I Just Had To

I just noticed that Prince was on George Lopez a couple weeks ago to promote his 21 nights in a row at the L.A. Forum. He performed 2 songs on Lopez, Lay Down and The Beautiful Ones. Here is the video. Enjoy.

Day 18: Nightmare on Wax - Smokers Delight

Another instrumental album. I liked this one a bit more than I like Tubular Bells, only because it is more contemporary. It kind of reminded me of music that would be on a Laurence Fishburn movie soundtrack. It is a combination of R&B and Jazz. The whole album was pretty mellow, and the problem I'm finding listening to instrumental albums is that because the songs on the album are the same style, by halfway through all the songs start to sound the same to me. Just not enough variation on this one to keep me interested. I could see this being an album that you would put on while having a some friends over to hang out, but it was a little too slow for a party or for dancing.

2/5 for being slightly better than Tubular Bells 

Day 17: Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill

I have to admit I don't really relate to rap music very well. I have some rap on my Ipod, mostly Eminem, but I just don't relate to the drug culture, violence and misogyny that are the common themes of the songs. One thing I do like, usually, is the music. I do enjoy driving bass that you can crank up and rattle the windows. Having said that, this album was pretty much what I expected it to be. A bunch of songs about getting high and killing people. I am sure to some, it is one of the best. I'm just not the best judge of it, because I don't understand it, and by the time I got to the end of the album I was bored of it.

I did find out though that one of my all time favorite Rage Against the Machine songs "How I could Just Kill a Man" was originally a Cypress Hill song.

Video is NSFW - Language.

1/5 for giving Rage an awesome song to cover. Long live Tommy Morello

Tomorrow: Nightmares on Wax - Smokers Delight

Day 16: Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Tubular bells is mostly an instrumental album (some lyrics thrown in here and there) with a lot of, you guessed it, bells. Originally when the album came out in '73, on vinyl, there was side A - tubular Bells part 1, and side B - Tubular bells part 2, with each track running about 25 minutes. Throughout the instrumentals Oldfield changes the instrumentation around adding and removing different ones as the song progresses.
Overall I wasn't really that impressed. Parts of the songs didn't really flow all that well, and at other times it sounded just kinda like noise. At best this is an album that I might put on in the background while doing other things, but I could think of lots of better albums to listen to instead.

1/5 for making music by playing with your bells

Tomorrow: Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill

By the way....

I should have mentioned this earlier, if anyone wants to listen to specific albums that I review the following link streams them all. Just type the album name in the search box and you can listen to the entire album online.

Edit: I've added the link to the "my favorite websites" list

Day 15: The Lemonheads - It's a Shame about Ray

This album was short and sweet. Most of the tracks are 2 minutes or less, really catchy and really good. The lemonheads remind me a lot of a band that I listened to as a teenager, The Candyskins, who are not on the list of 1001, but in my opinion should be. I found myself wishing that I had heard this album long ago so that I already knew the songs and I could have enjoyed it that much more. I might just have to listen to it again tomorrow.

Deserving of a couple videos I think.

I'm sure there are going to be albums out of the 1001 that I will hear for the first time and recommend that everyone hear, this is definitely one of them. Enjoy.

5/5 for pure fun

Tomorrow: Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Day 14: Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

So this was the 1st Tom Waits album I have ever listened to. I know who he is and I have heard some of his songs before, although I couldn't tell you the name of one of them. The album was just o.k. It seemed like it was a concept album of some sort as the songs kind of loosely meshed. I think maybe I missed the message of it though and would need to listen to it numerous times to finally get it.

For those of you that don't know Mr. Waits has a very distinctive voice to say the least. It was actually the hardest thing for me. I really just didn't care for his singing. I think there are a couple more of his albums on the list so I'll have my opportunity develop a taste for his music.

