Great thing to try!!

For 2023- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. That’ll keep you going for 6 months!

Why Kendrick at the bottom

Thats in order of when I listened to them

Oh few

Definitely a major undertaking with some of those acts!

Could also have been tough to keep going if you'd maybe decided you didn't enjoy some of the material, perhaps if they'd had a patchy career. Some good broad choices.

My recommendations for 2023 would be Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix.

For Hendrix I'd urge you to include listening to the posthumous release First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Although he died in 1970 and this wasn't released till 1997, it's basically a compilation of the material he'd been working on and had intended as his almost complete fourth studio album. The tracks are even presented in the sequence he'd been planning. The delay was mainly down to legal problems with who owned the intellectual property rights.

I went back and re listened to Queens of the Stone Age. Found a new appreciation for albums that I didn’t previously love (Lullabies to Paralyse and Era Vulgaris) that I now can’t stop listening to.

How did REM hold up? Some of their stuff I love, but some I just couldn’t get into. My favourite era of theirs is the late 80’s run of albums from Life’s Rich Pageant up until Green. I re listened to Out of Time lately, and found that it really doesn’t hold up. Just my opinion, but it sounds dated, and there’s some real filler on it - the good songs are excellent on there but there are only 3 or 4 of them and the rest wasn’t very good.

No Talking Heads, you suck (but seriously; I love you)

Would also add Villanova Junction. It's fantastic.

Carly Rae Jepsen having a great back catalogue sounds like a meme, but she's genuinely brilliant

​

genesis/peter gabriel

elvis costello

neil young

B-52's

Eric Clapton, in all his forms and facts, from the Yardbirds to his solo stuff, to his guest appearances, like Roger Waters ' the Hitchhiker's guide to the Universe, or movie soyndtracks

Some bands if you do this in 2023

Public Enemy Between the Buried and Me Alice In Chains Clutch Type O Negative Billy Joel U2

Bowie the chameleon !

Neil's catalogue will keep anyone busy for a while.
Such a prolific old fart !

I tried to do this with Metallica and I just could not get through Lulu. Did you actually listen to the whole thing?

Era Vulgaris is really good.

Unpopular opinion, st anger is actually a pretty good album though definitely not their best of course

Some 2023 Suggestions

Prince

Parliament and Funkadelic

SufJan Stevens

OutKast

and

Led fuckin Zeppelin

Also include must include Band of Gypsys for Hendrix

*phew

Yh cheers how did I not notice that one, so many years and I might have said it wrong the whole time

Did this with The Cure this past year and now I’m obsessed.

Well, he is Neil Old now.

She’s got a lot of fun pop songs to just bop along too

They were on the list, just didn’t get to them. Maybe 2023

If you thought Bowie gave you whiplash....

Yeah. For some reason it didn’t click with me at the time. I never gave it much of a chance.

I have a lot of time at work so I started doing this as well. Currently I'm on Modest Mouse.

I agree with you. Very different sound but I didn't think it was bad.

Time to try out Lana Del Rey

The Roger Waters album is ‘The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking’, the title you referenced is ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy’, one of a series of novels written by Douglas Adams. Just sayin 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is how I've been listening to music most of the time for the last six years, although I haven't had the time for it in 2022.

I’m a deadhead, but a lot of their albums suck. Live shows is where it’s at.

Did you do them all in chronological order? That's my favorite way to listen to an artist grow and evolve.

Bowie definitely makes that trip interesting.

I recommend trying it with Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin and King Gizzard
