"In November, let's compile everything into one long list, then have two weeks of people listing there top 5, then we can add up the votes and develop a "Top 10 albums of 2010 compiled by the greatest music fans in the world.  (AKA MMJ Forum Members)"


"Im down for this. I do it every year on another site, and the system they use over there is pretty cool. I'll have to double check the exact numbers, but I think each person gets 200 points to divy up between their Top 15 albums, but you can only give a specific album up to 30 points. It works pretty good, plus it factors in just how good some people consider an album as opposed to a lot of people thinking an album is okay but not great

Id do it in January though as opposed to November so everything has actually been released"


So...ahem...let's do this! Top 10 albums of 2010 as calculated based on MMJ forum members favorite 5 albums. We can use some nice round #'s to make it easier.

Original US Release year 2010 (no rereleases,etc)
Long Play (No EP, compilation,etc)
Your top 5 Albums the top 10 albums in total points will be the TOP 10.
Assign a total of 50 points amongst your 5 albums
A maximum of 15 pts. for any one album and a minimum of 1 pt.

So I'll start....

Tame Impala Inner Speaker 10
Drive By Truckers The Big To Do 10
The Black Keys Brothers 12
Spoon Transference 8
Coheed and Cambria Year of the Black Rainbow 10


Ok..so now it's your turn. Post your selections and points by themselves. Then paste in the list, adding any albums w/ points that aren't on the list and distributing any new points onto the score of existing entries.

I still dont like this rule!!  >:(

You give your #1 15 pts, then say #2 12pts, #3 10pts, #4 8pts, #5 5pts...I just dont think that allows you do give enough separation between #1 and say #3. Sure you can give them different totals, but with only 50pts 15 max feels restricting. I dont like restrictions

[johnnYYac]

Forgive my ignorance.  What do the points mean? 

[capt. scotty]

Forgive my ignorance.  What do the points mean?

It basically says in the first post, rank your top 5 albums of 2010 and give them points (15pt max per album, 50pts total over all 5).

The original thread didnt transfer over from the old forum so the Top 10 composite totals dont add up just from what you see here though since some people's posts are in this thread on the new board.

We've got a little Wolf People thread within a thread, up in Currently Listening To.  Great new discovery, early prog rock with major psychedelic overtones, crazy cool.
