1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die is a musical reference book edited by Tom Moon, released in 2008.
It consists of a list of albums. The book is arranged alphabetically, starting with ABBA's Gold and concluding with Tres Hombres by ZZ Top. Each entry in the list is accompanied by a short essay written by the author. The entries are accompanied by pictures, quotes, and additional information (such as the album's running time and producer). It is often confused with a different earlier book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Genres Although the plurality of the book's recommendations are rock and/or pop albums, 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die also features a healthy sample of world music, R&B, rap, blues, hip hop, country, electronica, classical, and jazz.
