The higher we climb, the stranger the view….
For the past four weeks, we’ve been ‘counting up’ a list entitled “50 Albums that Changed Music”, as compiled by the London Observer. There have been a fair number of selections that we disagreed with on this list, but our biggest objection now revolves around the entire concept; Since they allow each artist to appear only once (probably in the name of diversity), the list is irreparably skewed away from the most influential artists (only one Beatles album?)
Nevertheless, today’s entries appear to be fairly well-chosen. I can’t say I agree with each choice (especially considering who is missing from the list (no Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin?), but there is little doubt that each of these entries changed music one way or another. Here is a list of the artists/albums covered in today’s show;
34) Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
35) The Ramones – The Ramones
36) The Who – My Generation
37) Massive Attack – Blue Lines
38) Radiohead – The Bends
39) Michael Jackson – Thriller
40) Run DMC – Run DMC
41) Chic – Chic
42) The Smiths – The Smiths
