How about running it like the WWYD threads? Anyone who is interested submits a suggested album, critique (copied from Wikipaedia et al if you like) and album cover to Dave. He selects the most interesting one (to him obviously, I appreciate that not reveryone likes/undestand Camembert Electrique - Gong) and posts it. But maybe call it Classic Albums to widen the appeal. Why not try "Songs for Swinging Lovers" or even "Four Last Songs" by Richard Strauss. I would love to see interpretations of "Frühling"

In dusky valleys
I dreamt long
of your trees and blue skies,
of your scent and birdsong.

Now you appear
in all your finery,
shining brilliantly
like a miracle before me.

You recognize me,
you tenderly embrace me;
all my limbs tremble at
your glorious presence!

If it works for WWYD it could work here, and be a lot less work for Dave apart from posting the occasional "The lists getting short give me some albums"
