1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die

Recently I read an article from the star tribune called "To Die For." by Jon Bream. This article discusses the new book by Tom Moon called "1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die" it is a long list of musical artists and their albums that are a must hear before you die. There are many obvious bands and artistes on the list like the Beatles and Bethoven but there are also some surprises like Britney Spears. The author did make a good point that with out all of her problem in the tabloids she is a talented artist. I don't really agree with the author because although i am fine with Britney being in the book but i still think that some better artist are not in the book, they said in the article that the book had Britney but shut out people like Billy Joel, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, and Christina Agulera who i believe that their music is more important to hear before you die. Although i think that there were some bad picks i think the author did an good job with some choices. There were even some Minnesotans in the book like Bob Dylan, Prince, and The Replacements. But all together this article did make me want to check out this book and see all of the other picks for recordings to hear before you die.
