#699 Saint Etienne – Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne? How did I forget this band? I used to have their first two albums Foxbase Alpha and So Tough. This was the British band’s debut album, which infused house music with 60s pop. Originally it was a duo Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs who worked with different female singers, until they worked with Sarah Cracknell. She […]

#698 Pearl Jam – Ten

Pearl Jam is the worst. I would rather listen to Nickleback live than listen to Pearl Jam’s debut album Ten. I cannot stand Eddie Vedder’s voice. Is he even singing? I think he is so full of himself. I remember watching an award show and he went up to accept it. He had the audacity […]

#697 A Tribe Called Quest – The Low End Theory

Another album from A Tribe Called Quest made the list. It is their second one on the list and their second studio album The Low End Theory. The debut was better than most of the rap I have had to listen to so far. I think the infusion of jazz makes it more pleasant to […]

#696 Public Enemy – Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy‘s Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black was released in 1991. It has received critical acclaim, but some critics thought it faltered in the second half. Personally, I think everyone knows how I feel about rap and hip hop. I hated the first song “Lost at Birth” because of the siren sound. I droned on […]

#695 Mudhoney – Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney‘s Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge was released in 1991. It was their second studio album and their second time on the list of 1001 Albums… I like grunge, but just like every other genre it has its good and its bad. Nirvana is the good part of grunge and Pearl Jam is the and […]

#694 Ice-T – O.G. Original Gangster

Another rapper. “God. Please. No!” Ice-T releases his fourth studio album O.G. Original Gangster in 1991. He is still around. He “acts” in a police drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I guess someone thought he could act. I can write this review before I suffer through seventy-two minutes of the album. I hated the language […]

#693 Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Magik

I have seen the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I owned their albums. I say owned in the past because I move around so much that I eventually got rid of my music collection. It became to difficult to move. Some of my things were stolen and some were lost. I recently had a desire […]

#692 Jah Wobble’s Invaders of the Heart – Rising Above Bedlam

I have heard of Jah Wobble’s Invaders of the Heart, but I had never heard his music nor his second album Rising Above Bedlam. I had no idea he was not a rapper. I think his name threw me off. He was in Public Image Ltd (PiL). I think have heard “Visions of You” featuring Sinéad […]

#691 MC Solaar – Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

I have never heard of MC Solaar. As much as I love French, I imagine I would still hate French rap. Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo is the first release from Solaar. Unfortunately, this album is not on Spotify, but you can listen to it on YouTube. I kind of liked “Victime de la mode“, “Bouge […]

#690 Gang Starr – Step in the Arena

It is weird when I find a group that I have not heard of in the early 90s. But to be honest I do not like hip hop or rap. Gang Starr released their second album of East Coast hip hop Step in the Arena in 1991. I can see that the album of 1991 mostly […]
