#593 Depeche Mode – Music For The Masses

Depeche Mode is a band that I have heard of many times over. I am a fan. I only wish I had seen them in concert. Somehow I have missed every tour they have done. One of these days I will see them. It seems almost silly to review Music For The Masses from 1987. I […]

#592 The Cult – Electric

The Cult is a band that I may have heard of one of their songs. I am certain I have never heard their 1987 album Electric. I am surprised that I have never listened to them since they play hard rock music. I am sure that I had a short term friend during this period […]

#591 Prince – Sign o’ the Times

Prince‘s Sign o’ the Times is not an album I expected to see on the list of 1001 Albums. I was a huge fan of Prince, but I really had forgotten this album. I think I rarely ever listened to it. I definitely think of my former friend Roger. He was the biggest Prince freak […]

#590 R.E.M. – Document

Document is R.E.M.‘s second album on the list. It is their first album which they co-produced. This was their first platinum album and it gave them their first hit single. They were moving into the spotlight. They remind of my best friend from the early 90s. He was a big fan of the band. Actually, I […]

#589 Def Leppard – Hysteria

Def Leppard was one of my favourite bands of the 80s. In 1987 they released Hysteria, one of the best albums of the 80s. This album had so many hits singles that I lost count of them. This is the product of a great band, hard work and the talented producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange. The […]

#588 Trio – Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt

Trio was a country album from three artist Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. I have heard and really like Ronstadt and Parton. I only know who Harris is because she has an album on this list. My mother listened to to Ronstadt when I was little and I liked her songs. I am […]

#587 Dinosaur Jr. – You’re Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr. is band that I more than likely heard from Eric who was my best friend in the early 90s. I cannot be sure which album he would have played for me to hear, but it probably was not 1987’s You’re Living All Over Me. I have a feeling it was Green Mind and […]

Joker Stands Alone

There will be a spoiler or two. I went to see Joker even though I heard some people thought it was too disturbing. But was it disturbing? If you do not know the story by now, then you must live in a cave somewhere in the Ozark Mountains. In my imagination that is where people […]

#586 Anthrax – Among the Living

Anthrax is the last of the influential thrash metal bands from the 80s. Yippee!! I mentioned in a previous blog post that there were four of those bands and one more was on the way. Among the Living is Anthrax’s third album. I will keep this one short since it has been a long day. I […]

#585 Peter Gabriel – So

Peter Gabriel‘s So is an album I have heard of, but I only know the couple of hit songs from it. This is Gabriel’s third and final album on the list. I thought his other ones were good, but not great. I think I like the songs on this album better than when I heard […]
