#102 Loretta Lynn – Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn? She is the one who had a film made about her that I have never seen since I hate country music. Hopefully, Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind) is the only album from her on the list. The title song sounds like it should come with a hashtag after […]

#101 The Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes have an interesting yet sad story. Isn’t that the story of rock and roll? Their self-titled debut album also known as I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night) came out in 1967, but by 1968 the band changed drastically. The Electric Prunes were discovered literally in their garage. They were great as musicians, but lacked as songwriters. Of course, the record studio hired songwriters Annette Tucker and Nancie […]

#100 The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced

The Jimi Hendrix Experience is not something I looked forward to listening to for some reason. I think I heard one song one time and never gave them another chance. My mother never listened to his albums and I cannot remember any of my older friends even mentioning him at all. In fact, in my […]

#99 Merle Haggard – I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard is a country singer. We all know how I feel about country music. I look more forward to death more than listening to country music. I hope there is not much more country music in this book. I hope there is something redeemable on I’m a Lonesome Fugitive. Pray for me. I feel like I am […]

#98 Donovan – Sunshine Superman

Sunshine Superman from folk artist Donovan was completely unknown to me. I only knew one thing about Donovan; his daughter is Ione Skye from the classic 80s film Say Anything… One of the most interesting things about this album is that two people who played instruments on it will become super famous soon after it. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones form Led Zeppelin in […]

#97 The Kinks – Something Else by The Kinks

The Kinks‘ Something Else by The Kinks is definitely one of the most overlooked Kinks albums and one of the albums of 1967. If it had come out one year earlier then it would have been a hit, but 1967 was a crowded year in music. This list has 31 albums from 1967. I believe […]

#96 Jefferson Airplane – Surrealistic Pillow

If any band had many versions of itself it was Jefferson Airplane, who became Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship who became Starship I knew of Jefferson Starship and Starship more than I knew of Jefferson Airplane. As I look at the track list I realise that I might know some of their songs from Surrealistic Pillow. I have heard two of the songs from this album prior to listening to it. […]

#95 The Young Rascals – Groovin’

If you titled your album Groovin’, then you are definitely in the 60s. The Young Rascals (later known as The Rascals) did just that with their third album. Is that why I have never heard of them? Were they too 60s? Firstly, Groovin’ is their only album on Spotify. Secondly, it is in mono. Yikes! […]

#94 The Byrds

The Byrds again? Noooooooo! I have not liked any of their albums on this list. I highly doubt Younger Than Yesterday will change my mind. Does anyone like this band? Does anyone listen to any of this music? Am I alone? The albums begins badly with “So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star“. They decided to […]

#93 The Doors

The only things I knew about The Doors were that Jim Morrison died in Paris at a young age, he is buried there, the band had the overly long hit “Light My Fire” and Morrison was some type of sex symbol. This is the first time I will listen to their eponymous debut album. I […]
