To follow up on Kyle's suggestion that we pick a few CDs on our decade end list and discuss at our January CD club might I propose an alternative that also takes Kyle's best of the various decades discussion into account.

While drinking with Brian a few weeks back I had the idea that instead of simply playing tracks from albums, many of which all of us are very familiar with, we should have a battle of the decades in music.

Here`s the spin: each of us picks say our 10 or 20 favourite tracks from each decade, let`s say 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00`s. We submit our picks on this site prior to the night in question and by assigning some sort of weighted value to the ranked picks we come up with a shortlist of 10-20 tracks in total for each decade.

On the night we get together we match up decades in a pitched contest where we play 3 or 4 songs for each decade (eg 60s v 90s Verve vs. The Stones, etc) and eliminate based on a vote at the end of each round until one decade is left standing.

Yes it isn`t scientific and yes we already have built in biases (each and every one of us) but it has to be more fun than the end of the millenium cd club that disintegrated into something resembling the Bataan death march.

Your thoughts?

And remember we were rather drunk when this was discussed.
