#663 Fugazi – Repeater

Fugazi‘s Repeater is listed in the book as being released in 1989. Everywhere else it states that it was released in 1990 so I moved it down to 1990. Yes, we are in 1990 now. The 90s are here. This is a group that my friend at this time or near that time liked. I am […]

#662 N.W.A – Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A‘s Straight Outta Compton was their debut album, but I have never heard of it until recently when there was a film about the rise and fall of the group. I did not watch the film because I have zero interest in gangsta rap. I think gangsters should not be glorified so I would never […]

#661 Jungle Brothers – Done by the Forces of Nature

I have never heard of Jungle Brothers. Done by the Forces of Nature is their second studio album. It was praised by critics for its Afrocentric themes. It was not a commercial success. This album did not move me. I think I was burned out after listening to a few hip hop albums before it. […]

#660 Janet Jackson – Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson. Miss Jackson. She made a name for herself in 1989 with the release of her fourth album Rhythm Nation 1814. She started her career as Penny in the popular series Good Times, and also continued with roles in the series Diff’rent Strokes, and Fame. In 1986, she released her third studio album Control. I can honestly […]

#659 De La Soul – 3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul‘s debut album 3 Feet High and Rising is not on Spotify. I do not understand it, even Prince is on Spotify now. Anyway, it is their debut album. This was something different than the other rap around. It was critically acclaimed and commercially successful. I liked the hip hop version of “The Magic Number” my […]

#658 Soul II Soul – Club Classics Vol. One

British group Soul II Soul created Platinum in the U.S.A. with their debut album Club Classics Vol. One. I actually bought this album in 1989. I really liked it for the hit songs. As of today I do not remember the rest of the album so it will be interesting to hear it again 30 […]

#657 Bonnie Raitt – Nick of Time

Bonnie Raitt is not someone I expected to see on the list. I know one of her songs “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and it is one of my favourite songs. Unfortunately it is not on her breakthough 10th album Nick of Time. I had no idea that she is a blues singer; I thought she […]

#656 Pixies – Doolittle

Pixies second album Doolittle is their second album on the list. It is considered one of their best album. The dark offbeat album speaks on Biblical violence, environmentalism, torture and death. The album has been certified gold and is listed on many best albums lists. Their biggest charting success from the album was “Here Comes Your […]

#655 Aerosmith – Pump

Is it necessary for another Aerosmith album? Pump is their tenth studio album. I like them fine enough, but I think they were represented enough now with this being their third album on the list. The album marked several first for the band; they received their first number one song with “Love in an Elevator“, […]

#654 Barry Adamson – Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson‘s Moss Side Story is a concept album. It is the soundtrack to a fictional crime film. The title kind of sucks; it is not original at all. The mostly instrumental album incorporates electronica, jazz and lounge music. It seems like it is waiting for someone to write the actual film for it. The first song […]
