View Full Version : Albums Countdown Redux?
Not gonna write a novel here as everyone knows the deal already, just gauging interest as i'd love to do it personally. How many of you are interested in a redone Albums Countdown? If there's not much interest then this thread can just die, think it could be good though if enough of us take part. Just post if you're interested in sending one then we can discuss rules (don't really think there should be many rules) and amount of albums per list and whatever.
Note: Accepting lists of either 50 or 25, whichever is manageable. You can start sending them to me whenever you like haven't set a deadline yet however.
Please put the artist first on your lists, thanks.
The deadline is Saturday August 11th at 11.59 GMT

Interested!
OK so this is the over-analytical side of me coming through, but when you say "new" do you mean a new list of albums? or a new album (only new albums, say in the last decade) list? lol. SORRY!!!!
:o
I'd be game!

I would just copy my list for the last countdown, since I haven't listened to anything new.

New as in second Countdown. Pick Albums from whenever you want.

There could be a choice between 50 and 25 though as we were discussing in the Shoutbox in case you'd want to extend it.
Actually, Yoda could you please rename this "Albums Countdown Redux?". Just in case anyway thinks the same as ynwtf and avoids this thread as a result. Thanks.

I take it EPs and Singles are out, but what about Compilation albums?
I have no objection if no one else does. Don't want to restrict this, at the same time though i don't want to make it too broad as it could be very difficult to get any sort of consensus to actually put a Countdown together.
I'm just the compiler and presenter i'm not gonna set the rules myself everyone can have an equal say in them. Will only step in if a decision has to be made to move forward.

smart ass ;)
my only rule consideration might be to draw a distinction between personal favorite albums (even if not historically significant) and historically good albums (even if not a personal favorite). I remember reading comments where users might have listed differently had they approached it one way or another in other lists.
Just something to help get the ball rolling.

But yeah, if Compilations will be permitted, I will flood you all with Shidaiqu.

There can't really be a rule for that can there? Think each individual needs to make that distinction themselves. I don't mind whichever people go for but personally i'll be going for favourites, don't give a crap if something is historically significant if i never want to listen to it.

Was considering a Live Album myself so i'm cool with it.
What's peoples opinions on 25 or 50 per list? Keep in mind if we go for 50 i'll still accept lists of 25, just means those that want a bit more can have it.

Just putting this out there, but if you ever log in and see a name like "militant otter" or some variation of those keyword topics, it's probably just me. One, I think I need to change my name to something furry to better match Chypmunk and Cat. Two, the militant type would be camouflaged.

I've only heard bits and pieces of Shooter's music, as I've been on the cautious side and avoided most of his music for the reason you mentioned. Bluegrass is great... but what exactly keeps you away from country? It's a massive genre that has to have something for everybody tucked away waiting for prying eyes (ears).
I really have to give Country a proper shot myself, will probably listen to some of your list jj. Not for the Countdown though, going for things that are already established favourites.

I grew up with country, so I've had no problems adjusting to it when I went back at it. However, I get how it can be a hard genre for folks who didn't grow up with it or are not from the States.

I just don't listen to music much anymore. I like the old outlaw country, but I don't listen to much of anything that isn't some form of talking. Then again, I never thought of the Eagles as country but I get the feeling most do.

Was thinking about the 25 or 50 issue since i think it's the main roadblock to people starting to send lists. If you want to send 50 then go ahead but in the end i may only use your top 25 because if we go for 50 the minimum to make the Countdown has to be extended to at least 50 points and on at least two lists, if most send lists of 25 that's going to be almost impossible to achieve with the maximum amount of lists i think we could get. So it really depends on how many would be willing to send 50.

I never understood that southerners hate Jews stereotype, because southerners are big fans of Jews because of the Bible talking about being down with Israel. At least all the ones I know.

As a person living in the south, that Jew hating stereotype doesn't make a whole lot of since. I've seen/heard way more racist stuff directed toward everybody except Jews. Maybe Neo-Nazis are more of a south eastern thing.

Stereotypes often don't make sense, they usually have some truth to them but not always. Pretty sure most Americans think i where a Kilt every day, eat haggis for breakast dinner and desert in between bagpiping sessions and that's only like 92% accurate.

