You're right. I don't share your and Paul's obsession with ratings and rankings and when I see a ranking that I don't even "understand", my aversion against it only grows bigger. Sorry if a small touch of humour disturbed you. Well, no, I'm not even sorry about it but I won't bother you again here; I'll go play outside with JD. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Now, I've decided to join myself. The choosing part was very easy, just those I'm fond/very fond of, and the ranking was some easier than I expected, and exiting, too. - I've never done it before, and I just use to think of the albums, I'm very fond of, as different. Anyway, after a good try, here's my result, and the ranking might be partly random: 48 Genesis (UK) : Selling England By The Pound (1973) 12,74 (4347 b.) 32 Caravan (UK) : In The Land Of Grey And Pink (1971) 12,31 (1681 b.) 32 Comus (UK) : First Utterance (1971) 12,30 (1687 b.) 42 The Mars Volta (US) : De-Loused In The Comatorium (2003) 11,69 (5409 b.) 50 Pink Floyd (UK) : The Dark Side Of the Moon (1973) 13,03 (14829 b.) 46 Frank Zappa (US) : Hot Rats (1969) 12,69 (3960 b.) 50 King Crimson (UK) : In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969) 13,02 (7891 b. 48 Yes (UK) : Close To The Edge (1972) 12,87 (5157 b.) 46 Can (D) : Tago Mago (1971) 12,60 (4180 b.) 44 Miles Davis (US) : Bitches Brew (1970) 12,63 (3550 b.) 48 Tool (US) : Lateralus (2001) 12,11 (6665 b.)
I'll explain my pointsgiving later, and you can check it all. And we're still waiting for possibly more players. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Here are my top five, maybe Radiohead too could be in the fifth position. 40 Robert Wyatt (UK) : Rock Bottom (1974) 12,42 (2109 b.) 32 Comus (UK) : First Utterance (1971) 12,30 (1687 b.) 46 Can (D) : Tago Mago (1971) 12,60 (4180 b.) 38 Van Der Graaf Generator (UK) : Pawn Hearts (1971) 12,49 (1908 b.) 44 Miles Davis (US) : Bitches Brew (1970) 12,63 (3550 b.) Those first four especially rank as some of my most essential albums. Love Miles Davis, but I am more of a Big Fun and Get Up With It guy. |

I have never been one for rating and/or ranking. So all I’ve done is retained the order you posted them, and selected my favourite ten or something from there, I agree with Paul that a game needs no purpose. It’s the fun of taking part. I have no idea of the purpose of this game, or even if there is a purpose, but I guess I’ve taken part. I wouldn’t say I, having fun yet, but that’s often the case when you try a new game, and haven’t quite worked out how it goes yet…. Ten or something, unranked: 50 Radiohead (UK) : Kid A (2000) 12,51 (12122 b.) 50 King Crimson (UK) : In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969) 13,02 (7891 b. 48 Tool (US) : Lateralus (2001) 12,11 (6665 b.) 46 Can (D) : Tago Mago (1971) 12,60 (4180 b.) 44 Opeth (S) : Blackwater Park (2001) 12,27 (4589 b.) 44 Miles Davis (US) : Bitches Brew (1970) 12,63 (3550 b.) 42 The Mars Volta (US) : De-Loused In The Comatorium (2003) 11,69 (5409 b.) 38 Van Der Graaf Generator (UK) : Pawn Hearts (1971) 12,49 (1908 b.) 36 Camel (UK) : Mirage (1974) 12,35 (1927 b.) 32 Comus (UK) : First Utterance (1971) 12,30 (1687 b.) ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

