#230 Joni Mitchell – Blue

Joni Mitchell is an artist I have heard about a lot, but I have never listened to her music. I know of artist who have sampled her songs. Blue is her fourth studio album. I hope this one is great because of the build up from other artist I like. Blue is my favourite colour so […]

#229 Leonard Cohen – Songs of Love and Hate

Leonard Cohen has not been an artist that I have yet to appreciate. I do not like his voice. His third studio album Songs of Love and Hate might be a game changer. I like songs about love. And songs about hate. Honestly, I could not wait for it to be over. The music is good, but the […]

#228 Rod Stewart – Every Picture Tells a Story

Every Picture Tells a Story is the third solo album of Rod Stewart. I think I mentioned that I am a huge Stewart fan, but I have never heard this complete album. I discovered Stewart from my uncle and it was not until one of his later albums. Unfortunately, this is the last Rod Stewart […]

#227 Serge Gainsbourg – Histoire de Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg is one artist I have heard of and I have heard his music. He is probably most famous for “Je t’aime moi non plus” avec Jane Birkin. It is a great song, but super sexy. His album on this list is Histoire de Melody Nelson. I love French language and everything French so […]

#226 Led Zeppelin – The Fourth Album

Is it wrong to title Led Zeppelin‘s album The Fourth Album if it is not actually titled anything? This is their fourth album on the list I think. This is the album everyone wants to hear at some point in their youth. We all know the songs (or should I say the song) on this album. […]

#224 & #225 Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tarkus & Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer put out two albums in 1971. The first album was their second studio album Tarkus, which was considered a failure by some critics and the third album was Pictures At An Exhibition, a live album. ELP is a progressive rock band. I thought Yes did a good job of creating prog rock, but ELP it […]

#223 Don McLean – American Pie

I have only heard one song from Don McLean and it was the same song that the album American Pie gets its name. I am hoping that I will like this album because I need a good album at the moment. I have got the blues. Hopefully, this one-hit wonder can change my mood. American Pie is about “The Day The […]

#222 Dolly Parton – Coat of Many Colors

Coat of Many Colors is the first album from country, pop iconic singer Dolly Parton. Parton is one of those rare artist who has skipped from country music to pop music successful. She has also enjoyed success in films too. Unlike Taylor Swift who did something similar Parton is endearing and has a great personality. […]

#221 Elton John – Madman Across The Water

Madman Across The Water is Elton John‘s fourth studio album. His first album was considered terrible, but things turned around with his self-titled second album. “Your Song” was the B-side to “Take Me to the Pilot” that DJs preferred and it became a hit. The other gem is “The Greatest Discovery“. Madman Across The Water gave his […]

#220 Can – Tago Mago

German experimental rock bands are not something you hear much about in the USA. Krautrock is not popular in the land of the free. It is a pity! Can is one of those bands I have never heard of and wished I had. I have been sitting here writing another blog post and doing some […]
