Psychedelia Album Club

You've got a good point, Trollheart. I think since psych is a rather broad genre, we'd better go the rotation route, to start at any rate. Otherwise we might end up with an endless string of rock and never touch on other genres. It also makes my job easier, and we spend more time listening and discussing, as opposed to voting. If members such as Justin don't want to choose albums, we can either have a poll on their turn or skip them. Is once a week too often for everyone? If so, I'll pick an album later today - that way everyone has plenty of time to listen over the weekend - and we'll proceed on that basis.

As for discussion, I won't expect a long review out of anyone but

Trollheart

. We can post a few things we liked, didn't like, found interesting, and discuss and debate. That will shake into place as time goes by.

Sounds good!

Most of my picks will probably be really obvious though, so bear with me if you've already heard them.

Here's the discussion thread. I've moved it over to the prog and psychedelic rock forum, because it will likely get more attention there. Don't let this limit your picks to only rock. If any mods are reading this, could you move this thread over too? And fix the title of the discussion thread to "The Strawberry" rather than "TheStrawberry"? Thanks.

You can add me to the list of members so far. I'm always up for listening to some new or old psych I may not have heard before.

Awesome!

You'll probably be familiar with this week's pick, though.

You are member number nine…. number nine… number nine… number nine…

Yes indeed! I just listened to that album for the umpteenth time 3 or 4 months ago.

And 9 is my lucky number so I'm cool with being member number 9.

Absolutely not! I'll add you to the bottom of the rotation.

Okay, sorry your going to have to take me off the list. I am adding too much on to my plate, and I don't want to burn out, as Trollheart once advised me. I am interested in listening to this genre, but I have other new stuff I am listening to, and it gets to be too much. Maybe another day I will join.

I understand, Justin. Your journal's going well, man. Feel free to drop in on a discussion if you fancy.

I've added you to the bottom of the list in the OP. Good to see ya around!

It's been a while.
