Today is actually My 5 Year Anniversary of Blogging. And perfect timing for this post because You, my reader, are going to pick an album for me to review for next month. I love that fact that we aren’t going to celebrate my blog, but instead I want to celebrate you by letting you pick something for me to review. I want to give you the voice. We have been doing this for a while now, so I am glad this month it fell on this day.
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 – The Fratellis – Half Drunk Under a Full Moon
Never Heard Before – Radiohead – ‘OK Computer’
Not My Normal Genre – Parliament – ‘Mothership Connection’
From My Collection – The Doors – ‘Morrison Hotel’
From My Collection – The Rolling Stones – ‘Sticky Fingers’
Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in May, 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!!
I like Sticky Fingers and Parliament but I think you should probably do OK Computer.

Thanks Steve! It is hard to believe it is 5 years already. And I treat myself to that album a lot. It would be nice to finally put thoughts down on that one. I added it to the count.

God, you’ve got me thinking. My initial thoughts of “Sticky Fingers” or “Morrison Hotel” is countered by my curiosity on the others. Therefore, because I have little experience with Radiohead, I’ll go with that one.

Going with Parliament. Believe it or not.
Why get half drunk under a full moon? Why not go all the way like a real man?

You have to record it though as an audio so we can hear you slur. I did that with Tommy Lee’s solo album. I have to admit I only previewed each track though, didn’t listen to the whole thing.

The bottom 4 are all on the 1001 list – so I’ll vote for The Fratellis to see if they’ll perhaps be list-worthy on a revised list one day as well!
