Week 147 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social was a good mix with one obvious standout 😍

Week 146 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social has one of the greatest live albums ever, some early morning DnB and a band I’ve never heard of
November 5, 2025 at 8:03 AM
Week 145 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social caused a scene when I scored Talking Heads lower than Dizzee 💁‍♂️

Week 144 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social and some things still surprise (the titular track on the John Grant record) and some things don’t (how much I enjoy downbeat Latin acid jazz)

Week 143 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social and we have hit 1001 albums!

On we go 🙌

Week 142 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social, and the crackers show no signs of slowing. Nor do the odd choices 😆

Week 141 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social started with a bang, and went out with a bang of a different sort
October 1, 2025 at 7:41 AM
Week 140 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social has some absolute bangers, the best British songwriter of the 21st century and me still not getting Björk in the slightest
September 24, 2025 at 9:11 AM
Week 139 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social did not hit the heady heights of week 138
September 17, 2025 at 5:54 AM
Week 138 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social is the joint top-scoring week. Despite including Genesis!

Week 137 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social 😄

Back to back 5*

Week 136 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social had a lot of fine but not brilliant offerings, plus 2 bangers
August 27, 2025 at 8:46 AM
I think that’s clear
August 26, 2025 at 2:33 PM
Week 135 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social feat peak mbv and 2 albums which I’m sure are excellent examples of their genres but really aren’t my sort of thing
August 20, 2025 at 8:06 PM
Insanely happy with how this conversation started and ended

Week 134 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social was fine, nothing horrendous but also nothing superb (Emmylou Harris’ voice aside)

Week 133 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social

A clear highlight here with peak-Pogues. The National album is also excellent. Not convinced Dirty warrants a place on this list but Goo absolutely does
August 6, 2025 at 6:44 AM
Week 132 of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social feat. peak Tim Buckley, not peak Tupac, not peak Bowie, peak 1990s, possible peak track ever written

Can you have a word @bengoldsborough.bsky.social? We don’t defeat Reform by trying to be like them, we defeat them by standing up to them and explaining why they are wrong…I know you are keen on this approach as your recent article showed
