This started by me merging a bunch of lists of music to listen to: - 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (merging multiple versions) - Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - NME: 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Pitchforks Album of the Year (Just the Top Album) - Albums that have won one of these awards (Pre-2023, am not sure if I'll continue to update this): - Mercury Prize - Brit Award - AMA - Grammy - Fantano's Top 200 Albums of the 2010s - Misc. Album Charts that I've found to be interesting None of these sources are particularly perfect or complete, but they make me to listen to some music I otherwise may have not given a chance. Only see it as slightly better than what I used to do in the past, i.e. scrolling through streaming services and picking whatever they happen to have featured. (Edit: as of now, am pretty comfortable using charts/recommendation lists to find things I'm more likely to be interested in, so will likely not update the Grammy/Mercury/AMA/Brit Awards from 2023 going forward, because I find my judgement for new music to be (slightly) better than what the award shows pick) This contains code to interact with my spreadsheet -- listing the next albums I should listen to, validating the data using the Discogs API An older version of this repo is pushed to albums old -- became difficult to maintain due to size concern","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/purarue","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/purarue/albums/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
