Okay so I got this huge book which contains the 1001 albums I should listen to before I die of cancer because I drank too much diet coke according to 90 music critics. Despite some of its ridiculous picks (American Idiot by Green Day is in it... lol) and the fact that some artists' discography are almost completely in it, I still like the idea. Obviously I don't know much about the music from the 50s to the 80s, so I think it's a great way to get some education concerning these. For example, I've began getting into soul music lately and this book contains a few great soul singers. I already started listening to a few of the albums and I plan on listening to all of them at least once (or at least to a few songs on each if I can't listen to it completely). I think it'll take around a year to do so... This article is just to help me remember the albums I liked and those I didn't. I hope it'll give ideas to some people as to new records they might want to listen to, or avoid completely.