1/5

Tomorrow: Lemonheads - It's a Shame about Ray

New Ideas for the Blog

I'm thinking about occasionally featuring an album that is not on the list but is one that I personally think everyone should hear and also reviewing any new music that I get over the course of next 2-1/2 years. I want to know if anyone would be interested in this or do you just want me to stick to the 1001 albums?
Let me know.

Day 13: Buck Owens - I've Got a Tiger by the Tail

I'm usually not a big fan of country. Well lets be honest, I don't like it. But this album I really liked. This is old school country. This is your parents or your grandparents country. Full of fiddles, twangy slide guitar and heartache. Not the Crock (country-rock) or Pountry (pop-country) that is played today.

While I was listening to it, it brought back tons of memories of my grandpa Jim watching Grand Ole Opry at night when we visited him, or driving to Ottawa with him singing silly country songs the whole way. It was good times.

So this one is for you Grandpa Jim, see ya on the other side.

5/5 for bringing back childhood memories.

Tomorrow: Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

Day 12: Television - Marquee Moon

Happy Easter. I'm posting early so I can go to the in-laws and eat some good food.

Television is a band from the early 70s that made punk/new wave music. Marquee Moon was actually pretty good. The lead singer reminds me a lot of Mick Jagger, but not as talented. Overall I'm a bit confused why it is on the list. Nothing really stood out to me as amazing in way of the music or lyrics. It was an album that could have and has been made my thousands of bands already.

Here is the albums title track. It's just as good as any to share I guess.

1/5 for leaving me indifferent towards your music

Tomorrow: Buck Owens - I've Got a Tiger by the Tail

Day 11: Cocteau Twins - Treasure

Out of the few albums I have listened to so far this was the 1st one that I really wanted to shut off, I didn't though, I stuck it out to the end. After about track 4 I actually thought I was having a stroke and the part of my brain that understands language was destroyed. The lead singer was singing but the words made no sense. It didn't even sound like a different language. So i looked the band up on wikipedia to figure out what the heck was going on. According to the website the singer likes to "obscure" her lyrics. Obscure??? That's an understatement.

The only song that was decent, only cause the beat was good. If anyone can figure out what she is singing let me know.

0/5 for thinking that people want the lyrics of the songs they listen to obscured

Tomorrow: Television - Marquee Moon

Day 10: CCR - Cosmo's Factory

I listened to this album twice straight through it was so good. It's chalk full of classic blues-rock hits that I know everyone has heard at one time or another. I can totally picture sitting in the backyard on a hot summer afternoon, having a BBQ just chilling out listening to this album.

5/5 for great songs, great guitar work, and a great album.

Tomorrow: Cocteau Twins - Treasure

Day 9: Sepultura - Arise

Wow, wow, wow. These guys are like a kick in the face, but in a good way. If you need something to listen to that will get you wound up, bouncing off the walls, ready to kick the world's ass this is the album to listen to.

It actually reminded me alot of old school Metallica, but different in the fact that James can actually sing and the "singer" of Sepultura can't. Most of the time it is just a loud scream/sing that he does, but it works. I loved how they open each song in an interesting way before they assault your brain with hard hitting drums and loud in your face guitar.

4.5/5  \m/ *_* \m/  Long Live Metal!

Tomorrow: Creedence Clearwater Revival – Cosmo’s Factory

Day 8: Fugazi - Repeater

Hardcore punk done 90s style. I really liked this album. The singing wasn't the strongest, but I pretty sure having a good voice isn't a prerequisite for being in a punk band. They may even kick you out for it. This album had it's fair share of obnoxious in your face angst. A lot of the songs were really pretty good, and I would definitely listen to them again.

3.5/5 for having Johnny Rotten as your childhood hero.

Tomorrow:  Sepultura – Arise

Day 7: Zombies - Odessey & Oracle (& Bonus Album)

Zombies - Odessey & Oracle
I learned today that psychedelic 60s music is not my thing. This album was just way too out there for me. Interesting fact about it though, the band broke up before the album was released. I had heard one of the songs before and it was the only redeeming quality of the album.



