Hey Everyone. Starting 1st January I’ll be attempting to lead you all a merry dance. I’ll only consider guesses that “join the dots” and trawling multi guess posts will be totally ignored. I will send a copy to the quickest sleuth to guess.

So the January Challenge Thread! The only rules are no dupes, it must spin and have fun! Accompanying stories are encouraged. Day 1: Happy New Year Raise a wee dram to see in the new year and pick a great album to accompany it. Day 2: Hangover I suppose technically the hangover was yesterday...

So it was my absolute pleasure to organise and compere year two! Yet another fantastic and eclectic mix of albums chosen by us using our “Impeccable Taste”™! In that spirit some of you love to go back over the year and review the wonderful albums that were picked and that we bought and listened...

Hey! So some madman put me in charge of one of these again! I think I just confused everyone last time with some random topics! That was all the way back in our old home in the apartment we outgrew above a Very Meaty Pizza Store. So there are no rules if you’re just having fun but I’m going to...

So following on from @dropsonde i found this NME issue from when they used to have a physical magazine and didn’t rate every album ever released at 4/5! Let’s see what the outcome is and hopefully it will have a better gender a balance than the last one, although sadly I’m not convinced that it...

Hey everyone! Can you believe it! The Forum is 1 year old and we have a full year of 13 (I know, I know) N&G AoTMs! So before we start just a few little ground rules. Please be sensitive, the people who picked these put a lot of time, effort and thought into their picks so a couple of things to...

Hi Everyone! After last years roaring success welcome to year 2 of the N&G AoTM's. A big round of applause for our outgoing coordinator @ChristoBee for getting the concept off the ground and organising this in year 1! Just to reiterate for all future pickers we only have one rule, we want to...

The Guardian did a list of these that was published today. While I don’t agree with all the choices/placings (does anyone ever really?) I think it’s a thoughtful and well considered list and great conversation starter. What do you all think...

A q for our beautiful staff. In light of the surreal turn of events this evening i just wanted to know. If i set up a thread can I delete it? One of the things i liked in the old place was that this type of revisionism wasn't allowed, i remember being happy that a member with a USSR attitude...

I couldn’t see a thread dedicated to the musical chameleon himself! I had to right this egregious oversight...

So I don’t know, maybe I’ve been thinking (drinking?) too much but something has been spinning around in my head the last couple of hours so I need to let it out... You might think this is mad but still I think I have a point. I love our staff, they’re all amazing people and we can’t thank...

A new home for one of the greats! I’ll kick off with the lyrics to what is possibly my all time favourite song! They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones 'Twas then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight And...
