I would vote for this! And not just because it might be the only thing on your list at the moment

sad that none of these lists have had a write-in option. let us crowdsource your list
― earosmith (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 17:54 (eight months ago) link
tbf they're already being polled. number of posters to engage on your thread other than yourself is the scoring system. a good title is essential but existing clout probably necessary. however you can win favour with Bold and Interesting Choices. the game's afoot!

furthermore, each album may be assigned between 2 and 50 points for ranked lists, or 25 for unranked or alphabetical lists, and combined into a rollout, or perhaps the top fifty will simply be presented once again on a summary button poll

Dammit I was going to include this option in the one I was maybe going to make, tell me now how am I going to be self-deprecating about my tastes

gonna combine a few de rigueur ranking obsessions into one hideous behemoth and tierlist everyone's 50 on their thread until i get banned

Evan, make an "all of these albums are terrible" option
― rob, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 18:33 (eight months ago) link
That's kind of heavy handed... was thinking something a little more playful than a direct go-fuck-yourself button
It's OK I bailed my first attempt to compile. Too broad, too many choices; got exhausting. Considering a more niche filter/theme

i have to know, was daryl dragon _really_ involved heavily in the making of that album?
― Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 19:54 (eight months ago) link
He's credited with guitar and additional vocals: Dogbowl himself is just a strummer and the vocal arrangements are pretty good, so maybe!
― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 19:57 (eight months ago) link
Having said that, he was a keyboard player wasn't he?

i mean, cool to see ILM be much more active than usual, but it's too much to keep up with all the conversations in the different polls.

I gave in and did one too but I dont expect much convo as good as that would be.

Yours is really interesting. It reads like the spines of my dad's record collection, which is a good thing.

I figured there was no point polling a bunch of albums everyone else had
― Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 21:15 (eight months ago) link
I wanted to do songs instead of albums because that’s how I take music in but it was actually daunting.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 21:36 (eight months ago) link
I'm gonna poll my 50 albums but the options will be 'Album 50', 'Album 49' etc. and you have to guess what they are either voting beore or after that possible reveal but I promise nothing.

Curious to what connotations it might have elsewhere. Could've bought it from Poundland too.

My grandparents used the term "BM." It took me a while to figure out they meant "bowel movement."
I assume "Pound Town" has some currency in the UK.
