I also have the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", although in all honesty, there are several albums in the book I'd rather not hear again before I die.

I got some country album from late 50s.

A generator for the potential book "If You Are Tired of These 1001 Albums Then You Are Tired of Life" would be nice, though it might induce suicide.

"'When you are tired of Ursa Minor Beta you are tired of life.'
—Quote from Playbeing magazine, as a result of which the planet's suicide rate quadrupled overnight" (Douglas Adams - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" which references Dr. Samuel Johnson's "Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." I've found London to be less than very affordable, but that's life.

By the way, when I saw this topic title I thought it might be comparing Magma's 1001° centigrades, Yes' Big Generatorand Abba's The Albums compilation (or the Jethro Tull 4 Albums compilation.

I'll give the generator a try at some time. Lots I love and am pleased to see that is mentioned in the book, and I am of the opinion that something can be well worth listening to even if it doesn't match your tastes. I'd like to experience various new to me things that I wouldn't entertain/ try otherwise.

Yep.  When I first started listening to pop radio as a kid that was one of the top songs at the time.  

I just tried it and got the Smith's Meat Is Murder. Now that is a cool and coincidental result as I was listening to the Smiths a few hours ago and discovering more of its music (In fact I've listened to more of the Smiths today than anything else), and the Smiths is not something I often listen to.
