If you are reading this then I finally got round to doing this. So welcome to my deranged assignment to try and listen to all 1001 albums from the book ‘1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’
Spanning 52 years of music from Frank Sinatra to Klaxons I shall be attempting to make my way through them all in the better part of 4 years. So yes, I am in it for the long haul.
Why am I doing this? Well it dawned on me that there are so many artists that I have never actually listened to, such as any song by David Bowie. Also I have never listened to ‘classic’ albums such as Nevermind, Abbey Road or even Dark Side of The Moon. Shameful no? Therefore this is something that needs to be rectified. Another reason that I am doing this is that I have fallen back into my old listening patterns whereby in the last 3-4 months I have listened to female vocalists almost exclusively, with the exception of one spin of Mutations by Beck.
Therefore, 5 days a week I will be listening to one of these albums twice or more, except for albums spanning over 2 hours (yes Magnetic Fields I am looking at you) and then shall write my thoughts on each one. Just a warning to those who read this, some of the reviews will be very opinionated, there are some that I have already heard and am not looking forward to sampling whether it be due to mental pain or from laughing too hard the last time I listened to it.
So here is my aim. I hope to see you soon in my next reviews (^_^)
