Sarah’s Reviews > The Mojo Collection: The Greatest Albums of All Time > Status Update


1. Jimi Hendrix Experience Electric Ladyland, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “1983”
4. Notes: It's been a hard week, so I did something rare on Friday: called in sick, took 30mg of Delta-9, turned off the lights, turned on my NASA star projector (🤓), and listened to this album on repeat for hours. Embarrassing, but it really did the trick!

1. Whistler, Chaucer, Detroit & Greenhill The Unwritten Works of Geoffrey, Etc. , 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “As Pure As The Freshly Driven Snow”
4. Notes: I have to laugh at two things here: 1. That band name/album title is a LOT, no? And much as I hate Chaucer, I won’t hold it against the band. 2. Could'a been the theme song of my first half ;) https://youtu.be/7YHQVEtnwxk?si=fIrZu...


1. The Jeff Beck Group, Truth, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “Beck's Bolero”
4. Notes: I chose my fave not because it’s the best on the album, but because it validates MOJOs claim this album, “laid the foundations for what would become heavy metal.” Especially around the 1:30 minute mark, you really start hearing how blues and metal are joined at the hip: https://youtu.be/28bN6vi_FgA?feature=...


1. The Byrds, Sweetheart of The Rodeo, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “The Christian Life”
4. Notes: Figures I’d find this song after it no longer applies. There would’a been a day it was my anthem. This performance was recorded in my hometown, at one of my favorite venues. https://youtu.be/RGuAAFgQoxo?feature=...


1. David Ackles, David Ackles, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “Lotus Man”
4. Notes: Ackles is one hell of a songwriter, and I can’t figure out how I’ve never heard of him before! Thank you, MOJO, for a really good find. https://youtu.be/uLdFAtaWSzk?feature=...


1. Nilsson, Aerial Ballet, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “Mr. Richland's Favorite Song”
4. Notes: Harry Nilsson was The Beatles’ favorite songwriter, which is quite a commendation. https://youtu.be/ipwyicMEkbQ?feature=...


1. Blue Cheer, Outsideinside, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Fave: “Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger”
4. Notes: MOJO calls this band, “…one of the founding fathers of the metal genre.” They also call my fave track “proto-grunge.” I didn't enjoy this album, but I’m officially impressed by the seeds they apparently sowed for the likes of both Sabbath and Nirvana.

1. The Band, Music From Big Pink, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “The Weight”
4. Notes: I wish I were sophisticated enough not to love this song, but that’s a losing battle.

1. The Millennium,Begin, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “The Island”
4. Notes: I dislike this album, but I’m impressed by its forward lean. The electronic soundscapes, sampling, and layered melodies feel different than what most were doing in 1968. In fact, it reminds me of Belle and Sebastian.

1. J.K. & Co., Suddenly One Summer, 1968
2. Whole album: ✅
3. Favorite: “Christine”
4. Notes: This album is Eliott Smith level depressing, without all the talent. I picked my fave based solely on the fact it didn’t make me want to slit my…
