You, my reader, are going to pick an album for me to review each month. It is really simple…first, I will give you 5 albums to choose from and second, you will tell me which one of those you would like to see reviewed on the site. See…simple!
There are a few simple rules I have put in to place in my selections. They are…
- One has to be a new release (within the last month)
- One has to be one I have never heard before (new releases don’t count for this one)
- One has to be from a genre I don’t normally listen to at all or very often
- And the last two are choices from my collection that I haven’t reviewed before
What are the 5 albums you ask? Funny you should ask because I have those right here…note: I tried to throw in some non-obvious choices to make things a little more interesting.
New Release – Adelitas Way – ‘Shine On’
Never Heard Before – Funkadelic – ‘Maggot Brain’
Not My Normal Genre – Stevie Wonder – ‘Songs in the Key of Life’
From My Collection – Mr. Mister – ‘Welcome to the Real World’
From My Collection – Genesis – ‘Genesis’
Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in September, I will post a review of the album that gets the most votes. You have one week to decide and from there I will start listening to the album and do a review.
Thanks for participating!!
Being a bit wary of first impressions in music, I’ll vote for the epic Songs In The Key Of Life. Like you, I have it but don’t know it that well.

Funkadelic – Maggot Brain gets my vote. I haven’t listen to it as well.

That is the one I was hoping might get a lot of votes as I have been wanting to dive in to that one. I am going to anyway regardless of what gets picked, it just might not get a review.

Looks like the Wonders have it but I’m gonna vote Genesis. Illegal Alien is a bit shite but I love that album.

Genesis now has a couple votes. You never know who could win. I actually got a like on Twitter by the band Adelitas Way so I am counting that as a vote for them.

Illegal Alien is stupid, but intentionally so I think. Still a shit song, but that album is pretty good overall.

I will put you down for Stevie even though a vote for losing one is still worth casting because I feel bad when one of the choices doesn’t get any votes like what happened with poor Pat Travers last month.
