The Review Board

The Review Board is where classic rock is investigated over time — not judged after one spin.

I’m listening to the complete catalogs of 29 artists: 329 albums, three intentional listens each, nearly 1,000 listens in all.

Every album goes through the same process. Opinions change. Forgotten records come back to life. Famous albums sometimes fall. Albums I barely knew sometimes rise.

The goal is simple: when it’s all over, I’ll know my Top Ten bands based on the catalogs themselves — not reputation, nostalgia or greatest hits.

Along the way, I’m documenting the surprises, memories, disagreements and discoveries that come from actually giving the music time.

29 Artists. 329 Albums. 987 Listens. One Top Ten.
