well copy and paste that list onto the nominations thread then we can all add to it and make it comprehensive.

Steely Dan will be in the top 5 positions knowing ILM ;)

I just had an idea about the re-poll. What if we remove the 100 albums in this list from contention in order to produce a much more interesting poll? Like, anything that placed here is completely off limits for nomination/voting this time. Canon be damned!

Thoughts?

I'm in favour. Then I can vote for "The Belle Album"!

E Poxy Thee Fule (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 10:40 (fourteen years ago) link

I like that idea.

cant believe 'tusk' didnt even place on that poll

just sayin, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 11:32 (fourteen years ago) link

ILM hadn't discovered it then

E Poxy Thee Fule (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 11:32 (fourteen years ago) link

nor Aja!

i would be *completely* down for excluding everything here, but i'm not sure it should happen, if that makes sense

a. cole, u thic (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link

i mean it would distort things too much and i wouldn't be able to vote for 154 which is godhead

a. cole, u thic (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 11:35 (fourteen years ago) link

Or "Pacific Ocean Blue". ILM had different favourites in those days.

E Poxy Thee Fule (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 11:36 (fourteen years ago) link

no, dont remove anything please. You will get much less voters too if you do, people wont be bothered to vote. The results will be different enough.

What's missing? From my library: I am Sitting in a Room, Sex Machine, Look-ka Py Py, Food for Thought, The Revolution Will Not be Televised, Delusion of the Fury, Right Time, Cochin Moon, Disco Club, Music for Airports, The Flying Lizards. Would a single one of these garner enough points to make the list? Maybe the Eno.

You will get much less voters too if you do, people wont be bothered to vote.

You could be right about this. But on the other hand, less people vote in polls now because the thinking is "Oh, [x albums] will make up most of the list, and that's boring...zzzz." I can see both sides of this, but not sure what would better suit a re-poll.

My brain couldn't handle coming up with a best albums of the 80s list, so it certainly won't be able to handle this

E Poxy Thee Thule (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 18:31 (fourteen years ago) link

fuck all other decades but the 70s imo

Fixed.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 18:32 (fourteen years ago) link

no point in running a poll if you exclude stuff.

Indeed. A re-poll is needed.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 1 December 2009 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link

Start from scratch a la the '80s poll imo.

DavidM, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 20:16 (fourteen years ago) link

Okay, everything will be eligible then. I'm just not looking forward to seeing the same ol'. Do not disappoint me, nominators and voters!

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 20:18 (fourteen years ago) link

As i said, start the thread off with every album nominated last time so we can all add to it and make it really comprehensive.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 20:19 (fourteen years ago) link

naw, Johnny Fever, your OG idea is great, ignore this dude

mooncup journey to vaja (The Reverend), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm ready for this!
