#873 System Of A Down – System Of A Down

System Of A Down released their eponymous debut album in 1998. I have never heard it, but I have heard of them. I can tell you now, I will not like it. I am not a big fan of heavy metal, but I do sometimes like light metal. Overall, I did not hate the music. […]

#872 Mercury Rev – Deserter’s Songs

Mercury Rev? I have never heard anything from them, at least I believe that is true. They released their fourth album Deserter’s Songs in 1998. The band expected it to be their last one, but as chance would have it their fate changed. They found fame mostly in the UK and Europe, and a small […]

#871 Hole – Celebrity Skin

Hole is a band that I really enjoyed in the early 90s. Unfortunately, their third album Celebrity Skin was released during my time away from music so i completely missed it. The album was a critical and commercial success for the band. Courtney Love proved that she could make great music without Kurt Cobain. My […]

#870 Lauryn Hill – The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Rapper Lauryn Hill released her first and last solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998. It was a critical and commercial success. One solo album and many think she was the greatest. I have my doubts. Something smells like a one hit wonder to me. Hill has one song in which she sings […]

#869 Madonna – Ray of Light

Madonna. I have already written about her in this list of 1001 Albums… She is one person that has pushed the envelope and people’s buttons throughout her career. She does not possess a filter. Before her seventh album was recorded she had her first child and embraced Kabbalah, studied Hinduism and Buddhism, and practiced Ashtanga […]

#868 Pulp – This is Hardcore

I have never heard Pulp‘s 1998 album This is Hardcore. Actually, I have heard of Pulp, but I have not recollection of hearing their music. Their sixth album is fill with art rock and Britpop, which was popular during the 90s. I was not excited to listen to this album, but I did not have […]

#867 Lucinda Williams – Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Who is Lucinda Williams? I swear if she sings country music, then I will scream. I am in 1998. Come on people! Country music is so ancient. Car Wheels On A Gravel Road is her fifth album. It has to be country, since I do not know of her. Oh boy. I did not like […]

#866 David Gray – White Ladder

I have heard of David Gray, but I do not think I have ever heard his music. In the description it calls him a folk singer so that might be why I have not listened to him. He released his fourth album White Ladder in 1998. It is described as folktronica. I am curious how […]

#865 Fatboy Slim – You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

Fatboy Slim again? What do you expect from a British book. It really favours British artists. I do too, but this is overkill. You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby is the second studio album from Slim. Or should I call him Fatboy? I hope this album is better than his previous one. The songs that […]

#864 Turbonegro – Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro is a Norwegian band who broke up after their fourth album Apocalypse Dudes was released. I have never heard of them, but I was never into glam metal. They have since reunited and recorded more albums. I am going to keep this one simple since I have gotten behind on the reviews. I have […]
