The rules: 1. Rank every album you have listened to - you must rank a minimum of 10 (but should try to listen to and rank as many as possible). 2. I will be using a win-loss formula to calculate these results - essentially, each album pairing will be put in a head-to-head match based on our rankings and each album will be ranked based on wins-losses-ties (with a tiebreaker determined by strength of the defeated albums). This will take a bit more effort but will also allow people to participate without hearing everything while not affecting the rank of albums they haven't heard. I might still calculate the average rank among those who submit full lists. 3. The deadline will be the end of March 31 (or, rather, some vague time the next morning). That will be the soft deadline - I will post an official cutoff once I am actually calculating the results, and anyone can ask for more time if necessary. 4. If you comment on the albums, I will include your comments in the final rollout. The album list, sorted by artist: The Avalanches - Since I Left You Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me Coeur de pirate - Roses Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced Iron Maiden - Powerslave Billy Joel - The Stranger The Knife - Silent Shout Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia Lorde - Melodrama Moby - Play Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine Of Monsters and Men - My Head is an Animal OutKast - Aquemini Rancid - And Out Come the Wolves Rush - Moving Pictures Soundgarden - Superunknown Spice Girls - Spice Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill Supertramp - Breakfast in America Taylor Swift - Speak Now Tears for Fears - The Hurting The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground and Nico Tom Waits - Rain Dogs Let me know if you have any questions --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

Here's my ranking - I will provide comments as I am posting the results. Note that I only rank my top 1,500 albums, which is why the bottom 7 are unranked.

If anyone wants to PM me their ranking for this, feel free to do so - but also please say that you have done so in the thread (I don't want to accidentally overlook it when I am calculating this more than a month from now, so having a message here saying "I sent mine through PM" will be a helpful reminder while also letting other people be aware of participation). --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...

I'm intrigued to see what's going to come out on top this time. I don't think there's going to be a single album that's even top 10 in every list. Best guess, and based on how the last album rankings went, I'd say either --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

Like last time, I updated this ranking each week as we covered an albums songs. As someone whos never been big into music, a lot of these albums were new to me, so many of these are ranked based upon just a few listens. Heard album before ranking: 2/25 (Technically its 1 but Im counting The Stranger as well due to most of it being on Joels Greatest Hits) Heard at least one song from the album before ranking: ~13/25 Never even heard of the artist before ranking: ~7/25 (Some I knew the song but not the artist) Ive also done a broader ranking of ALL the albums weve covered so far. Compared to our first album rankings, I liked this batch of 25 slightly less (average ranking of 25.2 for 1st 25 versus 25.8 for this 2nd 25). As with any ranking, there is a certain amount of fluidity here, especially with the middle of the list. Ultimately, I did this thinking about one question: how much do I want to listen to this album again?, so this is a very subjective list for my tastes. If I tried to put this into tiers, Im thinking Tier 1: 1-5 - Will (and have) listened to again Tier 2: 6-11 - Enjoyable and would go back to listen to again Tier 3: 12-20 - Mixed reaction (and the most fluid in terms of exact ranking) Tier 4: 21-25 - Will not listen to again (but glad to have expanded my musical horizons)