There was a Scottish dude who was recruited to play soccer at the college I went to the last couple years. He did a presentation on Scotland in our Oral Communication class. He pretty much said the same thing. I was disappointed that his accent wasn't stronger.

Do you know where in Scotland he was from? I'm from Glasgow, it's not that my accent is stronger than other Scots but i've been brought up using slang constantly and it's a hard habit to kick plus i talk fast so i'm pretty incomprehensible haha.

I don't remember what part of Scotland he is from, but I don't think it was Glasgow. I feel like it was from a middle-sized Scottish city. My geographical knowledge of Scotland ain't worth a dime, so no amount hints would help.

And you all have something in common. You are terribly wrong. You xenophobic bastard. 😁 You've never experienced the hip hop hating environment that was big when I was shaping my musical taste. If you experienced the same, you'd know the "I was brought up to hate hip hop" was a common catch phrase to show your contempt for hip hop.
Sorry about your traumatic upbringing, Minio. I chose my music myself, and sometimes I wish it wasn't so. Truth be told, I'm really proud I was already into Mozart, Bach, Strauss and other classical music greats at such early age, but at the same time I'm ashamed of loving so many shameful bands and musical acts. I lost so much time listening to crap, while I could have been listening to legit music from the very beginning. But that only makes my road to enlightenment more valuable.
Statistically, the users on this forum are not seriously into music. I calculated that roughly 89,6% of users here have only a rudimentary knowledge of music's sonic artform. Compared to musical knowledge, that's almost three times as bad! As you can see my scientific, statistical analysis proves that users here know nothing. About anything. Really. My only fault is I don't know Poe's law.
I always assumed you were an international, little did I know you had a stereotypical Southern U.S. upbringing Oh, I'm a cosmopolitan at heart. And don't think I'm racist. I hate all hip hop - no matter the country.

Bro, every person where I'm from that is about a generation in front of mine almost exclusively hate hip hop... for, um, probably racial issues. Maybe, I don't want to perpetuate southern stereotypes, but sometimes you catch those vibes. You travel further east from me and hip hop was pretty big in the 90's... like Houston and Atlanta, but not where I lived.

3. Ordering will be hard. Why do you ask me to choose between my children? :(
1. Should I limit myself to only one album per artist? This should allow for more diversity.
I'm planning on doing that. Maybe not exactly actually, may go for a solo album for a band member or two but otherwise i'm going for fifty different. Think this Countdown would work out best if there was a good mix of members sending lists with as many artists as possible while other members send lists with several by various artists.

Okay, Scarlet makes 15 interested. Added a note in the first post about accepting top 50 lists as i don't want someone sending a top 25 when they would have been willing to do 50. Again if 25 is more manageable for anyone that's fine.

I'm fine with Soundtracks but i think we should leave Compilations out, think it'd be too similar to an Artist Countdown if we ended up with a bunch of best of's rather than actual music which was made as a single cohesive product. All i'd say is they have to have had a proper release and be generally defined as an Album in most places.

Does it have to be 25 or 50? Can I send a list that's somewhere in between?
Also totally not limiting myself to one per artist.

If I didn't limit myeslf to one per artist, Camo would be getting a list of 250. :lol:

Sure, but i may only end up using your 25 depending on what most send me. Because 50 extends the minimum to make the Countdown to 50 Points and at least two lists and if most sends 25 i don't think that's doable. If we do go for 50 though and you send say 35 i'll still give your #1 50 points, etc.

If I limited myself to one per artist, it'd be like five albums.

Genuine question - why does it have to extend the minimum points requirement if lists of 50 are allowed? An album would still need to be on two or more lists to make the countdown.

Oh yeah, i was originally planning on giving 25 lists 25 points for their #1, but i'm a big softy for MV who has psychologically manipulated me somehow so i said i'd give her #1 50 points. I'll just do that for all of them and it doesn't matter what anyone sends, thanks for making me think haha.
I was always kinda annoyed in other Countdowns when people only sent lists of 10 or whatever (apparently a single entry on one of Iro's lists) so i was planning on equating the points with the amount sent in, but this works better for everyone despite my problems with it.

