When I get to the end of this thing I’m adding Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
318 down so far | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I knew of them in Australia at least, they must have had some presence here in the 90s. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Yeah turns out I was wrong and they had a couple of singles on the alt rock US charts, minor success in the Netherlands and an album that creeped into the top 100 specifically in Australia. Still interesting to see the vast difference in popularity between Canada and the rest of the world. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Clearly some bands have local success only. Elvis Costello the obviously example, huge in UK and apparently unknown in the USA (based off the reviews on the 1001 site), Kate Bush in the same bucket. Kid Rock and Fiona Apple probably opposite, probably not well known outside Northern America. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I love that abum | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Deep cuts and classics there. Nice! 👍
The lead single from the Models album "I Hear Motion" is new-wave/synth-pop banger.
Here's some to add:
The Easybeats - Easy (because Vanda and Young need representation)
Livin' in the 70's - Skyhooks
Regurgitator - Unit (clever, a little crude for some and tongue firmly i... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |

Great album, btw | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Nonagon Infinity would work but maybe put a few KGATLW cause their sound differs a lot | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I think Elvis Costello is an interesting case. It's true he never had a huge mainstream hit here (in the States,) Veronica, a top 20 single was the closest he got, but I wouldn't call him unknown. At one time he was considered an important artist by the music press, like Rolling Stone and other music magazines. I remem... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
It is and it is. As per OP it is an album I think is unique from my own country | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |

New Zealand checking in.
Anything from Dunedin in the 80s.
Also Split Enz, more Crowded House.
The Muttonbirds - Salty. Don McGlashan is such an incredible song writer.
Straitjacket Fits, Chris Knox, Tall Dwarfs, Toy Love.
Garageland - Do What You Want. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
NZ music is great, seemed (from afar) to have an awesome indie scene in the 80s/90s.
Straitjacket Fits are still on my regular playlist, especially Melt. Hugely underrated band. Love that guitar tone.
Split Enz had great songs too, every bit as good as Crowded House.
Garageland - Come back, all is forgiven! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Denmark:
Mew - Frengers
Trentemøller - The Last Resort

Mercyful Fate - Don’t Break the Oath
King Diamond - Abigail | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
There's a running joke with NZ music that we never really make it outside the country and when we do, it's not some established band, but a complete random chance event. (OMC - How Bizarre, Lorde - Royals).
I've been enjoying The Beths (one of the best bands of the last 5 years no contest) and Marlon Williams. For mor... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
There's a bunch more listed in:

