Posted February 6, 200817 yr a new feature that should help stimulate convo/discussion. MY ALBUM OF ............. the idea is to pick a topic, anything, from artist, genre, year, mood (happy/sad), decade, etc etc etc... and then pick the 12 tracks that youd want on that album. with a little commentary on each track. we would then be free to comment on the choices, and of course compile our own choices on the thread. anyone can start a 'MY ALBUM OF.......' thread, this should make for a diverse choice in topics. just use the header 'MY ALBUM OF....' then insert the topic. as thisispop's major project will soon be comming to an end, i thought this could replace it here in retro! what do you guys think?...
February 6, 200817 yr Sounds like a good idea. I did something similar on my own site a few years ago where people would create their own 'Personal Stereo' mixes. It'd be a 45 minute mix with songs year by year from throughout their life consecutively. Mine went like this... 1. Adam and the Ants - Prince Charming 2. Buck's Fizz - Land of Make Believe 3. New Order - Blue Monday 4. Jesus and Mary Chain - Upside Down 5. Wayne Smith - Under Me Sleng Teng 6. Sophia George - Girlie Girlie 7. Justified Ancients of Mu Mu - The Queen and I 8. Mantronix - King of the Beats 9. Carter USM - Sheriff Fatman 10. Adamski - Killer 11. Flowered Up - It's On 12. Prodigy - Out of Space 13. Boo Radleys - Lazarus 14. Tricky - Black Steel 15. Ash - Kung Fu Edited February 6, 200817 yr by richie
February 6, 200817 yr I like it... so we could do, say, an album of 'Chill Out', or a 'Happy' album, kind of thing?
February 7, 200817 yr Author I like it... so we could do, say, an album of 'Chill Out', or a 'Happy' album, kind of thing? yep! :)... anything, with so many options for topics the idea could run for ages... but i wouldnt like to see too many active threads running at once. id sooner have some depth in fewer threads then have a whole pagefull that dont get the full mileage out of them. but we will just play it a it comes.
February 8, 200817 yr Author ........ plus you dont HAVE to like the tracks you nominate for the album, you could add them as 'classics' or 'reprisentitive of the theme'...
February 8, 200817 yr As long as you state which then I guess either would be ok. Mind you, I guess the idea is to choose a theme where you like all that you're putting on it... Maybe we should have to make the compilation and listen to it relentlessly afterwards? That'd make everyone think harder!!

Maybe we should have to make the compilation and listen to it relentlessly afterwards? That'd make everyone think harder!! well you could reply to someone elses thread even if you didnt like that style by stating something like...'not my style but 'x' was a classic of this genre/theme and should be in an 'x' album.
February 8, 200817 yr I think this is a great idea. You can go at it from a lot of different angles/themes/concepts and it could potentially run and run.
February 8, 200817 yr Like this idea a lot. Maybe some of these should be collaborative where someone suggests a title for the comp and them songs are added by different people.
February 9, 200817 yr Author I think this is a great idea. You can go at it from a lot of different angles/themes/concepts and it could potentially run and run. absolutely, theres so much mileage in it, but i dont want like loads all running at once as id sooner get depth out of several rather then floods with few replies...
