…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).

#305 Stevie Wonder – Fullfillingness’ First Finale

If I ever thought an artist was overrated it was Stevie Wonder. Sure, there are others such as, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Gaga and Beyonce, but Wonder is thought of as great by people who matter. Those who think those four females are great do not matter. Fullfillingness’ First Finale is Wonder’s most somber album I […]

#304 Shuggie Otis – Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis is a virtually unknown artist to me. I found out that he wrote the hit song “Strawberry Letter 23”, which became a hit for The Brothers Johnson in 1977. Otis was of age during this recording so he took control and even produced the album himself. This is psychedelic soul. The album is so smooth. […]

#303 Genesis – The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

I was not a fan of the previous album from Genesis so I am not sure that I will like The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. This is the last album with Peter Gabriel. Phil Collins will take over the vocals in the next album, but this is the last we will see of Genesis […]

#302 Bad Company

Bad Company is a band I have heard before, especially their 1975 second album Straight Shooter. I have not heard this album Bad Company, which is on the list. I cannot imagine the debut album is as good, but I will give it a chance. Hit single from Straight Shooter This album’s hit song is “Can’t […]

#301 Eno – Here Come the Warm Jets

Here Come the Warm Jets is Brian Eno’s debut solo album. Eno was the moniker he used for his first three albums only. Eno had left Roxy Music in 1973 because of differences with Bryan Ferry. I expect this album to have a Roxy Music sound-ish. “Needles in the Camel’s Eye” proves me right in […]

#300 The New York Dolls

The New York Dolls debut album is one that I have never heard. In fact, I have barely heard of the band. They are the frontrunners in the early punk rock scenes of the 70s. They inspired many punk bands of the later 70s, such as the Sex Pistols, Kiss and the Ramones. Todd Rundgren was […]

#299 The Isley Brothers – 3+3

The Isley Brothers‘ 3+3 album adds three family members to the brothers. They continue with their sound of funk, soul and rock. Disco is really close by. The Brothers like weird titles, as with “That Lady, Pt. 1 & 2“. Their other albums include songs with a Pt. 1 & 2, at least every album I […]

#298 Iggy and the Stooges – Raw Power

Raw Power is the third entry from Iggy and the Stooges. This album was a reunion of sorts with The Stooges. David Bowie did the final mix on the album, but many years later Iggy Pop did another mix of it. There has been a consensus that Bowie’s version was terrible until Pop remixed it. […]

#297 Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies

Billion Dollar Babies is the final album from Alice Cooper to make the list of 1001 Albums… I know he has some great songs after this period because I discovered him later in his career. My mother had a 45 of “Only Women Bleed“. I had a record of his song “How You Gonna See Me Now” […]

#296 The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – Next

Next is what I would like to say instead of listening to this album from The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Time is short and there are a few albums on here that I felt nothing on the first listen so I gave them a second one. This is one of those albums. After a second […]
