Submit your favourite 60's albums for our next music contest!

[Sydneyfan]

I'm trying to decide which sort of music-related poll we should run next, and at this stage I'm leaning toward a "Best Album of the Decade" approach ie: Best Album of the 70's, 80's etc.

Would people be interested in this type of elimination poll?? And should I start in the 60s or 70s? If I use the same format as previous contests, I will need a minimum of 48 albums, so it has to be an era that people are relatively familiar with.

Feedback appreciated and if anyone has any other contest ideas, we'd love to hear them.

[hildegoat]

I'd say start with the 60s. There's some classic albums in there. I'd also say skip the 80s because I don't even think I could name 48 albums I've heard from that decade. :P

[SkortBrun]

Sounds like a good idea to me, C.

[Sydneyfan]

I'd say start with the 60s. There's some classic albums in there. I'd also say skip the 80s because I don't even think I could name 48 albums I've heard from that decade. :P

Yeah, but all the really good Pogues albums are from the 80s. So I have to do that decade. And The Pogues have to win. Yes. :upyours

[Starlite]

I'm hopeless - I'm not familiar with music that was released before the 90s :o

[blueone]

I'm good with this. And, as M said, we should start with the 60s. :upyours

[Faded Rose]

Definitely start with the 60s. I don't think we should miss out any of the decades - there must be some good albums in all of them.

[Blindtiger]

Great idea! I pretty much agree with the group. I think start with the 60's and don't leave out the 80's! So your 48 will include multiple genres? Just throw them all in there and let the votes sort them out?

[Sydneyfan]

Yep, we will include all genres. The only criteria are the release date, it must be an LP and no compilations. Live albums are fine.

And, as suggested, I will start in the 1960s. Thanks for all the input, it's appreicated.

So, I'm now calling for submissions for best 60's albums.:guitarsolo

I can't believe I forgot that one. I actually like the self-titled record from that same year better.

[maleneee]

I can't believe I didn't remember it until now either, I've listened to it so much the last months. It's such a amazing album, the self-titled as well, I didn't realise they were released the same year.

[littleamen]

Well, I guess that depends on where you look. Wiki says the self titled was released in 1970. Google music says 1969. hmmm???? :confused

[FrigidRoses]

Sly & The Family Stone - Stand :nod

[Sydneyfan]

I've been slower than an ewok trivia quiz in a coma about getting this organised, sorry. I've had a couple of people say they are still working on some suggestions. If they still wish to contribute it would be great if they could get their album ideas to me shortly.

No, there's lots of Beatles albums included, never fear. I forgot about the Monkees, they were fun. I have their Greatest Hits album or whatever it's called.

Oh, good! I need to learn to be more trusting. :P

[Blindtiger]

Err...sorry. I'll try to get the groups sorted out today. Really. :o

:o I wasn't so much trying to rush you as trying to bump it up so everyone could be sure they've submitted their albums. Then you could be able to get it up. :upyours

As for me, every great album that I can think of has already been listed. :\

[Sydneyfan]

Now worries, I needed a reminder anyhow. I've made the lists and I'll get this contest underway today. :)
