Starting at the end: Album number 1000

And so we begin, with the best of intentions to avoid skipping any songs or albums (This lasts ages. Honest.) with the exception of Greatest Hits compilations or live albums which Spencer and I have decided don't count. We subscribe to Napster and Spotify so finding and streaming even the more obscure artists should be simple.

Each album will get marks out of 10 and this is not at all objective. It's decided based on what we both like, our mood that day and our varying ability to tolerate whining/screaming/whinging/rapping/jazz/country singers/angst and yodelling. (Note to self: Should you ever release an album, call it Angst & Yodelling)
If there's a song that stands out to us, I'll mention it. We're also deciding if we like the albums enough to buy them.

 Album 1000 on the list is Big Star - Radio City.

A quick internet search tells me that Big Star influenced many as a band with cult status. I haven't heard of them before but considering this album was released in 1974 it sounds remarkably fresh.
I think it sounds like modern retro indie band stuff rather than genuine old stuff.



Nothing that epic in itself but a timeless quality.

Notable lyric: "we're going to get on up/and drink till we drop." Cool.

Rating: 5/10

Standout song: I'm In Love With A Girl

Will we buy it: Maybe
