Are you a nuisance to your friends and family because you constantly annoy them with useless music trivia? Do you reference song lyrics incessantly in conversation? Here's your chance to bond with like-minded individuals. This meetup is essentially like a book club - except we'll discuss classic albums instead of books. What determines a classic album? Well, I wrote a book a few years ago in which I aggregated more than 150 best-of lists to create a "top 100 albums of all time" list. You can see that list here:
Each time this group would gather, we would dissect one of these albums. Do you like it or dislike it? What significance has it had (or not had) on music? Is this album overrated or undervalued? You get the idea.
For December, we will discuss Carole King's 'Tapestry.' You can read more about the album here: http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/1971/06/carole-kings-tapestry-hit-1-june-19-1971.html
How do we pick which albums? They come from this list of the top 100 albums of all time" list at Dave's Music Database: http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/03/top-100-albums-of-all-time.html
For January, we will discuss Paul Simon's 'Graceland.' You can read more about the album here: http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/08/paul-simon-released-graceland-august-12.html
