1000 albums in a year - I want your suggestions!

[1000Albums]

I'm challenging myself to listen to 1000 new-to-me albums in 2025. I will listen to anything, of any genre (if it's available on Spotify or Apple Music) with the exception of death metal or Bradley Walsh's latest Christmas album😆

I love music but have got stuck in a bit of a rut over the last few years so would like to expand my horizons. What album would you like to recommend to a total stranger?

Taylor Swift Evermore. My favourite album possibly ever.

Belle and Sebastian "The Life Pursuit". So many great songs on there and there's bound to be at least one you'll really like!

Tycho - Awake

Elbow - Asleep In The Back

Haha, probably should've specified no TS - because I know her stuff back-to-front! Evermore is utterly beautiful, I agree.

Trilogy by the weeknd (technically three albums)

Guts Spilled by Olivia Roderigo - love it, love her

I'm sure you've heard arctic monkeys first one but it was excellent so that one as well

Thank you, don't know that one so it'll go on the list!

Currently obsessed with Henry Purcell essentials on Apple Music

The Specials - More Specials

Jack Savoretti Miss Italia

After the party- The Menzingers

For your pleasure - Roxy music.

An Awesome Wave by Alt-J. It won the Mercury Prize ages ago but I only discovered it recently. It's unusual and got me back into music after a very long break (several years) of not listening to much.

Josh Ritter - Animal Years or Hello Starling

Sounds interesting, will put in on the list!

A bit obscure is good. I tend towards indie / folk / americana so would like to branch out from that if possible.

Pj Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea

Hawkwind - Leviathan

TheThe - Soul Mining

Oh, and of course:
Pink Floyd - The Wall

Thea Gilmore - 'Loft Music', 'Afterlight', and 'Thea Gilmore' are my favourites of hers.

Michael Kiwanuka, Love & Hate

Great shout, I've been meaning to listen to him for ages and never got around to it.

Ani diFranco Little Plastic Castles
The Pogues If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Levellers Levelling The Land
Tori Amos Silent All These Years

BC Camplight - The Last Rotation of Earth (2023)

Jeff Buckley - Grace (1994)

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside (1978)

Brilliant idea btw OP, I look forward to hearing something new!

The Broken Family Band - Please And Thank You
Kula Shaker - K
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
Peter Gabriel - Passion
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Turin Brakes - The Optimist

Adore Jeff and Kate, so have added BC Camplight to my list, thank you!

Rush of Blood , Coldplay
