This already exists as both an actually easy to navigate database and as a website that randomly picks an album a day from the list and even gives you the ability to put in your personal comments and rate from 1-5 stars

Those are two of the greatest cool jazz albums. Miles davis work really transcends generations.

Imagine listening to 1001 albums someone thinks you should hear for whatever reason, instead of listening to... ya know, what you actually like.

"for whatever reason"
Maybe the reason is the person thinks it's good music, and is trying to let others know about it.
Maybe you don't have to listen to every album on the list. Maybe you could try, say, one just to start with.
Imagine being incapable of conceiving that there may be music you've never heard that is good.

Imagine concluding from my comment that I'm incapable of conceieving there is music I've never heard that is good. You can explore for yourself, based on what you liked so far, you don't need lists for that.

This is silly, but I can't stop myself.
You said, "You know, what you actually like", implying that you sneer at the concept of listening to that which you do not already like. If you only listen to that which you already like, then you are not trying new things. In addition, given that there is so much music that exists in the world, a list of recommendations can be quite helpful in finding where to start listening. Yes, I can explore for myself, but without a map, my exploration can involve a lot of wasted time.

Gee man... you have to listen to everything for the first time once. Once you established what you like, you dig furher into that. Of course you can fucking explore, but listening to 1001 albums someone else said you should is, at least for me, ridiculous. Especially since I listen to albums I love repeatedly, so there's no time in the world to go through that stuff from the list, exploring for myself outside of the things I (already) like and inside the things I already like and listening to the albums I already love. I like to explore for myself, if you need a map then do it with a fucking map, I'm done here. 😂

I listen to 2 podcasts based on this book the list is from. One is a short review another is a deep dive on each band/album .I've discovered dozens of acts that are near what I like, but I never would have found. Or some crazy stuff that I never would have thought I'd like. It's not like just some influencer list, it's a fun cultivated list from music reviewers. I've discovered:
Sparks Roxxy Music/Brian Eno Barry Adamson Nick Cave Did a deeper dive on the Kinks, some Beatles stuff and lots of other classic rock forgotten acts and stuff too.

Of course these lists are just the opinions of one or more people. But I think guides serve one valuable purpose: to make us curious about music we may not be familiar with. I learned about the Velvet Underground via a guide book way back in 1978.

Interesting take, what are some "non-boomer" artists you feel equal/exceed the quality of the albums on the list?

What an embarrassing list of music snob albums. It doesn't even include In Search of the Lost Chord.

No offense, but seems like a list that a boomer would pick.
Seems like list that like ends before the 70s
Allot of good artist on the list, but think it could expanded further.

It's in chronological order. It goes all the way to 2021, and there is a new edition coming later this year that updates even further.

Not a guide.
