I'm doing the 1001 albums before you die challenge, this is part of this journey. at least in the US this LP sold almost as much as Nirvana's Nevermind. I feel like an old person writing and wel.l it worked for him. I can totally relate to living a rather comfortable life that does lent itself to inspire poignant lyrics, but why not go Bowie or Madonna and create a different character, full of magic and imagination. It is very fascinating too, that Robert, a rich kid From Michigan created a white trash persona to create music, instead of something more imaginative. But it reminded me of popular music of today, as it has that pornographic quality of the lyrics, completely void of any subtlety. I mean, I get now why it was so popular, at least in the US, it is very well produced and it's never boring. 1001 Albums before we die Inspired by a not completely original idea that we saw somewhere else, we bought ‘1001 Albums: You Must Hear Before You Die’ and are working through it with the help of Spotify, a random number generator to choose the page and a coin toss if 2 albums on a page. Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (19.This album came out when I was fifteen, and my little arrogant self thought that I was to too sophisticated for it.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 21 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the second highest ranking compilation on the list, after Elvis Presley's The Sun Sessions.
Goode, who re-appear in track after track.
John Lennon said that if you were to rename Rock 'n' Roll to any other name that name should be Chuck Berry, and he wasn't far off.Ĭhuck Berry is also an interesting author in the way that there is a clear universe to his music, populated with characters like Maybellene or Johnny B. This is a pretty amazing collection of hits from the mid-50s to the mid-60s, while none of them were number ones, they are doubtlessly some of the best rock of their time. Elvis completely pales in comparison, you can hear echoes of The Beatles, Beach Boys or even T-Rex here that you can't get in any other of his contemporaries. When you talk about influential early rock and rollers this collection is all the evidence you need to claim Chuck Berry as the most influential of them all.
