I'm tenacious.  I think it was more my being unused to the database, I can be thick at times.  But maybe somehow highlight that for others.  Your destructions were easy to follow.

I would enjoy reading someone's review of Colin Carter's very nice new CD, "Tracks in Space!"  Not space rock, but a nicely rocking little romp through prog-land! 

Some of the songs have a nice Middle Eastern tint to them, and I swear would make nice material for the next James Bond soundtrack!  

I have to disqualify myself from posting a review as he's a personal friend.  Would someone do the honors? 

Cheers, Happy Boxing Day and Merry Merry!!

^ not so sure this is the thread for such a request, but if you must, why not. I've even rated the release a few months ago on AP: https://awesomeprog.com/releases/65991

You can do it from scratch if you prefer - so now this is your list. Just add more releases …

Unfortunatalely this doesn't seem to work for me. I've picked some extra selections and attempted to re-order but it keeps moving albums to the bottom of the list when I try and drag them.


Strange - it works when I try to sort my list. Which browser are you using?

^ That has not been an issue for me with Firefox, which I have been using for this.

It would be great to see some more lists from people, be they final, tentative, in the making.... One way that people discover albums is from the lists and comments in topics such as this, which is a reason to consider starting to post your favourites on the earlier side.

A thing I really like about using and viewing the chart[s] at AP is how dynamic it is. It's a living list with nothing set in stone until, at least, the heavy gargoyle sings. And great for me to see those in PA choices as well as out of PA choices.

And note, if your favourites by acts that are not included in PA you think could be PA worthy, the sooner those are suggested the more likely they will be listed in time for the official AOTY results. And an album of a band/artist already in PA may not be on the AwesomeProg list because that album was never added to PA (I found several through looking through the awesome Prog non-PA list). Any Prog Archives member can add albums to PA, and members of AwesomeProg can add albums and acts to AP.

I really like having all of the PA community being involved in this, or having the opportunity, and thanks to all who participated... and especially thanks to Mike for the chart and all that work and for carrying this endeavour.

FYI: I improved the texts and usability on the voting page and added back a filter for AP users to narrow down the list of releases to those they interacted with.

^ 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. Embarrassed

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

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

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

Just a reminder.

Feel free to drop me a PM, but I'll also outline how this works here again, in case other users are wondering:

1. You go to https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2023. No need to log in or create an account at AP.
2. On that page you can use the releases list on the left hand side of the screen to select your favorite releases. There is a link/button called "show all releases (PA + Non-PA)" above the list which you can use to remove the restriction to only showing PA releases.
3. If one of your favorite releases is not in the list, things get more complicated - you can then register/log into AP, enabling you to add artists and releases yourself. You can also ping me here in the forum or via PM, and I'll add the release for you. If it is a PA release, it will also need to be linked to the PA database entry. You can also do that yourself (by adding the link on the AP release page), or I can do it.
4. Assuming that you were able to select all your favorite releases, you can then sort them on the right hand side of the screen.
5. Once your list looks good, you can select the generated code in the text box below the list on the right hand side and copy it into a post in this forum, where my script will pick it up and register it properly, so that it appears on the page in the users tab and as part of the combined charts in the other tabs.

^ 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?

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.
