1001 classical recordings you must hear before you die biggest omissions

I bought
that book a couple of years ago. Since then I’ve been reading it and I haven’t
found great master pieces (at least considered by me). There is a large list of
20 century works that I think are not as wonderful as they are advertised, stealing
pages for better ones. Have you had the same opinion?

Any Kiss albums make the list?

Possibly the works are good but the performances were not to your taste? There are many "great" recordings which I can't stand - one man's meat is another man's poison, and all that. It would help if you listed some examples.

Maybe, Caligula, you should realise soon what you have to listen before you die: omit these 1001 recordings! You have some 50.000-60.000 more recordings to explore.

RE: 1001
How many washing powders have you tried because I know one that gets things twice as clean with only half the powder.
Or the stuff that cleans a big, big carpet for less than half a crown, perhaps?
You sound like a marketing mans dream. How many washing powders have you tried because I know one that gets things twice as clean with only half the powder. Critics are always writing books full of the most useless waffle. 1001 books you shouldn't have bought.
