30 users already cast their votes ... how about you?

http://progfreak.com/home/charts.xhtml?y=2008

You don't need to assign a lot of tags, no genres or anything ... all that's need to participate is that you create an account and assign a rating (0-10) to your favorite albums of 2008.

Smile

EDIT: I implemented a common signature image url to display all the top lists ... from now on I'll add each new chart to this list. You can tweak the color of your chart on the signature configuration page at PF!

*bump ... seven views in two days, no takers. If you're reading this and you decide not to try, I'd still be interested in why.Embarrassed Even if you hate PF (or rating in general) - you can still consider it as a small christmas present for me - for the sake of old times.Smile

I managed it, surely everyone else canLOL

I've added my top 20-25 votes a while ago - I may return to add notes up to #50 or such during the next days...

I'm fully aware that there are many people who may not even have listened to 5 albums of 2008. I have my hopes though that the various "top 2008" activities (which my chart is only one of) might encourage them to check out more of them. As others have also said: 2008 has been a strong year!Smile

Anyone else interested in giving this a try? It only takes two clicks to submit a rating for an album on that chart page.Smile

^ another nice list - but out of curiosity, do you know where In Anima is available? It's not listed at Amazon, CDBaby or eMusic.com, but I remember reading somewhere that they offer a free download ...

Oh, really? LOL

Shameless self-promotion is the best. Wink

I need to use PF more often, really. It's a neat site, Mike. Clap

^ thanks! Well, the more of you use my site regularly, the more casual users from other sources (websites) might be attracted to it. By "regular usage" I don't mean heavy usage - just occasionally rating/tagging an album would do the trick. And as a nice side effect, at the end of the year you're automatically on this chart. Remember that I didn't build this website for "self gratification" ... it's meant to provide a useful service for you.Smile

BTW: In the light of the top collabs albums list which was published by Ricochet yesterday (great work by the way!), I raised the bar for the PF chart a little bit. If I remember correctly, the collabs had to name their top 5 albums of 2008. On the PF chart, this is now also the standard requirement.


With this new requirement, there are now 16 users listed (as opposed to 72 collaborators in the other list). Come on guys, it's not too late to participate!Big smile

I'm not sure whether I understand that question. Maybe you noticed that today the chart moved to 2009 ... I changed that, it will continue to default to 2008 for all of January.Smile
