I'm going to need to think about this for a long time. I'll attempt either later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Fuck, I think I'm gonna have to do this one album per artist only. Even then, it's nigh impossible. I'll think about it and post my list over the weekend.

Ivan made a thread of "ASR's Top Albums" a while ago. I'm making my candidates for this one now, though.

I think we should include The Beatles, but because we go through a process of elimination we'll actually end up with like a top 5 or 10 albums for ASR, and I'd be very surprised if that was all Beatles.

I'd like to voice an idea I have for doing this.

Okay, each person chooses their top 25 in order.

Looking something like this...

1) Album A
2) Album B
3) Album C
4) Album D
5) Album E
6) Album F

etc...

So then, the album gets points corresponding to it's position. Meaning that Album A gets 1 point, Album B gets 2, and so on. If two peple say Album C but they have it in different positions, let's say one person puts it as 4th and another puts it as 10th, then the album gets 14 points.

After all the scores have been taken, the albums with the least amount of points are the most favorite.

Of course, it can be backwards so that the favorite album gets 25 points and then it decreases, but I think it's less confusing with 1 point being your favorite album because it's like ranking.

Does anyone get what I just said?

Here's an example of what I mean... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_ra...ates_Presidents

Yea, but I couldn't do that. It's just too fucking hard enough narrowing it down to just 25.

24.Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch

You rule for putting this on here.


I reckon a much easier idea would be finding out what ASR's favourite album of each year was. Like everyone posts an album of the year list and at the end, we see which album got the top spot the most number of times in a year.

Good/bad idea?

Frankie, that wouldn't work.

You'd need to divide the total by the number of people who have voted for it for that to work correctly. Otherwise, an album that twenty people put as their first preference would score lower than an album that one person puts as their nineteenth preference.

I think it's fine the way I suggested it.
