The Album Review Club - Christmas Break Until 8th January

[PragueBlue]

With this thread, you can check out any time you want but you can never leave.

(and of course, you are always welcome to get back on the nomination train - I don't think that that one was an Eagles lyric, though).

I might well do after my move this Summer.

Swear Nirvana/Teen Spirit was played every other song.

Yeah mate — by the early 90s I was married and working. I’m talking early 80s when new wave, Michael Jackson, and post-punk exploded.

It's just below the league table on page #1.

You are due to nominate next Wednesday, 1st May.

Should have known, sorry! Next Wed no worries, just have to decide which album.

I also went to Loreto College to do my A-Levels between 1984 and 1986. Maybe I just missed you by two years?

Exactly right - I'd have walked out in the July, as you walked in in the September. Maths, Physics and English Literature in my case.

Nice! Now do music genres

Lol, like this thread could agree on a genre breakdown! :-)

There'd have to be a vote as to whether Heartland Rock was it's own genre. People would be arguing that you can't lump Cohen in with Dylan. Despite Coatigan explaining it multiple times I'm still not sure I understand what EMO is. Me, Bimbo and Goat would be arguing about the best way to break down electronica. We'll still be talking about the cut off line for something to be 'heavy' rock in three years time. Jimharri would interject just to abuse Morrissey. It would be chaos on a stick.

About the only thing we'd be able to agree with is that A Grand Don't Come For Free is a brilliant ground breaking genre all of it's own :-)

I know the ABC songs but I've never listened to one of their albums so I'm looking forward to this.

I know @RobMCFC got other things to do, but it would be good to put the stats into some AI type thing and see what we can get out of it! :)

You mean like predict the next album we should be listening to based on the scores so far?

Nearly a match - Maths, Physics and Computer Studies for me.

Ha ha now that would be interesting..! Or what's the next album from each contributor!

Could get stats on genre/decade/units sold etc too

I suspect we would have shared some teachers then. You must have been one of the first to do Computer Studies because I'm pretty sure it wasn't an option for me despite the fact that was what I was planning to study post A-levels.
