The placement of GnR, however, is statistically significant. Never been a big fan of them, but they fully embody a certain style, better than most similar bands, so I'll say they deserve their placement, even being among the 30 bands I didn't vote for in this top 100. Though it is fun to note that ...

I have put on my hype pants. You can now begin day 3 of the presentation. Prediction: I will go another day without losing a member of my top 25, for some reason; if I do lose any, it will include my #1. Cool to see the results so far. Thanks for the work, Jimmy! I know some may recoil a bit at the ...

Petri extended the deadline a couple days.

Added a link to the Radiohead results in the first post, so this topic can be a central hub.

Hm. I'm bumping this in case people missed it. Since I'm here, might as well fill out the individual albums: Pablo Honey: 1. Creep (1137 points) 2. Thinking About You (24 points) 3.

Kinda low on votes this week so far.

BleuPanda

One thing I do is upload all the pictures to imgur; a lot of websites don't allow hotlinking. This also allows you to take larger images and condense them down to a uniform size.

And I'd make a third who can't see Gainsbourg, so...

If you plan to submit, you only have a couple more days.

I wonder which of my top 25 will be the first to fall...

I need to make sure to count how many acts have been in each polls top 100; it looks like a few will be at risk next time.

BleuPanda

Begin day 2 of me frothing at the mouth in anticipation.

BleuPanda

I'm feeling bad now because, after recent discussions on the forum, there are a few acts I really should've voted for. A Tribe Called Quest has shot up my newly modified artist list, and listening to a few more Sleater-Kinney albums has helped them greatly. I also listened to some classic EPs which ...

BleuPanda

Sex Pistols features in my top 100 by formula, but I generally dropped artists with only one main work. It feels more like I really like that one album instead of the band as a whole.

BleuPanda

26 of my artists have appeared so far: 26. The Knife (159) 37. Jay-Z (172) 38. Animal Collective (168) 39. Primal Scream (169) 42. Grimes (149) 46. Roy Orbison (175) 58. Chuck Berry (104) 60.

Another of my top 100 falls; surprised it hasn't been more. My #83 Hot Chip landed at 322. I'm happy with this results, since they were one of the bands I expected not to make it at all.

BleuPanda

Very interesting results. I kind of wish I'd put Nico and Moby on my list now - they both deserve higher. And in line with babydoll, my highest artists to have already appeared: 10. Sharon Van Etten 14. Julianna Barwick (not surprised to have been the only vote for either of them, I've noticed I'm ...

BleuPanda

Hmm. It appears The Chemical Brothers is the only act on my list to fall. They were my #65.

BleuPanda

Once again, as always, we can blame the Canadians. Perhaps we should see what the list looks like divided among those who didn't and did vote for Nickelback? You know, like we did with Stairway to Heaven a few years back? :whistle: I think one notable feature of our artists poll is, for whatever rea...

BleuPanda

!!!

(Is that excitement, or hopes for my 8th favorite dance-punk artist to make the list? You decide.)

BleuPanda

It's weird seeing Videotape so low here; I'm kind of wishing we could have seen something else from this album during Best of the B-Sides.

BleuPanda

I sent my list yesterday, with comments for everything. I hope I don't come off as too harsh on some of them, but that's going to happen if I actually comment on every single movie I watched. I think all but my bottom 3 or so would receive overall positive reviews from me, but having to consider the...

BleuPanda

Sorry guys. Since everyone wanted more voters I decided to invite my friends from the Nickelback forum; I was sure a few #1 votes for Canada's preeminent rock band wouldn't change the results much, but they might have thrown a few votes toward an unlikely artist or two. Some of the Canadians on the ...

Edit: Also, why do people keep putting lurker in quotes? It's a rather commonly used term for people who regularly view message boards but don't directly participate. There are even studies on internet use that use the term; it's not a negative moniker, and I'm sure everyone here does it, if not on...

