Topic	I rank 57 albums [ranking]
rwlh 09/17/23 5:08:52 PM #1:	Hello There! Its been almost four months to the day since I opened nominations for an ambitious ranking: I would listen to, write about, and rank nominations for albums (not video game music, as thats what Im primarily familiar with). 57 albums later, and we have our ranking! All the writeups are done the hard part is over! All that needs to happen now is some copy-paste action and dealing with any hurt feelings. (I hope there wont be any of those! I tried to say something positive about every album, even last place.) Ill stagger the writeups at a rate of 3-5 per day, so you wont fall too far behind. Bonus Ranking: Thats right ranking 57 albums wasnt enough! Ive also compiled a separate ranking of my favorite song from each album. This ranking will be filled in as the albums drop. What fun! You might think the two rankings align. I can tell you with surety they do not, and thats part of the fun. Each writeup will have a list of my top three songs, plus a link to my top song. I know you wont be able to listen to every single album as they drop, but you can listen to the top song for each to get a sense of what each album has to offer. Most of the time the top songs reflect the rest of the album. Although sometimes theyre the top because they dont reflect the rest of the album. For example, theres one album where I disliked the singer, so the top song is an instrumental. But generally youll get a good sense of the album if you listen to the top songs. But First: I have some housekeeping to attend to before I start pasting the writeups. Id like to post some overall thoughts on my experience with such a big undertaking, as well as fun little stats for you all to munch on. Ill try to get to those soon. And the Nominations Are: Here are your 57 albums! I love seeing predictions, so please feel free to predict what you think did (or didnt) do well. Thank you sincerely for nominating for me! As I said above, I found something to like in all of these. Some I liked right away. Some I found more challenging than others. Some Ive come back to repeatedly. I appreciated everyones effort.
