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.

Aren't all of the PA polls and lists Just for Fun? Smile

David, yes, I will refrain from participating in the game. Maybe some other time.

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. 😄

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.

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.

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.

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. Thumbs Up

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. Wink

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.

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 Evil Smile
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.

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.

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) :   Selling England By The Pound  (1973)   12,74 (4347 b.)
48 Yes  (UK) :   Close To The Edge  (1972)   12,87 (5157 b.)
44 Jethro Tull  (UK) :   Thick As A Brick  (1972)   12,75 (3399 b.)
50 King Crimson  (UK) :   In The Court Of The Crimson King  (1969)   13,02 (7891 b.
50 Pink Floyd  (UK) :   The Dark Side Of the Moon  (1973)   13,03 (14829 b.)
42 Rush  (CAN) :   Moving Pictures  (1981)   12,30 (3864 b.)
40 Dream Theater  (US) :   Images And Words  (1992)   11,82 (4306 b.)
42 Porcupine Tree  (UK) :   In Absentia  (2002)   12,01 (4250 b.)
44 Miles Davis  (US) :   Bitches Brew  (1970)   12,63 (3550 b.)
32 Caravan  (UK) :   In The Land Of Grey And Pink  (1971)   12,31 (1681 b.)
34 Herbie Hancock  (US) :   Head Hunters  (1973)   12,24 (1934 b.)
