#530 Meat Puppets – Meat Puppets II

I have never heard the Meat Puppets’ music before today. I have discovered that the band Nirvana was a big fan of their music. Meat Puppets II is their second studio album. It is labeled as cowpunk and psychedelic music. That is not encouraging for me. I did not like this album because of its […]

#529 The Police – Synchronicity

The Police‘s Synchronicity was one of my favourite albums of 1983, but unfortunately it was their last album together. I was heartbroken. There were a few bands/artists I was a huge fan of around this time: The Cars, Blondie, Journey, Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Nicks and of course The Police. I think The Police was […]

#528 U2 – War

U2 finally made it on the list of 1001 Albums… I must ask a question first. “How the hell is War on the list and Boy is not?” Boy is equally as incredible as War. I listened to Boy more than War when I was growing up. The editor of 1001 Albums… is an idiot. I was […]

#527 Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is an album I have definitely heard. It was their second studio album. I was a fan of them from the first time I saw one of their videos. In the USA, people were a bit behind in thinking and they thought Annie Lennox was a transvestite. It was a little controversy. […]

#526 ZZ Top – Eliminator

ZZ Top‘s Eliminator was not an album that I would have listened to if it had not been on MTV. They played it out, in my opinion. It was good for its time in history, but could does it stand the test of time? It is their eighth album. There were several hits on this […]

#525 Echo & The Bunnymen – Porcupine

Echo & The Bunnymen have made it again on the list with Porcupine their third album. I hope this is one of their better albums. I was only mildly interested in them, especially their song “Bring on the Dancing Horses”. It was my favourite from them. I was not really into this album. It seems […]

#524 Paul Simon – Hearts and Bones

Paul Simon again? He seems overrated to me. Hearts and Bones is his sixth solo album. I guess somebody thinks he should be overly represented on the list of 1001 Albums… The first song “Allergies” was quite ridiculous. I wondered how did anyone think this was good. I often wonder when I listen to a great […]

#523 Cyndi Lauper – She’s So Unusual

I knew Cyndi Lauper‘s debut album She’s So Unusual had to be on the list. I am surprised that Madonna’s debut album is not because it was something new at the time. I remember both albums coming out in 1983 and I thought Lauper would be around a lot longer, although I was a huge fan […]

#522 Hanoi Rocks – Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish rock band and Back to Mystery City was their fourth album. This album is not on Spotify so I had to search for it on YouTube. I do not have confidence that I will like this because Axl Rose does. Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe has a connection to this band. […]

#521 The Blue Nile – A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile is a band that sounds familiar in name, but I could not name one song so it is possible that I have never heard their music. Their debut album A Walk Across The Rooftops was released in 1984 according to everything, except for the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. […]
