour. Honestly, I think lost interest in their music by the time this album came out. I had moved on to other dance artist. I know they had something later that I might have liked, but I really […]

#672 Digital Underground – Sex Packet

I have never heard of Digital Underground. Sex Packet was their debut album. They changed the lineup with every album. The only mainstay was mainstay was Humpty Hump as he was known, but his real name was Greg “Shock G” Jacobs. The album went platinum. I hated this crap. The minute the first song started I realised that […]

#671 Megadeth – Rust In Peace

Megadeth‘s Rust In Peace is their fourth studio album and their second album on the list of 1001 Albums… This album was universally acclaimed and often listed as one of the best thrash metal albums ever. I was not impressed with their music on the last album so I have my doubts. Lead singer Dave […]

#670 Pixies – Bossanova

Another Pixies album? I think they made too many albums too close together. I get burnt out when an artist does that. Bossanova was their third album in three years and it is their third on the list. At first I was not enjoying this album, but that all changed on “All Over the World“. It […]

#669 Depeche Mode – Violator

If there was an album I was hoping to see on the list it was Depeche Mode‘s 1990 hit album Violator. This album and The Cure’s Disintegration are two albums from this time period that take me back in time to a place where I felt free and I felt love, a tainted love, but […]

#668 The Black Crowes – Shake Your Money Maker

I remember being a fan of The Black Crowes from their first album Shake Your Money Maker. They released it in 1990 and became America’s favourite new rock band. I wonder what happens that I sometimes stop listening to a band after a few albums. Is it that they do not grow in their sound […]

#667 The La’s – The La’s

The La’s eponymous debut album is known for having the great song that became more famous for its cover version. They are known as a one-album wonder. Vocalist, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist Lee Mavers is a bit of a recluse and a perfectionist so another album is highly unlikely. Mavers was disappointed with every producer […]

#666 Deee-Lite – World Clique

Deee-Lite was a group that I listened to in 1990. I think I owned their first three albums. I definitely bought World Clique in 1990. New Yorkers Deee-Lite took over house music and gave it their own flair of sound and fashion. This was a great album. I still like “Groove Is In The Heart“. Other great […]

#665 The Shamen – En-Tact

The Shamen is a band I have heard of, but only a little. En-Tact was their third studio album release. Their only hit in the U.S.A. was “Move Any Mountain“, which was included on this album for the U.S. version. It is the one song that I did not like. I think I liked “Hear Me O My People […]

#664 Cocteau Twins – Heaven or Las Vegas

Heaven or Las Vegas is the second album from Scottish rock band Cocteau Twins to be on the list. It was their most successful album. It was their sixth studio album. I recognise the cover art, but I do not recognise the track listing. I might have missed it. I think I was heavily into The Cure, […]
