Of course, I don't mind listening to the occasional album that's outside my tastes, if there's some historical or cultural significance to it. Which seems to be what the list is going for. Plus, 1001 is a LOT of albums, there's bound to be some duds.
The self-titled album felt like the story of an innocent boy, Helplessness Blues felt like that boy was heading out into the big world, and Crack-Up feels like the consequences of that, and the loss of innocence.
Fool's Errand is one of the best tracks on that record for sure.
I see very little reason to use these over a regular smartphone 🤔 but the same is true for watches and people still rock those as well, so you do you! It does look like a nifty gadget.
Absolutely fantastic song, and somehow not even the best track on that album.
It makes me so happy when I see someone else recommending Brìghde! I got sold on The Reeling years ago because I read about it on Quietus, and she has been a fav of mine ever since.
Maybe Fishmans? I also prefer Carrie & Lowell live over the studio version.
Have I heard of it? I'm a lot more familiar with it than that.
One of my favorite tracks from that record!
Radiohead! Proceed with caution, not all of their albums are rock music.
I'm one of the weirdos buying into the hype of black midi, BCNR and Squid as well. Give them a shot. black midi is probably the most experimental of the bunch.
There's also Interpol, Arcade Fire, The National: the usual suspects. Dismemberment Plan, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree. Some more recent indie rock: Pinegrove, Hop Along, Indigo de Souza.
Your mileage may vary, of course, but they're some of my favorites.
I've always found it interesting that I cannot stand Nine Inch Nails on my BT headphones, but I really enjoy The Downward Spiral on my father's good studio headphones.
Those are all fair points! I guess my priorities are just different, in the sense that I care about the convenience of having to carry just one device in my pocket.
On the topic of audiophiles, does quality really have such a big effect on the enjoyability of a song? Personally I'm perfectly fine with listening to 320kbps or even 256kbps through Bluetooth headphones.
Any recommendations? I only know AJJ
Listened to From Elvis In Memphis today as per this website's suggestion. I didn't enjoy it as much as his debut album, but there were a couple of great songs on it regardless (I wasn't a huge fan of In The Ghetto, surprisingly).
Banger of a song, and their only song after Whenever, If Ever that I really care about.
