My Favourite Album: Not really, no.
|
 On Sunday evening, at about 7:28pm, I was somewhat excited to be minutes away from watching ABC TV's "My Favourite Album" special (hosted by the lovely Myf Warhurst, left). A show which, after a few months of voting on the ABC website, was going to tell any Australian watching the show what our nations favourite albums of all time were.
A top 10 that consisted of men. A top 10 that only had 3 actual good albums in it. A top 100 that did not feature a single Madonna or Kylie Minogue album, but had Anthony Callea's first album in the early 30's. The whole list (a top 100, which you can read in absolute disgust by clicking here) is a sad display of how boring the nation is when it comes to buying music.
Which brings me to this: What is YOUR favourite POP album of all time? Do you have 10 of them? If you answered yes to that final question, then you're going to come in very handy for what IAR, and the writers/editors of QUITE A FEW OTHER BRILLIANT/ACE/FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC POP BLOGS have got heating up in the oven in time for the New Year.
What's going to happen is this: I want to know what your top 10 favourite albums are of all time. List your albums from 1 to 10, or, if you cannot decide your order of preference but DO have a list of ten, email them through to myfavouritepoprecord@gmail.com... The plan is to have voting close by Friday, January the 26th 2007. Then, within the first two weeks of February, once the top 20 has been compiled, I'll be contacting several pop lovers and pop bloggers (who've all agreed to be apart of this venture) to join me in a written-panel discussion about each of the top 20 pop albums of all time as voted by you.
Remember, email your top 10 through to: myfavouritepoprecord@gmail.com
Again, that's: myfavouritepoprecord@gmail.com
I'll be setting up a micro-site for this next week some time (it'll contain a few more details too), so just bare with me. Planning on setting that up once I know how many other pop bloggers will be joining in for the fun.
GET VOTING. Yay!
