#267 David Bowie – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is David Bowie‘s fifth studio album and the second on the list of 1001 Albums… This should be enjoyable because I have liked Bowie since I was a young lad. The theme on this album, a bisexual alien rock superstar, called Ziggy Stardust, called […]

#266 The Temptations – All Directions

The Temptations are back with their second and final album All Directions on the list of 1001 Albums… There are songs on the album that I recognise, but not by The Temptations. The fink starts off immediately with “Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On“. It is an awesome showcase of musical growth for the […]

#265 Alice Cooper – School’s Out

School’s Out is Alice Cooper‘s fifth studio album, a concept album about youth lost after leaving school. Cooper is credited for shaping the sound and look of heavy metal and the use of horror imaginary in his act. “School’s Out” is one of those classic great songs of the 70s. I always listen to it when school […]

#264 Roxy Music – Roxy Music

Roxy Music is a band I knew of from the 80s, MTV and lead singer Brian Ferry later solo career. I did not know they existed in the early 70s. Their sound has changed a lot. I like their 80s music, but will I like their 70s style of glam rock on their debut album Roxy Music. […]

#262 Paul Simon

Paul Simon‘s self-titled second album is his first solo since mid-60s and his first without Art Garfunkel. I have admitted previously to not liking Simon’s vocals so I have little hope for this album. It is terrible that people cannot get along with each other, but we all have ourselves in the way. Simon was […]

#261 Nick Drake – Pink Moon

Pink Moon is the third and final album from Nick Drake. This is a story of a battle of depression and a war lost. This will be the easiest review of all. This is a beautiful album from Drake. This album makes me feel so sad. It is a travesty this was his last album. […]

#260 Tim Buckley – Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley is back with Greetings From L.A., which is his seventh album. Thus begins his so-called sex funk period leaving his hippie fans behind in their pool of dirt and drugs. This is Buckley’s third and final list in the book of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. “Move With Me”, although […]

#260 Eagles – Eagles

The Eagles is one of those band that changed the rock music for the better. Their self-titled debut album married country, folk and rock perfectly that even I like it. They are one the biggest selling acts ever. All their members were talented musicians and songwriters. I already know three songs from this album: “Take […]

#259 David Ackles – American Gothic

I have never heard of David Ackles, but I am not alone because chances are you have not heard of him either. His album American Gothic was a failure. If you listen to it you will understand why. It is strange. Maybe the gayest thing ever. It sounds like Neil Diamond and Lawrence Welk’s love […]

#258 T. Rex – The Slider

T.Rex is so dramatic and so glam. I really enjoyed the last album so I am anticipating the same feeling. At least, I hope I can have the same feeling. I am enjoying this challenge because I am listening bands and artists that I have wanted to hear more from, but did not make time […]
