The Unfan

So this is an idea I had but I'm not quite sure on details. We could work that out later I guess. The idea is that every week we choose an album to listen to and have an in depth discussion about. What we like, didn't like, what kind of mood it evokes, maybe even some theory stuff for us music nerds.

Granted, the entire site is dedicated to music, reviews, and discussion of those things, I think this differs in that instead of searching for something you know you'll like the amount of diversity created by a group effort will hopefully open up some minds and have people listening to things they normally wouldn't. Additionally instead of being a band thread where you essentially have a bunch of fans saying how much they like something this would be more open ended.

I'll edit this post when I figure out exactly how to get this working. I'm thinking something like PMing suggestions and using some random method to choose from there.

I'm game for that....it'll be like Oprah's book club, without the annoying host - hahahaha

The only difficulty that might arise from this is choosing the album... I think that you should choose, Unfan... Unless of course the PMing and random method work...

Muzoid

Yes....I think a list should be made....maybe use the order of signing into this thread....and they can pick the next album (I know it makes me next, that's not a devious plan though - hahaha, it just seemed logical )

Hopefully we can find albums in which all (or most) can be found on youtube, or playlist site.

If someone is away for too long and no choice is made, we just move on to the next, and come back to them later.

I moved your thread to the Suggestions, Feedback, Comments section.

We actually had a discussion thread going a few weeks back on a similar idea (Band of the week). I like the album listening part of your idea a lot. I don't think enough people listen to complete albums, and I believe most (good) artists intend for their music to be experienced in that complete and progressive way.

We had discussed using the chatbox for this, but I think it should be a threaded topic instead. With maybe one night a week chosen as the listening night, which could be done in the chatbox setting. A few of us listened to an album together (via the chatbox) one night, and it was a lot of fun.

As I recall we had decided to let Cowboy select the band each week (We all knew that collectively we would never be able to decide/agree). I know he's been busy lately, but I'll see if I can nail him down on this. I think we just need to get it started, and the idea can develop as we go along.
