50 ALBUMS THAT CHANGED MUSIC, Part 4

50 Albums that Changed Music, Part 4

On we go, starting the second half of our countdown of the London Observer’s list of “50 Albums that Changed Music.” Interestingly, we have few arguments with their choices for this section of the list (except perhaps their position – shouldn’t Jimi Hendrix have appeared higher on the list?). I certainly agree with the inclusion of each of the American artists that appear here. Even the Eurocentric choices are mostly spot-on, although I doubt many Americans would include the Stone Roses on any list such as this. Nevertheless, here are the albums that we cover in today’s show. A good time is guaranteed for all!
25) Jamrs Brown – Live at the Apollo
26) Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
27) Jimi Hendrix – Are You Experienced?
28) Prince and the Revolution – Purple Rain
29) Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon
30) The Wailers – Catch a Fire
31) The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses
32) Otis Redding – Otis Blue
33) Herbie Hancock – Head Hunters

Interesting compilation. Back in the US, a local radio station on Long Island has been doing a weekly show about this list with opinions from the other side of the Atlantic. The show is called "American Hit Radio" and the archived broadcast are available @ http://www.shaddupandlisten.com/. I think some folks might find these shows entertaining.

Peace Out
