✅ Michka Assayas (France) - Albums missing in ”1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die”

Post by lagire »

I have also the french version (2009) of "1001 albums qu'il faut avoir écoutés dans sa vie".
The book stop at 2007 albums but the copyright registration is from 2009.
There's also differences with english version, i suppose.
i just need that someone give me a link for a complete list of the english version (from 2009 if it's possible), or so i 'll take the list from wikipedia as working base.

Like the songs, there's a preface of Michka Assayas with international and french albums additions, up to 2005.
and there's french rap albums !
i start the fill.

PS: Do I have to post here the differences and errors from the english version, i found for the songs (about 2400 changes and additions) ?
i yet sent the excel file to henrik.

Finally after browsing the book, there's no changes with the wikipedia list (Mc Solaar, Gainsbourg, Brel...).
I just post the preface of Assayas and Henrik will decide if it's eligible. (perhaps some are yet in 1001 list)

Re: 1001 chansons qu'il faut avoir écoutées dans sa vie

Post by Henrik »

One strange thing about the list by Michka Assayas is that 5 of the "should have been" albums he listed were actually included in the English version of the book (I think they have been included in all English editions).

Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy
The Only Ones - The Only Ones
Pere Ubu - Dub Housing
The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane
The Gun Club - Fire of Love

Does this mean that the albums were replaced by other albums in the French edition, and that this change was critizised by the preface writer? Or did Assayas not check carefully which albums that were included among the 1001 albums? Anyway, it all seem rather clumsy to me. :-?
