#450 Michael Jackson – Off The Wall

Michael Jackson was unlike anyone else. He had a certain “Je ne sais quoi“ about him. Off The Wall was the first album from him that I bought. This is the album that turn Jackson from a child artist to a man-child artist. It was a time when he was still handsome as a regular person […]

#449 Public Image Ltd – Metal Box

Public Image Ltd‘s Metal Box album was changed to Second Edition when it was reissued in 1980. John Lydon left the Sex Pistols behind in 1978 and turned to more experimental music. Metal Box is widely regarded as a landmark of post-punk music. If you listen to it on Spotify, then it is titled Second […]

#448 Pink Floyd – The Wall

Pink Floyd already had one of the greatest albums ever. I did not think they could ever match it until I heard The Wall. More than any other album I relate to this one. I feel the isolation, the misery, the pain, the loneliness, the sadness, the rejection and it goes on and on. This […]

#447 Fleetwood Mac – Tusk

Fleetwood Mac took big risk by letting Lindsey Buckingham control the making of Tusk. He had been influenced by post-punk music and he wanted to something different than Rumours. Tusk was considered a failure, but since its release it has inspired many other artists. I could go through the album and write which songs are […]

#446 Cheap Trick – At Budokan

Cheap Trick is one of the bands that I really liked from the 80s. I saw them in concert once and it was great. Unfortunately, the album to review is the live one At Budokan from 1979. Cheap Trick enjoyed Beatlemania type of success in Japan. This is the album that put them on the […]

#445 Gang Of Four – Entertainment!

Gang Of Four is a band with an agenda that I cannot agree with at all. I hate politics in my music, especially left-wing and right wing crap. Their album cover shows a white man and an Indian with some text about the white man being devious towards the Indian. I think it is stupid […]

#444 Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse‘s Rust Never Sleeps is a live album. I have written many times that I hate live albums. Why another one? I hate clapping and cheering. I want people to be quiet while I listen to music. I have become a fan of Young’s music, but this might be one that […]

#443 Elvis Costello and the Attractions – Armed Forces

Armed Forces is the second album for Elvis Costello and the Attractions, but it was his third album. The Attractions were his backing band throughout different periods of his career. This album was Costello’s move into new wave music. He is definitely an acquired taste because of his weird vocals. My favourite songs are “Accidents Will […]

#442 The Slits – Cut

The Slits‘ Cut displays the three women on the cover with their breast hanging out. I am not a prude, but I rather if they had not put them on the album cover. I hate when musical artist use their bodies to sell their music. It makes me think they are masking the fact that […]

#441 Marianne Faithfull – Broken English

Marianne Faithfull had disappeared from the world of music during the 70s. She had become homeless, suffered from anorexia and addicted to heroin. Producer Mark Miller Mundy brought her music out of the past into the future of new wave. Many critics, even Faithfull herself, consider her seventh album Broken English a masterpiece. I listened to some […]
