That's not how it works at all. It has a list of 1001 albums that have been deemed classic or influential, and gives you a new one every day you log in. The descriptions are interesting as well as they walk you through why each album was chosen.

Been doing this for a while and i love it. Quickly turns into a daily habit.

I love it a bit extra today as it gave me one of my favorite albums this morning: Horses by Patti Smith!

this is a cool idea! i like the relatively minimal design and the user-input reviews. seems like it would make it hard for racists/misogynists/etc. that would normally come out of the woodwork to give negative reviews to POC/women/etc. since they can't just sort by project (as far as i can tell).

You're right, you can only review what's been generated for you, which makes it even more fun reading the reviews, especially some of the 1:s can be truly amusing.

I'm half way through this and rarely stumble upon racism/etc in the reviews but whenever i do they can be reported to the admin at /r/1001AlbumsGenerator and its dealt with.

This is a great app.

This is so cool!

Just started and the first album is King Crimson "In the Court of the Crimson King." (1969). I never would have listened to this on my own and I am looking forward to see what the next day brings.

Expand your musical horizons - thumbnail of most popular albums of all time.

I was excited to expand my musical horizons until I got hit with sound garden

That's about as unexpanded a horizon as you can get

Depending on what your existing tastes are, sure. There are probably a lot more people than you think who have not listened to them, or only have heard the most popular songs in other media.

Oh man what a killer album and one of the pioneers of a kickass genre.

If you loved it, check out Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Gentle Giant (I assume most people have heard Pink Floyd and Rush, but those are also good ones to check out if this is all new to you).

If you want to see where that genre went in a much more modern context, try Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, or Thank You Scientist on for size.

"Most popular albums of all time" is still going to include thousands of albums you've never even heard of, so it's a useful tool. I've been using it the past week and keep finding gems.

Makes sense. If I’m going to branch out, I don’t want to waste my time on random bad music. There is too much to explore.

The reviews are some of my favourite parts after I’ve rated the one I’ve listened to.

The reviews for The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter are some of the funniest things I’ve ever read in my life, and made even better by the catharsis I felt knowing it wasn’t just me.

It's a great project - I recently made an adaptation of this - A Spotify playlist that gets updated automatically every day with one of those albums :)

playlist.lol

So, if I start today and listen to an album a day, I will die in the next three years?

First one was Thriller. Thanks..

280/1001 at the moment. Feel like i haven't really found many new artist or albums i like to be honest. Seems like allot of what makes an album great is the personal experience.

But i keep at it to challange my taste.

How can I start at the beginning? Or how can I tell where I am in the list?

I just introduced someone to Maggot Brain last week. Believe it or not some of these albums are not as ubiquitous as youd think

Day 1 some Herbie Hancock.. I'm curious and skeptical on the amount of personalizing it could be pulling from my known musical tastes like Spotify, YouTube, etc

This is so cool! My first suggested album was Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, which is definitely not one I would have chosen to list to, given my own devices.

The album gets picked randomly and in like 3 years it will loop :)
