RYM Top 1001 Albums

[Pretentious Hipster]

Did you check out Kate Bush's live album yet? It's on the top 1000 now. 2.5 hours though geez

Also get on Corey Feldman's album and help me get it to the top 1000.

[funkybusiness]

I still need to listen to 50 Words of Snow.

Given how much you adore Kate Bush, I'm surprised you don't like Regina Spektor more, someone I think of as Bush's clearest spiritual descendent. Maybe I've just forgotten you mentioning her before, but if you haven't really given her much of a chance, check out an album like Soviet Kitsch.

#385. Vince Guaraldi — A Charlie Brown Christmas
I'd never seen the tv special before so I watched it about two weeks ago. It's amazing. So, I tried the album out. It's even better. I can't stop playing it. I've listened to it at least once a day since watching the special. I'm really having a hard time writing today. huh. Did you know Little Drummer Boy isn't some old song? Like, it was only a couple years old when this came out? I have this impression that all of the Christmas traditions I see every year go back centuries but most of them were invented or tweaked into modern existence in the 60s. weird.

This is truly an absolute classic, and it would be a huge mistake for any jazz fans to overlook.

I heard that album 5 years ago. Hated it then, but it was 5 years ago so who knows what I'd think of it now.

If you like Kate Bush but want it to have atonal as fuck piano playing, check out Kristeen Young's Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd-Onlooker. She opened for Morrissey and was apparently HATED by the audiences.

K so I just listened to My Little Drum and it was pretty fucking awesome.

I listened to most of these a few months ago but have been listening to 1973 lately. Most of this bunch was just mediocre. I listened to Dark Side of the Moon while high since I have heard it before and I don't like Pink Floyd and it was a little more tolerable but still thought it was meh. I didn't like the Space Ritual album, except for Sonic Attack for some bizarre reason. A Clockwork Orange soundtrack is my favourite film soundtrack so obviously awesome and T. Rex too. Otherwise fairly unimpressed... still

[metaller]

I totally forgot about this and have to get back to it. But on the other hand I was actually rarely in the position to give a good listen to an album start to finish recently.

[mightysparks]

Getting back into this again a little. This is taking so goddamn long to get through lol. I've listened to nearly 400 albums, and am currently in 1976. I think there's been 2 new albums that I liked out of what I've listened to so far. It's pretty tough.

[mightysparks]

Still slowly working my way through. I'm in 1977 now, but I can't seem to find John Coltrane's Afro Blues Impressions on RYM

it's under live albums on John Coltrane's page, and you have to expand it to "Show All Live Albums".

[mightysparks]

Townes Van Zandt's Live at The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas is easily one of the worst albums on this list. Probably bottom 5 at this point. Christ what a painful 90 minutes.

[Gershwin]

I guess I'll need to check it out then.

[Pretentious Hipster]

I only heard his self-titled album, but it was fantastic.

[mightysparks]

Anyone know where to find this: Keith Jarret - Sun Bear Concerts Piano Solo: Recorded in Japan?

Almost at the halfway mark... >_<

[mightysparks]

Another album I'm struggling to find if anyone can halp; Deep Purple - Deep Purple in Concert (1980)

Ok this is actually on Spotify but has '1970-1972' at the end of the title which made me assume it was a different album...

[sebby]

I guess I'll need to check it out then.

Did you ever get around to it? Probably my favorite live album. Beautiful stuff. If any songwriter has claim to be called a poet it's TVZ.

Starting it on Spotify right now!

[mightysparks]

I've just finished 1981 and am now over halfway through this list Hopefully it doesn't make me another 3.5 years to finish...

RYM people really like 80s metal omfg

I was going to join ya guys doing the RYM top 1001, but....yeah. So much mediocre metal. Long-ass operas. Other unappealing things!

I think maybe I'll pick a genre and do the top 500 instead

[Pretentious Hipster]

The top 1001 list mighty is using is so old that there not be a point anymore because of all the newer albums making it.

Happy to see Daughters' You Won't Get What You Want album be #477 place and still climbing. It just came out last month but I would already call it a classic and one of the all time greatest albums.

[sebby]

Is there any way to easily export rym charts to a csv file? trying to figure it out.

[Pretentious Hipster]

Not to my knowledge, but you can exclude albums that you've rated so you can track the list that way.

[sebby]

Man I just want an excel file where I can strikethrough albums I listen to, highlight standouts, and jot little notes.

[mightysparks]

Most of them are still in the top 1001 tho, I’ve only come across a few that have been kicked out

[funkybusiness]

Daughters are still at it? Damn I remember Hell Songs and that was ages ago. Hydra Head isn't even a thing anymore!

They were on hiatus but reunited. Their new music is terrifying. Basically 80s swans are back.

Can't find The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at Winterland. Can anyone help?

Trying to stick to 2 albums a day so I can finish this list by the end of the year *fingers crossed*

Awesome, thanks. I make a bunch of Spotify playlists in advance for each year and there's always a handful not on there. Usually can find them on YT but others evade me. I think there's only been one year so far when everything was on Spotify.
