More or less.

It's 85% UK or US and 15% other.

I think i read that the introduction in the book mentions this aswell; that it's western
music mainly. I'm fine with that, whenever i get a non western album it's a nice little rabbit hole though and i usually find other artist to listen to through that way.

I know what you mean, but don't see it as a huge problem.

At first i asked myself "how is this one of the best 1001 albums ever" quite often, but now i've kinda accepted the fact that it's all very subjective, and the author(s) arent saying it's the best albums. Just albums they think i should listen to. And most of them do have some interesting background when i read up on them.

My US rating is higher than my UK though, if i look at my history (but i've had way more US albums than UK, so i guess if anything i would like more non US/UK stuff).

people aren't that bad of singers generally it's because theyre singing out of their range. Maybe tell him to write the songs in keys more natural to his voice, he might just need more practice too to get comfortable unless you guys have been doing this a long time. Tbh having a good songwriter is way more important than someone with amazing vocals

That's good if they are short. Got to just carve out time for it. I go on walks, so that would be a good time to do it.

Hard part is that I have all these other things I listen to like audiobooks, podcasts, and news articles. So something has to give there.

Thanks for the comment. That is SO interesting. It just goes to show how people connect differently to music. There really is something for everyone. I am totally opposite (I mean unless I can’t understand it like some slipknot or heavier metal then I just assume I like what they are singing about haha)

This is incredible! I just started something recently by listening to Rolling Stones top 500 albums but this site seems a lot nicer! Thanks for starting me on this journey!
