Day 28 - Monopoly - Play a record by a band or artist that you think is the very best of their genre

The best art/prog rock band imo.



And this...
"One version to rule them all!" Or something.

Day 28 1/2 - Free Parking - Play anything from your collection, tell us why you chose it

John Grant - Boy from Michigan

I chose this because @Kris was kind enough to PIF it, and I had only spun it once so far.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Day 28: Monopoly

The only band that mattered.

The Clash - London Calling

 

[LeSamourai]

Day 28 - Monopoly - Play a record by a band or artist that you think is the very best of their genre

Portishead - Roseland NYC Live

When it comes to trip hop with vocals, nobody does, or did, it better.




Thanks to @ranbalam for a month of fun and games!

Thanks for a great month @ranbalam!

Day 28 1/2: Free Parking

Fleet Foxes - Shore

I've been learning a couple songs from this album over the last few days, so I figure I should brush up on how they actually go.

Thanks for running an awesome challenge, @ranbalam!

Day 28 1/2 - Free Parking
Patricia Wolf – I'll Look For You In Others



Wife and baby have nodded off not too far from the record player so the field of playable records has been narrowed down quite a bit. This one is a very recent pick-up thanks to a @Rip_City recommendation and is both too far away in my current collection playthrough and exactly right for the sleep situation down here (it's also part of the playlist that the 4-year-old went to be to upstairs!) I absolutely love this record.

 

[avecigrec]

Super fun challenge, thanks @ranbalam! I absolutely loved the theme for the month and hope we get to do a round 2 someday - there certainly is no shortage of available games. Thanks for adding such good listening times to my birth month!

[rightasra1n]

Day 28 1/2 - Free Parking - Play anything from your collection, tell us why you chose it

Sade - Love Deluxe

My personal favorite of their albums. Was very tempted to post it back on Day 16, but I went another direction.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 27: Sorry
Don't apologize! Play something that you like that isn't well liked.

Father John Misty - Fear Fun

Sorry but FJM is a very talented songwriter who is oft maligned because his critics can’t get past his persona.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 28: Monopoly
Play a record by a band or artist that you think is the very best of their genre

Pavement - Wowee Zowee

Pavement does a certain type of learned slacker Lo-Fi Indie Rock better than anybody.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 28 1/2: Free Parking
Play anything from your collection, tell us why you chose it

At The Drive-In - In/Casino/Out

I went with this because it was raining and gloomy and. I wanted to put on something high energy to get me going a bit. Also I haven’t listened to this on a while and it’s a good one.



Thanks for running February’s challenge @ranbalam . The game theme has been a good time. You put on an excellent challenge!

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

@gaporter should have a March challenge for us to dive into tomorrow. Can’t wait!
