Board 8 > Board 8's Favourite Albums of All Time [Voting Thread]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Too much negativity lately. I think we need a list! Seg tried to do this last year (and I tried to pick it up) but it was horribly organized. Hope this year is better! I don't think we've ever had a proper albums list, so I think we should give it a shot.



THE RULES
- 50 album minimum.
- 300 album maximum. You can list as many as you want but I'll only count the first 300.
- No artist restrictions. You want to submit a list of 50 Miles Davis albums? Go ahead.
- EPs are fine. Live albums are cool. Compilations are not.
- Classical albums are encouraged! Just make sure to list the specific performer/ensemble/recording. I will not accept an entry of simply 47 | Gustav Mahler | Symphony No. 5.
- Changes are fine up until the deadline, just delete your first post.
- Comments on your albums are encouraged. If you don't want to make your post too big, you could send me the comments in a PM, or publish a google doc of your albums with comments, or send me an e-mail, or hire a skywriter. Whatever! Just comment.
- No one cares that you think Vince has bad taste for listing an album at 18. Keep it to yourself.

FORMATTING
Placement | Artist | Album. No exception. I don't care what symbol you use to separate them so long as it's not a symbol that appears in any artist or title on your list. I'm fond of | so I'd appreciate it if you used it, but if you have something else you're comfortable with that doesn't go against my rule, go ahead.

DEADLINE
Late August, probably. I'll give a more definitive answer later.



If you have any questions about anything I didn't address, feel free to ask 'em. I'm sure I've forgotten a few!

is "the complete works of Mozart" on like 50 CDs all by one ensemble considered one album?

actually I may just leave classical stuff altogether, albums and classical aren't really an ideal mix anyway

From: OmarsComin | #014
is "the complete works of Mozart" on like 50 CDs all by one ensemble considered one album?

Can you show me the Amazon link?


--
ICON:
#Kanyeshrug

oh never mind it's by more than one ensemble

http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Complete-Works-170-Box/dp/B004AHM8CW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311459855&sr=8-1

probably falls under compilation

Yeah, that's a compilation of albums. I'm sure there's a performance or two in there you'd want to highlight. Have you listened to every single album?


--
ICON:
the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops

I've listened to the majority of that collection. there's plenty of classical stuff I'd put on my list but a lot of it isn't organized into albums, or if it ever was I long ago stripped the album names for generic stuff like "Beethoven - Symphonies" or "Shostakovich - String Quartets." probably not ideal for this.

Oh goodness, why must you tempt me right before I'm about to leave...

tag for now I guess.

how is the ranking gonna work? Because it seems like there would be a lot of albums with just one list placement, considering the very wide amount of albums there are

how is the ranking gonna work?

math magic

Because it seems like there would be a lot of albums with just one list placement

I will most likely cut the official list off before this happens. I hope we get 100 albums featured on at least 2 lists.

Oh, the minimum is 50, not 30, which makes the odds of me doing this even slimmer

This may sound elitist and incredibly douchey, but it's not meant to be so don't take it the wrong way:

If you can't think of 50 albums you absolutely love you kind of have no place even making a list here.


That's probably just me

Oh, I can think of 50 albums that I love, but I always try to do things like this with integrity and couple that with the fact that it is very hard for me to rank albums to begin with and I always forget some of my favorites that are from artists that I don't particularly care for, my list becomes "incomplete" and not really in line with how I really feel

Working on making a foundation list, and then I'll listen to a lot of the albums already listed in this topic. I've missed plenty of the ones posted.

this was fun! i was surprised how easily they slipped into 'tiers' - ordering them within said tiers was a bit of a pain, but keeping them in their tiers was automatic.

had 126 originally off of start-with-everything-with-a-good-amount-of-listens but i cut six because they were 'situational listens' which i wouldn't actually rank highly but have their uses.

Looking through some lists right now; Bob, do you like St. Vincent? She's right up your alley if you haven't heard of her.

Rusty, I know your list will be touched up later, so when you do post your final list, can you make sure there's some character between the placement and the artist? Makes it much easier to compile.

Menji has reminded me to check out Cocteau Twins one of these days.

I was wondering when Henryk Gorecki would show up on Seg's list. Scrolling down through it built up the suspense!

Lists will always, always feel incomplete. You will never be completely satisfied with a list. You'll be happy with a few placements, and as Kibago found out, you'll find yourself being able to tier blocks of albums, but not the albums within the tiers, easily. That's why I made the deadline a month from now. Some people can bust out a list in a few hours, others take weeks to agonize over small decisions. I want to welcome both approaches.

Kibago (or Giggs if he sees this first), is Whom The Moon a Nightsong Sings comprised of entirely new material?

I'm pretty serious about chocobos.

give me some sort of guarantee that you will actually compile this and I'll participate

SephirothG, channeling awesomeness from Mershiness.
The Resurrection

the last list that seg had was terrible. there were people who only had 7 albums, and some lists weren't organized in any way. there was no way to salvage that.

i will look at every list here to make sure there's consistency in the formatting, organization, and releases. it'll be a cinch to compile (unless we somehow have 100 lists, in which case it'll still be easy but a little tiresome).

there will be lists.

It's only like 80% new material, but it is considered an album rather than a compilation by almost every source out there. It's entirely up to your own discretion, though I'd allow it.

And whoa, you should really get on Cocteau Twins. They're just one of those bands I'd always assumed you already listened to.

And if you don't know, now you know.

i've heard a few eps but never a proper album.

i hadn't ever looked into that, but no, it's not. some songs are new, some are rereleases.

assuming that makes it ineligible, so just skip over it.
