i luh and h8 you all are still trying to convince each other.
The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!
- Thread starter Woob_woob
- Start date
Yeah, I don't think there should be a limit. If Bob Dylan recorded 10 of your top 50 favorite albums, then you should be able to include them all. Odds are that things will balance themselves out, e.g. there will be no Dylan on my list.
2.5 for 3, letās be friends!
My wife is always trying to figure out my ālove languageā and I didnāt donāt know what she meant until I heard you say āthere will be no Dylan on my listā
So far my biggest epiphany has been the fact that the albums I ranked near the top of my "Best of the 2010s" list are all changing positions when I try to rank them with my all-time favorites. As in: what I thought was my fifth- or sixth-favorite album of the 2010s is now ranking higher than albums #2-4.
I guess the moral here is: don't overthink your lists, because in a matter of months they will have become obsolete anyway.

I'm kidding PS, hope that was clearAlright maybe the guy has a point, so far I've already pledged to bump Animals up 10 spots to counteract Joe and now I have to overrate some Dylan to counteract @Tys1. How many more enemies will I make before we submit ballots?

You're allowed to post publicly even if its closed ballot. If it is closed ballot there will be a decent period of time where people can recommend albums or post their lists or whatever they want. Only difference between closed and open ballot afaic is the actual vote, one way its sent to me in private the other its posted for all to see. Talking about the albums is the best part and I promise there will be plenty of time for that regardless of votes
Voting results will be released Monday and then we will probably go a month where people can vote (either public or private) during that month i want us all to talk about all the great albums out there. Post your full list, post a partial, post an unorganized list of what you're thinking, post about one album you really love and want others to know about. After that month I'll start releasing results slowly over the next week or so.

Iām team share your lists but just after the master list is revealed. Iām hoping to find the time to do it no matter which way we end up doing it though! Itāll still be fun!Oh yeah I wasnt necessarily disagreeing with posting atter the master list (even if I'd prefer doing it before but that's whatever) but more not posting at all. I guess I was under the impression some were arguing for not sharing the lists publicly at all but I could be wrong about that
Reading comprehension is important, kids, don't be like me
Also cool. If it ends up being private people can make their personal list public whenever they feel like it or not at all.

Yeah, I agree, 5 max would be a good compromise.

While I don't think I'd have more than 5 per one artist (Dylan and the Beatles are the only ones close), I'd be opposed to any such restriction.

Already having fun with this. I'm possibly a little guilty of listening to the same old stuff, and it's been good revisiting old favourites. So much to listen to, so little time...

I already put together a quick list and it turned out to be 99 records (yes, I have a few multiples from the same artists since this seems to be what you all want).... so pretty much already there, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
I definitely want a list of 100 and not 50. I think those 51-100 positions are where surprising and possibly controversial picks may come through, especially if we keep a final top 500 aggregate. That's what I'm most interested in seeing as opposed to all the usual suspects.
