#226 Led Zeppelin – The Fourth Album

Is it wrong to title Led Zeppelin‘s album The Fourth Album if it is not actually titled anything? This is their fourth album on the list I think. This is the album everyone wants to hear at some point in their youth. We all know the songs (or should I say the song) on this album. […]

#224 & #225 Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tarkus & Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer put out two albums in 1971. The first album was their second studio album Tarkus, which was considered a failure by some critics and the third album was Pictures At An Exhibition, a live album. ELP is a progressive rock band. I thought Yes did a good job of creating prog rock, but ELP it […]

#223 Don McLean – American Pie

I have only heard one song from Don McLean and it was the same song that the album American Pie gets its name. I am hoping that I will like this album because I need a good album at the moment. I have got the blues. Hopefully, this one-hit wonder can change my mood. American Pie is about “The Day The […]

#222 Dolly Parton – Coat of Many Colors

Coat of Many Colors is the first album from country, pop iconic singer Dolly Parton. Parton is one of those rare artist who has skipped from country music to pop music successful. She has also enjoyed success in films too. Unlike Taylor Swift who did something similar Parton is endearing and has a great personality. […]

#221 Elton John – Madman Across The Water

Madman Across The Water is Elton John‘s fourth studio album. His first album was considered terrible, but things turned around with his self-titled second album. “Your Song” was the B-side to “Take Me to the Pilot” that DJs preferred and it became a hit. The other gem is “The Greatest Discovery“. Madman Across The Water gave his […]

#220 Can – Tago Mago

German experimental rock bands are not something you hear much about in the USA. Krautrock is not popular in the land of the free. It is a pity! Can is one of those bands I have never heard of and wished I had. I have been sitting here writing another blog post and doing some […]

#219 The Doors – L.A. Woman

The Doors‘ make a final appearance with L.A. Woman. Jim Morrison died after the album was released. I do not recognise any of the song titles, but I was never a fan of The Doors before doing this challenge of 1001 Albums…. I will not say this album is mediocre because it is not, but […]

#218 The Beach Boys – Surf’s Up

Surf’s Up is one of those albums where I find it hard to decide if I like it or dislike it. The Beach Boys are back once more with their 17th album. Their popularity has fallen drastically, even with their previous album Sunflower receiving critical acclaim it died in the charts. I listened to Surf’s Up several […]

#217 John Lennon – Imagine

I do not like John Lennon. I think he was an egotistical idiot. I do not like people who want to get rid of other people’s beliefs to fit their beliefs. Lennon was my least favourite Beatle. He reminds me of someone I hated in my lifetime. I am not excited to listen to his […]

#216 The Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers

Sticky Fingers is the fifth album from The Rolling Stones on the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list. Overall, their albums have been good with the exception of Let It Bleed; it was not as great. This is their first album without guitarist and founder Brian Jones. This album kicks off their number one […]
