The rules:
  1. I will be using a win/loss/tie formula to determine the final ranking, where every possible combination of these albums will face off directly. This means only the albums you vote for will be affected by your vote. As such, please feel free to vote even if you have not heard every album (as long as you follow rule #2).
  2. Naturally, only rank the albums you have heard. Preferably, if there is an album here that you haven't heard in the last several years, give it another listen first.
  3. Simply rank the albums from your favorite to least favorite. If you include comments, I will use them in the result rollout.
  4. The initial deadline will be the end of Friday, March 17 - however, this will be extended if anyone needs it. If you express interest in participating within this topic, I will shoot a private message to remind you as the deadline approaches. (If the deadline is pushed back, it will be to another Friday - I want to calculate this on a Saturday morning)
  5. If you prefer, you can send your ranking through a private message - however, please note that you have done so within this topic. That way, I have a reminder to check my inbox for your vote.

I've started doing my replays, since it's been a while for a lot of these albums. Should get through those this weekend. The weather isn't going to be good and, well, I kind of have to!

Just figure I'll mention that you don't have to listen to every single album to submit a ranking. I know it says that in the first post but it's worth repeating.

3/5ths through! Need to take a break though as I'm getting some ear and mental fatigue. It's been good to do this though as I've actually moved albums around more than I was expecting. Some of these just tend to fair a little better as "just listening to it" album experiences, removed from needing to rank the individual tracks.

Got a few more albums to write some comments on. The bottom of my list won't be getting full re-listens, so that should help speed things up.

I'm planning to submit, though I'll probably have to cut my relistens short.

Tool - 10,000 Days
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Kylie Minogue - Fever
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Green Day - American Idiot
Slipknot - Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses
Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Nas - Illmatic
Backstreet Boys - Millennium
La Dispute - Rooms of the House
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Protest the Hero - Palimpsest
Bad Religion - No Control
The Ataris - So Long, Astoria
Lindsey Stirling - Warmer in the Winter
black midi - Hellfire
Sigrid - Sucker Punch
Ween - Quebec
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not
Duke Ellington - Far East Suite

So a lot of the albums on the lower half have really great songs that I'd listen to individually, but the album as a whole gets brought down by the weaker tracks. Thriller fits here too but the best songs from it are so good that they elevate the album to where it is on my list. Outside of that, I'd say everything from Tool to Birthday Massacre is consistently good start to finish.

I fell short of the relistens needed to feel ready to rank a few of these albums, sorry.

  1. Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
  2. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
  3. The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers
  4. Green Day - American Idiot
  5. Alanis Morissette - jagged little pill
  6. Ween - Quebec
  7. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
  8. black midi - Hellfire
  9. Duke Ellington - Far East Suite
  10. La Dispute - Rooms of the House
  11. Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
  12. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
  13. Sigrid - Sucker Punch
  14. Bad Religion - No Control
  15. Michael Jackson - Thriller
  16. Kylie Minogue - Fever
  17. Nas - Illmatic
  18. Protest the Hero - Palimpsest
  19. Lindsey Stirling - Warmer in the Winter
  20. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
  21. The Ataris - So Long, Astoria
  22. Backstreet Boys - Millennium
There's a substantial gap between my top five and the rest of my list, and my ranks of most of the latter are fluid, at least within a few spots.
