#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 […]

#793 The Chemical Brothers – Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers‘ Exit Planet Dust was their debut album. It charted in the United Kingdom every year from 1995 to 2000. The whole album is excellent, but some of my favourites were “Leave Home”, “One Too Many Mornings”, “Chico’s Groove”, and all the rest. I prefer the more atmospheric sounds. I recommend this album […]

#792 Rocket From The Crypt – Scream, Dracula, Scream!

I have never heard of early 90s punk band Rocket From The Crypt. I think punk was on a third wave or should we call it the materialism wave by this time. Punk was no longer underground. Bands like Green Day brought it out of the dark pubs into the mainstream radio. Yet, I have […]

#791 The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

I was a real fan of The Smashing Pumpkins. I especially liked Siamese Dream and I did not expect anything to be as good from them. I always became excited when I heard a favourite artist was releasing an new album. But I was also worried. Could they possible sound as good now? Will I […]

#790 Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…

I can tell I will have Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… from rap artist Raekwon. I have never heard of him, but mafioso rap sounds like a terrible idea. The album features many members of Wu-Tang Clan and was meant to be loosely composed to play like a film. Only one song “Can It Be […]
