PD vs 1001 Albums

I'm listening to the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
I don't care if an album is "important" or not so even tho I've given star ratings these aren't really reviews, they're reactions.

Now, opinions are like arseholes. They're never wrong. So you're gonna have to make peace with the fact that I may well rip your favourite artist a new one.


Strong language throughout.
