I had an idea for a thread, which is a little bit like the now defunct Haven Book Club, where we all listen to a classic album during a three week slot and then post up our thoughts, comments, and feelings about it the week after.
That way we can get through around 12 albums a year. The reason for the long time span, is I am assuming that not everyone who takes part will have all of the albums, if any. So we will need to visit Spotify, Youtube, etc to listen to the tracks and form our opinion.
First of all, have we got any interest from anyone, because obviously it only really works, if we have at least 6 people taking part and leaving comments, reviews etc for the rest of us to debate.
Second, we then need a list, from which I'll choose an album each month. So for now, please show your interest and suggest albums that should be on the list to be reviewed.
These are my suggestions.
