#747 Sheryl Crow – Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow is another artist I have heard of and I have heard a song or two from and thought it was good, but I never actively sought out her music nor have I ever listened to an album from her. Tuesday Night Music Club is her debut album. After listening to the album, I […]

#746 Blur – Modern Life Is Rubbish

If you have ever heard of Blur, then perhaps you have heard the ancient battle of the 90s “The Battle of Britpop” between Blur and Oasis. Many suns ago two English bands hit the music scene; Oasis represented the North and Blur the South. Eventually, of Blur’s lead singer Damon Albarn and Oasis’ Liam Gallagher […]

#745 PJ Harvey – Rid of Me

PJ Harvey returns for a second time on 1001 Albums… with her second studio album Rid of Me. The album is listed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. I was not a huge fan of her first album, but I liked it enough to not dread seeing this one on the list. […]

#744 Pet Shop Boys – Very

I was a fan of Pet Shop Boys‘ earlier music, but dare I say they became too gay for me. I think Very was the last album I bought of theirs. I have not heard much from them since this album. I was a fan of synth-pop and techno, which I felt other bands, such […]

#743 Jamiroquai – Emergency on Planet Earth

Jamiroquai is one of the 90s bands that I have heard and I have always thought they suck. I never liked lead singer Jay Kay’s vocals. Their debut release Emergency on Planet Earth was not an album I would ever buy. I thought the British funk/acid jazz band tried too hard. As I suspected, I […]

#742 Nirvana – In Utero

Nirvana‘s final album In Utero was released in 1993. I was a fan of theirs. I even saw them in concert before the end of the year. I think this album was harder and rawer than their previous album Nevermind. I wonder how they would sound today if Kurt Cobain had not killed himself in […]

#741 Grant Lee Buffalo – Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo is another name I have heard of, but I did not know he was a musician. His debut album Fuzzy was released in 1993. Michael Stipe declared it the best album of the year. I made an error. Grant Lee Phillips is the singer/guitarist of the band Grant Lee Buffalo. Paul Kimball […]

#740 Aimee Mann – Whatever

I was a fan of Aimee Mann when she first hit the scene in ’til tuesday. I bought all three of their albums. I was a but sad that they parted ways. I also bought Mann’s first solo effort Whatever. She has recorded nine studio albums as of 2017. My favourite songs are “I Should’ve […]

#739 The Afghan Whigs – Gentlemen

I have never heard anything from The Afghan Whigs. Supposedly they were influence in music, especially their fourth album Gentlemen. They disbanded in 2001, but since have reunited in 2014. Never say never. Singer Greg Dulli has a decent voice at times, but sometimes he sounds strained and I find it irritating. The music is […]

#738 Liz Phair – Exile in Guyville

Liz Phair is one of the artist I am almost sure I will not like. I have never heard her debut album Exile in Guyville, which was her biggest success, especially critically. Her sales have gone progressively downhill. I think she is working on something new for her few remains fans. I hated this album. […]
