Album Nomination Game -- ROUND FOUR

(1/15) > >>

mberan42:
Elite Eight!



Full bracket: here

Here's what I noticed from Round Three:
-- Biggest margin of victory: #15 Kind of Blue over #6 Blue Train by 22 votes (also the biggest upset)
-- Closest match: #8 Unknown Pleasures over #12 Happy Songs for Happy People by 5 votes
-- Lowest seeded colour: Yellow, with an average seed of 10.75
-- Highest seeded colour: Blue, with an average seed of 5.25
-- Only ONE first seed left (Low - Things We Lost in the Fire)

Again, you have until 20:00GMT on Monday, 20 April 2009 to vote. (Depending on, as usual, my RL schedule.)

ONE ADDITIONAL POINT OF NOTE - with your vote, please state your preference of a PUBLIC or PRIVATE Final Four and Championship vote.
-- In a PUBLIC vote, we'd do it the exact same way the past four rounds (including this one) have worked.
-- In a PRIVATE vote, everyone would PM me their votes. NO VOTES on the Round Five (Final Four) and Round Six (Championship) pages. My thinking is that people would be more likely to choose their actual favourite album rather than be swayed by the public commentary.

I am not advocating one method over the other - they both have their upsides and downsides. I just want to know everyone's preference.

Thanks,
Matt

BLUE
Dylan

YELLOW
Radiohead

GREEN
Beatles, but I don't like either that much.

RED
Low

And I'm for a private vote.  I think NMH's demise was partially due to a bunch of whiners who didn't want it to win and got other people to vote similarly.

michaelicious:
Blue

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

Yellow

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Green

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Orange

Low - Things We Lost in the Fire


Private vote.

COLOUR 1

COLOUR 2
Miles Davis

COLOUR 3
Abbey Road

COLOUR 4
London Calling

I think this should be a public vote. Otherwise it's just going to be the most boring list thread in the history of list threads. Surely the point of an exercise such as this should be people arguing and debating and disagreeing with each other about how good a particular album is or why it deserves to win or why it deserves to lose - the journey is more interesting than the destination, folks!

rynne:
Sgt. Pepper's…
Unknown Pleasures
Kind of Blue
London Calling

PUBLIC.
