But that's the beauty of it! It's their prerogative! I'd expect the bar for results to be well over 200 points so it'd take an obvious and easily-quenchable block-voting campaign to get some novelty record into the list. The actual number of points doesn't matter if everyone has the same, but 200 sounded nice to me. My own ballot would heave quite a lot of points Cardiacs-wards, but I'd still leave 100 or so over for other stuff. For something like Art Bears you'd do worse than give 'em 100 points and hope someone else gets the right idea. If they don't, then it doesn't deserve to be in the poll, does it? Yeah, I know it does, but it doesn't. I feel your pain.

Anyway, an alt-90's poll seems a good way to trial the method, at least. As long as everyone doesn't start voting for Ocean Colour Scene.

Just for fun...how about everyone gets 200 MILLION points?

but you can only allocate a maximum of 50 points to any single album.

Well, I'd be up for an alternative '90s poll, and it's not like it matters if we get strange results, so... go for it.

hahahaha but some jerk's gonna make my life hell, all voting for seven thousand different albums and giving Superunknown like 13,508,443 points and making it all add up to 200,000,003 and then being all 'NAHHHH GOTCHA' when I don't bother to add it up plus I do have like a degree to finish

lol zackly, Z S

three years pass...

what's the statute of limitations on these decade polls? i'm curious what it'd look like if we ran this today with a decade+ more distance from the source. do we really still like Pulp this much as a community?
