Default Artist/Band of the Week, Week 2: Cage The Elephant

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Please join me in my "artist/band of the week" project. My plan is to nominate one artist/band early Sunday of every week. During the week, anyone who wants to participate with me can listen to all of their albums (studio, EPs, live). Regarding greatest hits albums, I plan to list only songs that are different versions than the originals and songs not released on other albums. At first I was torn if live albums should be included, but I decided to keep them as they help to provide a full spectrum of the band/artist and their strengths/weaknesses.

If time allows, I suggest listening to each song at least twice. The goal by the end of the week is to select your favorite five songs. If you know the artist/band well enough to likely identify your top five right away, I still encourage you to listen to the songs before submitting your list.

Of course, the more people who participate, the more interesting this project will become. It will also be nice to use these lists to initiate some discussions. Even if there are disagreements, it should be fun seeing different perspectives.

My ultimate goal is to eventually have my top five favorite songs for each of my favorite 1000 bands. With this being said, I do not plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Hopefully I will get some people who will join me throughout, and even for bands they may not be a fan of. Even for artists I dislike, I know I can still usually identify their best music.

If you miss the timeline for any specific bands but you still want to participate, feel free to add your favorite five songs whenever you are able.

I will create a playlist for each band under my Spotify account. Of course, Spotify is free, but will play a 30 second commercial every 5 songs. To find me, search spotify:user:joenorwood77

I suggest not getting too caught up putting your top five in order. I consider it an accomplishment in itself narrowing down to five songs per band. You can rank your top five if you prefer. However, I will list mine in alphabetical order instead.

WEEK 2 ARTIST/BAND OF THE WEEK
Cage The Elephant

My top five favorites are:
Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked
Back Against The Wall
Cigarette Daydreams
Shake Me Down
Telescope

Thank you for reading and I look forward to seeing your top five! Good luck and enjoy!

I suggest you do all this in one thread rather than starting lots of threads for bands who already have existing threads.

Maybe you should make a journal?

Already suggested that. I think that would definitely be the best way to go. Or ask the mods to change the title of your original thread, as Batty does with the "Metal Survivor" thread...

I will compile the top 1000 bands, along with week 1 and 2 artists of the week into a journal thread. Is there a way then, to have this thread deleted?

The mods will happily merge the two threads in to your journal if you want. But you need to get to posting more, you need 100 posts to open a journal.

You can do it man!

Glad you decided to take advice Trollheart and I gave you, and stayed. Other's encouraged you stayed too. So make it count.

No need to merge threads. I already have my journal up and running.
