1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

[Lizzy]

Maybe this could be a nice thing to get going during all this corona tragedy. Lots of time for music and its a nice way to discover the history of music IMO.

Some obvious stuff mixed with some not so obvious.

 

An album is generated for you each day, taken from the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

I got some classic punk pop today. Can never go wrong with a bit of Debbie Harry.

Parallel Lines such a good album. In fact Blondie's first four albums are all great.

[urban.spaceman]

I'd probably say The Best of The Beatles.

[Dr Marco]

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

[Electric Yetis]

Like this.

 

 

 

 

 

I got Green Day - American Idiot. Was hoping for something I've not listened to countless times before. Pretty apt at the minute though.

[Lizzy]

Yea there's quite a lot of familiar stuff. I give everything a go though, unless i recently played it in full.

 

Today i gott myself some Scott Walker. Havent listend in ages but its great, innit?

Oh yeees.

Love this album.

I was pretty late to the whole Super Furry Animals party. Discovered them 2005 or so, but have seen them live 4 times since. Always great energy.

 

They had a great run of albums at the beginning of their career with this one, Radiator and Guerilla. All on Creation Records.

 

Actually, this might be my favourite of theirs.

 

 

 

[Lizzy]

Oh. Something to wake me up.

 

Got a lot of love for New Orders run of albums at the beginning or their career, up to, and including, this one.

Just got Power, Corruption and Lies on CD today. My brother had it on vinyl when we lived at our parents. I probably haven't listened to it as a whole album in over 25 years.

 

For quite a while after its release, Technique was my favourite album. It's fallen from Grace since (not even my favourite New Order album - that would be Low Life), but still a classic.

P, C & L is one of my favourite albums ever. Low Life not far behind!

 

For today i got this one. Great, obviously!

 

 

 

Had this earlier this week.

Interesting rock & roll from the late 50's with Buddy Holly. Not really a fan of that genre in general, but its fun to hear what a huge impact this early stuff have had on the music i listen to more regularly.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Stone roses debut album. 

[The People's Hero]

Got this - and whilst I'm not a huge hip hop fan; I've enjoyed it (almost all the way through now)

Common - Be.

Not a big fan of hip hop after the 90s but this is one of my favourite hip hop album from the last 20 years.

J Dilla is part of it, and everything J Dilla touched became golden.

Im going a bit of catch up after christmas holidays.

Among other stuff i got these two classic indie albums.

Frankie is doing fine without Pixies as well. Love it.

 

[Lizzy]

This is so good. Released the same day as Beatles released White Album, and because of that (lets pretend that's the reason at least) it became a flop and didnt sell much.

 

Ray Davies has called it "the most successful ever flop".

 

Anyway, one of my favourite concept albums and looking forward to listen to it again. Its been a while.

Great album. I've got the Deluxe version and Pete Townshend writes a forward where he calles it Ray's "Sgt Peppers".

 

But I like that other bands were trying different things and Ray Davies just wrote about England.

 

Not my favourite Kinks album but it's up there. Ray Davies is one of the true great songwriters and Dave was a superb lead guitarist (I love his solo's in All Day And All Of The Night and You Really Got Me).

This is so fun. I got Eagles!
