You Should Be Listening to Music - the 1,001 Project.
We (Holly and Kelly) love music. I feel like we've always loved music. As far back as we can remember, there was always music playing in the house, all sorts of music - rock, opera, symphonic, country, blue grass, soul. We ended up both enrolling in music lessons and getting music degrees. We both play a bunch of instruments and music still plays a big part of our lives.
For this project we both picked up the books 1,001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die and 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and have decided to listen to a song a day and an album a week for the next, well, 1,001 days/weeks. The books run in chronological order, so we will be starting pretty early in the 20th century. We will listen and discuss, talk about what we like and what we don't, what speaks to us, what makes us what to press stop on the CD player. What may inspire us to buy the album, what may confirm what we already feel about a song/artist/genre. Join us, won't you?
My first thought is did "metal" make the list? You inspire me to someday blog about the one metal album a day that I listen to. I notice "metal" is missing in your opening paragraph (unless by chance you listen to "symphonic metal" or "opera metal").
