CLASSIC ROCK BOTTOM NOVEMBER MUSIC CHALLENGE (THE INAUGURAL VERSION)

Before reading further, ask yourself this simple question:

AM I UP TO IT?

If your answer is "yes", continue reading. If your answer is "no", continue reading anyway. You might change your mind.

It's quite simple, really.

For the inaugural version we have picked five categories and what you need to do is listen to the amount of albums listed in each category during the month of November. For those that complete this quest you'll be given the opportunity to pick a category for an upcoming challenge.

For those that originally answered "no", let's try that question again:

AM I UP TO IT?

Now I'm thinking that your answer is "yes". Maybe it's even "YES!"

For the first month, we're going to keep it simple:

NOVEMBER CHALLENGE*:

1) 4 albums released in the 1960's

2) 4 albums released in the 1970's

3) 4 albums released in the 1980's

4) 4 albums released in the 1990's

5) 4 albums released in the 2000's (2000-2009)

It doesn't make a difference what type of music you want to listen to. You want to listen to rap? Go ahead, we don't care!

You can keep everyone updated with the albums/decades you've listened to by posting them below. And yes, if you do complete the challenge, you can choose Zamfir** as one of your categories in an upcoming challenge. I mean, who DOESN'T want to listen to the master of the pan flute***?

Remember, this challenge starts in November****.

So...........

ARE YOU UP TO IT?

*Yes, Scott. You have to listen to 20 albums.

**Scott has all the Zamfir albums, so beware.

***Me

****No, Scott. You can't start early

What I learned from this challenge...

No plan of attack, I listened to whatever I wanted to in no order
I dont know who Madge is but I'm awful glad Fleetwood Mac was fighting and searching for her! Great tunes!
My 60's collection is sorely lacking
The 70's were unbelievalby great!
Most of 90's collection is Foo Fighters and STP
This Jon/RJ collaboration is getting out of hand!
Nobody is a better acoustic guitar player than Pete Townshend (Maybe Rik Emmett comes close but, just sayin')
I dont get why Jimmy Eat World and Anberlin dont play well on here, so good!!!
