This weekend/week I’m just making cuts and making this happen. I’m excited for the results.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

As of now the lowest number of albums from one person's list to make the Top 300 is 25. The most is 54.

The lowest number of albums from one person's list to make the Top 25 is 1. The most is 11.

No fence for me.
I wasn't going to submit a list.
I’m not ruling it out, but my impact on the top 50 albums overall is going to be minimal if I do.

I’m sending mine over. I can’t figure out how to import an excel spreadsheet. If you need me to resend I’ll try to figure it out

If you look at the numbers (974 different albums selected with 713 of them only appearing on 1 list) most people's lists don't have a huge impact on the Top 50. There's a lot of variety.

I had already received your list and confused you with @Mookie. Sorry about that.

I’d still be interested in seeing your list if you put one together and hearing your thoughts on some of your unique higher ranked albums.

This weekend/week I’m just making cuts and making this happen. I’m excited for the results.

I'm excited to share - the list looks good now. The Top 20 isn't going to shock anyone but perhaps a few surprises.

I think the rest of the list is still wide-open.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

At the end of the television show countdown, people started revealing and commenting on their shows that did not make the Top 300. That will be encouraged here.

Since I'm always looking for the loopholes in the rules, I submit this question:

I have a 4 song "single" that was released on CD in the early 90s that I would like to include. It contained 3 live songs and one remix version of a song which appears on an album, but not the same version. The total time of the recording is a hair over 23 minutes, which is more than half an album.

So for @Dr. Octopus , my question: can I include this album in my list of 70?

It doesn’t sound like an “album” to me, but if you want to submit that’s up to you. I told some one else EPs are fine.

Obviously it’s unlikely to crack the Top 300.

This has gotten away from me. Going to have to throw something together without too much thought. List will probably only be made up of 15-20 bands.

That's mainly how I did the geography and covers countdowns. Whatever came to mind first was what made the list.

I've been a little more meticulous with this one, but not to the extent of what I do for the artist countdowns, which is listen to their entire catalog* in chronological order and rank the songs against each other as I go.

* - for Chicago I stopped after 1980.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

At this point I’m catching a lot of the “mistakes” people make with bands/albums (I.e. “the” before some bands or album titles left off), some even getting words wrong in an album title “everyone” instead of “everybody” (and far worse :cough: tim), but there’s bound to be some mistakes in the Countdown if people don’t make the effort on their end.

I had one where the artist name had to be changed for copyright infringement so I went with the new version but I may have forgotten an umlaut

Can't wait to get to the listening!

You plan on doing a highest ranked not in the top 300 preview?

I'm regretting some of my choices but overall am just happier to have it in. If you just do it, you might be a little chagrined by some choices you made, but forget it. It's not worth any aggravation or stress and you might find you're a lot more fond of certain records than you originally thought (I never would have thought of my number one but it kept beating all the other albums I picked for this exercise (one record per recording artist, unless they qualified both group and solo, of which there were two of those, I think).

I may have to go check out my CD collection that I haven't looked at forever to remember some.

Just pm Shuke if you need some help imo.
