Well, I'm off to bed for the night. If you still haven't submitted, do so in the next few hours. I will begin the presentation sometime tomorrow.

BleuPanda

I'm almost worried all of my top 100 will make it...though, I guess there are a few critically acclaimed acts that I don't notice many other fans of here.

BleuPanda

Argh, they just announced the set times for Pitchfork (I'm going just Saturday), and of the 7 acts I really wanted to see, 6 of them interfere with each other. So now I have to choose Savages, Brian Wilson, and Sufjan Stevens over Jenny Hval, Anderson Paak and Holly Herndon. Why must they torment me...

BleuPanda

Just to make sure, did you get the two changes to my list?

Also, can I request you do something similar to what I did at the beginning of the song poll, listing everyone's favorite act that didn't make the final list?

BleuPanda

bumping this

BleuPanda

33 song lists submitted! (and a few less album lists)

I was not expecting these numbers, so this is a pleasant surprise.

BleuPanda

So, let's see...the deadline for the poll is tomorrow, which I'm going to take to mean midnight CST. However, since I will be sleeping during that time, as long as you have it in by 7 am CST on the morning of the 21st, it will be included.

BleuPanda

babydoll, you voted for Nude twice, and is "Everything Has Its Own Place" supposed to be "Everything In Its Right Place"?

BleuPanda

I believe A Moon Shaped Pool is now on spotify. Please, if you've made an album list and haven't yet listened to it, try to do so. It's running a tight race with another album and I'd hate for it to lose simply due to the fact that less people have listed it.

3 days remain to vote.

128 songs entered, but only one song could come out victorious. In our finals, Talking Heads faced off against Radiohead. Remain in Light gave us "The Great Curve," while OK Computer delivered "Climbing Up the Walls." With 27 votes cast, our winner 16-11 is... The Great Curve! Br...

For your consideration: I have decided to do some write-ups for my own choices for this contest. Three of my entries appear today, and I fear all three will have their fair share of haters (honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see “Rebel Girl” end up dead last in the standings for this section). Tho...

Note: the other topic is still open until 8 PM CST, I just needed to get this up early. The rules are simple: vote for your favorite in each match below. The winner will move to the next round.

On the last round we started with fast pace (three weeks per year) and slowed it down (extended the voting time to one month) when people asked for it (maybe during the 60s or 70s). According what people have voted for in this thread it seems that at least now many doesn't want extra time for the f...

BleuPanda

Also, one thing I'm curious about: is a single month for the last poll long enough for everyone? While I like going at this pace (much better than spending an entire year on a single decade after already having done so), one problem is it doesn't give much time to catch up with what we've missed. W...

Wow, 29 votes! I believe that's more than any week of Best of the B-Sides.

bootsy, you have Creep and Idioteque on the same line. Can you fix that, since I'm not sure what you're actually voting for there?

BleuPanda

28 people have submitted song lists so far (25 for albums)! I think that's a fairly good amount. 6 days remain.

Hm, don't want this falling too far down the page.

Also, unrelated to E3, I (obviously) just played through the Danganronpa series. I really loved their take on the Phoenix Wright formula. The second game especially is outstanding; it's rare for a game to manage such a large cast of characters, but, in the end, I think only 2 of the 16 characters we...

BleuPanda

It's E3 time! Unfortunately, I've always leaned towards Nintendo, and, well, they haven't been at the top of their game for a few years. Not even having a full presentation this year... I always get hyped for this event, but outside of things like Smash Bros., Kingdom Hearts, and a few other series ...

BleuPanda

I'll extend it. Let's go with the 20th as the new deadline (I want to move the timeline a bit anyway).

I just don't want to see A Moon Shaped Pool rank low simply because people haven't heard it yet.

BleuPanda

Hm, I honestly have no idea about Moon River.

BleuPanda

Good thing I got Best of the B-sides started before this update! Would have sucked to have to exclude some albums. I wonder what the next range (129-240) will look like when we get to it after the update... I hope we get some LCD Soundsystem lists once they have their new album out. NYILYBYBMD needs...

BleuPanda

Another thing I find interesting is that Climbing Up the Walls only placed 9th on our OK Computer track listing; do people here just like OK Computer that much, or did people simply start to like CUTW more during this?

BleuPanda

Beautiful day, In Rainbows is apparently on Spotify now.

BleuPanda

Actually, after just checking the first match, Lucifer Sam would be about 3 times as strong if I used its matchup against Morning Bell against In the Mouth a Desert, so, yeah, the first round is impossible to interpret. Part of this is also due to Same Fanbase Factor. Essentially, a song has a bette...

BleuPanda

Both songs in this final match had only a single song break 40% on them during this tourney. Visions scored 42.86% last round against Climbing Up the Walls. The Great Curve's biggest opponent was actually a few rounds back; it only beat Pink Floyd's Brain Damage by a single vote! Through extrapolati...

BleuPanda

We very well could have a repeat of a match that took place in the first round, just like the most recent unacclaimed.

BleuPanda

I think you should decide based on significant values. Do full results as soon as the remaining artists have strong support by a few users; it'd be a bit much to break everything down if many of the artists only have one or two voters. You can also ramp up the detail as the project goes on, like I d...

BleuPanda

And I think another reason to go section by section is, it works for moderately acclaimed because, at least for me, I've already heard around half of the albums each week. If it went section by section, I would have some weeks where I knew everything and other weeks where I'd be overwhelmed. Meanwhi...

BleuPanda

You know, that could have been a good stopping point, leaving with 1337 posts. Alas, my soul is bound to this forum, and I could never break free even if I desired to. Also, I don't feel like we have a consensus on how each week should go in regards to going straight through the bracket or doing a f...

Remember that this is the last day to vote. Only 8 and a half hours remain.

I'm sorry!
