OMJ Essential Album Random Selecta

Loose_Lips

Keep an eye out here for @Foxy_Dread ’s randomised poster selection.

If your name comes up, start another thread with the Artist - Album as the title using the new tag for Essential LP’s.

Harvest

Hope it’s GG Allin’s Gutrot next.

The randomiser has spoken, once this one is put to bed the nominee will be named. Is a seven day cycle too long? A sIx day cycle perhaps.

Jon

Foxy_Dread Five?

I think picking each person/choice on a Thursday or Friday, and then each 7 days, allows time to give it a decent listen and then provide input and overall opinion.

Anchor

So new one on Thursdays then? Excite.

Foxy_Dread

So if Flaneur would pick his essential LP next please. Desist from naming it until later this evening or tomorrow. Thanks.

He’s a heavyweight this could be good. Jon’s a heavyweight too but for some inexplicable reason he didn’t make the scales.

Loose_Lips

Foxy_Dread nice one

@Flaneur - new thread please under the Essential tag.

Let’s keep this clean.

Harvest

And can more people offer their opinions please. Even something like this would suffice.

Harvest

Hoping this becomes a mix of what are regarded as essential albums and ones that the nominee has never heard, like Jon’s choice.

Foxy_Dread

For reference there is nothing to stop Jon or Flaneur being selected next week, although they carry a 0.5 randomiser weighting which makes it highly unlikely.

I must be a bit thick because I find this thread incredibly complicated.

Cooley I am a bit thick and also find this thread complicated. The last thing Foxy Dread suggested, I got wrong and got told off by them.

Cooley

90Piesanhour I think we’ll close the door behind us, Pies 😉.

Harvest

Someone is chosen on a Weds/Thurs to pick an ‘essential’ album for everyone to listen to.

That person starts a new thread in the music section/OMJ essential albums - with the name of the artist and album title.

Everyone listens to it and posts their opinions from Wednesday (?) and gives it a rating.

Repeat the week after.

90Piesanhour

And ‘essential’ is, in the opinion of the person posting, or might be one they don’t like, but feel that it should appear in any half-decent record collection?

Cooley

90Piesanhour I’d just choose one of your favourite albums and see what the others think. If my name appears that’s what I’ll do.

Harvest

90Piesanhour Your choice I guess. Cuts chose Armed Forces as he’d never listened to the whole album in full. You might want to do the same or choose one you know backwards and feel belongs in any decent collection.

That’s how I see it. For more information there’s a glossy brochure knocking about somewhere.

Cooley

As to where we’re at, I’m assuming Foxy’s chosen his Elvis album, and Flaneur’s coming up next. Correct me if wrong.
Thanks Harv. All clear now for take off.
Good idea this.

Harvest

Cooley Jon chose Armed Forces, but yeh, good to go now.

Kevin_Stapleton he’s whittled it down to a shortlist of 20 classics, the final decision could be any day now.
