#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 […]

#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 […]
