How To Lose the Kinks in 7 Days

Listening to 1001 Albums ain’t easy.
Sometimes artists let you down.
This week, it was The Kinks. And it didn’t make it easy when Jimi Hendrix was a such a better replacement.
See what albums I listened to this week along with romcom themed sketches below:
Some Standouts from My Listens This Week:
Jimi Hendrix deserves the praise he gets. Three albums with no filler? Most artists can’t even get to one.
“Something Else by The Kinks” is extremely disappointing. Derivative, boring, and the complete opposite of the other album I listened to “Face to Face.”
Ravi Shankar is an incredible sitarist that knows how to introduce Eastern music to the Western ear in his album “The Sounds of India.”
The Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat” was not my cup of tea. With horrendous atonal noise and screeching for no purpose, it is the complete opposite of last week’s “The Velvet Underground and Nico”
Traffic’s self titled is a rad little record. Definitely worth a listen. There are groovin’ vibes present that are not unlike Foghat or Deep Purple.
What about “Electric Ladyland?”
That’s right! Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” made the “Album Spotlight” this week. I’ll talk about it in a separate video on Friday.
I’ll get into some track analysis and argue why it’s such a fantastic album when so many other Double LPs pale in comparison.
Hope you enjoyed my thoughts! Next week includes albums such as the Beatles “White Album”, The United States of America’s only album, and Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bookends.”
