#823 Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin’ Criminals? I have never heard of them. I am not in the habit of listening to mafioso rap, but this album supposedly has a bit of everything thrown in. Their debut album Come Find Yourself was released in 1996. I kind of liked “I Can’t Get with That“. It reminded me a little […]

#822 Barry Adamson – Oedipus Schmoedipus

This is Barry Adamson second time on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. I enjoyed his first entry Moss Side Story. He released his third solo album Oedipus Schmoedipus in 1996. Overall, this album did not move me. It felt too much like a soundtrack for a film. When I […]

#821 Sepultura – Roots

Sepultura reappears on the list. I did not wish for this band to show up once. I have their first album on the list 1/10. I am 100% sure that I will feel the same about their sixth studio album Roots. I am not a fan of screaming. I like listening to vocals. I did […]

#820 Wilco – Being There

I know I have heard Wilco before today. Unfortunately, I cannot remember my feelings toward them. I know their second album Being There is alternative country and alternative rock. It has a 50/50 chance of being terrible. One of my favourite genres and the worst collide. It must be the end of the world. I […]

#819 Fiona Apple – Tidal

Fiona Apple is someone I have never listened to before today. The women singers of the 90s were mostly irritating to me. I thought that Tori Amos was enough for me. It became a whole moment of angry women touring together. I am not sure why they were angry. I did not care. I was […]

#818 The Divine Comedy – Casanova

Casanova is the fourth album from The Divine Comedy, a band out of Northern Ireland. I have never heard of them, but I do like chamber pop, orchestral pop and Britpop. Neil Hannon is the band’s multi-instrumentalist and sole constant member. After listening to the whole album, I am not sure what I think or […]

#817 Eels – Beautiful Freak

I am definitely a fan of the Eels. The only consistent member of the Eels is Mark Oliver Everett also known as E. I think I relate to his music because of the lyrics which touches on every subject from death, loneliness, childhood innocence, depression, and unrequited love. I live in all those every day […]

#816 DJ Shadow – Endtroducing…..

Another artist I have not heard of is DJ Shadow, who released his debut album in Endtroducing….. 1996. His music is mostly sampled music known as sampledelia. The songs that I liked were “What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4)”, “Building Steam with a Grain of Salt”, “Changeling” / “Transmission 1”, and “Stem/Long Stem” […]

#815 Belle & Sebastian – Tigermilk

I think I was surprised to see that Belle & Sebastian made the list with not one, but two albums. Unfortunately, neither of the albums are the ones I think I owned. Their debut album Tigermilk was their first release in 1996. I am going to skip all the small talk about which songs are […]

#814 Beck – Odelay

Beck is another artist, like Alanis Morissette, who I did not appreciate when he first arrived on the scene. There were quite a few artist in the 90s I felt that way about. Eventually, I revisited him and changed my mind. Odelay his fifth studio album was released in 1996. Trivia: On the album cover […]
