#146 Miles Davis – In a Silent Way

And you thought jazz was over. Miles Davis‘ In a Silent Way was released in 1969. This album caused a division among critics. The rock critics loved it because they thought Davis was moving in that direction, but the jazz critics were not happy with that direction. Jazz critics are saying it is not jazz […]

#145 The Who – Tommy

The Who is not a band I am looking forward to listening to again. Before I listen to the album Tommy I will say that Pete Townshend is the talented member of the band. He wrote almost the whole rock opera that tells the story about a “deaf, dumb and blind” boy. Like The Beatles, The […]

#144 The Beatles – Abbey Road

The Beatles are back again. This time with the last album that they recorded together as a band. They would break up the following year. The album cover for Abbey Road is famous because it spawned a theory that Paul McCartney had died and the guy in the photo is an imposter. The first song […]

#143 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival released three albums in one year. Green River is the second one. I cannot believe another album made it on the list of 1001 Albums… I told a couple people about this band being from California and writing songs about the south, but not being from there. We decided it was problematic […]

#142 Johnny Cash – Johnny Cash at San Quentin

Johnny Cash is on the list again. Johnny Cash at San Quentin is similar to his last album on the list. It is a live concert in prison. I hate these types of album. This album has so many things against it before I even listen to it. I do not hear any difference between […]

#141 The Flying Burrito Brothers – The Gilded Palace of Sin

The Gilded Palace of Sin is the debut album from The Flying Burrito Brother. This group was made up of band members from The Byrds. They do not stand a chance with me. Their last album was heading into country music. I want to know who paid everyone from Rolling Stone magazine to 1001 Albums […]

#140 Blood, Sweat & Tears

Blood, Sweat & Tears is one of those bands I have never heard before yet they had a number 1 album and won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. I am confused because I thought it was going to be rock music, but it is jazz rock. “Variations on a Theme By Erik Satie” […]

#139 Crosby, Stills And Nash

I had hoped that I would never have to listen to David Crosby sing again. I really do not care about hearing about his love of three-way sex. But here he is again in another group. Crosby, Stills And Nash released their debut self-titled album in 1969. I noticed that there are a few groups […]

#138 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival is a band that I have heard of, but I am not sure if I have heard their music. Bayou Country is their second album together. The problem with it is that they originated from California. They are singing and playing swamp rock and Southern rock. Isn’t that considered cultural appropriation? Maybe […]

#137 Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band – Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band reminds me of The Mothers of Invention, Frank Zappa who produced their album Trout Mask Replica and Primus’s lovechild if all those guys could have a baby, but real mean cannot carry a baby. I knew from the album’s title that it was going to be weird. I was […]
