Have I listened to it all? Oh sweet HELL no. But i'm digging it.

I had a guy (A part of that krautrock scene, apparently) where I had 160 songs of theirs on Spotify...and it totaled like 40 hours. And I only had 4 parts of a 13 part series of albums...that each were a triple album.

Needless to say, I never got around to truly listening to him.

I suspect Tangerine Dream is actually an assembly-line style music factory, employing no less than sixty musicians at any given time. To cover their tracks, they have a hired touring "band" to actually go out and play shows.

They currently have 6 members.

Went through that 1001 list after removing those 47 albums I've already heard, and marked few albums which I want to listen to before the rest, ended up with 108 albums. The rest 846 albums I go through later... a lot later...

Posted: **Sat Jan 25, 2014 5:44 am**

Been listening to Sun Kil Moon. Pretty good indie folk/indie rock. Getting quite a lot of albums rated an 8 actually. Gonna have to prioritize what I actually want to own of said albums that are ending up being rated an 8...

I'd just ignore the list altogether

. As much as I am a movie listener, a list like that would be...too much for me. I'd have too much of an itching to go through other stuff.

The thing is, I don't really have anything else to go through

I'm not too much into choosing random stuff to listen to.

Reaming through old-ass bookmarks. A lot of it's shit, but there are gold nuggets here and there. Cream tends to rise to the top, though.

Anyone know a band that mixes harder alternative rock with progressive rock, and YES I KNOW TOOL

Great, thanks! I have been looking for that list.
Let me count how much I've heard of them.

I've only heard 90, I thought it would be atleast 100.

Nice. It is crazy how reading through that doesn't even make that feel like a lot.

It is for me, too, I just prioritized on the artists that were easier to plow through.

I'm the guy who has a record of listening through 32 EP's in one day, and on another day a few days later, 17 LP's. All one's I've never heard before until then. I'm always digging for new music of all types.

Stealing the idea and doing my version of the list. My list starts earlier though, from 1957. From '64 onwards I have something from every single year, missing only years '60, '61, '62 and '63.

Out of my top10 albums 2 aren't on the list because they are just tiny bit worse than the best album of their years (2000: Venom's Resurrection is 5th while Impaled Nazarene's Nihil is 1st. 2004: Torsofuck's Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy is 8th while Motörhead's Inferno is 7th)

Top 5 most albums of the year bands: Chuck Berry 5, Impaled Nazarene 4, Jimi Hendrix 3, Motörhead 3, Venom 3
Chuck Berry's amount can be explained by the fact that 4 of them are the only albums of their years.

I want to learn how to play pedal steel. But it's such a specialized and unique instrument that it's maddeningly difficult just to find an instrument, much less an instructor. If only I lived in Nashville.

You hear pedal steel in so many places; from Led Zeppelin to neo-folk (and country, of course). You'd think there'd be somebody in this metropolis willing and able to teach me.

So I quite enjoy R.E.M. now, especially since listening through Murmur a few times. Some really nice stuff on there. I think my favorite song on there would have to be "Moral Kiosk."
