A book with 1001 albums chosen by a panel of music critics to be the most important and influential in popular music. This site will help you listen to them all. One album a day.
This site is a simple resource to help you go through each of the “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.” I’ve been using it for maybe around a year(ish) now with some of my friends and it’s a great way to find new albums/artists you might not have listened to otherwise
Saved. I’m looking forward to discovering some good stuff!
Listened to From Elvis In Memphis today as per this website’s suggestion. I didn’t enjoy it as much as his debut album, but there were a couple of great songs on it regardless (I wasn’t a huge fan of In The Ghetto, surprisingly).
I’ve definitely found the 1001 to be hit and miss. Some albums seem like a solid 5/5, some albums I have no idea how they made the list. I think it’s the nature of the system.
Of course, I don’t mind listening to the occasional album that’s outside my tastes, if there’s some historical or cultural significance to it. Which seems to be what the list is going for. Plus, 1001 is a LOT of albums, there’s bound to be some duds.
Good idea, I assumed it was something that generates 1001 random albums to recommend to you…
Just started using this a couple weeks ago! Love it. I never listened to much music outside of OSTs until a year or so ago so this has been great in helping me catch up in a sense.
Looks Interesting. You’d be hoping each one is a gem. I will crosspost to !discovermusic@sopuli.xyz if that is ok?
Cool, thanks! I’ve signed up. Got James Brown Live at the Apollo as my first and I’m digging it so far.
