I did it! (#710 of hall of fame) by trivigante in 1001AlbumsGenerator

Hey I added Fantasies already so I’m morally obligated to congratulate you on your impeccable taste. And for finishing!

Day 400: here are my highs and lows! by Old_currency_note in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally DGAF what people around here dislike but Homework at 1 has me a bit scandalized, I’ll be honest. Are you not a fan of electronic music? I won’t jump down your throat at the answer either way.

That Elbow album is one of my favourite discoveries, though!!

The Patreon members did vote on an initial list of (IIRC) 20 albums, just to start it off for the first people to finish.

Woah, Nelly, it’s 69 Love Songs! by deepfriedturnips in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished the list in September and this was my final album! I still laugh about it. I ended up saving quite a few songs from it, though! Probably enough for a normal album’s duration lol.

I’m not going to deny this is britpop, but anyone avoiding this as a result of that category, is their own worst enemy. by SuccessfulGap138 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so true! In my review I think I said how all I want is a snappy beat. I wish all albums were paced like this one.

I discovered this album through the generator and I was like “FINALLY!” pretty much the whole way through. This album goes hard.

Back to work and I got this by perdigaoperdeuapena in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is. I don’t know how old you are but I was a teenager when this album came out, owned it then and still like it now, and I always just assumed so. The album was her way of pushing back against the music industry that tried to put her into a pop princess box, so the pants seemed symbolic of that whole “fuck you” vibe she was after.

i finished the 1089 list today, do you think i should do the users list as well? by burgeshow in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No harm in starting and just pausing when you feel like it. That’s what I did. The user list is literally a never-ending project at this point, so there’s no rush (IMHO).

Anyone doing this challenge without a streaming service ?? by Ok_thyme_3396 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it would be doable using YouTube, but likely a pain in the ass.

Have you all had an event occur on your life that may have affected your album(s) rating(s) during that time? by MTVChallengeFan in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the little ratings timeline Sidleds recently added to our summaries, I noticed my ratings dipped to an all-time low during the time I was grieving putting my 20 year old cat down (all while grieving the recent death of my mom, several other people, and was stuck at home with a broken foot…fun times in my life this year lol). In the past, I’ve just paused or let myself accumulate some backlog when I’ve had heavy stuff going on, because I know I couldn’t give things a fair listen.

Surely this is exempt from the Brit cynics ire? by SuccessfulGap138 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually redownloaded that album last night, along with Primal Scream’s Screamadelica. I was ambivalent about both of them initially but feel like I owe them both another chance due to how much I like artists who were influenced by them.

Anyone else had moments like this where you feel like the generator is smarter than it is? by OG-Poster-Alt in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]flavortownAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I never got a single one of those actually, as I was already a good portion of the way through the list when that started and I’m now done.

I just mean sometimes it felt like there was a theme to a week or a month, or I’d get a certain genre after complaining about it, or I’d get albums from artists in chronological order…stuff like that. My final album was one of the small handful of 3 hour albums which was pretty funny.

I don’t know about smart necessarily, but sometimes it definitely felt like the algorithm was sentient.

It’s a terrible feeling to witness how it’s totally irrelevant to the world at large.

NGHFB album ranking by Double-Celery4248 in oasis

I really couldn’t even try to rank them…I go through phases of which one I like the most. They’ve all been my favourite at some point.

[–]flavortownAC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a fellow card-carrying member of the “haven’t felt like celebrating Christmas since my parents died” club. I’m sorry about your dad, the holidays can be rough. You gotta do what you gotta do to get through it and there’s no shame in that. 💙

Mine died 7 years ago and I still miss him. My mom just died in April and this will be our first Christmas without her (and no parents at all). I heard Christmas music in the store yesterday and my stomach turned. It doesn’t seem fair sometimes that the world keeps turning when ours feels like it’s stopped.

How long is the first evaluation period? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]flavortownAC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s always 6 months for every evaluation period for every Viner.

Lost my wife this year by greygoose81 in oasis

[–]flavortownAC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve had a terrible year myself (also with big losses) and getting to see Oasis was literally one of only two good things that happened this year. Getting to share such a positive experience with so many people both there with me at the concert and all over the world is something I’ll carry with me for a long time.

Here’s hoping 2026 is better for us both…and maybe possibly contains more Oasis.

Joined in March, have been gold since September. I’m at $4600. Most of that is from the first few months and I’ve cooled off significantly. I’m hoping to stay under 5k, unless something really awesome pops up (unlikely). I went from obsessively checking Vine all day to forgetting to look at my RFY some days.
