Can we stick with just the one Deerhoof album to avoid vote-splitting? They had one of the best runs of the decade, and I couldn't decide between around 4 of their albums.

normal fucking rockman (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 4 September 2019 18:32 (four years ago) link

Umm its kind of weird. It was Jerusalem in 99 and was not one long track. Its separated into 6 parts but is the same composition as Dopesmoker.

Happy to replace it with another album if that causes it to not count.

100 would favour the votes of the mentalists. who would have the time to rank a 100 albums?

Dopesmoker technically was released in 03 but had already been out in some form (not one long track) before that. Sorry for the confusion.

you def don't have to rank them all, with mixed ballots, tiers, clemenza method, etc.. 50 will be a tough cut, tho.

i don't think so. that is just distillation to the essentual. actually 30 would be enough, i think.
