#297 Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies

Billion Dollar Babies is the final album from Alice Cooper to make the list of 1001 Albums… I know he has some great songs after this period because I discovered him later in his career. My mother had a 45 of “Only Women Bleed“. I had a record of his song “How You Gonna See Me Now” […]

#296 The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – Next

Next is what I would like to say instead of listening to this album from The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Time is short and there are a few albums on here that I felt nothing on the first listen so I gave them a second one. This is one of those albums. After a second […]

#295 Paul McCartney & Wings – Band on the Run

Band on the Run is the fifth album from Paul McCartney after The Beatles broke up. It has been hailed as his best work by many critics. It has two hit songs that I have heard many times. As I stated about Elton John’s album a few post back these songs meant something to me as a child. […]

#294 ZZ Top – Tres Hombres

ZZ Top is one of the bands that I heard of in the 80s. They had a hit song or two on MTV. Tres Hombres is one of two albums they have on this list. The other album is in the 80s. I was never a fan that would listen to an album so this […]

#293 Stevie Wonder – Innervisions

Innervisions is the second album from Stevie Wonder. If you have read the previous entries, then you know I do not like his voice or his music. His voice is too screechy like an owl that is starving or one that was hit by a car and has not died yet. Yes, a wounded owl […]

#291 Waylon Jennings – Honky Tonk Heroes

Honky Tonk Heroes is considered the first album in the sub-genre of country music called outlaw country. Waylon Jennings is not an artist I would listen to unless a gun was at my head. I have to admit after listening to the album from Jennings I still hate country, but his voice is not as […]

#290 Steely Dan – Countdown to Ecstasy

Steely Dan‘s Countdown to Ecstasy is their second album and their second album on the list of 1001 albums. This album is new for me. It was recorded at Caribou Ranch in Nederland, Colorado, which is not far from where I live. This album has Donald Fagan singing all the songs, since leader singer David Palmer left the […]

#292 Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd‘s Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most iconic albums ever. The album remained in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. It returned to the charts later giving it over 900 weeks total. I will not get into the reasons why is it never goes away and […]

#289 Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Bernie Taupin and Elton John were the perfect team of lyricist and musician. John would never have been as famous without Taupin. That can be proved by the brief period in the late 70s and early 80s until Too Low for Zero when he worked with other writers and his album sales slumped. I did not […]

#288 Todd Rundgren – A Wizard, A True Star

A Wizard, A True Star is the second album by Todd Rundgren on this list. I did not know that he had so much of an influence on music. I only know one song from him. This album was after he experimented with psychedelic drugs. Side one of the album is terrible. The songs sound like […]
