Man, Iโve really liked what Iโve heard of with the New York Dolls. Great 70โs punk rock that helped lead to the Ramones/The Clash/Pistols, etcโฆ.. Whole album is pretty darn good but Iโve always been partial to the song Trash. Something about the changes in it. And you can tell Johnny Thunders had the blue print for You canโt wrap your arms around a memory with Lonely Boy Planet.
Great record and Iโm glad I finally listened to it all.

Bad Company
Bad Company
Going in, I was very familiar with about half the songs on this album (mostly the first half). A tight 34 minutes of good old fashioned straight up 70โs rock with a great lead singer.
But like I alluded to, while I was familiar with half the songs, I had never heard the other half as I had heard the hits so much on the radio so I never needed to buy or even listen to the album. Tracks 1-3 are all-timers (in that theyโre great songs that have earned their place wherever you hear them) and #5 (the title track) is even above THAT level.
#4 is a Beatles cover and felt like on the track listing it wouldโve worked better after the title track but it was the age of the album so I get why theyโd put that as the side ender and start fresh with Bad Company (the song, not the albumโฆ..or band, lol). #6 is The Way I Choose and itโs a pretty solid bluesy ballad. I actually like this in an early Springsteen kinda way.
#7 is Moving On and even though I donโt think Iโve heard it, it earns its place along with the first three songs. Great forgotten song. #8 is titled Seagull and Iโm guessing it was a Free Bird homage of some sort but more folksy. Almost like a Led Zeppelin track. Itโs ok.
4 great songs (including an all-timer) and 2 new really good songs. The two side-enders are the weakest of the 8 but arenโt terrible. I love how thereโs no filler on here. Add 2 or 3 blah songs and this album would be getting a 3. 34 minutes of half straight up rocking and half ballad-y type love songs and this really is a 70โs gem. I was expecting a 3 but this is a 4 from me, dawg.

OK
Talvin Singh
Iโve never heard of this performer before today and I gotta say, I donโt hate it. He sounds like an Indian Moby. Not normally my type of music (Indian or electronica) but Iโm kinda sorta digging this, especially when some orchestral stuff plays like halfway thru the first song.
Some of this sounds like a soundtrack for an Indian film noire. Like Mumbai Confidential. And then it talks about a vampire at the end? Hmmmm. Not bad but not going into my regular rotation. Glad I listened, though.

In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
In The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Going in let it be known that Iโm not a prog rock kind of guy.
There are a few decent songs on here as far as melodic beauty goes but then there is also just schizophrenia. Too much schizophrenia. And a meandering song called Moonchild that just sounds like all the background bells and whistles from THE ENTIRETY of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood in a 10 minute track. The title track is half fun and half meandering. I know prog rock is meant for meandering but a little editing down would make this song in particular more accessible (to folks like me) but I get it.
Overall, the first track is just too off the wall for me. The next two were actually kind of nice and chill. The Moonchild one is fucking weird but the last song was (mostly) somewhat enjoyable. Iโm not shitting on it but Iโm ok. It has its place and I am glad I listened to know what this is. Doubt Iโll give it a re-listen, though.
Then I listened to it again after I got high and I understood it better. Go figure.

I had never heard this before so I was interested to give it a chance. Iโve heard a song or two by ATCQ but none of these.
It started out pretty fun with some good beats and I was digging it. But the longer it went on, the more the novelty wore off and by the end, every song sounded the same minus a few here or there. I donโt hate the album but it was a bit too long for my likings.

Beggars Banquet

This is the start of something special in the Stonesโ career. That late 60โs/early 70โs run was a doozy and it started here with Beggar's Banquet. Fun, bluesy-countryish songs are the vibe and they do it really, really well. So many different sounds on here to accomplish this, too.

The Black Keys
I really, really like this album. Itโs weird, because the Black Keys are a band that I like when I hear them but I donโt go searching for them. This is the first time I sat down with one of their albums and it was just chock full of great songs.
I probably wouldโve cut a few off towards the end (but the last two or three songs were excellent) as it got a little long but there wasnโt any BAD songs. Iโm debating on a 4 here as I canโt go 5 but I feel itโs silly to mark it down as a 3. But I also know Iโm not going to go listen to all of their other albums like if I was really, really blown away but I know that theyโre probably also great listens. Torn. Fuck it.

