#425 Brian Eno – Ambient 1: Music for Airports

Ambient 1: Music for Airports is Brian Eno‘s sixth album and the first album to be labeled as ambient music. I have heard of this album and probably heard it at some point in my youth. I just do not remember, perhaps after listening my memory will be returned. Trivia: The album was installed at the Marine […]

#424 X-Ray Spex – Germ-Free Adolescent

I have never heard of X-Ray Spex. Sometimes I like when I hear a band from the past, but sometimes things are better left unheard. I hope the album Germ-Free Adolescents is the former case. I know they are supposedly a punk band with a female lead. That could be disastrous. Oh wow! I hated this […]

#423 Chic – C’est Chic

In music history there are many famous duos such as McCartney and Lennon, Simon and Garfunkel and one that was overlooked in the 70s and 80s was Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers of Chic. Today, Rodgers is seen as a music genius of his time, unfortunately Edwards passed away in the 90s so he did […]

#422 Willie Nelson – Stardust

Willie Nelson’s Stardust is not an album I wish to listen to ever. I am not a fan of country music and definitely not a fan of his voice. This album is better than I thought it would be, but that is not saying much. The only thing that is better is that the music […]

#421 Marvin Gaye – Here, My Dear

Of course Marvin Gaye should make it on the list again. He was the king of soul music in the 70s. Gaye’s fifteenth studio album Here, My Dear was critically panned and a commercial failure during its release in 1978. It is a personal album about the divorce he was going through with his wife […]

#420 The Saints – Eternally Yours

The Saints‘s Eternally Yours is the second album from the band who came from a land down under. Oddly, I have never heard of them, but they are given a lot of credit for punk outside of the U.S.A. This album had more of a R&B-driven sound and according to the band it confused people. […]

#419 Dire Straits – Dire Straits

Dire Straits is not a band I have ever liked. I hated their hit song “Money for Nothing“. MTV wore it out. Mark Knopfler’s vocals sound like he is singing in a pub which has about five drunk guest and one bartender wondering where he went wrong. The only song I really like is “Wild […]

#418 Devo – Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!

Devo is one of those bands I heard growing up and I liked every song that I heard, but I only heard a few songs. I have heard one song from their popular album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!. Unfortunately, I never listen to the rest of it. “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” […]

#417 The Cars – The Cars

If there was an album I could not wait to listen to again it would be The Cars‘ self-titled debut album. I was a huge fan of their music. I actually met them once. I did not even ask for their autograph since I am not into that sort of thing. They are pure magic. […]

#416 Ruben Blades & Willie Colón – Siembra

Ruben Blades & Willie Colón‘s Siembra is considered the best selling salsa album in the history of salsa records. I hate Spanish music and salsa. Do not think that means that hate Spanish people because I do not at all. I am not fond of their language. I prefer French. I give this album a hard […]
