The BBC reports on a new trend amongst music lovers for sitting down on big sofas and armchairs, putting a whole album on to the turntable and listening. In silence. No talking. No going to the toilet. No phones. No tweeting.
Lights down and a pint to hand, appreciating the nuances of Ziggy Stardust or Dark Side of the Moon or the first Stone Roses album.
The idea comes from a sense that the pick n mix approach to music means that your daily soundtrack becomes an endless stream of random tunes thrown up by the shuffle button or a background noise while you update your facebook status, chat to your mates in the bar and check the footie scores. Down with music as part of your multi-tasking day!
So, if you were to join the Harringay Classic Album Appreciation Society, what would you pop on the turntable first?
For me, I think I'd start with The Beatles Revolver, but where would we go from there...over to you.

NO! The moment of silence between sides is all part of the experience (apparently).
We've got enough suggestions here to last months. Now we just need a room with sofas/armchairs, a supply of beer and a turntable. Anyone?