I was thinking of suggesting Fully Completely when I'm done. It's a solid Hip album that did well commercially, too.
A bit more obscure is Whale Music by The Rheostatics. Perhaps a Stompin' Tom album for something really different?!? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
How about Fat Freddy's Drop? Although certainly not mainstream, they're quite popular here in the Netherlands. Are they big in NZ at all? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die (But You Will) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I will check these out. I don't know much about Chilean music except for Víctor Jara, who is partly inspired by Violeta Parra if wikipedia is correct. Jara's death in 1973 was a big deal with political artists all over the world and I could definitely see an inclusion of one of his albums on the list. That Los Prisione... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I really like the idea of artists and bands that are massive domestically but virtually unknown abroad. Often it's because of the language barrier; it's hard to launch a career in an English dominated music business.
I'm from Sweden and we have this band Kent that are huge. I would include their album Du & jag döden ... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
A Scandinavian 1001 would definitely have Kent and Kaizers Orkester on there. Both were very big here in Denmark too. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Finland
Not super much to report here, only a handful of albums I think have made global cultural impact. There's only one Finnish album on the original list, Hanoi Rocks' Back to Mystery City, and while that had an impact on style and looks of rock icons, it's not a great album by any means. Here's what I would consi... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Can I throw a vote for Norwegian band Kings of Convenience, loved Quiet is the New Loud? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Sweden has some great acts, but I'm really into Kite. Obviously Johnny Boy was my introduction to them, but they're a great synth band | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Ireland is really well represented already, but everyone needs to hear Whipping Boy's 2nd album Heartworm. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I'm surprised that no Split Enz made it into the book. That whole type of "wacky" new wave/art punk got zero representation now that I think about it, except for arguably the Madness album (no Oingo Boingo, Wall of Voodoo, XTC before their psychedelic era, Yello) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Merciful Fate or King Diamond definitely should have definitely had at least one album in the book. They're some of the most essential heavy metal. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I think an album from Cut Copy would make a nice addition too. I think In Ghost Colors and Zonoscope are better than a few of the albums from the 00's that are currently on the list. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Post-rock is more or less non existent in the book aside from the Sigur Ros album and Spiderland, I get that it wasn't trendy at the time but it's kind of embarrassing, especially given how popular it is today. Mogwai's first album at the very least seems like an easy inclusion, but apparently not. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Sweden. So I guess we have ABBA | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
There are a couple of ABBA albums on the list. I got Visitors last year and that's been one of my favourite finds so far, great album. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I just looked at the track listings for their albums...Phantom Power could be a good one, too. Poets and Bobcaygeon are so damn good.
I hope you do suggest one of their albums! More people need to hear them. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Yes, Victor Jara is indeed an important figure. I could have listed him, he's equally deserving, but chose to highlight other artists instead | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Raveonettes is a good call, but I’d rather go for Pretty in Black or Chain Gang of Love | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I’d go for Hagnesta Hill instead of Du & Jag Döden, but that’s mostly personal preference. Wouldn’t be out of place to include Hellacopters or Hives - Veni, Vidi, Vicious on the list either. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I don’t think you can really go wrong with any of their albums, so I wouldn’t argue against anyone preferring one of the others.
I mostly chose LLL because Aly, Walk with Me is a good entry point, and the album as a whole goes into some interesting sonic directions. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I'm neither Swedish nor Canadian, but I think Robyn's Body Talk and Carly Rae Jepsen's E MO TION belong on the list. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Yeah Ireland happens to have one of the most popular bands ever (U2) and probably the biggest indie darling (MBV)
Thanks for sharing Heartworm, I just gave it a listen because it sounded interesting and I really enjoyed it. I'm certain I've heard When We Were Young before. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
You could probably fill an entire book with albums from Belgium, depending on which music critics you ask.
They'd probably all agree to include Stromae ["Racine Carrée"](https://music.apple.com/be/album/racine-carr%C3%A9e/1440856001?l=nl&ls) (2013).

Either of the four albums Isola, Hagnesta hill, Vapen & ammunition or Du & jag döden could have been chosen. That's one of the best four album runs ever in my opinion!
They have a The Hives album on the list, but could definitely switch that one out. Yeah, Hellacopters would be cool as well. Or Nicke Andersson's othe... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I agree with Kent. The album “Vapen & Ammunition” being the obvious choice as that was huge and universally loved. My personal favourite though, is their second album “Verkligen” from their initial guitar-focused period.

As for some albums by Swedish artists not included in the book who sings in English that could make the cut:
The knife - “Deep Cuts” (2003) or “Silent shout” (2006). I find it weird that neither of these made it in to the book but Fever Ray did

Yeah, Refused is a pretty big omission. As is Bathory who may not be as successful in the mainstream, but who was immensely influential in extreme metal in general and black metal specifically. Sweden also have a lot of influential d-beat (or kängpunk) bands, but that niche is pretty small. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
Great additions, especially the prog and jazz bit. Sweden has several pretty influential prog acts, but way overshadowed by some of the larger acts in the genre. A case could be made for Hansson & Karlsson and their Hammond organ and drum shtick.
As for jazz we also have e.s.t. But there are bigger and more influentia... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |

I don't understand the absolute hate for this one. I've been bopping along to "All The King's Men" since it made several 2009 end of year lists. It's probably not an indie album from 2009 I'd put on the list though. There were some better albums in 2009 to choose from. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |
I enjoyed this album myself as well. Not on the same level of an album, like "Violator" by Depeche Mode or a New Order album, if we talk about albums that will make me dance. It can also get a bit slow, but I dont mind. A 4 stars for this one | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-06 |

It’s a great album would be one reason. And Giant Sand is the starting point for Calexico, a much better known (although quite honestly not as interesting) band.

I got this album today too. I have to say it didn't really leave any sort of impression on me. Parts of it were okay, parts didn't interest me
