Welcome to the music meteorite motion player! This is my attempt to start a blog on my favorite hobby, listening to music. I am no expert on music. In fact, a lot of times I have trouble understanding the lyrics (I eventually get it), but I love the music behind it. I guess that's always been my draw anyway. I love how the guitars play off the drums and bass guitar, how the singer molds his voice and lyrics to go with the song, how the bass player and drummer lock in, how a well-timed organ chord takes a song to another level, etc. I just dig music! And I wanted to talk about it (for some reason).
Anyway, the reason I started this blog in the first place was to talk about a project I'm undertaking. I follow this website, http://www.metacritic.com/, which I go to everyday. It is my source for finding ratings on all sorts of albums. Granted, it's scope is limited (for music, it's essentially from 2000 and on), but it's a great place to see what numerous critics (professional and amateur) think about an album. I use it to keep up-to-date on what is good out there. They use numerical scores to rate albums. Anyway, they have a link for the "highest rated albums of all time" http://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/metascore/all?sort=desc, which keeps updating for any new music that cracks the list. My project is to listen to as many, if not all, of the albums on their all-time list and see what my impression is.
I'm hoping to get input from anyone that's interested that may have heard one of the albums on the list. I will post the list and my first "review" (for what it's worth) in a few days. Anyway, it's great to share thoughts, so please don't hesitate to comment. Talk later!
