So I am going through this book and listening fully to all the albums on it... List a bit suspect but it was a present and its exposing me to fabulous stuff I never heard or re-visiting albums I have not listened in a long time..

No cheating... All albums must be listened to ... First song to last ...

So follow also on my journey or join me... I have been synopsing on my Facebook (through 51 albums so far picked randomly) Look me up (Adam Behlman) there or I'll start posting the picks and a silly comment on here too..

So right now 51/1001 - U2/Achtung Baby

    Sorry, two Captain Beefheart albums (only 2-3 pages in, could be more) is a dealbreaker. I've tried and tried to give his stuff a shot, and have heard Trout Mask Replica many times. Can't do it again.

    Very interesting, I don't suppose some of those would be easy to listen to. :lol: One persons trash is another persons treasure. It's good to see lots Waits, The Kinks, The Cure, Joy Division and Iggy Pop's The Idiot on there. :D happy listening!

    Very, very cool that you're doing this. I started doing something similar. Maybe before I reveal what it is, I should revive it since I haven't done anything with it in almost a year. Now would be an excellent time to re-start.

    Away on a bit of a vacation ... So here is some new ones...

    53/1001 - Yes/The Yes Album - Program Rock meets The tri person harmony ... Seen All Good People, a classic
    54/1001 - Miriam Makeba/Miriam Makeba (1st record) - Unreal... Beautiful voice ... Amazing songs...amazing life
    55/1001 - Harry Nillson -Nillson Schmilson- Never heard it before ... Heard the songs but never pit two and two together.. A very breezy listen (had to do twice). After reading a bit about him you can see his influence on later Lennon.
    56/1001 - Queen/Night at the Opera - Thunderbolts and Lightening... Very very frightening ... A classic
    57/1001 - Dexy's Midnight Runners - Searching for the Young Soul Rebels - Only knew C'mon On Eileen.. Lots of the Specials and the Commitments ..
    58/1001 Talk Talk/The Colour Of Spring - Another one hit wonder in US where I missed the rest of it... what a voice..
    59/1001- A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm - Queens in Da House!! Q-Tip by far the most intelligent rapper of his generation IMO

    And on we go...

    Are you just listening once and moving on? I've found that it takes about 5 listens before I start to really digest an album.
