Can we just nuke this thread and begin again with a 50-album nomination limit ffs
― imago, Saturday, 7 December 2019 11:04 (four years ago) link
What’s done is done. Let this thread stand as a cautionary tale against those who would advocate absolute freedom (Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor ftw).
― pomenitul, Saturday, 7 December 2019 11:08 (four years ago) link
My big list was filtered on release date >= 2018-12-01. But whatever. I was trying to be helpful.
The shorter list, just for the curious or skeptical, was generated from my Spotify listening history. It was filtered on totalplays >=5, and my listening is overwhelmingly playlist-based, not album-based, so it has many albums that contain songs I liked, but where I may never have played the whole thing. It was a nomination list, not a ballot...
― glenn mcdonald, Saturday, 7 December 2019 13:16 (four years ago) link
No worries, glenn, it's just a little too much to process on our end. And the release date as it appears on Spotify isn't always accurate, hence the need to google each title, which takes ages as you can imagine.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 7 December 2019 13:22 (four years ago) link
I also like to think of nominations as a curated pre-selection that helps us navigate the sheer glut of yearly releases. So while a limit of 50 may not always be enough, I do think we should try to favour those albums we genuinely enjoyed the most.

Glenn was my original co-runner on metal poll btw
― Dog Is Daed (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 7 December 2019 15:49 (four years ago) link
OK now that Glenn's big list has been removed (and apparently memory-holed from the thread as well!), I guess I have some stuff I can nominate after all. I think it makes the nomination process more interactive and informative to see what each person liked enough to nominate, so agree with the decision.
