brandy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So I was thinking of holding a voting for the board's favourite albums starting from A to Z, where members come in and post their favourite albums starting with the letter A, all the way to Z.I will make a post announcing that voting is on for a letter (for instance the letter A), and members come in and post their favourite album starting with the letter A (for instance Abbey Road by the Beatles).Of course, feel free to also include short descriptions of why you picked that album, and also which albums came close to being picked.After 48 hours of voting, I will compile all the votes and see which one comes out on top.Results:A: American Football - American FootballB: The Bends - RadioheadC: Clarity - Jimmy Eat WorldD: Damaged - Black FlagE: Everything Sucks - The DescendentsF: F♯ A♯ ∞ - Godspeed You! Black EmperorG: Goddamnit - Alkaline TrioH: Hello Bastards - LifetimeI: In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk HotelJ: Jane Doe - ConvergeK: Kid A - RadioheadL: London Calling - The ClashM: Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - Smashing PumpkinsN: Nevermind - NirvanaO: OK Computer - RadioheadP: Pneuma - Moving MountainsQ: The Queen Is Dead - The SmithsR: Reinventing Axl Rose - Against Me!S: Sgt. Peppers And The Lonely Hearts Club Band - The BeatlesT: Tell All Your Friends - Taking Back SundayU: Unknown Pleasures - Joy DivisionV: The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet UndergroundW: Weezer - WeezerX: XO - Elliott SmithY: You Fail Me - ConvergeZ: Zen Arcade - Husker Du Numbers/Symbols: () - Sigur Ros Soundtracks/Compilations: The Brave Little Toaster Live Album: Unplugged In New York - NirvanaBand Compilations: Complete Discography - Minor ThreatRules:- ONE VOTE PER PERSON. vote for your favourite album starting with the letter we are voting on for the day!- only full length albums. no compilations, no EPs, no singles and no live albums allowed.- only official album names allowed (eg. no 'black album', 'blue album' etc)- there will be 29 rounds of voting, one for each letter, another one for albums starting with numbers, and 2 more for live albums and compilations/soundtracks. I'll change the topic title to include which letter is being voted on for the day.- for albums starting with 'The' (eg. PBTT's The Lack Long After) and 'A', the first letter of the second word will be considered instead. So in this case, for The Lack Long After, it should be voted for during letter L.- please do NOT create multiple accounts just to vote for an album you like.- voting begins for a specific letter only after I make a post which specifies so.- each letter will have a 48 hour voting time slot- all votes after the time-slots are over will not be considered.- in the case of a tie, a revote (for 24 hours) ensues in which voters can only vote for the albums tied for top spot. if after the 24 hour revote, there is still a tie, the NEXT one random vote decides the winner. 213041284s, The Saint and paynegretzky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm always down to discuss music. That's what these threads are all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynegretzky Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I am also down for this. You could consider the top 3 or even 5. Maybe the top album gets a few a well written description by one of the voters, or maybe take a few voter descriptions? Also tie breakers could just go into another, shorter round of voting, where people that voted for other records can choose between the 2?

omik11303 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah I'll definitely do this. Sounds sweet. It's not like it's hard for people to come on here and post an album that starts with a given letter, so you'll probably get tons of participants.

Satan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 just my two cents - this thread could turn into a complete fucking shit show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold another round of voting where people can just vote between the 2. On considering the top 3 or top 5, what do you guys think? I personally prefer having just one outright winner. But if most people would want a top 3 or 5, then so be it! Thanks for the suggestions so far. As Alkaline Trio said, keep em coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 just my two cents - this thread could turn into a complete fucking shit show. I agree it might. But all in all, it's still just the internet and might be fun to watch heheh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have a few questions for you guys: - Do you guys think 24 hours is enough for voting? Or should it be 48 hours? - Would you prefer one outright winner, a top 3, or top 5? - Compilations. Allowed or not? I would think no. (Therefore, Alkaline Trio's self titled for instance, would not be eligible to vote for in the 'A' category) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Tea Papi Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is going to turn into a circle jerk, of over hyped bands and I love it, but I think there should also be a music sample and if users enjoyed the music sample they upvote the post most up upvotes wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People might be more tempted to create new accounts because they can both upvote AND downvote posts.And also, there will be debate as to which song should be used for the sample, for the "overhyped" albums especially. I just think it has the potential to cause more problems/complications after much thought. But thanks for the suggestion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not to mention, I don't see the necessity in having a sample. Since we're talking about greatest albums ever, I'm willing to bet most people have heard them. brandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I haven't seen any suggestions in a while. So unless there's something else, I'll start this at 12 midnight EST (in about 9 hours time). Also, no one posted any suggestions about the 24 hour or 48 hour time-slot for voting so I'll just set it at 24 hours. And there will be just one outright winner I guess, which will be determined by the most amount of votes. In the case of a tie-breaker, a revote will ensue, in which voters can only vote for the albums tied for top spot. Hopefully more people participate so this will turn into something fun!

brandy Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 So how will suggesting an album to vote on go? For example, for the letter A, just post the album starting with the letter A. Say your favorite one is answer that and stay fashionable, by AFI. Just post that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 What about all of those great albums that start with a number? Right on, overlooked that! We could either make it such that there is a separate voting category for albums starting with numbers/symbols. Or we could just make it such that '1' would be under 'o', and '2' would be under 't' etc. I would prefer the latter though. What do you all think?

The Saint Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I just thought of it because I'm looking through my library on my phone and after Z is # so we could just have a category like that that covers all albums that start with a number. I gotta get my vote in for 'The 1975.' I think it should only go under the category of the letter if it is written as such. I'd rather do that than put 'The 1975' under N. But whatever works.

Your idea could work too, and I think there'll be other people with similar sentiments to you as well. I'll update the OP with that when voting commences. I'm dead tired and hitting the sack for now.

Green Tea Papi Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 And if the album begins with The or A, do those get over looked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
