I thought of doing a response to 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

I only got a bit into it though. It got me a bit more into 50's music by starting at the beginning (Buddy Holly and the Chirping Crickets, Here's Little Richard, Sinatra's Songs For Swingin' Lovers and Monk's Brilliant Corners made the most positive impressions). The 60's and 70's albums I've heard in there are mostly good picks, so I might go further with those, but quite a few of the 80's and 90's choices I know are so completely head-scratching that I probably wouldn't pursue that project too far.

        Oh come on, that's hilarious (nt) - Anton J 3/6/2012, 3:39 pm
        
        I have a feeling that if she listen back to those same albums she would enjoy it more - Trung 3/6/2012, 5:12 pm
        
        Ok, I was exaggerating a bit, I admit - Nolol 3/6/2012, 5:57 pm
        
        Her individual reviews are not interesting, the general concept behind the reviews is - Trung 3/6/2012, 6:13 pm
        
        Yeah - Nolol 3/6/2012, 8:13 pm

        I've been reading her blog since she was in the mid-70s - Ken 3/6/2012, 6:24 pm
        
        I think her 67 sogns in her ipod would be a bit more diverse - Trung 3/6/2012, 6:29 pm
        
        I hope so. - Ken 3/6/2012, 7:59 pm

        There's no pretension that this is serious musical critique though. Her reviews are "adequate" - Trung 3/7/2012, 2:21 am
