Re: The album running-commentary and general listening discussion thread. Part 4!

[Nightjar]

I've managed to whittle it down to about 106 minutes (although it's arguable that a few more can go because, rather than being especially good or iconic songs, they're instead sung by someone unusual or for something out of the ordinary - Richard Chamberlain, Bobby Goldsboro, Manfred Mann and the Casino Royale theme tune for example)...

Removing those four tracks brings it down to 96 minutes - that's a double album session of 48 minutes X2.

Or, in the former case, 53 minutes X2.

Are these the ones from The Scaffold?

Did we ever do the legendary McGear album?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

The one where's held down like Gulliver?

I think we did.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

That said I can't find it, then again it's not found anything with mcgear, which is odd, as you've just mentioned it.

You'll all be thrilled to know that I'm going through The Parlour of They Whose Race Is Run looking for some of the albums I already own, and for the ones I own that I haven't already voted for I will listen to them independently, report back and vote accordingly.

Starting back in 2019, I'm now up to July 2020 and already have five on my list.

Have we done a Stooges album other than Raw Power?

Did we even do Raw Power?

[Nightjar]

I think Wendi insisted that the Power must be fully cooked through if we ever did.

[Nightjar]

Hey!

I've had an idea!

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

[Nightjar]

Limited-duration, bespoke playlists of songs that don't belong to any album or even manageable compilation of various artistes?

No more than 4 or 5 songs and no more than 20 minutes long?

It's just that I keep...

etc

[Nightjar]

I've already composed 50% of one.

[Nightjar]

Things is taking shape.

[Nightjar]

It's extend to songs from albums you know would be awful for everyone (especially included yourself) but where there are lone songs worthy of subjective acclaim/tolerance.

There'd be no star system.

Perhaps just a simple...

[Nightjar]

I'm proposing a whole new sub-genre basically.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I have a few ideas for such a thread.

[Nightjar]

NO!

I refuse to do threads where someone decides which are or not the songs worth acknowledging on album.

It's unspeakable and unacceptable.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I thought that was what you were suggesting.
