MaggieJacobs Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Im letting a god damn computer decide an album for me each day and am enjoying it quite a lot so far. Albums are taken from the book 1001 albums you must hear before you die. Anyone else up for some album sharing/listening? Could discuss the albums generated in here. https://1001albumsgenerator.com/ Mine for today is this lo-fi album. I havent revisited it in a while, but Summer Babe is a great tune. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine you'll be this lucky all the time. Slanted is a beast of a record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea its great for sure. Is it better than Crooked Rain though? Think i need to put that one on now, its been too long. I've been pretty lucky the last week with the generator. Think i've had New Wave by The Aueturs, Second Toughest In The Infants by the Underworld, Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and Hounds of Love by Kate Bush. All records i really enjoy. But then i also had an Alice Cooper record. Cant like 'em all! But its a nice way to listen to stuff i wouldnt bother with otherwise. Epsecially when spending a few hours a day listenting to music in front of my computer while working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My album of the day is this. What a great run of albums they had with Blue Lines, Protection and Mezzanine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the journey to work go by listening to these different albums. Thank goodness for Spotify! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo84 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Whether I'll manage this for the whole 1001 is unlikely, but music needed each day on lunchbreaks so a good chance to check some out Started well with The Beatles, Rubber Soul. Have heard this before. Remembered it being great .and it still is. Good start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieJacobs Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Had a few good ones lately. Some truly greats lyrics on this one, and i like the backing vocals by Neneh Cherry. The New York scene produced some really great stuff around this 70's era. Ramones, New York Dolls, Television, Patti Smith. Barely a weak track on this one and some amazing riffs. Tom Verlaine has a truly unique voice. Is it punk? No idea, but its great. Was a bit surprised to see this one in the book/generator. But a pleasant surprise for sure. Just finished Tim Burgess book with the same name and its great. Some nice anecdotes from the Madchester era. This surely is one of their best albums, imo together with Some Friendly and Up To Our Hips which are both top class. Sadly Rob Collins passed away during the recording of this one. But the result, with songs like Tellin Stories, One to Another and How High leaves me with no other option than a 5/5 obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo84 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 So far so good. Listened to Bob Dylan, The doors, pet shop boys, arcade fire, Moby and Muddy Waters after The Beatles Rubber Soul. The Beatles Def my favourite so far, and I'm glad all the rest at least as albums were new to me, except Moby. Never a big Dylan fan, so that probably my last favourite so far, but still enjoyable. Likely to be some tosh in here somewhere but nothing so far Franz Ferdinand next 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamBragg Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Well it took 20 months but that's all 1001 albums of the 2016 edition listened to. Enjoyed discovering new artists old favourites, realising I really don't like some and delving into various eras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent revisited it in a while, but Summer Babe is a great tune. This is my favorite music album. It seems to me that the new generation is an opportunity to feel new literary movements and musical waves. This album resembles a full-length book with jazz, funk, rock and classic motives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieJacobs Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Still doing this 1001 Albums Generator thing, and just passed 200 albums. Its been a blast so far. Ran into quite a few gems that were previously unknown to me. Still not a hip hop fan, apparently. Here's my summary. https://1001albumsgenerator.com/shares/5f31cdb21753d47099d73b34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
