i hope this doesn't step on that other thread's toes too much and if it does we can delay it for now but thought i'd get the ball rolling.
i have been really enjoying this blog lately: http://ramalbumclub.com/ and thought i might be able to use it as inspiration for a thread
but i'm lazy (and tbf to me, busy) and rather than make it a weekly thing where i'd have to write loads, i thought we could do it like this:
basically, i set you a bit of homework and hopefully we get some GOOD CONTENT
i have been really enjoying this blog lately: http://ramalbumclub.com/ and thought i might be able to use it as inspiration for a thread
but i'm lazy (and tbf to me, busy) and rather than make it a weekly thing where i'd have to write loads, i thought we could do it like this:
1. people express an interest in this by PMing me a longlist of atleast 5 and no more than 10 iconic albums or artists that they have never listened to. if people need a starting point, look through the list in this thread for ones you've missed out on: http://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?109470-The-NHC-s-Top-100-Albums-(2015-Thread)
2. i will reply with a shortlist of 3 of those albums for the user to pick from.
3. once this user has selected their album, they then listen to the album atleast 3 times and fill in this basic template with words:
1. Top 3 albums ever?
2. What the critics thought of [album title]
3. Why haven’t you listened to it before?
4. You’ve now listened to it, at least 3 times, what do you think?
5. Would you listen to it again?
6. Mark out of 10?
4. they then send it to me whenever they're done writing their piece.
5. i will post them up as i get them back (probably with a minimum of a day or so breathing space) and we can all have a read and reply with our own thoughts
basically, i set you a bit of homework and hopefully we get some GOOD CONTENT
