Jumping In
Reddit is a strange place. A recent Ask Reddit thread talked about apps you can't believe are free and one that came up was the "1001 Albums Generator" based on the reference book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die , edited by Robert Dimery (compiling the most important, influential, and best music from the 1950s - 2010s). The app gives you 1 album per day, asking for a simple star rating out of five. Each day, a new album comes through at 3:00 GMT (if you don't listen, it keeps your last suggested and creates a sort of backlog). And it's free. An album a day. For 1001 albums. That's an album a day for 2.74 years (ignoring that 2024 is a leap year). I like to think of myself as fairly musically varied, listening to just about anything. Yes, even country. Though I personally loathe what country music has become (the pandering arena country that forgot its roots), so I figured what the hell, I'll jump in. Will I be able to listen to an album...
