#1011 Amy Winehouse – Back to Black

I think Amy Winehouse was overrated. It is how I felt about her music. It was okay, but nothing to get all excited about. I think I only knew of one or two songs before doing this challenge. My opinion did not change with the first album. Perhaps her second studio album Back to Black […]

#1010 The Killers – Sam’s Town

The Killers released their second album Sam’s Town In 2006. It was a hit for the band. Lead singer Brandon Flowers has stated that you can hear his real voice on this album compared to its predecessor. “We didn’t use too many vocal effects. On the first album, we used auto-tune, and I didn’t even realize […]

#1009 Muse – Black Holes and Revelations

Muse released their fourth studio album Black Holes and Revelations in 2006. The band took more control in production and changed direction in style citing Depeche Mode, Millionaire, Lightning Bolt, Sly and the Family Stone, and music from southern Italy as some of their influences. The themes are the same as their previous albums. The […]

#1008 Christina Aguilera – Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera again? Why? I think her fifth studio album Back to Basics was also removed from the list of 1001 Albums… I will try to suffer though this album as I did the previous one on the list. I gave it 1/10. Can this one do better? I am doubtful because I hate her […]

#1007 Antony & The Johnsons – I Am a Bird Now

Antony & The Johnsons is a band I have listened to in the past, but in that past the lead singer was Antony Hegarty, but now pretends to be a female named Anohni. Whatever. The world is going more crazy ever day and we are all suppose to pretend too. I Am a Bird Now […]

#1006 Sufjan Stevens- Illinois

Sufjan Stevens is an artist I have heard of and I have heard his music. Unfortunately, not as much as I would like, but I will be able to change that today. Stevens fifth studio album is Illinois sometimes styled Sufjan Stevens Invites You To: Come On Feel the ILLINOISE. I guess he has a […]

#1005 Richard Hawley – Coles Corner

Who is Richard Hawley? He is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer. He has worked with a lot of artists, but he is not well known in the States. Coles Corner is Hawley’s fourth studio album. Another question to answer is “What is Coles Corner?” It is a popular meeting place of old and new […]

#1004 Common – Be

Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr? Does not really say hip hop star to me. Common was wise to change it. This is Common’s second appearance on the list of 1001 Albums… I was not a fan of his first entry Like Water for Chocolate at all. Be is the rapper’s sixth album and it was his […]

#1003 Green Day – American Idiot

Green Day is one of the bands that I used to listen to back in the day. American Idiot was their seventh studio album and of course I had it on MP3. Originally they were recording their next album Cigarettes and Valentines, but the master tapes were stolen so they decided to start over. Wise […]

#1002 DeVotchKa – How It Ends

DeVotchKa is a band that I feel like I have heard of, but I cannot be sure why. It looks like a Russian word. I will listen to it before I read about them. The album is How It Ends, which is the bands fourth album. Okay, I was right, it is the Russian word […]
