A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 05 2024

While not a Beatles fan, I appreciate their artistic abilities and their willingness to depart from the musical status quo at the time. The album is well done, and while void of the original pops and crackles of vinyl production at the time, it is faithful to the musical qualities that define the Beatles.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 08 2024

Distinctive harmonies by this group, but I don't recognize many of their songs.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 09 2024

This is a rap album with the exception of one song, and has no "key" since there are no musical notes. That being said, "My Adidas" was cute/interesting.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jan 18 2024

Blues album with a couple of instrumentals.

Play by Moby
Jan 22 2024

Nice beat, but lack of lyric creativity. Can't understand most of what he says, but he keeps repeating the same line ad nauseum anyway, so who cares. Can't believe this one is in a top 1000 list; must be listed in the high 900s.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 24 2024

If a studio-generated album results in a singer sounding this "pitchy", I would hate to hear a live version!

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jan 25 2024

Good, smooth R&B album. Nice vocals, subtle beat, and no bad language.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 26 2024

One of the all-time greats. Super rock album.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 29 2024

Typical John Lennon; smooth listening though his voice is not that great. He could have left "Oh Yoko" out of this album.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 30 2024

Reminiscent of Beatles; good listening, the instrumentals are good but don't drown the lyrics. Many song with only guitar accompaniment. Good voice quality; lyrics can be understood. Must be about 15 songs on this album.
