Sorry but it's totally something else.

    It wasnt solely the music as a form back then, musicians mindset had a lot to do with it, society at the time & the happening things.. everything was closely related. Sorry man it's all finished.
    ...there's nowt progressive about being stuck in the past

    Lots of great suggestions folks
    Another idea from The Grand Wazzo
    Instead of using the v oting mechanism different members can take turns to nominate an album, one week it can be classic the next an album to recommend but also offer up for critical feedback.
    If we do go this way then it be easy to cover for specialist taste quite easy
    I suggest as it Grifo104 (Simon) idea he goes first and then creat a list from those who has expressed an interest in this
    So the list could look something like this
    Grifo104
    John
    Welder
    Keiths
    Alan Sircom
    WAD62
    Vinyleyes
    MartinT
    Andre
    Audioman
    Ursus262
    Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?

    Humour: One of the few things worth taking seriously

    Just reading this and what a great idea and likely to cost me more money like you say John

    Just saw Stackridge mentioned, that alone makes it a great idea - a band I had forgotten about . . . nice one fellas. Will have some recommends later.

    I'm coming to this late on, because it's moved fast over the day, but count me in.
    If anyone needs some advice about how to get onto Spotify, I think there's a thread somewhere. Alex will be able to point it out, I'm sure.
    It's easy and it can be free if you don't want to go the full way & pay for it.

    You'll have to stick to stuff that's available on Spotify.

    On a personal note, I sang Faure's Requiem with the local choral society a few weeks ago. It's stunning.
    The difficulty with classical is that there are so many different versions that we will need to make sure everyone listens to the same one, or else the follow-up discussion about the album is going to be pretty meaningless.

    Imagine if the album was Elgar's 'Cello Concerto and some listened to the du Pré version, some to the Tortelier version and some to Casals etc
