So you think you are a good music listener?  You think you can tell an album from an avocado? You think you have listened to more music than your neighbour? Do you think you are the best music fanatic of them all or is that just me? Maybe... haha. 
Well... I have devised a bunch of achievements for you to unlock. Some of them you would have already achieved before today. Others man be out of reach right now. Regardless you will be judged by how many you have achieved and the one who has the most is obviously the greatest music listener amongst us. Lucky for you the author of this list is a user known for being unbiased, humble, modest and in general full of humility from head to t... oh wait hang on...  Well... good luck I suppose...
Please add more as this thread goes. I'm looking forward to other peoples contributions and I hope you like what has been wrote so far. This is a first attempt and I had quite a few ideas for others which may be added in future. 
Count all the ones you have unlocked:

Um, I like the idea, but I'd much rather have a list of achievements for which:
1) All achievements are possible.
2) All achievements are for things that we would actually want to do. Specifically none that require abstaining from listening to music or breaking the law.
Also a fortnight is two weeks

 I think this one made me laugh the hardest. Not only because it would basically make a bea member null and void but it would be impossible to do without living in a cave for a year.
I do agree that maybe if there were a few less of the impossible ones...

Awesome list - but what now?
Do we just list our achievements?
And can we invent new categories if we think they might be appropriate?

Only God could do this. By the way, does entire discographies include live and compilations? Because I'm not a fan of live albums. I don't like the MTV Unplugged series.
Entire Studio Discographies:
I Rode the Zep
All Zeppelin Albums
Alice's Impressed!
All Alice Cooper Albums, and that's a real achievement not only in the sense that he has 26 albums, but in the sense that half of them were bad and I got through them all!
Would? Did.
All AiC albums.
Now I have an achievement for everyone...
How big are your balls?
Get through at least ten AC/DC albums like I have.

Should we also have achievements for periods of time managed to spend away from BEA? 'Cause that's really hard.

Hey, I have unlocked relistening history!
Great thread anyway, some were hilarious.
What about making some linked to BEA? Like achievements concerning the rating of your chart, its ranking, its number of comments, your points number, your ranking, the number of times you've been quoted by someone, the number of threads you've started, an achievement for organizing a tournament, for being a mod, etc. there are really lots of new things to add here
