1001 Records you must hear before you die - yikes I only have about 150 of them
http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/1001Albums.htm

I was a bit annoyed with the list. You're telling me there are THREE Dexys Midnight Runners (the #1 one-hit wonder group) and yet you can't find room on the list for one Moody Blues album? That annoyed me.

My goal for the next year is to somehow manage to listen to all 1001 albums on the list. I have about 150 of them I can start and the rest I'll look for at libraries and other free/cheap but legal sources.

11. I guess you can edit out the crap

Absolutely no reason on earth to sit through Britney Spears.

Midnight Runner albums.

17. The opening riff of How Will the Wolf Survive is the best album opening ever
Don't Worry Baby is all you really need to know about rock and roll, except for a few Chuck Berry songs.

Speaking of which, the damn list doesn't have any Chuck Berry.

15. Props for the Can and Roxy, but
NO Future Sound of London or Van Der Graaf Generator??

Lotsa good stuff, lotsa very mediocre stuff the newer it gets. And DELETING Brian Wilson's SMiLE? Philistines.

16. A list without Don Dixon needs some fixin'!
They don't even have the Marti Jones album Unsophisticated Time.

The list is bunk.

Pure bunk.