The ONLY thing I can tell you about this album is that I liked it. Ask me which songโฆ..I dunno. Ask me any question about itโฆโฆI dunno. Just 60โs American rock that sounded good.

Every once in awhile, an artist I like gets a little boring to me and I usually skip their songs when they come on, yet still consider myself a fan of their work. Itโs been that way for me with The Cars since Ric Ocasek died a few years back. After listening to this album, that feeling is gone.
What a record! So many hits on this debut album of theirs and the rest of the songs are still great sounding.

Tonight's The Night
Neil Young
Neil Young is one of the guys I like well enough but I havenโt taken a deep dive into his albums besides Harvest Moon (looking forward to Harvest, actually). But this probably wasnโt the one to start with. A little raw, a little rough, a little vocally shaky at times, a little too much for me. I did really like a lot of the arrangements but, like with most of Youngโs work, it was a little too harmonica-y for my tastes (I definitely like the harmonica in certain situations but not here).
I did like Roll Another Number (For the Road), Albuquerque, and Lookout Joe but I donโt think it makes up for the rest.

Apr 16 2023
Pump
Aerosmith
Iโll be honest, this one threw me for a loop. I got this album when I was growing up and played it out. One of the first bands I ever got into and one of the first albums I bought with my own money was its predecessor Permanent Vacation. I think it might have actually been the first one I spent my own money on to be honest. I grew up an Aerosmith kid.
But itโs on this list? Really? I see Permanent Vacation isnโt and thatโs weird to me as PV was their big comeback. Not even sure if PV belongs here but certainly over Pump, right?
But I listened to this again for the first time in a really long time and m still really into it. Love in an Elevator, Janieโs Got a Gun, What it Takes, The Other Sideโฆ.those songs are truly great. F.I.N.E. has always been one of my favorite โSmith songs and Young Lust and My Girl are better than average, as is Hoodoo Medicine Man. Monkey on My Back and Donโt Get Mad Get Even are pretty filler material but not terrible.
And thatโs it. That was quick, enjoyable, nostalgic, and better than I remembered and I remembered it fondly. Canโt say itโs a classic, canโt say Iโm not surprised itโs on here, but I can say that yeah, Iโm happy itโs here.

Blood, Sweat & Tears
Blood, Sweat & Tears
When I first saw this album was next up I rolled my eyes. Donโt know much about BS&T but I didnโt have high hopes.
I gotta say, I really liked a few of these songs. And When I Die had a movie soundtrack feel vibe to it. Like that one slot. Spinning Wheel was the only song I was familiar with and itโs solid, but goofy. More and More was another great one. Iโll take that drum/organ solo over jazzy stuff any day.
Smiling Phases is justโฆ.fun. Until it got jazzy. Iโm just not digging the jazzy. A couple of boring songs, a couple of jazz songs that Iโll skip in a heartbeat in future listenings, too. Youโve Made Me So Happy is half good/half gross. It ends with Blues #2 which is just jazz and just not my thing.
Overall, I half dig this, half hate it, lol. So it gets a 3. The good parts get a 4, the bad parts get a 1. Overall, 3 from me, dawg.

I really enjoy a few Steely Dan albums (Canโt But a Thrill and Aja) and couldnโt get into a few others (Pretzel Logic and one other one Iโve forgotten the name of, Gaucho, I think) so I didnโt know how this was going to go down. But after listening to it, itโs firmly on the Love It side.
What a record! A little bluesy, a little jazzy (but not too jazzy, lol), a little countryish, a little rockinโ, a little soulful.; this album has it all. Itโs one of those albums that just sounds great when consumed alltogether so Iโm not sure there are any โhitsโ on it but dang, itโs good. Like, really good.

Deep Purple In Rock
Deep Purple
I like a few Deep Purple songs but I wasnโt familiar with any of these songs. Was excited to see what this was going to be like. Then the songs startedโฆโฆโฆ
Every time I think Iโm about to like one of these songs, they do something to screw it up. I donโt like any of the leads. If the singer is singing, itโs annoying. If there was an organ solo, it was annoying. If there was a drum solo itโs annoying. The guitar solos were annoying. It was just all annoying.
Some of the songs werenโt bad if the vocals were better and the solos werenโt so awful. If I could strip the shit and add good stuff to the base that I like, we might be talkinโ โbout something. As isโฆโฆ..Every song sounded like a Black Sabbath discarded song with a little organ blandly overdubbed on it.
And thatโs that.

