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?

Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall

Songs of the last century -George Michael
The Glory of Gershwin - Album by Larry Alder
Sunrise over the sea - John Butler Trio.

How will you manage to listen to 3 albums a day???

Sheryl Crow’s self titled album and 18 till I die by Bryan Adams were both formative albums for me.

Misbehavin' Maidens - 'Swearing is Caring' and 'Busted'

Kenya Vaun - The Honeymoon Phase

The Once, either of their first two albums (The Once and Row upon Row of the People you Know)

Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends.

Our Town. Deacon Blue

Technically it's only 2.7 a day 😂

I probably won't manage that every single day, in all honesty, but I should be able to get through 2 most days. I don't mind if this 'listening project' lasts for more than a year, though.

Buzzcocks Another Music in a Different Kitchen and Scary Monsters by Bowie - just to shake things up a bit!

Paul Simon, Graceland
fleetwood Mac, rumours
Mike Oldfield, tubular Bells
Alanis Morisette, Jagged Little Pill
Pulp, Different Class
Goldfrapp, Felt Mountain
Gnarls Barkley, St Elsewhere
nirvana, Nervermind

I know Scary Monsters pretty well but will give the Buzzcocks album a go as I only really know Love Bites.

American hi-fi - American hi fi (2001)
Shaboozey - where I've been isn't where I'm going
Staind - break the cycle
And if you don't already know it inside out alanis Morissette jagged little pill

I've tried to go for things you might not already know!

That’s over 3 albums every single day isn’t it

Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction
The White Buffalo Hogtied revisited
Colter Wall Imaginary Appalachia
Pantera Cowboys from Hell
Fleetwood Mac Rumours
The White Buffalo Once upon a Time in the West
The White Buffalo Shadows, Greys and Evil Ways
Linkin Park Meteora
Morgan Wade Reckless

So many!!

Oh this is a great album

I normally listen to Indie and some of my favourite albums from different genres are:
Jazmine Sullivan - Reality Show
Fay Hield - Old Adam
Miguel - Wildheart
D'Angelo- Black Messiah
Archy Marshall - A new place to drown

Those are all much-loved favourites except the Gnarls Barkley, so that can go on the list!

Meatloaf bat out of hell (but it might mess with your timings)

Skunk anansie - post orgasmic chill

The The - Soul Mining

Martin Stephenson and the Daintees - Salutation Road

I want to know this too! You didn't actually answer the question.

Ten - Fred Again
5 - Sault
Zaba - Glass Animals
Sometimes I might be introvert - Little Simz
Between the country - Ian Noe
Lost in the dream- the war on drugs

Maybe also try Liz Phair, White Chocolate Space egg then!
