Not everyone will like every music they ever hear. I STILL don't really like the Beach Boys or the Rolling Stones (even after hearing their most acclaimed albums), and it's okay. It's not a matter of forcing yourself to like anything. It's a matter of trying to learn and understand how to appreciate different forms of expression.

I used to agree ENTIRELY that Dark Side and all of Pink Floyd was boring. If you look back to earlier posts I've made on this forum, you would see that. But I've since come to appreciate all sorts of expression and I would never dream of calling them that now, even though they're still far from being one of my favorite bands. I believe this essential album project really was the last step towards helping me accomplish that, and I've had no trouble listening to all of these albums back to back.

It's really fascinating, to be able to hear all sorts of different slices of history and people represented through mere sound waves.

But it's not my loss if other people don't enjoy the same things I do, or vice versa. I think people get way too caught up in all of that. I understand that Scott doesn't like Henry Cow, or that Juan thinks Pink Floyd is boring. It doesn't matter. All that I have tried to accomplish with the list is to allow people to have the same opportunity that I have had: to uncover these priceless experiences and perhaps form some great memories. This is also what PA is all about, and I think it's sometimes easy to forget. It was my time away from here that made me realize this.

That's why it's a great idea, there is so much music on it that I makes me go "I should check that out" but never get around to. LOL And there have been some albums I've listened to lately that made me angry that I took so long to listen to. LOL

I've been biking earlier today, which was good. 

Also, I am considering myself to be a gamer more and more again after 2 years or so with no gaming.
Playing Final Fantasy III a lot these days. Well, not a lot, but I play it.

I won't begrudge you your list, even if I don't agree with much of it.  My liking or disliking Henry Cow aside, I would argue that outside of Prog Rock or avant rock they are completely unknown and probably have nil in influence, whereas King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King has influenced Kanye West. Wink  You mention Red influence grunge 20 years before its time.  Not sure that I agree with that. Interestingly, I've never understood Neil Young as the godfather of grunge moniker either, although it is good to see 1 of his albums make your list.  I do argue that 21st Century Schizoid Man created progressive metal 30 years before its time.  But I digress....my reason for making this post was the time capsule curiosity of seeing what you will think of this list 10, 20, or 30 years from now.  Certainly some of these albums will still have much importance, but I think that a number of them you will probably look back on and wonder what you were thinking when you added them to the list.

Why music is so f*cking subjective... ?
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.
