I had a thought while perusing the What Album Are You Listening To thread. I often come across a post there that reminds me to listen to something I've not heard in a while or sends me in search of an album I've never heard. A lot of times I want to have discussions about a record, but the thread moves quickly, by our standards, and the conversations are brief. I thought we could do something on this thread, if any of you want to participate, where one person chooses an album and we all listen to it and discuss. It could be any album; a classic we all have heard, something you love that you always try to get other to listen to, something you haven't even heard. We could do an album a week, or a month, take turns choosing the record, discuss it and argue and agree and engage in general banter.

Okay, let's start with the five interested folks we've got now and I'll add anyone who joins us as we go. I've set the order in a reverse list of people who posted, so we'll have our choice of album in this sequence.
@MagicRatAFC
@SteveInJoburg
@whispered secret
@Louisa
@Jerseyfornia
@Scott Peterson
@Brown Eyed Boy
@Bill Zebub
@Walkerinthesun
@berlintramp
@klavallee
@Mario Brega

Let's post each new selection roughly a week apart. This doesn't mean talk of an album has to cease when a new one's posted, of course. Looking forward to your selections.
NOTE: It's probably best we stick with albums widely available on streaming services, but if someone is set on something too obscure, we'll work out a share.
Hey @Jerseyfornia , do you guys still do this? If so and if I'm not jumping ahead of anyone I would like to propose this if so.
Damn didn't think it would be that big!
Fair comments Rick.
Let's give the album club a rest for a bit. A lot of us have been too busy to participate and we've gone at it pretty religiously since the start, but I don't want to burn it out. A few weeks and we'll try to get the sequence rolling again.
Let's move on to @Mario Brega . Going by the last communication I had from @klavallee , he won't be around the forum for a while.
