#803 Leftfield – Leftism

Leftfield‘s Leftism was their 1995 debut album. It was the only album from them that I bought. I love the beat on the first song “Release the Pressure“, which features reggae singer Earl Sixteen. I am not fond of his vocals, but the music is fire. I actually hated the vocals on the second song […]

#802 Pulp – Different Class

Pulp is a band I have heard of, but I cannot recall any of their songs. Their fifth studio album Different Class has made the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear….. The album was a critical and commercial success in the United Kingdom, but it failed to make the same chart success in the […]

#801 Genius/GZA – Liquid Swords

Liquid Swords is the second solo studio album from Genius/GZA. Unfortunately, it is another rap album. Why so many rap albums on the list? All of them are similar in sound. All of them have explicit lyrics. Wow! This album is extremely generic to me. Bland is the word that sticks out. I 100% suggest […]

#800 The Verve – A Northern Soul

This is the first of two albums from The Verve. They are well known for their third album, but that will come later. Today, is about their second album A Northern Soul. I cannot remember if I have listened to this one before now. After listening to it, I do not remember it at all. […]

#799 Femi Kuti – Femi Kuti

I swear I have heard Femi Kuti before this album. Maybe there is someone else on the list with a similar name. I already know I will not like this eponymous debut album from the Nigerian musician. After listening, I have not changed my mind. I do not like African music. I cannot put my […]

#798 Guided By Voices – Alien Lanes

I have heard of the band Guided By Voices, but I have never heard of any of their music and I have never heard of their eight album Alien Lanes. It was released 1995 April 4, which was my mother’s birthday. My birthday is April 3. I was her unwanted birthday gift. I am not […]

#797 Radiohead – The Bends

Radiohead is one of those groups that I know, but I don’t know. Oddly, I liked them better on their second album The Bends more than their debut album Pablo Honey. I wonder why I have not spent much time with them. I remember “High and Dry“. I used to love this song. I did […]

#796 Supergrass – I Should Coco

Supergrass is another of those band that I have heard of them, but I do not know their music. They are another of the bands that came with the British Invasion of Britpop of the 90s. I Should Coco their debut album was released in 1995. I have heard one of their songs “Alright”. I […]

#795 Elastica – Elastica

I am almost sure that I had a copy of Elastica‘s eponymous debut album. I do not remember any of the songs just by looking at the track listing. Trivia: Lead singer Justine Frischmann dated Damon Albarn during the recording of this album. He is listed as Dan Abnormal. Also, she is the daughter of […]

#794 Tupac Shakur – Me Against the World

Me Against the World is the third album from gangsta rapper Tupac Shakur. I honestly have zero interest in listening to him. But I will suffer through it. Trivia: He was imprisoned when the album was released. In my opinion, they should not be allowed to make money this way while in prison. Why does […]
