Bring it on! One of my thoughts is we might want to do member picks occasionally. Not that I have any ideas for an album... But someone more learned in prog. Maybe you should open with an album that you think is not well known anteater?

Or maybe we could have open nominations and votes for albums and throw a random in every other one or something? Or after nominations are in, random is on the ballot and can still win the vote.

That would be a good idea too. Maybe we could alternate how we "pick" the album from week to week to keep things fresh? Before Troll started picking albums from those really bleh lists, the club was open forum and people took turns picking the weekly album to review.

So here's what I'll do: I'll randomly pick an album from my list tomorrow and present it here. Everyone can try reviewing it. Afterwards though, lets have an open forum and give everyone else an opportunity to decide what they want to review. :)

Sounds good to me, thanks for keeping things moving. Didn't realize Trollheart was going to be gone.

I am very down to get involved in this thread, will be checking regularly

After using a random number generator, I ended up with 113 from my list. And the album that occupies that spot is, interestingly enough-


Some people would argue this was Megadeth's last "really good" album, albeit the beginning of their attempts to commercialize their sound. Probably their most diverse set of good songs though, plus there's some progressive touches here and there throughout all these songs (I suppose Fates Warning and Iron Maiden had rubbed off a bit on them for this particular album) and enough "thought provoking" lyrical material to qualify it for this club, so lets jump on in! :drummer:

Sounds great Anteater and you're certainly the man to run this and I can hardly complain about using your own list, as I did vote you as having the best music taste on the forum;)

Are we still using the Sunday deadline here?

It would be a tie between me and Lee as far as diversity goes. Though honestly, you know your rock and metal so well that I'd say you qualify for best overall taste more than I do. ;)

But yeah, we'll stick with Sunday. :D

But your tastes are more eclectic than mine and certainly far more modern.

Megadeth is prog? Sweet! Im on it.
