I really like the YouTube Music Mixes, especially the Supermix which pulls from all the music I have liked on the service. Some mixes are mood based like chill, focus, energize and such which I also enjoy. Some are genre based though which I rarely…
American Idiot – Green Day I really had very low expectations going in to this one, I am familiar with a few of their songs from radio and thought they were tolerable, but not really a fan. I thought this was pretty decent though if…
Parallel Lines – Blondie I can’t recall the last time I listened to a Blondie album from start to finish, it’s got to be 30 years and I think it was Autoamerican. I enjoyed this tremendously though, the songs are great, the band sounds great…
We’re Only In It For The Money – The Mothers of Invention I think this is very much a product of the time when it was created and perhaps it doesn’t carry forward so well. I like FZ a lot but this was missing the…
Green River – Creedence Clearwater Revival Another really solid release from Creedence, these guys were on a tear. So many great songs here from arguably America’s best band. I think this might be one of my favorite songs of theirs – it’s just a quintessential…
Licensed to Ill – Beastie Boys Even the Led Zeppelin samples aren’t going to make this something I want to listen to, although I do have a sudden craving for White Castle for some reason… To learn more about the 1001 Albums Project, I first…
Greetings From L.A. – Tim Buckley I never really took the time to listen to anything by Tim Buckley which surprises me a little considering how much I enjoy his son Jeff’s music. Having now listened to this I can say they are nothing alike.…
Blackstar – David Bowie Released Jan 8, 2016 followed only two days later by his unexpected death, I am never sure when I listen to this album whether it is melancholy in sound or if my own melancholy influences how I hear it. This album…
Play – Moby This isn’t really my thing so I went in to it not expecting to like it. What surprised me is just how much I hated it. Every second of it. To learn more about the 1001 Albums Project, I first wrote about…
Sunshine Hit Me – The Bees Loungy and sunny feeling – yesListenable – yesMemorable – no To learn more about the 1001 Albums Project, I first wrote about it here.
The Doors – The Doors Thirteen and fourteen year old me lived for this band. I listened to Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine on cassette, I read the obligatory No One Here Gets Out Alive book, I drew the logo on every desk as…
Let’s Get It On – Marvin Gaye A few years ago I dropped my wife off at the grocery store so she could go shopping. It was a nice day so i decided to just hang out in the car. I found a shady spot,…
África Brasil – Jorge Ben Jor When I don’t understand the lyrics because they are in a different language I often wonder if the music matches the theme of the song. This album sounds very joyful, hopefully the lyrics convey the same or I will…
Headquarters – The Monkees This was an odd Monkees album, I was not familiar with any of the songs going in to it, and many I wouldn’t have known it was them. Not sure if that is because of their greater influence and participation on…
Rubber Soul – The Beatles This was the first Beatles album I bought for myself, at Hegewisch Records in Calumet City. at around age 11. I’m a bit ashamed to admit that at the time I wasn’t yet aware of the difference between the US…
