We’re kicking it old school. And we clearly didn’t go to B-school.This useful/useless excel spreadsheet lists the results from a reader poll we conducted through this blog, the series twitter and facebook. The question was simply: What albums are missing from the 33 1/3 series? We received hundreds of replies. These are all of the albums that were suggested more than once.
What can we learn from this? That someone should submit a proposal on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. It was suggested 6 times. Also: The Cure, Sparks, Lauren Hill.

Had I known about this sooner I would have suggested Heart of the Congos. As others have mentioned, diversity is key to keeping this series interesting, and it’s a little surprising there’s not a single book covering a Jamaican artist (yet). I know it’s mainly a singles genre, but seems like at least one Lee Scratch Perry production warrants a book in this style. Looking at you, David Katz…
How is Rush not on this list? Mystifying.
How do you folks feel about “Mermaid Avenue”, speaking of Wilco?

The YHF story has already been told in countless magazine profiles, a book (Learning How To Die by Greg Kot) and a film (I Am Trying To Break Your Heart)
The YHF story has already been covered in a book (Wilco: Learning How To Die by Greg Kot) AND a film (I Am Trying To Break Your Heart)
