Completing the 1001 Albums Challenge 

I had the 2005 version of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die – I’d owned it for years and had a flip through the pages, but never really studied it. And then someone asked me how many of the albums I had heard – was it half? Was it all? I figured the […]
