I did that in 2014. I don't recommend it. You need more time to soak a great album in. I listened to a lot I considered to be very good, but was not able to truly revisit them because the quick pace. I recommend 1-3 new albums a week, so you can fully appreciate and understand the music. I ultimately consider it a waste of my time, since I was unable to do that.

Also, you will end up listening to a lot of dumb, irrelevant shit just trying to pad out the 365.

Just chill out and take it "slow". You will regret it if you don't.

If you do 3/week, you can do one for a new release, one for something you really want to listen to (pure recreation), and one for expanding your knowledge or to challenge you. That's roughly been the model I've followed since the 365 challenge.

If only these were actual lego pieces

is it really that hard if this includes any album you heard in prior years? by that metric I've already listened to 200 albums this year, but most of those were just single check ins on things I've heard a bunch of times over the years.

thats a good plan, I just want to build on that one part you mentioned:
>one for expanding your knowledge or to challenge you.

I think this what that is to me, without having to really really dig through a crate of random shit which gets exhausting:

>1 recommendation from a bandmate
a must. being in a band is like book club.

>1 release that is in 1 of my favorite artists catalog that I haven't actually listened to.

>1 release that is somehow related to my favorite artists but I haven't actually checked out

>1 release from just an artist or album that it seems I'm supposed to know about, but haven't tried yet
which is a real wild card...

>1 release actually created from someone in my network
this is actually the real wild card, if it's a friend of a friend that recorded a whole album they will either become an artist I follow loyally OR I will spend the rest of my life sort of uncontrollably condescending them by never letting conversations pass small talk.

Of course not. But I think we're talking about albums you've never listened to before, and so we need to program some extra time in to digest and then graduate to "enjoyably familiar", which is what you're doing with what you've already several times before. Not arguing with you, just clarifying what I mean.

>>71018459
but did you listen to those albums this year without skipping any tracks?

i think it counts, the last thing you wanna be is another old fogie who listens to the same 10 albums... but if the same albums you listen to is 365 different albums well it's ok

>Also, you will end up listening to a lot of dumb, irrelevant shit just trying to pad out the 365.
having to listen to bad music is the punishment for not doing enough research.

You can't listen to a masterpiece 365 days in a row. And I generally researched albums beforehand to see the overall critical consensus, but sometimes critics are overly nice or the sound's aged poorly, or you liked the band's earlier discography and then it took a nosedive. Sometimes an album just doesn't click with you like it does others. Try listening to 365 albums in a year. You will inevitably end up listening to schlock or stuff that just doesn't end up jiving with you.

idk I've listened to like 100 new albums I haven't heard before this year so far and I still have a ton of time to listen to favorites and revisit my favorites I find.

ok I don't disagree, I just, it comes with the territory, I'm fully willing to endure this kinda stuff. I did 365 in 2016 and I didn't even share the list with anyone because there's some REAL stinkers on the list lol. I just like it, whereas I used to have foggy notions about what artists I do and do not like, I know have a fairly complete picture on discographies etc... you know what I mean? This is actually cool, how many people fake cried when prince and bowie died, and how many have actually heard every album in their discographies

this
almost all i listened to back in around 2009-2010 were new releases.. i could never fully enjoy an album and a lot of it wasn't even good to begin with
