There are publications out there that lay claim to the 1001 albums concept, amongst other things, like films and so on, but having read them we always felt it was somewhat limiting as there has been so much music published over the last 70 years that 1001 just wasn’t enough and there were genres that were under represented, so this is an ongoing list (because we do love a list) of albums not featured in the book(s) but worthy of some attention.

We start in the 1950’s when the world was a very different place and so were listening tastes, and work our way up to the present day, even though as we start this today, the present day is somewhere unknown in the future, but we’ll get there. So look out for these posts which will be coming quite regularly and do let us know your thoughts on our selections, love them or despise them with every fiber of your being, either is fine by us!
