#236 Gene Clark – White Light

Sometimes I want to skip an album that I know without reservation I will hate it. White Light is one of those albums. How do I know that? Gene Clark is a country singer. The only country singer I sort of liked was Dolly Parton. Okay, I should have read more of the bio on […]

#235 Flamin’ Groovies – Teenage Head

The Flamin’ Groovies are a garage rock band and Teenage Head is their third album. I have never heard of them. This album is a modern take on classic blues and rock ‘n roll. It is in the same vein as The Rolling Stones‘ Sticky Fingers which was also released in 1971. They are considered the […]

#234 Faces – A Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse

A Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse is the weirdest title for an album. I guess the Faces were not a normal band. Rod Stewart is in this band and doing his solo work too. I bet that was not stressful. There is another singer Ronnie Lane sharing the duties […]

#233 Fela Ransome-Kuti and The Africa ’70 with Ginger Baker – Live

Fela Ransome-Kuti and The Africa ’70 with Ginger Baker‘s Live is an album I have never heard of, but I have not listened to African music, except what ever has been on this list. En general, I do not like African music. Afrobeat is a fusion of jazz, funk and West African musical styles. This type […]

#232 Janis Joplin – Pearl

Janis Joplin has been on the list previously with Big Brother and the Holding Company. This was her second album and it came out three months after her death. She is a member of the so-called 27 Club. At first listen I did not like the first song “Move Over” and a few others, but on […]

#231 Funkadelic – Maggot Brain

Funkadelic‘s third album Maggot Brain is a funky psychedelic trip from the future. George Clinton is the leader of this band. Clinton was also the leader of its sister act Parliament. “Maggot Brain” is a long song, but I do not mind it as much as I usually do, since it is really different. It starts off with a […]

#230 Joni Mitchell – Blue

Joni Mitchell is an artist I have heard about a lot, but I have never listened to her music. I know of artist who have sampled her songs. Blue is her fourth studio album. I hope this one is great because of the build up from other artist I like. Blue is my favourite colour so […]

#229 Leonard Cohen – Songs of Love and Hate

Leonard Cohen has not been an artist that I have yet to appreciate. I do not like his voice. His third studio album Songs of Love and Hate might be a game changer. I like songs about love. And songs about hate. Honestly, I could not wait for it to be over. The music is good, but the […]

#228 Rod Stewart – Every Picture Tells a Story

Every Picture Tells a Story is the third solo album of Rod Stewart. I think I mentioned that I am a huge Stewart fan, but I have never heard this complete album. I discovered Stewart from my uncle and it was not until one of his later albums. Unfortunately, this is the last Rod Stewart […]

#227 Serge Gainsbourg – Histoire de Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg is one artist I have heard of and I have heard his music. He is probably most famous for “Je t’aime moi non plus” avec Jane Birkin. It is a great song, but super sexy. His album on this list is Histoire de Melody Nelson. I love French language and everything French so […]
