A book with 1001 albums chosen by a panel of music critics to be the most important and influential in popular music. This site will help you listen to them all. One album a day.

This site is a simple resource to help you go through each of the “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.” I’ve been using it for maybe around a year(ish) now with some of my friends and it’s a great way to find new albums/artists you might not have listened to otherwise

    Just started using this a couple weeks ago! Love it. I never listened to much music outside of OSTs until a year or so ago so this has been great in helping me catch up in a sense.

    Listened to From Elvis In Memphis today as per this website’s suggestion. I didn’t enjoy it as much as his debut album, but there were a couple of great songs on it regardless (I wasn’t a huge fan of In The Ghetto, surprisingly).

      I’ve definitely found the 1001 to be hit and miss. Some albums seem like a solid 5/5, some albums I have no idea how they made the list. I think it’s the nature of the system.

    Good idea, I assumed it was something that generates 1001 random albums to recommend to you…
