I am working on a personal music project where I am coming up with my favorite 1000 artists/bands. Along with that list, each week I am featuring an artist/band of the week. Each week I listen to the entire discography of the artist/band at least twice.
I am inviting forum members to join me in this project. Please feel free to listen to the discographies every week, then post your favorite five songs.
I will create a playlist for each band under my Spotify account. Of course, Spotify is free, but will play a 30 second commercial every 5 songs. To find me, search spotify:user:joenorwood77
Even if you miss the timeline for a specific artist/band, you can post your top five whenever.
Here is my top 1000 artists/bands. I will continue to edit this list as I add/remove artists/bands.
