Must Hears: #63
Still at the dawn of innovating rock music, the genre was still in baby steps when The Velvet Underground and Nico made this groundbreaking record, named after themselves. Even though nothing on the outside shows any signs of a depressive sound, the album very much has it. I was looking at the Genius annotations, which I had to, because otherwise I couldn't have guessed what they were singing about, and by the 4th track I realized this album takes every nostalgic feeling ... read more

Another legendary black woman appears on the list after Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone, and she appears with a bang, Aretha Franklin's I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You was a very successful genre switch that elevated her music by a lot.

Most of the tracks are ... read more

The production is mostly stripped back, but at times it can be so rich, I like this duality, it pleases everyone's taste who's open to this genre of music. Paul Simon really takes you through very different emotions in ... read more

Nina Simone's insane run continues with Wild Is The Wind, an album full of leftovers from 1964 and 1965 studio recordings. I gotta say, if these are the leftovers, she was having a feast, because these tracks are very high-quality. The only way the album feels like leftover tracks is because the wide range of the songs' genres and their sequencing, besides that, it sounds like any of her greatest projects. She's a master of vocal jazz, a genre that speaks to my ... read more
