Kind of a mixed bag: good sounds coming in "Une Annee Sans Lumiere" and the sweet melody of "Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)" but overall it didn't impress. Your mileage may vary.
The Rolling Stones | The Rolling Stones (1964)
Blues-soaked rock with sparse rhythm and guitar work and many songs punctuated by a warbling harmonica. Listeners in 1964 must have thought they were listening to the latest from Memphis.
Erykah Badu | Mama's Gun (2000)
Whether heating up, or cooling down the groove, Erykah Badu has earned a spot as a permanent addition to my music library. Now I'm listening through her complete discography.
Alanis Morissette | Jagged Little Pill (1995)
Alanis Morissette takes a sad song, and makes it bitter. She and Loretta Lynn should form a support group.
Michael Jackson | Bad (1987)
Brilliant talent, but he should REALLY have started with the man in the mirror and changed his ways.
Loretta Lynn | Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (1966)
The entry in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die was "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin (With Lovin' On Your Mind" but I couldn't find a source for such an album. I chose instead to listen to Loretta Lynn's "All Time Greatest Hits" which includes that song.
There's no one better than Loretta Lynn at composing catchy, sing-along tunes describing the low-down, good-for-nothing, cheatin', drinkin', pigs that women are married to.
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die
My wife got this book and I've been listening. I plan to keep listening until I've finished the 1001.

Sparse instrumentation makes a fun bouncy style - not angry punk, pseudo intellectual