1/5 for breaking up before you made a second album

Pink Floyd - The Wall

So occasionally I will have conversations with different people about music, and if you know me you know I am very opinionated about what music is good, bad ect. Ultimately the conversations lead to me listing off the bands that I just can't stand for various reasons. "Band "X", "Y", "Z" suck. I don't know how anyone could like them." Pink Floyd was always included on that list.

I'm not exactly sure how they ended up on the list but there they were. I don't even think I had listened to a Pink Floyd album before today. Well, I am retracting my previous shunning of Pink Floyd for ever more. They are really good. I loved The Wall. The songs really got me involved with the album and captivated me with the lyrics and story they were trying to tell. At times it really rocked, other times it was slow and mellow, but all of them really, really good.

So here is my official apology Floyd. 5/5 for dissing you

Tomorrow: Fugazi - Repeater

Day 6: Bonus Albums

Had some extra time today to listen to a few more albums while studying for my exams.

Ali Farka Toure - Talking Timbuktu

I had absolutely no idea what this album would be. It turns out that it is an album of native African music with additional blues add by none other than Ry Cooder.  I liked the album, it was interesting to listen to, but I got bored after about half of it, because i couldn't understand any of the singing. It was calming and I liked all of the different instruments used, but it wasn't really something I would ever listen to again, or consider one of the albums I had to hear before I died. 2/5


Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Another album I have listened to hundreds of times, and it never gets old. Definitely a classic.

5/5 No Beastie Boys, No Eminem

Sonic Youth - Sister

Sonic youth is a band that I have heard of before and a lot of people like, but I know nothing about. They remind me a lot of The Tragically Hip, whom I love. Overall the album was pretty good. It was up beat and kept me listening, although it was strange at times.

3/5 for making original music

Tomorrow: Zombies -  Odessey & Oracle

Day 6: Little Richard - Here's Little Richard

I recognized some of the songs on the album and to be honest they were just alright. I mean the lyrics were simplistic, and most of the songs sound the same, but as I listened to them I tried to figure out what the big deal was. Then it came to me. This album was released in 1957 and was so amazingly different than all other music that had been made up until then. For a black man in 1957 to be playing these types of songs really knocked people's socks off. It was fun, exciting, wild and crazy music, and for the time it was really something special.
To say Little Richard was groundbreaking is an understatement.

5/5 for paving the way for Rock and Roll

Tomorrow: Ali Farka Toure - Talking Timbuktu

Day 5: Prince - Purple Rain

I remember in 1984 a friend of mine, Shane Ryan, won tickets to go and see the movie Purple Rain on opening night. Until then I had heard a couple Prince songs, Delirious and 1999, but really hadn't paid much attention to his music. I remember going to the movie and being completely blown away. I never knew music could be so powerful, so alive, so emotional, so freaking amazing. The album Purple Rain, in my opinion, is nearly perfect. The music, lyrics and flow of the album truly take you on a journey. I can't even begin to count how many times I have listened to it before today, but it was awesome to listen to it again all the way through.

I think it is worthy of a couple videos.

26 years later I am still blown away. 5/5

Tomorrow: Little Richard - Here's Little Richard

Day 4: Venom - Black Metal

As I was thinking about having to listen to this album today, it occurred to me that I think my friend Bruce actually had a couple Venom albums back in the day. I'm glad I never listened to them  before because this was pretty much crap. Don't get me wrong, I love me some heavy metal, but British speed metal is just not my thing. In fact, by the time I got to the track "Teacher's Pet" I thought maybe someone was playing a joke on me.
Normally I will post a video of the best, or my favorite song from each album, but because all of these sucked so bad I figured it would be fitting to post the worst song - Teacher's Pet. Enjoy.


Try and stick it out to the 2min30sec mark where it gets extra bad.
Rating - 1/5 (1 for not swearing profusely on top of being a %$^% band)

Tomorrow: Prince - Purple Rain
