I've decided to set out on a new venture, which is to listen to the highest rated album of EVERY sub-genre on RateYourMusic (http://rateyourmusic.com/rgenre/). This will take forever, surely, but I believe it will be worth it. When I look at it, I've actually experienced so very little of the musical realm, and I want to experience essentially every type of music there is. I will not be skipping any sub-genres, unless I don't believe that it is really a musical thing, such as (non-musical) comedy albums, or various spoken word albums, or if I've already listened to the highest rated album from the genre. If I truly hate something, then I'm not going to force myself to listen to it, but the criteria is that I have to listen to 25 min of each album before turning it off.

I'll post about my experiences on my blog (http://voidofemptinessmusic.blogspot.com/).

If anyone wants to join me in this experience, go ahead.
