Inspired by a not completely original idea that we saw somewhere else, we bought ‘1001 Albums: You Must Hear Before You Die’ and are working through it with the help of Spotify, a random number generator to choose the page and a coin toss if 2 albums on a page.
Rules: Must listen to at least 3 tracks before skipping and album is only skipped if we BOTH agree. We’ll catalogue what we listen to, what we think of it (Rubbish/Indifferent/Good/Excellent) and whether we’d listen to it again.
Simple.

887 - Destiny's Child - Survivor
Year: 2001
Verdict: Indifferent
Comments: Skipped after 3 songs, but to be fair the first 3 songs are the most famous anyway. In the grand scheme of chart pop, not the worst thing in the world, but really not our sort of thing.
315 - Bad Company - Bad Company
Year: 1974
Verdict: Indifferent
Comments: Listened to entire album. Pretty standard 70s rock. Obviously "Can't get enough of your love" is a great track.
662 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Year: 1991
Verdict: Excellent
Comments: Listened to entire album. A 1991 classic. Loved every inch of this album when it came out and still do. A defining album of the 90s.
709 - The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Year: 1993
Verdict: Indifferent
Comments: Skipped after half of album. Stereotypical 90s alternative indie rock. Not bad, but there are much better things from the same era.
778 - Belle and Sebastian - Tigermilk
Year: 1996
Verdict: Good
Comments: Listened to entire album. Nice relaxing piece of Scottish Indie Folk. Whole album washed over us in no time. Good Sunday afternoon listening.
422 - Siouxsie and The Banshees - The Scream
Year: 1978
Verdict: Indifferent
Comments: Skipped after 3 tracks. Can see why people liked it, but didn't do much for us.
