Noted. Thanks. Easy to get confused when you're listening to this many bands!

That's no excuse. Please stop whining.

But you've only listened to one.

1000

Album title: Guero
Artiste: Beck
Year: 2005
Nationality: American
Genre: Alternative Rock/ Anti-Folk (?)/Beck
Chronology: Ninth album
Previous experience of this artiste, if any: Zero
Why is this an album you should hear before you die? I have no idea
Tracklisting: E-pro, Qué Onda Guero, Girl, Missing, Black tambourine, Earthquake weather, Hell yes, Scarecrow, Broken drum, Go it alone, Farewell ride, Rental car, Emergency Exit
Introduction: Next up we have Beck, of whom I know nothing beyond his guest slot on “Futurama”...
Comments: This album features a lot of what I would call latin influences, folk music, hip-hop and lo-fi indie-style music. I don't know if I like it but I sure don't hate it, and it evokes a certain party atmosphere from the start, so that can't be bad. I'd be prepared to listen to more of this.
Favourite track(s): E-pro, Girl, Missing, Farewell ride, Broken drum
Least favourite track(s): Nothing really
My impression: Decent album and for my first introduction to Beck's music not at all bad. May check more of this out.

I don't think I've seen anyone call Meg White "a great drummer" before! Good luck, I'll be following.

I know what's coming next, can't wait to read this one.

Incorrect. I have only POSTED one. I'm currently on my sixth. Also, I'm doing tons of other stuff (well, some of it has been outsourced to various clones...)

Calm down, big guy!

Just checking the list and, at least for the most recent couple of decades, it's made up of almost entirely stuff that would appeal to indie nerds. The majority of the rest seems to be made up of mainstream albums that are notable either for actually not sucking or just being particularly well known. Hip hop, metal, punk, whatever passes for jazz or classical or whatever else these days, are all but ignored. Seems like a Rolling Stone "Best Albums of All Time" list for the modern, small-minded elitist.

How did Get Behind me Satan make the list, and not their eponymous album or something, though? GBMS is a good album, but it's weaker than almost every other album of theirs imo.
Looks like the writer to the list published too soon to include Icky Thump, which is too bad. Bit uneven, but a lotta great songs.
