Hopefully I get more people who post their top 5 GNR songs or at least discuss their thoughts on top 5s they see posted, rather than posts on how stupid my idea is. |

I've no interest in your idea, but just to show you I'm not just throwing destructive criticism and derision at you, here's what I think might work better. Maybe. Because I seriously doubt you will find enough people interested in ANY band, never mind Guns n Roses, to do what you propose.
Have anyone interested take an album (once one is gone it can't be selected again) and choose their favourite track from that. That way, you have a much more manageable task: listen to one album, how hard can that be? Also, you get away from the possibility of people all choosing the same five tracks. Then compile a best-of list from that. Just a suggestion: what you intend is highly unlikely to appeal to people here, most of whom work, study or mod, and many of whom have journals. I doubt anyone is going to have the time or interest to do what you ask. If I'm wrong and it takes off, so be it, fair play t'ya, but I wouldn't be laying any serious money down.

Good luck with your idea but all of the various album clubs we've had here don't last long even when people are asked to listen to just 1 album every week or every other week and comment on it. Unfortunately, outside of personal journals, there just doesn't seem to be enough interest here in the sort of thing you're proposing.

Perhaps I will just use this website to contribute to other discussions going around. Regarding my artist/band of the week, I may just have a link to a music blog in my signature, if that is within the rules of this website. That way people here can join if they want, but on my blog it will hopefully just be people who want to contribute rather than those who do not want to participate. I do not care if I get only 3-5 people who play along.

It is so annoying when I am compiling playlists for future bands of the week and Grooveshark has all but one or two songs. I know Youtube is an option but the commercials throughout an album are annoying. Spotify is another option, but I think some bands/artists do not allow their songs on Spotify. Any other main options I should consider for free streaming of entire albums of most bands?

One more issue with Grooveshark is playlists I created some time ago are now missing songs. I most definitely do not want to compile entire catalogs for many bands, just to have missing songs down the road.

I've noticed this problem with Grooveshark too. Very annoying. Spotify is probably the best but I usually go with a mixture of YT, Spotify and Groove that normally gets me what I need. Occasionally it doesn't of course. There's Daily Motion but that's pretty much the same as YouTube. I also use a website where you can buy albums for less than a dollar, if you're so interested. I guess there's Pandora, though we can't get that here in Ireland so I don't know how good or bad it is. People talk about Soulseek too.