I won't say it's just for fun but it's about personal taste, and maybe something about the "objective" rating lists where you might have a good, critical contribution. So I've in fact been thinking that it could be good to have you here - not least if you only can choose a small number of albums from the list. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Yeah, I’m not sure what JD is getting at. The Just For Fun section doesn’t seem at all the right place for this, and where it is, does. Perhaps JD is just showing his sense of humour again? For sure, all of the PA polls and lists are Just For Fun. 😄 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Wow!, an amazing number of 15 albums, Lewian. Now, we're really getting somewhere, and having a statistician can be very good, as well, I guess. You get 916 points and are absolutely at the top of our result list now, but whether it's very good, we don't know yet. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Seriously Guys? You don't get my meaning? And let's be clear, it makes no mind to me, but this is more than just making top 10 lists or whatever. It's a game..David said so. So yes, I think it would be better suited for the Just For Fun forum. Plus, I think David may get more of the participation he's looking for because people who like to have fun and play games are there. That's all I was suggesting. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Fair enough, but I definitely disagree. A lot of forum members pay absolutely no attention to the Just For Fun section. They get their fun instead from the polls and lists sections, which are still mostly much related to the prog music they know and enjoy. The Just For Fun section, on the other hand, is rarely about that prog music. And, given you don’t know how this game is going to progress, I would say you are being premature to suggest already that it belongs in the Just For Fun section. It seems completely appropriate to me, just where it is. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

I doubt if I would've noticed this album listing game if it had been misplaced in Just for Fun. You can include me amongst the members who don't pay much attention to the non-prog Just for Fun section, as I get much more fun and enjoyment out of taking part in the daily PA polls and lists, just like this one.

Thank you very much, Nick! It's good you're telling about the unranking because it has some importance for the number of points you get assigned - which is 600, exactly.

This is not JUST for fun. This is a prog thingy!!! Hahah, just kidding. Kinda your type of reaction. I agree with Nick. I once created a thread entitled "The First Prog Lyrics That Pop Into Your Mind" and the admins moved it to the JfF section. I wouldn't do such a thing if I were an admin, but not a big deal. These are trivial matters for me. |

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had fun, yet, but not to plan everything in advance is supposed to be a part of having fun, and in this kind forum event it's difficult to forecast what will happen - and I don't find it so important. The total result will very much depend as well of everybody's contribution. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Yes, but in form not in content. I won't reveal everything, yet, but in content, this is meant as a very serious business about the relation between personal taste and what can be regarded as general opinion.

Okay, this thread is more turbulent than I imagined, but we're still surely getting somewhere and the present state is this: Lewian - 916 David - 666  Nogbad - 640 P. Paul - 602 Nick - 600 Mirakaze - 576 Cristi - 526 Grumpy - 264 JD - 100 (for originality) suitkees - 50 (for originality) And as you can see, it still gives some good meaning for me to count JD and suitkees with us - even I reckon it's a bit controversial. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Meanwhile, I can tell that I'm very fond only of these: Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra (1973) Solaris - Marsbéli Krónikák (1984) So, if it's about your personal taste, I think, I surely can conclude that it's very different from mine. Then, I don't think, I would have done something like your post here, so the differences between us two are maybe bigger than that. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Ok, I'll play nice. Let's see how this adds to my already 'moderate' score. I assume if I don't think they are worthy of a 'Very High' rating or if I haven't heard the album, I simply leave them off my list. Let the games begin ! 48 Genesis (UK) :

Close To The Edge (1972) 12,87 (5157 b.) 44 Jethro Tull (UK) :

As it wasn't specified in the original post how many albums you can choose to list, doesn't that give an unfair advantage in points to someone who chooses to list 20 albums instead of 5 or 10 albums, or am I taking this game too seriously?

Good to hear, JD! There might still be a good hope for the two of us. Your high score here suprises me, but yes, we can get some wrong opinions pretty quick. You get 664 points for the albums you have chosen. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Except at the end it may come out that you win with the lowest number of points, or if you precisely hit 666... I don't feel much of an advantage for being listed at the top, but anyway, it was fine to make the list.

1-) 38 Van Der Graaf Generator (UK) : Pawn Hearts (1971) 12,49 (1908 b.) 2-) 48 Yes (UK) : Close To The Edge (1972) 12,87 (5157 b.) 3-) 32 Marillion (UK) : Misplaced Childhood (1985) 12,06 (1849 b.) My criterion: Quality over quantity. And a "top 3" is the most "classy" top of all tops. Mark my words, David from Denmark.
