#323 Randy Newman – Good Old Boys

Randy Newman’s Good Old Boys is not something that I want to listen to. I have never liked his voice. Who keeps this guy working when there are much better singers and musicians. His songs are so freaking goofy. This was supposed to be a concept album of an everyman of the Deep South, a redneck. […]

#322 Steely Dan – Pretzel Logic

I have heard of Steely Dan, but I have not heard of his album Pretzel Logic. I always liked his name Steely, but I thought Dan was a funny last name. This is their third of four albums in the list. I hope this is better than their last album in the list. “Rikki Don’t […]

#321 Gene Clark – No Other

Former Byrds‘ member Gene Clark released No Other is 1974 to critical success only. I have not been a fan of The Byrds, but I am willing to give Clark a chance, even though the album is a bit country music. Hopefully, the rock music will be more prevalent. Clark was extremely disappointed in the failure of […]

#320 George Jones – The Grand Tour

The Grand Tour is the only album from country singer George Jones. Everyone knows I hate country music. I am sure I will hate this as with the next five or six albums in the list of 1001 Albums… What can I say about this country music? A billion cats died to make it. I […]

#318 10cc – Sheet Music

10cc has one of the best songs ever, but it is not on the album Sheet Music. The best song is “I’m Not in Love” and it is on The Original Soundtrack. I wonder if this is a case of the wrong album listed in the book of 1001 Albums… This is the weirdest album on […]

#317 Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson – Winter in America

Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson‘s Winter in America is an album of 70s jazz, soul and blues mixed into a story of the inner city. I know of Scott-Heron because of his most famous song “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised“. The album will not be played on Spotify. I like the music better than the vocals. […]

#316 Richard & Linda Thompson – I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

I have never heard of I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight, but I have heard of Richard & Linda Thompson. The are folk musicians so I am not sure how I will feel about it. Folk music is a hit and miss with me. The songs I like are “When I Get to […]

#315 Supertramp – Crime Of The Century

Crime Of The Century is the first and only album from Supertramp on the list. Oddly, it is not their biggest album. Their biggest album was released in 1979, Breakfast in America. I do not know any of the titles of their songs, but I know their name. This is an album for prog and art rock […]

#314 Sparks – Kimono My House

Sparks is a band I remember vaguely from the 80s. Really vaguely. I could not name one of their songs. Kimono My House is a funny title for an album, but since they are an art rock band it makes sense. I am excited to see what they created back in 1974. Their music is […]

#313 Tangerine Dream – Phaedra

Phaedra is the only entry from German electronic band Tangerine Dream. They are a band I knew of many years ago. I wish I could remember who first turned me onto their music, but I cannot think of anyone. I think I discovered them on my own. I like this type of music. I really cannot […]
