On a more serious note, I really appreciate all the positive feedback, and really hope everyone gives these works at least one listen. For a bit of inside baseball, I have about 250 albums in a document ready for me to put down and give my reasoning, but I try to only use this list for every third or fourth entry (for obvious reasons) and supplement the rest with research and basically albums that pique my interest and that I find engaging on the first listen (or re-listen), and also hold up on follow up listens. These albums can either be teling a great story, be a great entry point to the rest of a bands discography, or just be awesome albums that you must listen to. Given the limitation of one album per band and no repeats from the original 1001 these are the criteria (in non-weighted order) I consider when wanting to add something by an artist I feel should be included:
1. Accessibility - how easy it is to get into this album compared to the rest of the artist work, ie how much will the people reading this actually enjoy what I am suggesting
2. Artistry - how good is the album
3. Personal preference - which album is my favourite
4. Story - How good is the story and history behind the album
Usually I'm selfish and just use my personal preference as a tie breaker, I mean it is
my list after all.
I also originally considered having albums 699-600 being exclusively metal but i think the constant bounce between genres makes this more interesting.
Also please listen to have moicy! it is so awesome.
