The BEA 1001 albums to listen to before you die!

Anonymous · 2013-06-27T23:50:53-04:00

I got the idea for this from another thread and the idea of prioritising the albums we listen to before we die I thought it would be great for us BEA users to come up with our own personal list of albums that we think the deserve to be listened to before you die. How I thought this could work, is that forum users post a maximum of 10 album that means the most to them, adding a little description of why there is such a strong personal connection and why it should be added to the list. I definitely want this to be about our personal favourite albums - albums that mean something to the individual user in a deep and personal sense. Nominations Users can nominate a maximum of 12 albums each that they want to write about. Multiple nominations for a single album is ok, meaning that if an album has already been nominated you can still go ahead and nominate the same album. For editorial reasons, we will have to limit the number of nominations to 4 per album. So please check the links below to see what has been nominated before adding your own nominations. Its favourite albums so if you want to add a compilation, classical, jazz or even Scandinavian death metal twee classic - then go for your life! The first round of nominations close 31st July. Descriptions In terms of your descriptions, can you please stick to the following rules: Minimum 450 words... maximum 500 words if you are the only one writing about the album! Minimum 150 words... maximum 200 words if you are one of a few writing about the album! Please include in your descriptions Album Name Artist Label Producer Year up to 3 Favourite Songs from the Album up to 2 'if you like this album, you might like x' further recommendation... This is additional to the description word count. Descriptions are to be created in google docs (it's really easy!). You then need to share that doc and send the link through to purple (ppnw). All descriptions have to be submitted no later than 30th September or they won't be included If you are having trouble with google docs then PM me and I'll help sort it out for you! Editorial/Layout Team For this to work, we will need volunteers to help design, layout and edit the book. So far the following people have put their name forward to help: purple (Assistant Edior in Chief) Lethalnezzle NoWaxJim MrFrogger EyeKanFly Norman Bates AlexZangari (Designer in Chief!) Defago Junodog Nutso42 This is a huge undertaking, so we definitely need more volunteers. So if you have a bit of spare time and would like to get involved, please PM me or make a note in the thread. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone with some design or artistic flair to help with the graphic layout! I'll keep updating this as the ideas develop. Ten albums....so choose carefully! :lol: -------- To see a list of all the albums we have so far, please check out the links below. The spreadsheet was last updated 9:45am 15th August Kiwi Time (up to post 505) so if you aren't there it's cause I haven't got round to updating again yet.

When listing producers, should we list all of them, no matter how large the list? MBDTF has quite the long list of producers.

3 different cover concepts and 3 different title concepts I mocked up whilst listening to In Ghost Colours, all with the same general colour scheme.

they're all kind of rough but the concept is there in each. I actually haven't read that many music based books so these concepts may have been used before.

Oh also I chose '999' arbitrarily because I think it looks cool.

Also have we talked about having to get Albummaster's permission to use the title/logo?

They're better than the ones suggested before. 3 has my preference, then 1 and 2. Good work.

The title can probably be decided once we know how many albums we have.
