Album Elimination Game - NOMINATION Thread
Zingoleb:
I'm going to go through my (relatively) limited library and pick out some of my personal favourites (in no particular order).
Graceland gets a special mention, as it is the album that I grew up with.
Paul Simon-Graceland
The Beatles-Abbey Road
Bob Dylan-Blood on the Tracks
Cat Stevens-Tea for the Tillerman
Explosions in the Sky-The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place
Fleetwood Mac-Rumours
Iron & Wine-Our Endless Numbered Days
Pearl Jam-Ten
Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here
The Who-Tommy
Crap, I'm at 12. The two I removed were Mogwai's "Mr Beast" and Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow".

1.American Football-American Football
2.Frightened Rabbit-The Midnight Organ Fight

I compiled the list then, so your edits were captured. If you've (the general you, not rynne specifically) edited your post AFTER mine on 20 March 2009, but it's ABOVE my post, PM me please.

Sorry for the triple-post, but here's the link to the old battle of the bands.
Since that one was done exclusively through the Quiki, I'm going to make my own rules as far as how albums get seeded. Here's what I have so far:
[*]There will be four "brackets", just as in any normal competition.
[*]The albums with the most nominations will be seeded #1 and be placed in each quadrant counter-clockwise, starting from the upper-left.
[*]Albums will continue to be seeded based on number of votes, moving counter-clockwise to fill in the bracket. In the event of a tie, I'll place them alphabetically.
[*]When I get further into the list, there's bound to be a number of albums with 3 or 2 votes each. In including those albums, I was thinking that the number of copies sold would determine that; however, I can't find any website that gives those statistics. (I looked at Wikipedia, All Music and RIAA.com) Any suggestions? If a band has multiple albums nominated, but one album multiple times, I'll pick that over an album that is nominated the same number of times but no other nominees from that band. Does that make sense?
[*]When the bracket is complete, I'll post it here. The way voting will work is you'll vote for your favourite album in each match-up. So in Round 1, you'll give me 32 albums. I'll tally all those, determine the winners of each matchup, fill in the grid more, then round 2 will start. You'll give me 16 albums, and we'll do the whole thing over again until one album has won. I'm terrible at graphic-design, so I'm going to hand-write all this and scan it in.
I'll continue to update everyone on how this is going to work. Wooo! (2.5 hours left to nominate.)
