#940 Jay-Z – The Blueprint

I know that I do not like Jay-Z. I wish I could skip this album, but I made a commitment. I am not like my friends. The Blueprint was his sixth studio album. I do not like rap so this will be painful for me to listen to the whole album. I was correct-ish. The […]

#939 The Beta Band – Hot Shots II

The Beta Band sounds really familiar to me. I may have heard them before, but the album Hot Shots II does not ring any bells. I am a fan of electronic and rock so this album might be interesting. I found this album hard to figure out. It was not terrible, but it was not great […]

#938 The White Stripes – White Blood Cells

I have heard of The White Stripes, but only a little. I know they are an American duo, who pretended to be brother and sister, but they were married. Jack White still performs under his own name and Meg White stopped performing due to anxieties. White Blood Cells is their third studio album. It was released to […]

#937 Gotan Project – La Revancha del Tango

Gotan Project released their debut album La Revancha del Tango in 2001. To date the French musical group have only released three albums. The trio consist of Eduardo Makaroff (Argentine), Philippe Cohen Solal (French), and Christoph H. Müller (Swiss). “Queremos Paz”, “El Capitalismo Foráneo”, and “Tríptico” were the only songs from this album that were […]

#936 Gillian Welch – Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch is another artist that I have never heard of until today. I do not like country music. Time (The Revelator) is her third studio album. Overall, this album was atrocious for me. I could not handle her voice on some of the songs. I almost gave her a score of Joan Baez, but Welch […]

#935 The Strokes – Is This It

The Strokes debut album Is This It was released in 2001. The band tried to capture the simple sound without much enhance studio tricks. The album was a major success and sparked other artists to follow in the alternative rock sound of the 2000s. I unfortunately did not hear about them until later. My knowledge of […]

#934 Destiny’s Child – Survivor

Destiny’s Child released their third album Survivor in 2001. This album is another one of those which was removed in a later edition. I do not like Beyoncé Knowles voice at all. It is like a bunch of screeching owls being attacked by feral cats. She is the Diana Ross of her generation. Ross had Berry Gordy and […]

#933 Ryan Adams – Gold

Ryan Adams is back with his second album on the list and his second studio album in his career: Gold. As you may know I hate country music, but Adams is not really country. He is rock and alternative country. Some critics have classified him as Americana, which is a blend of different genres. My favourite […]

#932 Gorillaz – Gorillaz

Gorillaz self-titled debut album was released in 2001. They were an instant hit. Guinness World Records list them as the world’s “Most Successful Virtual Band”. In reality, they have only one constant musician member; Damon Albarn of Blur. I think I did not hear much of this album in Europe when it was released. I discovered […]

#931 Björk – Vespertine

I am surprised it took this long for Björk to appear on the list again. Vespertine is the pixie-like singer’s fourth album. It is an album about love. This is Björk’s most personal album at the time of its release. Vulnicura might be her second most personal album. Oddly, both albums have the same subject, American contemporary artist […]
