People are jumping at the bit to vote it seems, so here's a whole thread to devote to "Official Voting." (morfe & PaulMakes, I got your lists from the other thread.) Here's the deal / "rules": 1. Post a list of your all-time favorite 25 albums. You can make more than one album tied for a position, just make sure there's ONLY 25 albums on your list. 2. IMPORTANT: PLEASE POST YOUR LISTS IN RESPONSE TO THE MAIN SUBJECT (in other words hit "reply" at the bottom of THIS post) -- if you post your lists 6 levels deep I may not see them, cuz I'm sure there will be lots of comments and chit chat. Lists go on the top level of the thread, got it? Thanks. 3. Albums can be CD's, EP's, LP's, cassettes, bootlegs, whatever, whenever in any genre. Just don't make stuff up like "my personal Morrisey Greatest Hits Mix Tape that I made is the greatest album of all time!" It kind of defeats the purpose. 4. Please don't stuff the ballot box by voting for 25 Julian Cope albums and nothing else, that sort of thing. ;-) 5. However you make your selections is up to you, but please take a few minutes to really think about your list. It will be a better list if we all really make an effort to get to the absolute cream of the cream, not just listing the first 25 things we like off the tops of our heads. YOUR VOTE COUNTS! How the Top 500 will be determined: Each album that gets mentioned on a list will receive "26 minus rank" points towards the master list (i.e., rank #1 = 25 points, rank #2 = 24 points, etc.) All voters' lists will be weighted equally. Final list will be tallied by adding up total points. Ties will be left as ties. The voting will be open until "after a couple weeks pass with no one posting any new lists." (Sometime in early 2004 most likely.) The more people who participate, the more interesting the final list will be! I will add it up and post the results, but if anyone else wants to keep track to make sure all is above-board, go ahead. It will be entirely based on your public posts here at the Unsung forum. |

Albums that just missed my top 25: The Who - Who's Next Bad Brains - Rock For Light Archie Shepp - Fire Music Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime Replacements - Let It Be Public Enemy - Nation of Millions And I couldn't bring myself to vote for James Brown "Star Time" because it's a 20 year retrospective. It's four 111% awesome CD's of the masterfunk, and if I (personally) thought it was fair to vote for career retrospective box sets it would probably be my pick for #1! However I think it kind of defeats the purpose of choosing "best albums" to choose a "complete recordings" comp. Just the same, don't let me stop you from voting for it if you want to. . . !

I swear I did think about this for a while, but somehow Funhouse ended up at 25.... I suppose because it's so ingrained in my head that I almost don't even need to listen to it anymore to hear it. Narrowing it down to 25 sure is a bitch, but I could be pretty happy with any of the ten on my list, although I don't know how I missed Tyranny and Mutation, the Michael Yonkers album, Faust, etc.....

Hey I'm psyched you put "Get Up With It" and "Bathing At Baxters" on there -- those are ones I might have picked on another day . . . or put them in my top 50 anyway. I don't think anyone can do this exercise without getting a little frustrated . . . :-)

No fair! You've got 26 items on your list -- two #18's. Do you want me to drop your #25, or do you want to drop another one?
