Same idea as the top song list. Lists of anywhere from 25-100 albums will be accepted. Any genre goes, but nothing listed on PA (except in proto/related). PM me your lists when you finish. Please use text format (not RYM), and list albums starting with #1 and then going down (do not do reverse order). Commence. Lists are due September 15, 2008. NOTE: For the purposes of this list, John Zorn does not count as prog (as in, he can be included on the lists). While he is listed under RIO/Avant prog, even the PA bio admits he is not really a prog artist. Neither does Miles Davis, who will shortly be added to the site, since he was not on the site before this contest started. And, once again, Proto/Related is not prog. Note2: Classical works count as well, even if they came before the time of recording music. Just list them as Composer - Name of Work (e.g. Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring). Even if there are recorded versions since then, please format it as I said. So what can I include? -anything not on progarchives -anything in the Proto/related categories on PA -John Zorn and Miles Davis |

Well, according to your list, an album that is ranked #1 is 250 times better than an album ranked #250. I would add a bonus simply for making the list, meaning that being #1 would only be ten times better than being #250 (or, in the case of my list, five times better than being #100). |

I can't say that I follow you. The bonus seems linear and would not make any real difference.
But still, I had a system going with this. I really can't believe you'd just butt in. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I admit I didn't notice your thread. The bonus would make a difference. Say I put Can's Ege Bamyasi at #1, and nobody else puts it anywhere. It gets 100 points on your system. Suppose 99 people put Tago Mago at #100, and nobody else puts it anywhere. It gets 99 points from you. So EB>TM even though 99 people prefer TM. But in my system, if EB is at #1, then if 6 people put TM at #100, it ends up above EB. See the difference now? |

If it really bothers you, though, I can just have this thread deleted. It would be interesting to see the comparison between the two scoring methods, though. |

While itsy's weighting may be too low, I would argue that yours is too high. |

I admit, I like your system, or one with a slightly less generous curve. I'd love to implement it.
I know it was an honest mistake, but I'd appreciate waiting until December. Then, explain to me your system and I think it will benefit the list. I was thinking of a way to do that, I just didn't know how. I figured I could come up with some sort of curve formula but didn't have the motivation. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I chose such a high weighting to show how much of a difference it could make. Somewhere between 10-15 would probably be a better choice. |

Although I was rather angry before, I admit this topic turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise because now I have the idea of scaling scores based on different multipliers based on the number of votes received. Probably in increments of between .05 and .15 per vote. I'll be implementing this switch as soon as the song list if it works well. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

Is your album list finished? If it is, I'd say go ahead with this one with the new scoring. If it isn't, this thread can be closed and you can implement the scoring on the album list, too. Also, I'm a bit baffled why you were so upset over a simple misunderstanding. |

The album list finished months ago, but I'll be switching up the scoring for the song list which is currently under way. Well my first post was a bit more a joking tone (something I knew you wouldn't take too seriously  ) but I worked really hard on that list and I really enjoyed doing it. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

This is just a reminder that all finalized lists will need to be PMed to me or I won't be able to count them (far too much work digging through the thread and seperating lists I have from lists I don't). Also, Alucard, it's impossible for me to score your list unless you put them in order from best to worst. Thanks guys, and keep them coming. I'll tentatively shoot for the end of September to have this list finished (depending how many lists I get before then). For now, September 15 is the due date. |

This is stupid hard now that most of the corner cases I listen to are actually in RIO/Avant. it is my loss but since I've cut out ze metal and have always ignored indie, hiphop and everything in-between I don't have much of a list - it'd be the work of a dabbler, with a Merzalbum, a jazz album I've accidentally liked, a few bad albums I've come to enjoy since I grew up with them, etc. I just won't bother since it'd be crap data.
If Residents, latter-day Kraftwerk and Slapp Happy are really prog then I am a total purist. ;P |

I've only heard Diary and LP2. I might get one of the later albums eventually. And I hope The Fire Theft is making a follow up, the first one was cool. And Good News is not bad. I believe it very narrowly missed my list. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I simply like the songs, atmospheres, melodies, production and flow of Good News better than all of them. I've never really been a Modest Mouse fan, but something about the album really struck me. I learned to like The Moon & Antarctica, but still not as much as Good News. And, moreitsythanyou, if you like The Fire Theft, and early Sunny Day you'll more than likely enjoy the last two SDRE albums. They are basically a combination of the two sounds. The Fire Theft almost continues the evolution of the band. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Don't list versions, just works: e.g. Dmitri Shostakovich - 4th Symphony and seperately: Dmitri Shostakovich - 1st Symphony That way, if someone likes the 4th symphony but has a different release than you do, it still counts towards the same entry. This is simply to eliminate confusion over different recordings of the same pieces of music. |

Bah, maybe I do mind a little. Its the double CD containing all Bartok's string quartets I love, not just one quartet. Same thing with the Bach LP, and the Fred Van Hove, Wolfgang Daune split-album.

But there's plenty of complete Bartok SQ releases (so that would be the natural way of owning/listening/relate to it for most), as they all fit within a doublealbum. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

it stands for, electro-acoustic improvisation. it is a reasonably tough genre to first jump into, but if you get into it it should prove exciting. for me it is probably for the most interesting direction music is taking these days. I definitely wouldn't suggest starting with something like Good Morning Good Night, a lot of sinewaves and very minimal. my suggestion for a beginning would be some of AMM's '90's albums (i.e. Before Driving to the Chapel....), while not strickly eai per se, tho' they are very closely related, they provide an easier entry point. This incarnation of AMM features Johnh Tilbury on Piano who plays All Piano, which i think is Feldman's at his best, regarding his piano work, 'tis a litle bit different from his earlier symphony styled classical pieces.
I've heard nothing but good things 'bout the new The Viola of My Life, but I've been struggling for money this year so my purchases have been very limited.

Got an AMM album too (It Had Been an Ordinary Enough Day in Pueblo, Colorado), but I rather try one of your reccomendations, than dig that one up. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

It Had Been an Ordinary Enough Day in Pueblo, Colorado is not actually a true AMM album, so to speak. Often it gets labeled under AMM III which is just Keith Rowe and Eddie Prevost. Once I'm back at home I'll send you some more in depth recommendations as I'm currently aborad without my collection.

Okay so basically Pnoom! left this site and promises not to come back. And this list is going along so nicely that I'll take it over in his absence (if he doesn't object).
Oh and don't worry about the PM'd list thing. ------------- <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |
