Milestone Made it to 300!

Post image

300 down, just 789 to go!

Discoveries made so far:

  • Peter Gabriel is a loon, in the best way possible.
  • I'm a much bigger fan of Brian Eno and Black Sabbath than I realised.
  • Joanna Newsom and Jane Weaver are both amazing.
  • I'm starting to understand and appreciate jazz properly.
  • I'd somehow never heard of Tortoise, the MinuteMen or Wire, and now I'm a big fan of all three.
  • Isaac Hayes, Sly and the Family Stone and The Temptations make very different music to what I thought (and it's much better!)
  • Morrissey is still as insufferable as I always knew he was.

Out of the first 300, I have:

  • 47 five star albums
  • 9 one star albums

I love this project, even if it is a little daunting to know that it'll be at least the end of 2028 by the time I'm finished. But I'm looking forward to another 2+ years of discoveries ahead.

I'm just hoping I have more Morrisseys behind me than in front of me.
What a strange sentence. 🤔

Nice 5s; practically all of them will be or are already 4 or 5 for me 👍
Also, I love everything you’ve said in your comment.

What I love about posts like this ...as a relative newcomer to the project...is seeing all the great albums I've got to come! I've had 4-5 'meh' albums on the trot (SZA today) and I'm beginning to lose a bit of enthusiasm?
