    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).

      I’ve definitely found the 1001 to be hit and miss. Some albums seem like a solid 5/5, some albums I have no idea how they made the list. I think it’s the nature of the system.

        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.

    Cool, thanks! I’ve signed up. Got James Brown Live at the Apollo as my first and I’m digging it so far.

    Just started using this a couple weeks ago! Love it. I never listened to much music outside of OSTs until a year or so ago so this has been great in helping me catch up in a sense.

    Saved. I’m looking forward to discovering some good stuff!
