Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 05 2024

I enjoyed the album Head Hunters. I am motivated to listen to more of Herbie Hancock’s music. What a musical genius!

Jan 08 2024

Though the it is a classic rock album, I found the original version to be rough as far as the mixing and sound engineering goes. I listened to a remixed version of the album and enjoyed it. There are several classic tracks on the album.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jan 09 2024

I have been listening to Wish You Were Here for forty plus years. It is a great album! Just in the past few years I have learned that Roy Harper did the vocals for Have A Cigar.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jan 10 2024

A very psychedelic album by Cream! Some of the more popular songs I had heard. Even Clapton seemed to have been experimenting a little bit! Over all I enjoyed the album.

Jan 11 2024

I found the album very psychedelic and unique. The band consisted of some very talented musicians, who didn’t play their instruments in a traditional rock and roll fashion.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 12 2024

One of my favorite rock albums of all time! I wore out a copy or two when I was younger. The guitar solo on Comfortably Numb is one of my favorites. David Gilmore is a fantastic player and has been one of my favorite players for a quite some time.

Jan 16 2024

I enjoyed listening to the Talking Heads album. It has me interested in hearing more from the Talking Heads.

Jan 17 2024

I really enjoyed listening to this album. I learned a lot about Otis Redding. For example, I didn’t know he wrote Respect.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jan 18 2024

I recognize the talent,but it is not my cup of tea.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jan 19 2024

A catchy fun album that grows on you! I’m glad it was on the list!

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jan 22 2024

Another awesome album by Mr. Stevie Wonder! This opportunity to listen to 1001 albums, has really reminded me of how great an artist Mr. Wonder truly is.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jan 24 2024

Worth another listen

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 29 2024

The album Rio reminds me of being a young man. A good friend introduced me to new wave in the early eighties. Rio by Duran Duran was one of those albums. It was a fun listen!

Rocks by Aerosmith
Feb 01 2024

A classic rock and roll album.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Feb 07 2024

I listened to the album twice yesterday and the second time was a charm. I was hooked! Elvis Costello is both unique and talented. He has a new fan!

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Feb 13 2024

I really enjoyed listening to this album. Ray Charles was truly a musical genius.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Feb 14 2024

Great album! The Police were so creative and innovative! I enjoyed listening to the album when I was younger and still enjoy listening to it now.

Closer by Joy Division
Feb 15 2024
Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 20 2024

The album Tapestry by Carole King reminded me of being a kid and listening to AM radio. Several of the songs were played on the radio, back in the day. I enjoyed listening to the album.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Feb 27 2024

Off the Wall is such a great R&B album! Quincy Jones showed his genius and talent and Michael Jackson did the same.

The Band by The Band
Mar 05 2024

I enjoyed listening to the album. A real classic Rock And Roll album. Great writing in the Band.

War by U2
Mar 08 2024

I love the music of early U2. I think the War album was a classic. Not only the big hits like Sunday Bloody Sunday, some of the less known ones such as Seconds as well.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 14 2024

I have a ton of respect for Neil Young as a songwriter and acoustic guitar player. I don’t care to listen to him play electric guitar.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Mar 20 2024

As a young man I heard some of Gary Numan on the radio, but never listened to the album. I really enjoyed listening to the album and plan to listen to it again. The synthesizers are spacey and tasty.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Apr 15 2024

An album packed with energy and memories. First album with Brian Johnson and he did well. I remember seeing the band when they toured for the Back in Black album. I couldn’t hear for days afterwards!

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 16 2024

Despite not being a big Dolly Parton fan I listen to the album. I enjoyed Early Morning Breeze and the title track Coat of many colors. I can see why this is considered a classic Dolly Parton album.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Apr 18 2024

This live album has so much energy! I think Cheap Trick takes it to another level when there playing live.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 19 2024

Jimi Hendrix was a creative genius and Electric Ladyland was his Magnum Opus. On the album he had tight concise songs like Crosstown Traffic and a cover of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower. Then he had songs like 1983 where he appeared like he was just letting his creative juices flow.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 30 2024
Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
May 06 2024

A great album showed the creativity in the band. So many musical instruments on the album, both acoustic and electric. Great writing and arrangements.
