Day 200 Update: (a few days late)
I confess I'm a little unimpressed with some of the late 60s selections. Far too much time is wasted on repetitive psychedelic rock. Great albums are left off the list so a bunch of junk could be there instead. But anyways, their 70s picks have been pretty great so far, so I'm happy again.

Day 300(ish) Update:
100 days later and we're still in the early 70s. That is my favorite decade for music, so for the most part I'm pretty happy. But we do still get into the weeds sometimes, and it makes me wonder if this level of thoroughness was really necessary. And if we really want to get into what's most important to music history, shouldn't Piano Man be prioritized over whoever Alex Harvey is?

This is certainly a good lesson in music history, but it leaves a bit to be desired as a lesson in good taste.
Can't say I would recommend slogging through this by yourself, but as a communal activity it can be a lot of fun.
