Listen Up: Classic Artist of the Week • Page 4

Ha, I don't even doubt it.

 

@Craig Manning I think you'd find a lot to love in their self-titled

 

Any chance we may get a Steely Dan week?

 

Only if you all are willing to put up with a dissertation on Jeff Porcaro

 

I want Garth Brooks week

 

I don't know if you've heard. But I'm quite unfamiliar with him.

 

I blame it all on your roots.

 

Hell yea. I want to have an everyone week. My goal is to keep this going long term, so I want to keep it varied between heavy hitters and smaller favorites, bounce between genres, etc.

Oh you KNOW there will be a Toto week

If I branch into the 90s, you know he's happening

 

Is this a Garth Brooks reference? Cause if it is I already told you i'm unfamiliar with him.

 

@cshadows2887 If you branch into the 90s, will you be dedicating one week to the Spice Girls or extending it to give hem the space and time they deserve

 

I like this. This is like a book club.

 

More or less, yeah. Just with more freedom. Rather than the one book for everyone, you get to customize your week to what fits you.

You can't see the face I am making right now, but you know me well enough that I bet you can imagine it

 

It's very rare that I find a way to get under your skin, so I've gotta embrace it

 

I was about to remind you about a certain band and song that do it without fail and then was like...why would I give you that ammo

 

Suggestions for future bands, along the heavier/underground side of things:

Led Zeppelin
The Stooges
Black Sabbath
King Crimson
MC5
Motorhead
Velvet Underground
The Kinks
The Cramps
Talking Heads
Thin Lizzy
Can
Joy DIvision
Deep Purple
Pink Floyd
Television
Big Star
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Rolling Stones
Jethro Tull

 

I'm planning to hit everything. I actually had 3 or 4 of those in the running to pop up in the next few weeks. Definitely going to be trying to run the gamut from jazz to pop to singer songwriter to soul to rock, etc

 

@phaynes1 Love me some Television. Have you checked out any of the ABBA records?

 

I haven't yet. Been crazy busy with school. It's the plan for tomorrow though.

 

I missed this thread

 

You joining the site totally reminded me to jot an artist down to do.

 

gee

what artist

could it be?

 

Actually not Van

 

Starting on ABBA: The Album.

 

Hop in the ABBA thread, sir!

 

something i was just thinking about. would it be an idea to set up a direct message conversation to alert users that a new artist has been chosen? it's probably a lot of work to collate all of the users into one conversation to send them to. i feel like just thread bumps could get buried in the mountain of notifications users can get if they're active.

any thoughts?