BleuPanda

At least on my end, the statistical approach to ranking artists is largely due to my obsession with statistics and Excel sheets. Half the reason I did the song poll last year was because I wanted an excuse to make a massive excel file. Ranking artists through formulas is a combination of my two hobb...

BleuPanda

by the way, BleuPanda, if you read this, will there ever be a final round of the VG poll ? I believe you mean JimmyJazz. I ran the video game music tourney. I think there might have been some issues with the video game poll, mainly the fact that few of us shared the same central experience. If we d...

BleuPanda

List made; I'm now working on providing a comment for every film I have watched.

BleuPanda

I think one problem when discussing EPs is that a lot of them have their biggest tracks absorbed into the band's later albums. A few bands even release a collection of their EPs as their first 'album' (for example, The Beta Band has The Three EP's). I imagine this makes it hard for critics to discus...

I kind of feel rude asking, but any idea when this will start? Just curious, since I believe we're past the initial planned start time.

BleuPanda

The Great American Songbook, tough less remembered in the mainstream publication, still is considered arguably the golden age of popular american music. Is it though? It is used as a referential point for sure, but does that mean that everything since then has been of lesser artistic quality? Havin...

One fun bit is I'm 99% sure, even though me and Henrik appear to be the ones with the most artists from the top 100, my favorite from that range is likely nowhere near Henrik's list (unless something has massively changed since I last heard his opinion on the band). There's a possibility we have the...

I think I've figured out a better term for the type of people I was talking about: the passersby. People with no investment in the forum, who only contribute because the poll happens to be going on when they took a brief glance at the forum; someone more concerned with their favorites doing well tha...

I hope more people are planning to vote; we're a bit behind the previous weeks (and we currently have a tie).

If it's not being taught in schools, I wouldn't expect teenagers to just pick up on classic works. There will always be those dedicated to music, but for a lot of people, there's no universal entry point. It's actually kind of funny; through my history classes, we did cover topics such as Beatlemani...

BleuPanda

I don't think babydoll was trying to cite Presley as proof the era is acclaimed, but instead pointing out an obvious unmentioned artist up to that point in the topic. Though Pierre's comment is important to note; it looks like mat is largely referring to non-rock acts of the pre-60s, in which case t...

BleuPanda

One thing I've noticed - I'm ranking all of these artists off what I have experienced. It creates this situation where I've heard every single major album by Roxy Music vs. only half of Sleater-Kinney's (due to their placement on the AM list - Roxy Music has 6 top 1000 while Sleater-Kinney has 2 + t...

BleuPanda

Yo! Ever heard of Elvis Presley? That's what I was going to ask...perhaps Presley has been forgotten in Brazil? I think Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard also still get plenty of attention, though that could just be me being too close to critical opinions to notice wider cultural trends....

I'm probably waiting until the last day to send mine, to give myself as much time as possible to watch more films. You can definitely count on me to submit (and hopefully I don't forget that last day...). I've watched about 8 more of these within the last month, and I plan to get around to at least ...

Mine broken down that way would be...embarrassing. Since I started listening to albums after discovering this site, and I'm still making my way through the top 3000 albums (though over halfway through), a lot of what I have listened to is by artists featured highly on this site. So my correlation to...

Of course, don't feel rushed! I was just concerned that it had fallen halfway down the main page; there's still 25 days!

Back to a discussion of the list, am I the only one more curious about which of their entrants ended up the lowest than the highest? I guess it might be because of my generally strong correlation to the forum polls, but the fact I can only think of a handful that would miss a top 500 makes me want t...

I do hope everyone will chill out about the results one way or the other. During the rollout, I will make one thing clear: NO CONTROVERSIES. This. While I of course want to encourage comments on the results, I really hope everyone will stay calm. I'm sure we're all thrilled by the new voting record...

BleuPanda

I'm sorry for what I've said in this topic. I don't think it came off the way I intended, especially if people who continued to use the forum after entering it through a poll (the way I did) believe I am talking about them. Part of what's interesting to me about forum polls is they are usually repre...
