My name is Robert Rouse, I am a blogger at Left of Centrist.  I started the Blogger Album Project to discover how diverse - or collective - the Blogosphere is when it comes to taste in music.  So far, the choices are interesting - to say the least!  Many great albums - most I have owned - some I have never heard of, but will check out because of this list.

If you have not submitted your choices, drop me an email (click HERE), send a list of your seven favorite albums (those are like large black compact discs to those of you who do not remember turntables before scratching), along with a link to your blog.  I am hoping we can eventually have more than 1000 selections - the current total stands at 378 Album choices.

Selections with yellow backgrounds have also been in my personal collection.

To Contact me, click HERE.

I've added a discussion board for the project.  Check it out!
