Submitted Band of the Week

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   M@X,
There have been a few posts by members who have come across an obscure band - or not so obscure band - that is not listed in the Archives, and they are keen for others to check out the music. Therefore would it be possible to have an area on the site where, if a member uploads just *one* MP3, you would post it for, say, one week under the title "Submitted Band of the Week" or something similar?
That way, if e.g. mandrake tells us that he has come across an LP of a Russian prog band SEZON DOJDEI - "The Return" from 1992 and thinks the music is fantastic, he could upload one MP3 from the album via the facility on the Home Page, and you would post it in the dedicated location in the Archives for one week so that we could check it out.
By limiting it to only one MP3, I think this would be in accord with the current ProgArchives model (try a limited amount before you buy?). And of course you would be the final arbiter on whether an MP3 is worth posting.
What do you think? Just a suggestion.
Thanks.

	Max, I like that idea. I wouldn't mind having you share some of what I sent and see what the collective thinks.
