I’m a sucker for lists of anything, and like anyone I go through them and mentally calculate how up-to-date or culturally aware I am, or not.
The following are records that all ranked on Mojo’s 1995 list of the Greatest Albums Ever Made, and while I’ve heard of all of them, and in some cases maybe a few tracks, no, in the ends, these are all records I don’t really know and certainly do not own.
I post them here, along with ranking number, as a reminder of what to buy the next time I’m in Papa Jazz and don’t know what to look for.