Synchronicity
The Police
Iโve never liked The Police. I donโt hate them and I like a few songs but thereโs just something about them that Iโve always put them on meh side. Assumed I wouldnโt like this album but it was better than I thought it would be.
The few songs I wasnโt familiar with were ok but nothing special. Synchronicity II (no idea that song was named that) and Wrapped Around Your Finger are solid songs, I guess. Every Breath You Take is a beating but probably because Iโve heard it so many damn times. Creepy lyrics aside, itโs kind of weird hearing a song thatโs been all over life since before I can remember just starting up after mostly unheard songs.
Canโt say this album made me a fan of The Police, but they didnโt lose any ground with me, either.

The Gershwin Songbook
Ella Fitzgerald
This is good, big band, beautiful singing jazz, not the all over the place jam band style jazz I donโt like.. I like this a lot but a little goes a long way. Not something Iโd want to listen to for 40 plus minutes at a time. And the version I was listening to, and it seems a lot of others were listening to, was the box set 3+ hour version. Regardless, this was an amazing singer singing timeless songs.

Apr 27 2023
Aftermath
The Rolling Stones
The album opens up with one of the most classic examples of 60โs Stones with Paint It Black and a few songs later is another, Under My Thumb. Two of my favorite Stonesโ songs ever. There are a few other fun songs but also some that didnโt really resonate that much with me. Nothing bad but not as many Must Listens, either besides the aforementioned PIB and UMT.
The final song is called Going Home and I can hear Gloria by Them, some Doors, the Pixiesโ Gigantic, and the Thong Song of all things in this track. Iโm sure thereโs more that weโre influenced in a way by this one but it was a bit too long and meandering for my tastes.
Solid but not my favorite Stonesโ album.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby
Terence Trent D'Arby
All I know about TTD is the song Wishing Well and I really like it. Always been a favorite of mine and I still even occasionally whistle that whistlinโ part. But thatโs all I know.
This album started kinda weird talking about Heaven and sending his mom prayers and stuff if you get there or something. But that first maybe 5 songs are all pretty good, to varying degrees. The album kinda slows down after that and I lost interest. As Yet Untitled should stayed off the record. No wonder it didnโt get a title.
Nothing bad, nothing great (besides WW). Iโm thinking heโs trying to be Micheal Jackson and naw, he ainโt no Mikey Jacks. This would get a 4 on a scale of 1-10 so since nothing is outright terrible or annoying, Iโll give it a 3. Mighta got a 4 if the second half lived up to the first but even then, probs nots. That mighta been a 6 out of 10. Meh. I dunno.

I really like what Brian Wilson did back in the 60โs but then he went a little too hard with the acid and coupled with his rough upbringing and depression and spent the next 4 decades finishing this album off and on. It sounds like it.
I imagine this is what Pet Sounds sounds like on LSD. I donโt hate it, but itโs hard to get into certain songs when they just go, ummm, crazy.

Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin 4 was one of the first albums I bought when I was younger and I wore that thing out. Instead of buying a lot of their other studio albums, I bought their huge box set that had so many great songs (and some stuff I wasnโt as into). Iโve listened to some of their studio albums over the years and thereโs good and bad on them but mostly good.
I hadnโt deep delved into Physical Graffiti before this popped up so I set aside some time for it. This album is so great. Itโs got huge hits on it (Kashmir, Custard Pie, Trampled Under Foot, The Wanton Song, Houses of the Holy) plus song long ones that take a little time to develop but are awesome (In My Time Of Dying, In The Light, Ten Years Gone), and then some I wasnโt as familiar with that are fantastic, too (The River, Down By The Seaside, Night Flight, Bron-Yr-Aur) and the rest are also solid blues rock.
Yes, itโs almost an hour and a half, but itโs all amazing. A must listen and I need to finish the few Zeppelin albums I havenโt 100% completed.

Hot Buttered Soul
Isaac Hayes
Lotta good stuff here. Lot more rambling, though. If these songs could be edited down, this would be a great EP. But itโs too jazzy for me where it goes all over the place. Didnโt know they had soul R&B jam records, though. Almost like some of this should be the background music of some tense movie like Dead Presidents or something. But damn, get to the point of the Jimmy Webb song for crying out loud.
As a whole? Not my thing. Also, why does it have to be 45 minutes long? I feel attacked.

The White Stripes are another band like The Black Keys. I like their stuff but I rarely listen to them unless a song pops up on one of my playlists.

