Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Eagles – Eagles – Rating: 4 / 5 Was a good accompaniment album to my early morning dog walk. Mid 50’s, strolling along, and this album was just chill enough to make it a great soundtrack to it all. Other Albums: New Jazz Underground – Hoodies – Rating: 4.25 / 5 Hieroglyphics – All Said and Done – 4.5 / 5 You can buy the album early at…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Who – Live At Leeds – Rating: 1.25 / 5 What a joke. All this did was remind me that The Who had one of the worst Super Bowl Half Time shows ever. The Who doing blues of any kind just sounds like parody. Other Albums: aespa – LEMONADE – Rating: 4.5 / 5 RaiNao – Marcriá – Rating: 4.75 / 5 Favorite Videos: The Belair Lip Bombs – […]

Nektar’s Down to Earth 4CD box set pairs a remastered album with 26 bonus tracks, rare sessions, unseen photos, and a standout unreleased 1975 concert.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Lynyrd Skynyrd – (Pronounced ‘Leh-‘Nérd ‘Skin-‘Nérd) – Rating: 4.25 / 5 This was a really good album, with some iconic songs, but it didn’t click for me like CCR albums due when it comes to southern rock/country rock. Favorite Videos: Amber Mark – By The End of the Night (Live From Vevo Studios) La Doña – Full Performance (Live on KEXP)…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Stooges – The Stooges – Rating: 1.5 / 5 This was not a good album. Even at around 30 minutes, this felt like it was going on forever. Terrible singer, not interesting at all music wise. Make the author of this list the 5th member, because he’s a stooge himself for all these bad picks. Favorite Videos: Gloria Groove : Tiny Desk Brasil…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – Architecture And Morality – Rating: 2.5 / 5 I was enjoying this for awhile, but it is an album that eventually suffers from overstaying its welcome.

Wer ein Füllhorn voll mit melodischem Überschwang in Verbindung mit 70ies-Flair-Hard-Rock suchte, wurde im Schwarzer Keiler fündig. Ein Abend von immenser Qualität.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Rolling Stones – Exile On Main Street – Rating: 3.25 / 5 I just don’t get the hype. I have yet to be impressed by a full album of TRS. This is one of the better ones, but not by much. Other Albums: Isaia Huron – Mr. Lovebomb – Rating: 4 / 5 Gregory Hutchinson – Kind of Now: The Pulse of Miles Davis – Rating: 4.25 / 5 […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: King Crimson – Larks’ Tongues In Aspic – Rating: 3 / 5 Again, another fine album from this band. Not usually my style, but once again they manage to get me to enjoy it more than most Other Albums: Thundercat – Distracted – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Favorite Videos: NiziU 「Too Bad」 from NiziU Live with U 2026 “NEW EvoNUtion” KROI | COSMOS Session [In…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tarkus – Rating: 2.25 / 5 This album definitely happened. I liked the first track, but then the album drifted off into just being noise in the background. I don’t even remember when the album actually ended, just noticed at some point it was quiet. Favorite Videos: CHANMINA – TEST ME (AREA OF DIAMOND 4 @有明アリーナ)…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Peter Frampton – Frampton Comes Alive – Rating: 3 / 5 Another live rock album, which I’m convinced is an excuse to just get hits compilations onto this list. It’s probably one of the better ones, but it still doesn’t belong here. Other Albums: Slayyyter – WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA – Rating: 3.75 / 5 Robyn – Existential – Rating: 3.75 / 5…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Traffic – Traffic – Rating: 2.25 / 5 It’s fine, but a bit too long. This album could have been 2 or 3 songs shorter and I probably would have rated it higher.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Who – The Who Sell Out – Rating: 1 / 5 I couldn’t finish this album. There are some odd choices for their songs, and I found it just downright annoying. Favorite Videos: [LIVE DAN] HYNN (Park Hye-won) – Don’t Stop YO!

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed – Rating: 2 / 5 I just don’t get the love for The Rolling Stones. I find them to be pretty boring. They have some songs I like, but when it comes down to full albums I’m always left disappointed. Might be one of the most overhype bands I’ve had to listen to. Other Albums: Catbeats – Smiski In The Moss –…

Sure, Bon Jovi's history makes for a fine biopic, but we'd prefer the rollercoaster stories of treachery, tragedy, and pure grit that these rock bands faced.

The new Paul McCartney doc sent us digging through the Wings catalog, and we think these tracks, including "Mrs. Vanderbilt" and "Soily," never got their due.

Deep Purple – Made In Japan – Rating: 2.25 / 5 I almost went with a 2.5 or higher, but some of the instrument solos were overly long and downright annoying. One time they decided to make a grating noise to kick off a track and it made me audibly yell out “WTF”, and I just hit skip. Again, outside of live jazz albums, we don’t need live rock albums on this list. JFC. Favorite Videos: Japanese New…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Paul Revere & The Raiders – Midnight Ride – Rating: 3 / 5 Better than I expected, but still not great. I had fun listening to a decent number of songs that a 3 is about the right score for this one. Doubt I’ll remember the album or ever come back to it Other albums: Throwback Thursday Edition The Smashing Pumpkins – Siamese Dream – Rating:…
