#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 […]

#524 Paul Simon – Hearts and Bones

Paul Simon again? He seems overrated to me. Hearts and Bones is his sixth solo album. I guess somebody thinks he should be overly represented on the list of 1001 Albums… The first song “Allergies” was quite ridiculous. I wondered how did anyone think this was good. I often wonder when I listen to a great […]

#523 Cyndi Lauper – She’s So Unusual

I knew Cyndi Lauper‘s debut album She’s So Unusual had to be on the list. I am surprised that Madonna’s debut album is not because it was something new at the time. I remember both albums coming out in 1983 and I thought Lauper would be around a lot longer, although I was a huge fan […]

#522 Hanoi Rocks – Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish rock band and Back to Mystery City was their fourth album. This album is not on Spotify so I had to search for it on YouTube. I do not have confidence that I will like this because Axl Rose does. Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe has a connection to this band. […]

#521 The Blue Nile – A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile is a band that sounds familiar in name, but I could not name one song so it is possible that I have never heard their music. Their debut album A Walk Across The Rooftops was released in 1984 according to everything, except for the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. […]

#520 Tom Waits – Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits has already been on the list two times so I really do not have much to say. I have never heard of his album Swordfishtrombones. I wonder if he will be good in the experimental rock genre. I accidentally listened to Waits’ album with Crystal Gayle One From the Heart. It is a […]

#519 The The – Soul Mining

Soul Mining from synth-pop/post-punk band The The is definitely something I have heard a lot. The only thing I wish I could change about them is their name. It is a bit weird. It is my least favourite English word. It sounds like baby or a moron talking: da da. I remember when I first […]

#518 R.E.M. – Murmur

R.E.M. is definitely a band I have heard of and listened to a lot. I was a big fan. Unfortunately, I never saw them in concert and since they disbanded I never will. I do not like seeing bands where the members are too old to sing anyway. If you are a singer and your voice has faded […]
