#597 Butthole Surfers – Locust Abortion Technician

I cannot believe the Butthole Surfers have an album on the list. I would think one Butthole album would be too many Butthole albums. I know their name from Eric. I remember him playing piouhgd. Locust Abortion Technician is their third album and it was before I met Eric. I am curious to see if I think […]

#596 Hüsker Dü – Warehouse: Songs & Stories

Warehouse: Songs & Stories is the final album of 80s band Hüsker Dü. I have never heard of any of their music until today. I thought they were some kind of heavy punk or rock music, but this double album is filled with alternative rock. I also did not know this is where Bob Mould started […]

#595 George Michael – Faith

George Michael‘s Faith was not an album I owned nor was it one that I gravitated toward at the time of its release. I did like a couple of Wham!’s songs, especially from Music from the Edge of Heaven. George Michael knew that he was not being taken serious as an artist in the band […]

#594 Sisters of Mercy – Floodland

Sisters of Mercy‘s Floodland is an album I definitely owned. In one of my many characters I was a goth kid. I might have seen them during their tour in the 90s. I saw quite a few concerts that I do not remember. I was really into this band because it was so dark and […]

#593 Depeche Mode – Music For The Masses

Depeche Mode is a band that I have heard of many times over. I am a fan. I only wish I had seen them in concert. Somehow I have missed every tour they have done. One of these days I will see them. It seems almost silly to review Music For The Masses from 1987. I […]

#592 The Cult – Electric

The Cult is a band that I may have heard of one of their songs. I am certain I have never heard their 1987 album Electric. I am surprised that I have never listened to them since they play hard rock music. I am sure that I had a short term friend during this period […]

#591 Prince – Sign o’ the Times

Prince‘s Sign o’ the Times is not an album I expected to see on the list of 1001 Albums. I was a huge fan of Prince, but I really had forgotten this album. I think I rarely ever listened to it. I definitely think of my former friend Roger. He was the biggest Prince freak […]

#590 R.E.M. – Document

Document is R.E.M.‘s second album on the list. It is their first album which they co-produced. This was their first platinum album and it gave them their first hit single. They were moving into the spotlight. They remind of my best friend from the early 90s. He was a big fan of the band. Actually, I […]

#589 Def Leppard – Hysteria

Def Leppard was one of my favourite bands of the 80s. In 1987 they released Hysteria, one of the best albums of the 80s. This album had so many hits singles that I lost count of them. This is the product of a great band, hard work and the talented producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange. The […]

#588 Trio – Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt

Trio was a country album from three artist Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. I have heard and really like Ronstadt and Parton. I only know who Harris is because she has an album on this list. My mother listened to to Ronstadt when I was little and I liked her songs. I am […]
