[@adrianokury]

I remember flipping through the LP bins, wondering about the contents of each album based on the sleeves. I grew up in a highly effervescent period (born in 1962), when many things were happening. Blessed be this internet era, where we have access to everything. I'm trying to sample all the great music I missed over the years, but nothing can replace the experience of acquiring it gradually, within the context of its time.

[@realzeroxtrem]

thats so sick man. its gotta be crazy to watch all those years of music passing and growing and dying

[@adrianokury]

@@realzeroxtrem When I was 5, my dad gave my Rubber Soul and Revolver vinyls. I remember the fuss when the Beatles split and my aunties crying over Paul's wedding hahahahaha... Later, we had a cult radio in Brazil that played the long electronic/prog tracks, Autobahn, Echoes, all those Italian prog acts. I watched Camel, Genesis, etc live. I remember when Floyd issued Wish you were here and my cousin got an imported album for me. Then came Punk, Synthpop. The Police. I watched Urgh in a theater. Then we had Rock in Rio, MTV... Now we have streaming... And to live all of these things, one at a time... I guess the perspective of the layers is stg unique.

Very cool video, as a music nerd myself I wish I could take on a grandiose project like this, but I'm not one of those people who can listen to a new album a day since I like to familiarize myself with an album through multiple listens & read about it, plus I worry I would get easily burned out and overexposed to new music. I give major props to anyone who can do this! Also you didn't really talk about this in the video, but I'm curious how you decided which albums to listen to, were you going through some sort of "greatest albums of all time" list?

[@realzeroxtrem]

the first part of your comment is so true! i was definitely on the cusp of burning out and not enjoying it as much as before. and part of me regrets that i couldn’t just sit with each album for longer like you said, but i’ve been relistening to lots of them recently to understand the music better with the deciding of what i’d listen to, i would just scour rateyourmusic and spotify for artists that looked cool, and if i couldn’t find anything i’d listen to an artist’s discography who were one of those “greatest of all time”

But how can you make this analytics by listing one album for day? I say it bc in 3 year, if u listen 1000 album i guess you have listened a new album everyday.
