#373 Electric Light Orchestra – Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra’s Out Of The Blue is the first and only album on the list of 1001 Albums… I would have included Discovery, maybe A New World Record or perhaps A New World Record. ELO definitely picked up where The Beatles left off, but went to another universe. I am a huge fan of their 70s […]

#372 Bob Marley & The Wailers – Exodus

Exodus might be the last Bob Marley & The Wailer‘s album on the list. It might be a better album than the last one I reviewed. I actually recognise a few of the song titles. I am a little excited to listen to it again. I know I listened to it as a teenager because […]

#371 Billy Joel – The Stranger

The Stranger from Billy Joel is an album I know unfortunately. My first real girlfriend loved Billy Joel. We could say she had bad taste in men. I never understood why she liked me and Billy Joel. He is like the poor man’s Bruce Springsteen, if Springsteen played the piano and sang about the working […]

#370 Kraftwerk – Trans-Europe Express

Trans-Europe Express from Kraftwerk is an album I have heard of and possibly listened to once at some point. I know I met someone once who liked them and he played it for me. It was not a friend, but someone that enter my life briefly and disappeared quickly. That is the story of my […]

#369 Brian Eno – Before And After Science

Before And After Science is the fifth studio album of Brian Eno and the third album of five on 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. I loved the first album, but the last went down a bit for me. I wonder if this can compete with his previous works. Some critics think this […]

#368 Peter Frampton – Frampton Comes Alive

Frampton Comes Alive is one of those iconic albums that I have heard about, but I am not sure I have ever heard the whole album. It seems as though Peter Frampton was not able to replicate it and he kind of disappeared. He has played on other artist’s work, such as David Bowie, but […]

#367 Stevie Wonder – Songs in the Key of Life

Songs in the Key of Life is not an album I am looking forward to listening to. I have had enough of Stevie Wonder. He is one of my least favourite artist ever. I do not like his voice at all. It sounds like he is barely singing. He talk sings and whines. The most popular songs […]

#366 Peter Tosh – Legalize It

Peter Tosh‘s Legalize It seems almost pointless since Bob Marley is listed for his reggae music prior to 1976. Besides having reggae music in common, they both want to smoke marijuana a lot. Tosh wants it to be legalised. His wish came true in parts of the USA. He was murdered during a home invasion in 1987. […]

#365 Fela Kuti – Zombie

Fela Kuti‘s Zombie is just that to me. It is like listening to dead music. It was so boring I will not even bore you will I real review. I do not like Afrobeats, as this genre is named. It drones on too long for me. Both songs are just under 13 minutes. I would rather […]

#364 Ramones – Ramones

The Ramones are often called the first punk rock band. All the members took on the last name Ramone. One member was Hungarian, Tommy Ramone, but he was actually Jewish. His family left during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. All of the original members are dead. Best songs are: “Blitzkrieg Bop“, “Beat on the Brat“, “Judy […]
