#535 Cocteau Twins – Treasure

Finally, an album Treasure that I know from a long time ago from the Scottish band Cocteau Twins. There are many genres affiliated with the band such as ethereal wave, gothic rock and the most commonly used dream pop. For me the album always kicked into gear with the second track “Lorelei“. It was a beautiful song […]

#533 Run–D.M.C. – Run–D.M.C.

Run–D.M.C. is on the list? I hate rap, especially early rap or hip hop, except for the Beastie Boys and some Eminem. I will say it is definitely better than country music, except when the talk about their hoes, killing and drugs. Hopefully, their first self-titled album is the only one listed. I was going […]

#532 Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Welcome to the Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood is a band (or is it a group?) that I have heard of because they had one to two hit songs. I am surprised they made it on the list. They had one of the best dance songs of 1984 or 1985, depending on who you were and where you were […]

#531 Culture Club – Colour By Numbers

Culture Club‘s Colour By Numbers made the list; I was surprised it was not their debut album Kissing to Be Clever, but after looking at the song list to it, I remembered it was not a masterpiece. This was the pinnacle of their short-lived fame. Sure their follow-up has “The War Song”, but it was a […]

#530 Meat Puppets – Meat Puppets II

I have never heard the Meat Puppets’ music before today. I have discovered that the band Nirvana was a big fan of their music. Meat Puppets II is their second studio album. It is labeled as cowpunk and psychedelic music. That is not encouraging for me. I did not like this album because of its […]

#529 The Police – Synchronicity

The Police‘s Synchronicity was one of my favourite albums of 1983, but unfortunately it was their last album together. I was heartbroken. There were a few bands/artists I was a huge fan of around this time: The Cars, Blondie, Journey, Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Nicks and of course The Police. I think The Police was […]

#528 U2 – War

U2 finally made it on the list of 1001 Albums… I must ask a question first. “How the hell is War on the list and Boy is not?” Boy is equally as incredible as War. I listened to Boy more than War when I was growing up. The editor of 1001 Albums… is an idiot. I was […]

#527 Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is an album I have definitely heard. It was their second studio album. I was a fan of them from the first time I saw one of their videos. In the USA, people were a bit behind in thinking and they thought Annie Lennox was a transvestite. It was a little controversy. […]

#526 ZZ Top – Eliminator

ZZ Top‘s Eliminator was not an album that I would have listened to if it had not been on MTV. They played it out, in my opinion. It was good for its time in history, but could does it stand the test of time? It is their eighth album. There were several hits on this […]

#525 Echo & The Bunnymen – Porcupine

Echo & The Bunnymen have made it again on the list with Porcupine their third album. I hope this is one of their better albums. I was only mildly interested in them, especially their song “Bring on the Dancing Horses”. It was my favourite from them. I was not really into this album. It seems […]
