Now then, time do decide on the next battle. I'll exercise a bit of "editorial responsibility" and suggest that we do
Folk Rock next. Among the genres that people have expressed an interest in, I think this one would make the best contrast with the genre we've just done. These are the albums for the Folk Rock battle:
Quote:
1. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
2. Joni Mitchell - Blue
3. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
4. The Band - The Band
5. Neil Young - After the Gold Rush
6. The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers
7. Richard & Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
8. Songs: Ohia - Didn't it Rain
9. Pentangle - Basket of Light
10. George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

If anybody has any issues with that list, let me know. And if someone really wants to do another genre instead of this one, feel free to pipe up, but if nobody else shows interest in whatever you suggest then we'll probably be doing the folk rock one. Anyone who's okay with doing folk rock: It would pe helpful if you could give an estimate of how long it would take you to listen to all the albums you haven't already heard and prepare your ranking to start voting off albums. That way I can set an appropriate deadline for the first round that everyone will be happy with, while also not delaying progress too much.
Furthermore, I figure it's about time to move this whole shebang to a new thread, so I will create one in a relatively short amount of time. It will be much more practical to be able to edit the OP to reflect the ongoing battle, and I'll also store the information about past and future battles on the first page of the thread for easy access. So keep your eyes out for that, because the announcement for the next battle will be posted in that thread, not this one.
