Having grown up with parents who were children of the ’70s, and a mother who was a big Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young fan, I have definitely heard Neil Young songs. So I decided to take the suggestion and pick Neil Young and the album Harvest. An album by an artist that I had always been meaning to listen to more, but his sheer volume of albums had me worried I would pick a dud and be turned off from going further. In the end, I had a list of nearly 50 albums to choose from, but there was one album that multiple people suggested. Plus, I wanted to write about a band that was not as easy or that I didnt have as much knowledge of their catalogue as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Yes, I had heard of these bands and have more than likely heard many songs from their albums, but never straight through and not the deep tracks on the albums. How could there be so many? And so many classics?! The Beatles, The Clash, Fugazi, The Rolling Stones. My embarrassment grew more and more with each suggestion. I enlisted the help of friends on Facebook and in real life to tell me their thoughts on essential albums a music appreciator should have heard start to finish. When given the assignment of writing about an album I should have heard in my quarter-century of music listening, I realized there are far too many albums that fit that category. ![]()
