#136 Neil Young with Crazy Horse – Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is Neil Young‘s second studio album and his first with his backing band Crazy Horse. I am aware of Young because I do know one of his songs “Harvest Moon“, which was popular in the early 90s. It is a really beautiful song with melancholy music to fit his lyrics […]

#135 The Mothers of Invention – We’re Only In It For The Money

I am not surprise to find another album from The Mothers of Invention on the list of 1001 Albums… The people who put together this book do like some crappy music. We’re Only In It For The Money is a satirical album of the left and the right side of American politics and The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s […]

#134 The Beatles

The Beatles ninth album is self-titled, but it became known as The White Album. It was riddled with turmoil and Yoko Ono-ism. John Lennon had started dating her and she already had influence over him. He must have been a weak man. The album explodes with a Paul McCartney tune “Back in the U.S.S.R.“. This song […]

#133 The Byrds – Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds! Oh good God, what are they doing on this list again? This is getting ridiculous. The guys who put this book together definitely have special feelings for The Byrds. I will listen to Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, but I can almost guarantee that I will not like it. This is their sixth album and they decided […]

#132 Van Morrison – Astral Weeks

I have a fear of disappointing people and this review might disappoint someone I know. It is for the album Astral Weeks the second release of Van Morrison. I was anticipating that I would love this album. I listened to it three or four times. I did not love it, but I did not hate it. […]

#131 The Zombies – Odessey and Oracle

Odessey and Oracle is the second album from The Zombies an English band that broke up after recording it. It seems to be a trend of the 60s. It is ridiculous how most of these groups did not make it out of the 60s. I wonder if it will be similar for the 70s. I […]

#130 Scott Walker – Scott 2

Scott Walker deserves the medal for the least creative album title Scott 2. I believe titles are everything. If you want me to read something the title has to interest me first. That is one reason I changed the titles for this music series. Another important thing for me is the album cover art and Walker’s […]

#129 Caetano Veloso

Caetano Veloso released his second album self-titled in 1968. I am fairly certain I will hate this album because it is Brazilian tropicália music. Veloso has stated that he did not like it either so we have something in common. I started and stopped this album a few times. It is so boring, especially the […]

#128 Jeff Beck – Truth

Jeff Beck? How did he make it on the list I wondered. He is known for his guitar work. I hope this is not a guitar album. I do not want to listen to someone just playing the guitar for one hour. That is my truth, but I hope Beck’s first solo album Truth is similar. […]

#127 The Band – Music from Big Pink

Music from Big Pink is from The Band. Who is The Band? They were Bob Dylan’s touring band in 1965 and for his world tour in 1966. Dylan supported them as a band and even collaborated with them during their time together. The album cover is part of Bob Dylan’s contribution to The Band. He […]
