The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars – David Bowie
If you’re reading this, congrats. You have finally finished the expedition that was scrolling past that title. I get Ziggy is a strange guy, but Jesus, what a title. Unforgettable. This is one of my favorite albums, if not my favorite, that I’ve listened to during this quest, which has now spanned past 125 albums Continue reading

Songs for the Deaf – Queens of the Stone Age
For what I hope is not the last time – Thank you Dave Grohl. I would have not known about this album without reading your book. To get even more detailed, which I am deeming necessary, I would’ve never known about this if not for Frank getting me more into Nirvana, which led me to Continue reading

Electric Warrior – T.Rex
Can you tell what music I’ve been into lately? Thank you to my uncle for putting me on to this album from British artist T.Rex, lead by the talented but tragically short-lived Marc Bolan (who died at 30 in a car crash). To me, albeit this is my second listen, the album is everything that Continue reading

The Doors – The Doors
I’ve been staring down this review for quite some time. It’s intimidated me. Not because I didn’t like this album (I did, and it was another on the roads of Italy, which added to its value), and not because I don’t think it has classic songs, a unique sound, incredible lyricism, all of the above. Continue reading

Dookie – Green Day
Dookie is a very important album in the general scape of music for many reasons. First off, it’s one of the best selling albums of all time. Secondly, there is so much that would’ve never happened if not for this album & Green Day in general, who adapted the punk/rock/grunge sound and added an element Continue reading

Them Crooked Vultures – Self-Titled
Thank you Dave Grohl! I would’ve never known about this great album if not for the (oft-mentioned on this blog, I know) fantastic autobiography of his. This self-titled album is a one-off from a great rock trio of Dave Grohl (who needs no introduction but will get one – leader of Foo Fighters and drummer Continue reading

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace – Foo Fighters
Do you see a theme here? Yes, I just read Dave Grohl’s autobiography, and entonces I am revisiting the discography of the Foo. This one fell a bit flat for me, a bit too rock and roll-y and generic. So far my least favorite. This review will be short because you should be spending your Continue reading

Foo Fighters – The Colour and The Shape
I don’t have as much detail on the making as this one, which you can attribute to Dave Grohl’s description of Foo Fighters being much more detailed (and also pertinent) in his book. I think so far, this album is solidified as #2. The album feels like it has much more mainstream rock qualities in Continue reading

Foo Fighters – Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl’s self titled solo debut – only about a year removed from the passing of Kurt Cobain and the ensuing break-up of Nirvana – was recorded sequentially over the span of 6 days in a recording studio near his home. Even more impressive, he played all of the fucking instruments himself (sans one guitar Continue reading

Bleach – Nirvana
Bleach! I kinda didn’t know this album existed, but I’m glad I listened to it. It is way more metal-y than the other Nirvana records which doesn’t entirely suit my ear, but Cobain + Grohl will always do it for me. A friend of mine (Hi Frank) told me that In Utero is sort of Continue reading
