#900 Basement Jaxx – Remedy

Basement Jaxx is number 900 on the list of 1001. I have no idea who they are. The released their debut album Remedy in 1999. Oddly, the first song “Rendez-Vu” sounds exactly the opposite of what the duo was trying to create. They stated that house music was too robotic and without feeling. The vocals […]

#899 Shack – H.M.S. Fable

Shack released their third album H.M.S. Fable in 1999 to mostly great critical reviews. They are still together as band, but their last album to date was in 2006. As the first song “Natalie’s Party” started I thought it was R.E.M., but it became apparent soon that it was not. Shack have a Britpop sound. Some […]

#898 Bonnie “Prince” Billy – I See A Darkness

Bonnie “Prince” Billy is a man. He real name is Will Oldham, but he adopted his stage name for his sixth album I See A Darkness. I listened to this album about four or five times. I still cannot figure out which songs I like. This is the kind of music that you out on […]

#897 Metallica – S&M

Metallica again? I have not like any of their albums. S&M, an abbreviation of Symphony and Metallica, is a live album released in 1999. The album features The San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Kamen. I hated it. I also hate live albums. I do not understand how this album made the list. It is basically a greatest hits done […]

#896 Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time

Britney Spears? Oh good lawd. How did Britney make the list? Honestly, I am so confused. Yes, it was removed when the book was updated, but it is like all those actors apologising for something they said years ago. It is too late. (I do not believe that it is too late. I am only […]

#895 Eminem – The Slim Shady LP

Eminem is someone who I have listened to on the radio. I have liked some of his music. He is an interesting character. His second studio album The Slim Shady LP was a critical hit. The album’s genres of West Coast hip hop, G-funk and horrorcore tells its stories from the perspective of his alter ego […]

#894 Le Tigre – Le Tigre

Le Tigre is the band and the name of their debut studio album. I am not excited about listening to another band of feminist playing pop music to political lyrics. I grew up with the Go-Gos, the Supremes, Blondie, Pat Benatar, and a host of other strong females and female led bands. The influence of every girl […]

#893 Les Rhythmes Digitales – Darkdancer

Les Rhythmes Digitales is actually one of the many names or pseudonyms of famed producer, DJ, and songwriter Stuart Price. Price is known for his work with Madonna, The Killers, Kylie Minogue, and many others. Darkdancer is Les Rythmes Digitales second and final album. I found it odd that I have heard a lot of Price’s work with other artists […]

#892 The Flaming Lips – The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips enter with their first of two albums on the list. Their ninth studio album The Soft Bulletin was released in 1999. This is one of the bands that I know and listened to, and even like, but for some reason I always forget them. What makes The Flaming Lips great? Wayne Coyne. He is the […]

#891 Moby – Play

Moby released his most successful album Play in 1999 to critical acclaim. This is an album that I know well. Play was not an instant success, but it eventual became the biggest-selling electronica album of all-time. Trivia: Moby is actually the great-great-great nephew of Herman Melville, author of Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. One of my […]
