Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The White Stripes – Elephant – Rating: 3 / 5 I recognize the talent here and can understand why they’re well loved, but The White Stripes just aren’t for me. 3rd album of theirs, and only one of them I’ve really enjoyed.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Soft Boys – Underwater Moonlight – Rating: 1 / 5 2 plus hours of British psych rock. You must be out of your freaking mind. There is no way I’m wasting my morning on this shit. 5 songs in and I was like not a chance bruh.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Portishead – Third – Rating: 2 / 5 This Portishead album is rough. I love their Dummy album, but this album was a struggle.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Bruce Springsteen – Born In The U.S.A. – Rating: 4 / 5 Bruce has been both good and bad on this list, and this album is definitely a good one. It’s possible I’ve heard this album in full as a kid, but I definitely don’t remember it well. Enjoyable listen Other Albums: Rico Sasaki – RI PATHOS – Rating: 3.75 / 5 Favorite Videos: tofubeats…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Haircut 100 – Pelican West – Rating: 4 / 5 I actually really enjoyed this album. When I saw the cover looking like a bunch of Mormons hanging out at a retreat, I was like there is no way this is gonna be good. But this is the new wave I want to hear. Now to be fair, this doesn’t belong on the list, but I’m glad I got introduced […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Gorillaz – Gorillaz – Rating: 5 / 5 This is one of the few purely 5 out of 5 albums for me. No 4.5, no 4.75… just 5 out of damn 5. There is not a bad track, or even mediocre track on this album. It is just an amazing experience from start to finish, and one of my favorite albums of all time Favorite Videos: Ode to Love & […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Turbonegro – Apocalypse Dudes – Rating: 2.5 / 5 This album started off decently enjoyable, but about halfway through I got kind of tired of it. It’s just good enough that about 30 minutes is the limit. Going almost an hour really made the imperfections stand out more. Other Albums: Shye – The Doves Came Home – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Favorite…

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: Willie Colón & Rubén Blades – Siembra – Rating: 5 / 5 A perfect album, filled with amazing songs from 2 all time greats! I was walking the dog while listening to this and had to keep myself from dancing along the path. Also I gotta call this out, but I saw a 1 star review and laughed when I saw one of their top ranked artists was Bob…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Joe Ely – Honky Tonk Masquerade – Rating: 1 / 5 The only honky tonk I want to experience is The Honky Tonk Man from 80’s WWE. This is just another trash ass country album that no one should bother with. Other Albums: Lila Downs – Cambias Mi Mundo – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Favorite Videos: 【Record Map / Fukuoka】LIVING STEREO in Yakuin,…

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 – […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Hüsker Dü – Warehouse: Songs And Stories – Rating: 2.25 / 5 Didn’t think it was that bad for the first 30 minutes, and was leaning towards a 3… realized it had another 40 minutes to go, and was like NOPE, not that good. Favorite Videos: Hikaru Utada “One Last Kiss” from TBS系『CDTVライブ！ライブ！』 MAESO “Un Beso No Da” | On The Radar Puerto Rico 싸이…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Stereo MC’s – Connected – Rating: 2 / 5 Damn this is boring… Not bad, just boring. Just more Brit Bias… and considering how many good hip hop albums are missing, it’s kind of just pathetic that the people who put this list together are allowed to talk about music ever. Favorite Videos: 5월 장미가 리어카에 탑승했습니다🌹 | 정소연 – 너뿐이야 + 그대에게 불러봐요 +…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Dwight Yoakam – Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room – Rating: 2 / 5 Almost gave this a 1 star because 1) it’s country music, and 2) Dude needs therapy. The only reason I’m upping it to a 2 is the incorporation of Mexican styles, especially songs reminding me of Tejano music. Favorite Videos: ITZY “Motto” Dance Video (Rooftop Ver.) Mercy Mercy…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Paul McCartney – McCartney – Rating: 3 / 5 The perfect example of “it’s fine”. Like what about this album screams I must hear this before I die? This is just more Brit/Beatles bias.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Daft Punk – Homework – Rating: 4 / 5 Was originally looking at a 4.5 rating, but that song “Burnin’” almost made me rage quit the album. It got so painfully annoying, I did finally hit skip, and thankfully the album was back to being great. Other Albums: Conton Candy – SUPPIN – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Favorite Videos: Grrrl Gang – Full Performance…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Bees – Sunshine Hit Me – Rating: 1 / 5 Holy shit, how does this take up a slot on this list? This was bad, and some of those first few tracks is just straight up appropriation, and done poorly. Ended my listen at around track 5 or 6. Eesh Other Albums: ITZY – Motto – Rating: 3.75 / 5 Strawberry Station – ISSHO-NI!!! – Rating: 4.5 / 5…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The La’s – The La’s – Rating: 2 / 5 I know a single song from this band, and that’s because of movies. If you had asked who the band was behind the song, I would have never guessed it. This album kind of showed me why this is. Outside of “There She Goes”, the rest of this album is bland and boring. I finally hit the stop button when […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP – Rating: 5 / 5 Eminem’s best work in my opinion, and one that suffers only a bit from skits that weren’t great then, and definitely did not age well 20+ years later. Yet the songs are so good, it’s easy to skip and overlook the skits. Other Albums: Jasmine Myra – Where Light Settles – Rating: 4.25 / 5…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Neil Young – After The Gold Rush – Rating: 3 / 5 This was fine overall. There were some choices with how Neil sounds when he sings that I did not enjoy, especially on “Southern Man”. Further proof this limit would benefit from limiting itself to only 2 albums per artist. Other Albums: E-40, Cousin Fik, & Hitta Slim – The Assembly – Rating:…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Dr. Octagon – Dr. Octagonecologyst – Rating: 4 / 5 I never really got into Kool Keith or his alter ego albums back in the ‘90s like one of my friends was, but as I got older I was able to appreciate them more. The major issue with this album is the run time is over an hour. Could have cut out 15 to 20 minutes and it would have […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Tim Buckley – Goodbye And Hello – Rating: 1 / 5 Holy shit this was not good. Can’t get over how bad this dude is.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Pearl Jam – Ten – Rating: 5 / 5 Love this album so much. Immediately transported back to my teenage years.
