#933 Ryan Adams – Gold

Ryan Adams is back with his second album on the list and his second studio album in his career: Gold. As you may know I hate country music, but Adams is not really country. He is rock and alternative country. Some critics have classified him as Americana, which is a blend of different genres. My favourite […]

#932 Gorillaz – Gorillaz

Gorillaz self-titled debut album was released in 2001. They were an instant hit. Guinness World Records list them as the world’s “Most Successful Virtual Band”. In reality, they have only one constant musician member; Damon Albarn of Blur. I think I did not hear much of this album in Europe when it was released. I discovered […]

#931 Björk – Vespertine

I am surprised it took this long for Björk to appear on the list again. Vespertine is the pixie-like singer’s fourth album. It is an album about love. This is Björk’s most personal album at the time of its release. Vulnicura might be her second most personal album. Oddly, both albums have the same subject, American contemporary artist […]

#930 Silver Jews – Bright Flight

Silver Jews is another unknown band to me. They released their fourth album Bright Flight in 2001. There is a good chance that I could like this album, since it is indie rock music. I thought I would like this album, but I honestly found it quite boring. I think the vocals killed it for me. […]

#929 Radiohead – Amnesiac

Amnesiac is Radiohead‘s fourth album on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was included in the 2005 version, but it was removed from later editions. Some fans were disappointed that the band did not return to its former style. I prefer this Radiohead over the rock one. I like […]

#928 Outkast – Stankonia

The name is familiar, but I am not sure if I have heard any of the Outkast‘s music. I am not a hop hop fan. I do not recognise the title of their fourth studio album Stankonia. Strange name. I do know of one member André 3000 because of his work on Gwen Stefani‘s debut album. […]

#927 The Avalanches – Since I Left You

Oddly, I have heard of and listened to The Avalanches. I even had the digital format of their debut album Since I Left You. The Australian electronic music group has only recorded two albums. I think we could call them the Harper Lee of music; it took sixteen years for their second album to be […]

#926 Madonna – Music

Madonna‘s Music eight studio album is a surprise for me; I had not expected another album of hers to make it to the list. Sometimes, she is underrated for her music. I think her personality outshines her art. I realized that I have never listened to this album completely yet. I already knew before I listened […]

#925 Ute Lemper – Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper is a familiar name to me. I am not sure why. Punishing Kiss is one of her studio albums from 2000. Lemper is supported by The Divine Comedy as her backing band, a band who has made it on this list. The album host an eclectic hot of writers such as Nick Cave, Elvis […]

#924 Lambchop – Nixon

Lambchop? Okay, now these people are getting ridiculous with the band names. This does not sound like a band I would listen to at all. The name makes me think it is for children. Nixon is their fifth album. Leader singer Kurt Wagner looks like someone’s dad. I think there is something to be said […]
