^ Ah, I see. I couldn't find the logic for mixing those threads up - it doesn't seem to be intuitive for the user - but if it makes it easier for you to maintain those lists, then it's fine with me of course (thanks BTW for all this follow-up work on everyone's lists
 ). |

^ Having only one thread makes it simpler to maintain and to make sure that the instructions posted are correct. I don't think that there'll be too many submissions for the past months of 2023, so it should not be too cumbersome for you to follow that thread, even if you only care about the yearly poll. I think that going forward the focus will usually be the past 1-2 months as well as the ongoing year, so it won't be a mess of a lot of different polls going on simultaneously. The thread could become a (slightly more complex) version of the "what are you listening to" thread, just with a more durable outcome.

^ Why? It seems to me rather confusing to mix AotY and AotM lists (apart from the fact that I'm not following - and will not participate - in those monthly lists)...

I've created a fresh set of instructions in the other thread - maybe we should close this one and concentrate our efforts over there?

Small improvement: Optimized the layout for the combined charts and implemented proper ranking, so that releases with equal number of points can share positions.

I did check it out recently and there was an interesting exchange between Steve Babb (Glass Hammer) and various forum users. I discovered that Fred Schendel is not really a big part of the band of the anymore (it was always Babb and Schendel for years) and only guested on the recent album Arise. I have been a follower of the band for 20 years and it was fascinating to read some very candid stuff. I wonder why actual musicians like Babb don't feel they can post here? Are we just way too elitist? That's been my concern for a long time tbh. Edited by richardh - December 29 2023 at 00:58 |

Credit where credit is due, while I have not posted there in many years, and don;t remember my account details, I went through the album of the year topic at progressive ears and found it good reading. Some good discussion of albums there and lists. It might also be useful to some to read to get ideas. I tried to register again there yesterday, as I rather feel like this should be one big prog/art/progressive/experimental music community despite the address/url. Also, when one site is slow might be easier to find conversation (I like internet forum discussion but I am not very good at it) with users at the other site.

FYI: I have improved the search function, it now ignores the filters. So when you search for something you will find it regardless of whether you set the filter to only show PA releases, or to only show releases you interacted with.

^ Please PM me about the search function, we can sort it out. Your list looks good, but my script does not import it because you are also quoting your previous list in your reply, and I'm skipping posts which contain quoted lists. Can you post it once again without a reply in the post?

Do you have a way of having entries with equal points having the same ranking?
Currently I see 26. The Mercury Tree - Self Similar - 30 points 27. Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex - 30 points 28. Damanek - Making Shore - 30 points 29. Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol 2 - 28 points This should really be 26. The Mercury Tree - Self Similar - 30 points 26. Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex - 30 points 26. Damanek - Making Shore - 30 points 29. Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol 2 - 28 points |

Yes, unfortunately the release is tagged as electronic on Bandcamp, and that got automatically picked up.

Seeing Jaimie Branch tagged as 'Anxious Rhythmic Prog Avant Electronic/Jazz' is weird, she's jazz

^ You can copy your list from my post above, just paste it into the textarea that says "Lost your selection? Paste your forum code here [...]". The list is stored in your browser, so it will get lost if you use a different browser, or a different computer, or if you delete your browser cache.
BTW: Whoever pointed out that the drag-and-drop sorting did not work correctly was right ... I've just fixed it.
