Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 50 – Santana, “Spirits Dancing In The Flesh”
Santana, Spirits Dancing In The Flesh, 1990 It’s quite possible that in 1990 there wasn’t a bigger Santana fan on the planet than me! I wrote the band’s name on my pencil case, and on my army surplus canvas bag. You were supposed to write things like MC Hammer and New Kids On The Block […]Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 45 – Yes, “Big Generator”
Yes, Big Generator, 1987 This one’s pretty funny. I bought this because I quite liked that 80s hit, Owner Of A Lonely Heart. Then, much later, I found out that was the band Yes. I’m not sure if I ever really liked the band Yes, but I did know their early prog records – the, […]Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 39 – Stevie Wonder, “Characters”
Stevie Wonder, Characters, 1987 Stevie Wonder is, as we all know I’d hope, A MUSICAL GENIUS! But this is where he absolutely runs out of juice I think. As rum as his 1980s was overall this is the nadir. This is the album where he sounds bored and desperate to be relevant – the curse […]Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 37 – Ma$e, “Welcome Back”
Ma$e, Welcome Back 2004 Mase. He was the new protégé after Biggie bought it. And back when Puff Daddy was blowing smoke up other people’s arses, not just his own. Mase hit in big with Harlem World and with his guest appearances in the late 1990s. Then he went soft. Welcome Back was his “comeback” […]Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 36 – Jim Morrison, “An American Prayer”
Jim Morrison, An American Prayer, 1978 I’ll always maintain that in terms of poetry, Jim Morrison had a spectacular voice. Maybe not anything special as actual poetic voice – but his spoken-world delivery was superb. He was just mad enough and insecure enough to want to try to believe everything he said. But quite apart […]Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 34 – Yanni, “Live At The Acropolis”
Yanni, Live At The Acropolis, 1994 I’m not sure this is a crap album. I’m not sure it ever was. But I do know it was a guilty pleasure of sorts. And I do know a lot of people thought Yanni was crap. Probably without ever listening to him. And this was him at his […]Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 29 – Robbie Robertson, “How To Become Clairvoyant”
Robbie Robertson, How To Become Clairvoyant, 2011 He was in The Band – and not just in the band but he wrote or co-wrote most of the great material, many of the best songs you might ever hear. So Robbie Robertson is destined to get a free pass it seems. Because he is – as […]Archive
