Long Way To Go...

So here we are, 71 posts into my blog, and I've only covered 992 ratings. Why so few, you may wonder? Am I lazy? (well, yeah, but not about this.) Do I procrastinate? (Let me get back to you on that.) Do I have a short atten... ooohh... shiny............

Sorry about that. Now where was I? Oh yeah. Do I have a short attention span? (Sometimes.) Actually, I'm anxious to display my results. I enjoy writing about them and sharing them. I even see some people are reading them (and hopefully enjoying them).

And that's what this is all about. I'm trying to do something both informative and fun. Sprinkled between the album ratings are some on-going posts that I like to write:

• Top Ten lists cover a range of topics such as ratings by year, country of band origin, genre, etc. I'll often include more than just the Top Ten albums in the list, and in the ratings by year posts, I actually list all the albums from that year (which means I'll eventually post all 2,200+ ratings.) So far, I posted album ratings from 2008 to 1987. I'll continue back to 1967, then probably write a single post for 1963 - 1966. The 2009 ratings will be posted soon after the year ends. I'll handle 2010 posts differently, probably as a single post with periodic updates.
• Discographies are self-explanatory. I've rated many band's complete studio discographies, and plan to post them all. The posts include the albums sorted by rating (highest to lowest), the year they were released, brief comments, trivia, or other interesting or noteworthy tidbits, and my favorite tracks.
• To Cry You A Song posts are compilation (audio) CDs based on a theme, band, year, genre, etc. This may already be an outdated concept given the proliferation of high-capacity MP3 players, but it's more fun (and more challenging) to limit myself to 80 minutes of music.
• Spotlight On features obscure (or less well-known) bands I like. I delve into the band's history and also list the albums and individual song ratings. Some of the albums are definitely worth owning if you're into that genre or style of music.

Additionally, I posted commentaries, thoughts, updates, a multi-part story, and even some word games. These posts all have one thing in common: the name of the post is always a song title. (Including this one... or did you notice that already?) I'll continue posting these at random.

As always, if there's anything you'd like to see, I take requests.
