Stevens will someday peel off when Croce and James Taylor are still audible. My 7-year-old probably won’t find Stevens in his copy of 1000 Recordings, umpteenth edition, which I hope to buy for him some day. But it’s lovely work, precious to hear, and to apply myself to now. I’m finally more complicated than this music (and so is Yusuf Islam, I hear), but it’s wonderful to have this stone to touch again.

About 1,000 Recordings

Celebrate the joy, the revelation, the mystery, the fun, the sheer shivers-up-the-spine pleasure of great music.

Essential operas. Milestone rock albums. An education in the blues. The world of world. Classical from Bach to Bartók to Beethoven to Brahms. And dozens of unexpected gems, surprising discoveries, and long-lost masterpieces.

This is an online version of the list (published alphabetically in the book). The entries in the book break down genre bias and broaden every listener’s horizons—think Miles Davis to Claude Debussy to the melodic story-songs of The Decemberists. And the writing is passionate, informed, opinionated.
