1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die is a musical reference book edited by Robert Dimery, first published in 2005. The most recent edition consists of a list of albums released between 1955 and 2010, part of a series from Quintessence Editions Ltd. The book is arranged chronologically, starting with Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours and concluding with The Suburbs by Arcade Fire.
Each entry in the list is accompanied by a short essay
written by a music critic. The entries are accompanied by pictures,
quotes, and additional information (such as the album's running time and
producer).
Film soundtracks were excluded unless they consisted fully of original
material by a particular artist, which meant that compilations by
various artists were also excluded.
Genres
Although most of the book's recommendations are rock and pop albums from the Western world, 1001 Albums also features selections from world music, rhythm and blues, blues, folk, hip hop, country, electronica, and jazz. The rock and pop albums include such subgenres as punk rock, grindcore, heavy metal, alternative rock, progressive rock, easy listening, thrash metal, grunge and 1950s-style rock and roll. Classical and modern art music is excluded.
Revision
Originally published in 2005, the book was revised in 2007, 2008,
2009, 2010 and 2011 to include newly released albums. The 2010 edition
includes 25 albums released from 2005 to 2009, with the same number of
albums removed from the first edition to keep the total at 1001.
The cover was also changed, with an image of Blondie's Debbie Harry used in place of the images of Kraftwerk
and a child wearing headphones that had previously been used in the EU
and U.S. respectively. The cover for the Brazilian and Spanish edition
features the Sex Pistols's Sid Vicious, the cover for the Norwegian edition features Hank von Helvete of Turbonegro, the cover for the Finnish and the Swedish editions features David Bowie, and the cover for the Polish edition features Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
The latest version, released in 2011, has the Andy Warhol-designed banana from The Velvet Underground & Nico in the cover, with the Brazilian reissue using Debbie Harry.
