This will be tough to complete — 16 weeks ago

Both in the sense that you have thousands upon thousands of items to enter into the list before it’s fairly complete, and in the sense that if anyone wants to actually complete the list by consuming the items, they’ll be old and poor (or have a huge criminal record) before doing so. Not to mention the nightmare of maintaining it.

A bit of a kamikaze project, really, though I appreciate your trying. Good luck.

Yes. I agree on all points. I’ll never know whether or not I’ve found all of the five-star albums. I just keep adding as I find them.

I’m not dedicated to listening to all of these but I think having such a list at people’s disposal is of value. I hope that anyone with an interest can page through it and find some great music to listen to.

I use the libraries for my music addiction and have listened to 41% of this list. That percentage will tend to be skewed higher for me than for others because I’ve added albums to this list based on what I’ve listened to (I look up the artists and add their 5-star albums) and so it’s missing the great albums for musicians that I haven’t investigated yet.
