#102 is wrong — 33 weeks ago

102 is a SINGLE by Loretta Lynn…just that one song…and NOT the whole album. If it doesn’t exist in the system, someone would have to create the entry.

No 1 — 34 weeks ago

Wee Small Hours – Frank Sinatra disappeared from the list so I put it back.

Madness — 41 weeks ago

Item 503 has been changed to correct entry Rise and Fall by Madness.


Stephen V Funk
Chicago

Shalimar — 42 weeks ago

The #340 item here was a classical album titled “Shalimar” by Alan Hohvannes instead of the soundtrack listed in the book. Added as new item and changed.


Added Elvis Presley — 1 year ago

It was on the source list as well as in the book, but it wasn’t listed.

Has anybody noticed that the list currently holds 1000 items instead of 1001 ?

Fixed Cheap Trick — 1 year ago

Somebody seemed to think the live album At Budokan by Cheap trick from 1979 was by Dream Theater. Wrong list for that band, so deleted the Dream Theater entry and added Cheap Trick at 446 or so. Raaawwwkkkk on people!

Missing albums found — 1 year ago

I compared the list to the book and added the three missing entries.

These were:
#94 Younger than Yesterday
#201 Sweet Baby James
#339 Nighthawks at the Diner

I also spent several hours reordering the ones that were out of place. Hopefully the list will stay correct for a while…

List Source — 1 year ago

I think the list source is part of the problem. I counted 1008 instead of 1001 on that list. Besides the fact that it’s not numbered, it seems somewhat inaccurate. Can anyone find a better list source?


Josh
San Luis Obispo

Edits — 1 year ago

I added a couple albums that were missing and reordered stuff. Seems like this thing has trouble keeping the order of items straight with so many things in it, so I gave up on ordering.

We’re still 3 albums short of 1001 though, it seems.
