Yep. It was a long time ago, back when I first joined, and it wasn't regularly updated. It was still a great way to find lost classics and underappreciated bands, though.

EDIT - I can think of several other people who should participate in this... (I volunteer Sean for one... LOLHe has enough reviews as it is, he can start recommending now)

Once upon a time there was a "featured album" spot on the front page. I discovered Circus and Comus throught it, and I'm sure I wasn't alone in this either.

Does anyone else remember it? And indeed where it went?

Good ideas here, HT. We can make a small two-three member team that will be in charge of this and decide each time what they will publish.

I volunteer.
Who wants in?

All this of course is dependent on it being possible do have it on the main page.

    I do like this idea. Perhaps it could just be a featured artist, with no specific time frame (day, month, week). That would take some pressure off. We could even do themes, such as genres, classics, new, forgotten, etc. However, I think the emphasis should be on lesser known items.

good idea.
Anywaym if no one will join, I will do just that. Mingle as much as possible, so as to get the widest range of styles reflected.

I am willing to do such as thing, but not on a daily basis. Maybe 1-3 times a week, depending on my schedule.
This would be essentially taking my I Recommend Thread and doing something similar but in another format.

Tony, if you think this is feasible, let me know.

Its a good idea in theory but rather a lot of work for someone to do an editorial every day.
Beside we hgave the recommendation forum and,of course, Erik's very nice Symphonic Prog appreciation thread.


Not an idea to be dismissed lightly though...

i was thinking sometimes have trouble hearing about bands that kinda get left out in the cold there realy good bands every one knows about dream theater gennisis pink floyd ect. if there was something that reccomended a band that no so many people have heard about on like the home page or something more people would be more so inclined to check out new bands well just a thoughtSmile
