Hah! Don't worry: when I saw 36 replies I said, right, they hate it. You do. Fine. I couldn't care less. Just an idea. However, to respond to a few comments:

Or you could look at it as a way to share the music you like with others. Maybe someone would actually engage with you? Oh what the **** am I saying here??

Wouldn't have been just one artist. Anything you like.

Anyway, I'm not doing one, at least not until or if Pet Sounds comes back (we were going to rate our favorite songs). Anyway, maybe you guys don't like this idea but at least Troll is trying to keep this place from becoming stale.

It had an impressive run - that's something allright - but these last few albums have been mostly ignored and the rules that were meant to encourage participation have failed.
All the Album Club needs is a good transfusion and it'll be fine. Doesn't help that I'm falling behind too.

Actually, does everyone want to keep it going? If you're all fed up, let me know and I'll just shut it down.

I read that as "I'm gonna shut up now and die".

All your albums would be in my list anyway for a start.

Exactly.

Fine. Whatever. Just thought I'd ask the question. Carry on.
