Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 24 2026

One of the first tapes I bought. Back in Black was the first song I learned to play on guitar. Was one of my all time favorites thirty years ago. Probably doesn’t crack my top 100 now but still a classic. Also like Bon Scott AC/DC more than Brian Johnson.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 25 2026

I can’t believe I’ve never heard this before. Used to listen to a lot of blues but was more into the guitar players. This is a classic for sure. I think I still like the famous blues guitarists a little more.

Mar 26 2026

Great album and a classic for sure but not my favorite James Brow. No Maceo Parker or Clyde Stubblefield.

Rio by Duran Duran
Mar 27 2026

Was disappointed with this after the first three albums were bona fide classics. Had only heard the hits. New religion is a great song. This album is not a must listen before you die. Not bad but not great either.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 28 2026

Good but Dusty In Memphis is so much better. If that album doesn’t show then I don’t think this list is legit.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Mar 29 2026

Have heard all the well known songs on this one a million times. A lot of classics. Definitely a great album

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Mar 30 2026

Never heard of this artist before but I like it.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 31 2026

A lot of weird stuff which I like but I don’t hear anything that’ll get repeat listening. Enjoyed more on a second listen with headphones.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Apr 01 2026
Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Apr 02 2026

This is not an album I needed to hear before I die. It’s not bad but not great either. So far I’m disappointed with this whole 1001 albums thing.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jul 23 2026

Tina’s voice is amazing but the 80s production sounds like shit.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jul 24 2026

Not the worst album on here but couldn’t finish and no need to revisit. Another one I don’t need to hear before I die. This list is shit.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Aug 03 2026

This would be a great album if there were no vocals.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 04 2026

One of the most overrated albums of all time by one of the most overrated rock artists of all time. Some great songs for sure but the production sounds like absolute shit like most 80’s albums.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 07 2026
