Reaching a milestone

Notice how close we are to 50,000 albums ...

Good work, everyone. The last 5K took nearly 2 years...

I'd love to have more contributors and be able to work a bit more hand-in-glove with a couple of people on (say) NWOBHM, metal, AOR and some bits of prog/power pop.

It's so much easier (albeit some risk that you 'know' what turns out to be wrong) to look at music you know and enjoy than trying to work out who's a member on an obscure jazz/punk/ska/poetry hybrid combo out of Ghent who released a single in 1981.

Don't know where we get them though...

I too would love to see more people contributing and I guess my musical taste is also what mrP just listed. Although I also love trying to link local bands, regardless of musical genre. So if there's a jazz/punk/ska/poetry hybrid combo out of Ghent I'm sure I would have added it by now :-)

I'm always ready to work on NWOBHM stuff. We need someone to jump on Metal Messiah so we can get Paralex in.

Well done.

Thanks guys. Hell are in!

Hi, it's been a while! I always wanted to turn my obsessions back to BandToBand when I found the time. I'm a big NWOBHM fan but at the moment I've just been going through some of the oldest queue additions and trying to verify them. Coming across some NWOBHM as I go of course.

Perfect timing. I just posted about Witchfinder General last night!

Haha, doubt I can help there. I'm sure they'll hold their band member island fortress for another decade or two, if not take it to the grave.

Looks like number 55,000 was this one:

And here's #60K:

It took less than a year to do the last 5K, about doubling our pace from the previous 5K. A lot of that is thanks to Bloopy!

#65K:

The last 5K took a bit over a year.

We just blew past 70K albums, didn't we? I think this was the one:

Took almost two years for the last 5K.
