FULL RECAP 50's

So, last summer I made a list of noteworthy albums from some of the most acclaimed and most popular artists in the world that I never heard in full and planned on listening through in chronologically order. Originally it started off with just classic 70 soul and funk albums that I never heard in full, but I decided it'll be cool if I just expanded to several genres and go further back to the early 50's.

First, I was just going to make separate threads for the most popular artists and react to them @Uhhhhhh style, but just decided to throw all them in one thread and get the lesser known artists in. Currently I just got to 1958. The pace I been going at is like an album ever 3 or so days, depending on the length.

I can proudly say I can add the word chorological to my vocabulary after today.

Typo

I wasn't lying, it's a real word. I had not heard of said word up until now.

Share the list

yeah no lie, the list is actually pretty ridiculous . A significant portion of the albums I already heard many times, but I wanted to revisit them to see how they sound in the context. But probably not gonna do that anymore, since the list already so massive.

Honestly might need to go through it again and cut out some albums

have u listened 2 the cure? list long ash lol

Nope, never heard anything from them

need 2 do a deep dive immediately
