Album Cover Tournament-Nomination Thread

Post by Holden »

Hello! I haven't seen anything like this on this site, and I think it would be very fun! So here it is-a Favorite Album Cover Tournament! Here, you are going to nominate your favorite album covers if you'd like! Nominate as many as you like-I'll base the size of the tournament on the number of nominations.
Rules for how I'll select contestants-
If ranked lists are submitted, I'll prioritize higher ranked lists. If you submit an unranked set of album covers, I'll select randomly. I'll be as fair as possible, and try to give everyone as many albums as possible!
This will be due on March 31st! Thank you, I'm excited for this!

I actually ran an album cover poll once upon a time, which you can see the results of here.

That being said, I'd be thrilled to something like it happen again. I'd imagine the results would be wildly different five years later. I'm also curious how using a tournament format would fare as opposed to just submitted lists.

If people would prefer a list format, I could do that instead! Whatever people want more!

Editor's note:
• The top position is for artists who plays the music of Pop Metal/AOR/Slow Rock. They are getting the top position except for these artists who previously included on AM list with their own songs for example Mr. Big with "To Be with You", Queensryche with "Silent Lucidity", and Twisted Sister with "We're not gonna take it".
• Icehouse, although a New Wave band, getting the top position because some listeners didn't know Icehouse. Weightly, Icehouse lose to the other New Wave bands like a-ha, Duran Duran, Tears For Fears, and other bands.
• The name of the album, Glenn Medeiros, refer to the album that featuring the cover of the George Benson song and also his power ballad, "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You", one of his biggest hit singles.
Director of Top Hits and also founder of Top 500 Radio Hits of All Time, now Top 500+ and soon grown up to Top 1000+.
