    And apparently the Bongo Band album was not on the list (I was going by something online) soooo... I lost a number :lol:

    Soooo....

    68- Carole King/Tapestry - One of the most wonderful albums of all time...First 3 songs are classics. A must listen as she is one the top 5 singer songwriters IMO.

    So I am going through this book and listening fully to all the albums on it... List a bit suspect but it was a present and its exposing me to fabulous stuff I never heard or re-visiting albums I have not listened in a long time..

    No cheating... All albums must be listened to ... First song to last ...

    So follow also on my journey or join me... I have been synopsing on my Facebook (through 51 albums so far picked randomly) Look me up (Adam Behlman) there or I'll start posting the picks and a silly comment on here too..

    So right now 51/1001 - U2/Achtung Baby

    I love the first album, but then again I love anything Sinatra does.

    64/1001 - Incredible Bongo Band/Bondo Rock - If you like Bongo's you'll love this album!! Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida, with Bongos!!
    65/1001 Country Joe & The Fish/Electirc Music For the Mind and Body - Like I was back in the 80's in the backseat of my friends car... On the corner...
    66/1001- XTC/Skylarking - Dear God is a wonderful single. Did not connect with the rest of the album. Will listen again
    67/1001 - Q-Tip/The Renaissance - From listiening to ATCQ just a week ago, this is a huge step forward. More Jazz and Alternative than anything I have heard in hip hop. Queens Rules!!

    Give XTC a couple of spins this band was utterly fantastic studio band .....

    75/1001 The Blue Nile/A Walk Across The Rooftops - My first negative review ... I think Brian Ferry did this thing a whole lot better

    76/1001 Aerosmith/Toys In The Attic - SWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT EMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTION

    77/1001 - GNR/Appetite For Destruction - Aerosmith into GNR... What a progression! And kinda fits great...70's dirty rock vs 80's... Not even close IMO... GNR first listen was one of those moments you don't ever forget.

    Fell a little behind in the update here :shock:
    Had a busy listening weekend :mrgreen:

    78/1001 - Kate Bush/The Sensual World - The second half of album was great especially last 3 songs. Rocket Tail stands out.
    79/1001- Screaming Trees/Dust - A little early for one of my all-timers but it was worth it. Spun it 4x before moving on :lol:
    80/1001 - Brain Eno/Ambient 1:Music For Airports - Perfect for meditation
    81/1001- Doves/The Last Broadcast - Funny enough, did not like the famous single, but the rest of the album worked really well. Try it.
    82/1001 - Eminem/The Slim Shady LP - Holy Crap was that good - missed it when it came out... Makes the quest worth it.
    83/1001 - Orange Juice/Rip It Up - Know Edwyn Collins from his hit in the US, but great brit pop with a touch of ska
    84/1001 - Fairport Convention/Liege and Lief - Wowowowwowowow - Dead heads get on this...
    85/1001 - Paul McCartney/McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed is on of the best love songs of all time... some other great tunes but felt a bit incomplete.

    Having a great time :mrgreen:

    87/1001 - The Isley Brothers - Don Cornelius is missed
    88/1001 - The Beau Brummels/Triangle - The San Fransisco scene - Can you dig it?

    Are you just listening once and moving on? I've found that it takes about 5 listens before I start to really digest an album.
    Sometimes, especially when I don't get it on first listen... I agree with your assessment but I do wanna finish before I die :lol: :shock:

    :lol: I figured, just wondering.

    So this is what you've been doing since I've been gone. I've seen the posts on fb a few times, but haven't had the time to comment. Finally heading home to Florida Sunday, then heading to Colorado soon. I'll get in touch when I get back, we'll get together then, my friend :mrgreen: .
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    I'm listening to Led Zep II right now. My dad gave me all of his Zep vinyls and some others.

    I know I'm in the minority but the Beatles suck balls.

    Go ahead and rip me now.
    My butt itches!
