So, here's an idea.
My friends and I used to do this years ago and it was always great fun for a music-inclined message board community, so I've taken the idea and reappropriated it for all the decade lists coming out.
Step Number 1: We, the Questionable Content Music Board, nominate our favorite albums. Nominate as many albums as you want. If you nominate more than once, your choices are void and you will be barred from voting.
Step Number 2: The votes are tallyed by me and, after being tallyed, turn into a seeding system for a HUGE FUCKING TOURNAMENT. Cutting off at 64 or 128 albums, it becomes an NCAA basketall style tournament.
Step Number 3: I post the matchups in a new thread where you vote in each matchup, making for entertaining surpises (wtf are the Starlight Mints doing in round 4?) and terrific upsets, etcetera. Note: If you don't vote in every matchup, none of your votes count.
Step Number 4: After voting, I tally up each match. Then, in a new thread, disclose the results with myself, my Vice President of Tournament Affairs and a third (hopefully one of you?) doing a running commentary on the matchups. Then, the new matchups are determined, and a new round begins, until we whittle it down to THE DEFINITIVE GREATEST ALBUM OF THE DECADE AS CHOSEN BY YOU, THE QC MUSIC BOARD. Um. Hence the title of this thread? Also, if fail to vote in every match, myself, the VP and our third will ridicule you at the end of the thread and bar you from voting in subsequent rounds.
Are you in? If so, START NOMINATING>
For anyone interested in joining myself and my Vice President of Tournament Affairs in our demented commentary, please say so in your nominations.
Full Disclosure: Each member of the Tournament Council will be able to knock out the lowest seed for an album of their choosing during the seeding process. The council also determines tiebreakers (which is why we need an odd number).
Thanks a lot!
