stunned that imago has yet to shit on everyone polling their top 50 albums
(not that he would dare to do so with fgti)

maybe once we get to 50 lists we can have a poll for which list is best

Is this going to be the week that ILM is completely unreadable? If so, suits me I suppose because I have stuff I need to get done.

Time for NV to reinstate his 'What makes a man start polls?' board name prefix
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:01 (eight months ago) link
I was actually going to do a poll today based on the best selling album in the UK in 1975 and one of the few albums my mum owned, "The Best of the Stylistics", but when I checked the tracklist it didn't have half the songs on it I thought it had.
― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:17 (eight months ago) link
i feel like we've done that one before? but yeah the Stylistics's catalogue is broken up over a few labels i think
― you're a sick man, Buddy Rich (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:18 (eight months ago) link
anyway the Stylistics fucking rule
Nah, the poll's never been done. They've got too many good songs to fit on a single (vinyl) album tbh.

albums have been proven, by science, to be significantly less fun than singles

I don't mind people doing this, but I've def lost track of which polls I've voted in & which lists I wanted to comment on

Ok, imagine 100+ polls where we all put our top 50. All I'm asking is: are you sure?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:13 (eight months ago) link
How do you weirdos even rank albums it just seems very…neurodivergent. I just like stuff without worrying if it’s above or below another album by a completely different artist.
― deep wubs and tribral rhythms (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:13 (eight months ago) link
Don't even need to rank them beyond which 50 make the cut of course. I certainly can't get my head around putting my favorites in some kind of specific order like that either.

I could do my top 50 albums in the blink of an eye. Everyone would vote Spirit Of Eden and we'd learn nothing

yea would be fun if we were doing one a week or something in fact that might be a cool community project. as it is idk they all kinda blur together but hey I don't mind
― frogbs, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:24 (eight months ago) link
Next year’s top 50 polls will probably be auto-submitted by Spotify and Apple Music - with no human editorial corrections to the data allowed.

I hate ranking things in lists, these lists are fun because they're casual and unranked. At the very least I'm finding a few albums in each that I've never heard, but that someone thinks is worth listening to at the same level as a bunch of classics.

This and the Kubrick re-poll...a bad time for the polling industry
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:33 (eight months ago) link
if there is such a thing as neurotypicality then rating and ranking and classifying is absolutely *central* to that project despite impressive levels of projection to the contrary
― your original display name is still visible (Left), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:36 (eight months ago) link
there's a ton of reasons why this would be a pointless endeavour for me but other people aren't me and hey, if it makes somebody happy then there are worse things on ILM
i dunno if it has any negative effects on board usability but it's 2023 it's probably a bit late to be fretting about that

i don't mind the lists either, but feel like it'd be more interesting and spark more discussion if we did like one a week and staggered them instead of one big dump

I was gonna do one of those top 50s (alphabetical, not ranked) but the minute I thought of 50 I thought of 25 more, so fuck it.

― you're a sick man, Buddy Rich (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:39 (eight months ago) link
yea would get way more discussion that way I think. ultimately I kinda wonder how many people have actually heard a majority of the albums on these lists or if stuff like Remain in Light and Future Days is just gonna win every time. guess we'll find out in a week!!!

― deep wubs and tribral rhythms (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:43 (eight months ago) link
The poll results are beside the point imo, obviously the most recognizable albums are gonna win in each one, like with all polls. But yeah I hope people check out some of the lesser known stuff, that's the good part.
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:45 (eight months ago) link
I also found the exercise of putting down that many albums I have truly loved to be fun. Made me think about what I really appreciate about this music.
