Heres how I envision it

Every ranking equals a certain number of points. In general the ranking would be 10 points for firsts place, 9 for second, 8 for third etc. You can change the scale if you want to emphasize poster overlap. For example the scale could be 20 points for first, 19 for second, 18 for third. This means a choice that is ranked 9th or 10th by two posters would come in ahead of someone's number one choice if that poster was the only one to list that particular album. The higher up the scale the more overlap is represented- this prevents inexplicable crap from making it onto the list but also would mean the list is really boring and alot of interesting choices from people who post a lot would be left off.

Since Khar is doing this I imagine he won't want to use a scale thats too high but hopefully he won't be too selfish :-) We could also score according to different scales- do one at 10-1, one at 15-6 one at 20-11.

There are about a million other variable you can throw in: emphasize the ranking (spread out the points). Let the rankings be more subjective (posters get to list 10 albums each assigned any score so long as the scores average to the midrange) etc. None of that is too important though. The main thing is to find the right scale so lists aren't random but also allow minority opinions in. The answer sort of depends on how many people post.

This is now entering tl;dr territory so I just say score the rankings on a scale of 15-6 (or similar scale depending on how long each person's list is) and see what happens. We can always try it with a different scale.

People can include more than one album from the same band but the list will be more interesting to read if you don't (maybe keep it limited to two per band?)

Also, each persons list CAN'T be 100 albums or this will be impossible. I'd say Top 20 but its up to Khar.

Johnny C:
Tommy.

Black metal is the future of music.

thepugs:
I think it's funny that nobody here mentions death metal.  I like it, guys!  In Flames is actually not that bad!

jcknbl:
Er, I was actually of the opinion that all the black metal albums would be dropped from the list. Indie still pretty much dominates this forum. Remember Battle of the Bands?