Some great songs on here, though. Dead Leaves, Hotel Yorba, Weโre Gonna Be Friends, Fell In Love With a Girl,โฆ..

Pretty good stuff. Nothing earth shattering but was a good feeling album.

Modern Life Is Rubbish
Blur
Another one of those albums that I guess I liked but I donโt know why itโs on this list. Nothing stood out good or bad. If I was somewhere and it came on, I wouldnโt complain. But Iโll never seek it out, either.

All Hail the Queen
Queen Latifah
Iโll be honest, once the babies made an appearance during the second song(!) I was out. What little I heard wasnโt terrible, though.

Everything Must Go
Manic Street Preachers
While I liked this when I listened, I donโt remember anything about it now. Itโs good, I guess, but not as good as hearing about the band member that went missing right before this album came out. Now that was intriguing.

This was ok as background music as I was doing housework.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)
Simple Minds
This was ok background early 80โs music but I kept thinking โWhy is this on this list? And if things like this need to be included to make the nice roundish number of 1,001, then maybe he shouldโve just chosen a more apt number?โ

After The Gold Rush
Neil Young
Now this was a good Neil Young record. Bunch of early 70โs southern folky rock.

Jul 02 2023
The Last Broadcast
Doves
When this first started I was intrigued. The more it went on, the less intrigued I was. Was never bad but never hit that next level. Iโm the end was just ok. Might listen again though to see if I just wasnโt paying close enough attention.

Jul 03 2023
Make Yourself
Incubus
I never liked Incubus but to be fair, I never really gave them a shot besides a song here or a few seconds of a song there. So, I gave them a shot with this album.
I still donโt like Incubus.

Beautiful Freak
Eels
Recently heard a different Eels album and liked it. This one is great, too. Digging this guy even if it does sound like a Beck ripoff but I like Beck too so if youโre going to rip someone off, rip someone off thatโs good.

Stripped
Christina Aguilera
Iโm not the target audience for this type of music but I listened and itโs actually pretty good. Slow numbers, upbeat stuff, actual poignant lyrics (at times, lol)โฆโฆ.. Probably wonโt listen again and Iโm not going to look up any more of her stuff but I was pleasantly surprised.

A Forest is one of my favorite Cure songs and a bunch of this sounds pretty similar in a dark kind of tone, not the poppy art pop that weโd get from them later. Itโs hot itโs place, for sure.

Raw Power
The Stooges
This just sounds like someone trying to make a punk Velvet Underground but with goofy lyrics. Iggy wanted to be controversial so he uses song titles and lyrics like Raw Power! And Penetration! And Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell! And he just repeats those words over and over!
Itโs just really, really fucking goofy.
I really like Seek and Destroy (although itโs got goofy lyrics, too, but at least theyโre not as bad as most of the rest of the album). I Need Somebody is a pretty good haunt of a blues song, though.

I like the hits, donโt really care for anything else. Maybe thatโs because Iโve heard the hits a few thousand times or because theyโre good and the rest just stinks, I dunno.

Dec 17 2023
Parklife
Blur
Couple of great songs, mostly filled with not bad, not great songs. I instantly forgot what most songs were after I listened. Since nothing was BAD, I guess Iโll give it a 3.
Ringing endorsement, I guess, that fits the album.

Just listened to this a few months back. I just donโt get why this band is so popular. The back half of the album is pretty good but this album is in the top 20 here along with the biggest albums of all time. Itโs justโฆ..fine?

Hysteria
Def Leppard
If the second half could keep up with the first half (or whittle a few out), it would be an all time classic album; a definite 5. Lot of it is cheesy especially with 2020s goggles, but it was a monster.

can a band be groundbreaking, influential and ahead of their time while also be borderline unlistenable? ladies and gentlemen, i present to you einstรผrzende neubauten.
much of the โmusicโ contained within is just a series of rhythmically paced machine sounds with primitive sounding guitars, synths, and drums. oh, and thereโs aggressive sounding german peppered throughout (much of the album is instrumental). definitely influenced bands such as nine inch nails, ministry and rammstein, however this album just wasnโt very good.

Pink Moon
Nick Drake
I know this game is very influential but I was mostly just bored. Didnโt care for his voice, the lyrics didnโt seem moving, the guitar work was fine and maybe at the time was miles better than anyone but now it just seems lost in the shuffle.
Then again, Iโm not an expert on anything so who cares.
