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…
New Release – Wig Wam – ‘Never Say Die’ – Their back!!
Never Heard Before – The Velvet Underground – ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’
Not My Normal Genre – Chris Stapleton ‘ Starting Over’
From My Collection – The Rolling Stones – ‘Tattoo You’
From My Collection – ZZ Top – ‘Eliminator’
Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in February, 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!!
Afterburner 🙂 (consider this a vote for Eliminator)

Considering the fact that Mike did a ZZ Top Deep Cuts show not too long ago, I vote for ZZ Top Eliminator! 🙂

That is why it is on here as the show made me want to listen to them so I added it. Thanks for the vote.

They are a band like Big Star…their influence was bigger than their record sales…but they had a huge influence on bands.

Tough choice as you got great albums for ZZTop and the Rolling Stones. I like “Tattoo You” because for me, it marked a return from their previous two albums which were too disco for me. Since I can’t decide, I’ll go with WigWam because I’ve never heard of them before.

Wig Wam is a great choice. I am excited about that album coming out next week. I liked the first song so hope the rest is good.

I’ll vote for VU & Nico (I didn’t fully ‘get it’ when I listened to it 9 years ago), perhaps I’ll appreciate it more now – and a 2nd vote for continuing this series, John, it’s a good monthly feature!