But yeah doesn't matter now but my point was a #1 on a 50 list would get 50 points so that would have gotten more than any entry on a 25 list if i was giving 25 points to a #1, two #1's would equal one in that case obv. If most were 25's in that case i'm doubtful we'd have gotten enough with 50 Points on 2 Lists to make the Countdown.

I'll probably have a list to you in the next day or two. Ordering these is going to be a bitch though as I almost never listen to albums, just songs on shuffle.

****. My list is at 59. Must have decided to screw counting as I went along. :lol:

I just started listing artists and decided to pick my favourite albums from them when i'd decided on the fifty, on my first count i was at 58 :coleman:
Have now cut them down to 50 and picked an album from them all but not even sure how to begin ranking them.
so much for the "so much for rules" approach!

Discipline yourself, cat! I had to narrow my video game list way down for that countdown! You think everything is just a feather on a string?? Either scratch over the litter or get out of the box.

:rotfl: Camo I did the same thing! For the first 5 I jotted down, I wrote down which album and then thought to worry about artists first, then sort out which album was my fav.
Just got jot-happy on a note pad and lost track of the pages. Decided to count up now to see how many spaces I had left. Noooo gotta CUT!

Wasn't my fault all you squares wanted to start writing up a johnny law book, i just go with the flow.

Man, your clearly gentle but hostile seeming playfulness with Cat will never fail to kill me, especially since she rarely responds :laugh:
I says barely responds making her seem all calm like... *Cat flips over a table*
Well then.
Aside from the obvious ****-starters *cough* above---cat---*cough*, I think this thread is pretty supportive over all!
List sent! I tried to balance out my list with old favorites, new delights, and immortal classics. And maybe one or two unorthodox choices just to stir people up. :D
Can't wait for the countdown to start so I can see what everyone else picked. :)

So I'm looking at a list of 50 albums but there are only 30 artists on it and some of them are solo artists from bands already represented. Plus a couple that are there as solo artists and as members of two different bands/duos each. :laugh:

I can help you compile the list; there are a few favorites of mine that I think will need some extra points. ;)

Yep thanks mate :up:
Stuffs looking good so far. There's albums on both Gatsby and Scarlet's list i'll likely vote for and i think there's overlap between their lists, haven't started compiling yet. Would be awesome if we got a 100 Countdown. It's always going to be pretty mainstream but the further the go the less it'll seem so anyway.
Mainstream isn't supposed to be derogatory ftr everyone vote for what they want, copy and paste the Rolling Stone top 50 for all i care. Just saying i understand some with more unique taste being a bit disappointed when theirs doesn't get much representation.

I'm currently down to 68 artists, think I might start thinking about a different genre now :D

Also there is at least one of my top ten favorite artists that is not represented on this list at all. :laugh:
I might change that though. That feels wrong.

That has happened to mine, too. :lol: Thought I'd have plenty space.

30 Artists in 50 Albums is actually way more diverse than i expected from you. I know you have your absolute favourites and you like most of the stuff they did. That's a solid split. Plus it'd be perfect if we got a mix of lists with as many artists as possible and lists with a small amount so both of them can connect.

68 Boyzone Cover Bands released Albums? Jesus.
This has got to be the most active thread in months here. Yoda should pay me in one 1 week bans of my choice by page my threads reach.

Huh.
I never knew Rob Schneider could look so intimidating as Elvis. Go figure!
God how did i miss the poo-flinger comment. That's such a great insult cuz saying poo makes it sound juvenile and akin to a kid calling you a poo head or something but poo-flinging implies something much more nasty and insulting, bravo.

I refuse to up-vote this comment as you are complimenting the enemy. But I mean no disrespect to you. It was a good comment. Just, I have to stick to my principles in this matter. I hope you understand.
Also, I think it's well past time that Iroquois shows up and joins in the warm hostilities of this great thread.

Couldn't be more disappointed and ashamed of you. Today you've both said "I will not tolerate these negative attitudes in my thread", and expressed your disapproval with a pathetic "oh hell no". What sort of Iro stands before me? You may as well give up and go get happily married like former resident grump Holden Pike.
I already got across all the hostility i needed to in the other post I made.
But was it warm hostility? Like the kind on display here? Or... in a lake? With children or UTI cats nearby?
