Title: Albums That Made an Impression - The Facebook Challenge That Signaled the End
Post by: Ted on August 12, 2023, 08:23:45 AM
I just published a blog post that is sort of about my musical influences, and mostly about something else:

Albums That Made an Impression – The Facebook Challenge That Signaled the End (https://half-heartedfanatic.com/2023/08/12/albums-that-made-an-impression-the-facebook-challenge-that-signaled-the-end/)


ChatGPD did an excellent job converting the thumbnail table from HTML to BBcode, so here are the albums mentioned in the post:

That was interesting.

I might have to check a few of those albums that i've missed (99% of them :)).

Good read. I, too, need to check out some of those albums as they would be new to me.

As an exercise in "could I do that?" I checked my imported library and have 3043 albums by 1648 artists with a total number of 37593 songs. I don't think I'll be rating each song. That being said, there are a lot of albums that I don't think I'll ever listen to. A bigger challenge for me would be to delete the albums I don't listen to and import more of those that I would if I had them in my library.
