I didn't mean to whine terribly, if that's how my comment has been read. And I'm glad to be proven wrong; I'd rather someone be really happy with the winner than everyone feel vaguely dissatisfied. And you know, maybe I was just being a sore loser or something. I would love to do this again, though, either way.

Miles Davis- Kind of Blue

Though these are both only "very good" albums. There were plenty of "excellent" and/or "perfect/almost perfect" on the list, but most of them got voted out pretty early on. Too bad.

You mean Graceland?


Aww, crap, I was trying to be contrary there when it turns out you WERE one of the people other than me that voted for Graceland.

Congratulations, guys. We just became Rolling Stone.

This is the preferable scenario.

With my love for jazz, it's almost mandatory for Kind of Blue to win.

If you love jazz, but still think Kind of Blue deserves to win this, you have not been listening to very good jazz music.

I mean, Kind of Blue is pretty good.  But there are so many better records, even from Miles.

I'm saying if it came down to most genres vs. jazz, I'd probably pick jazz.

But this really isn't a battle of genres, is it?

And would you really pick Kenny G?  And Diana Krall?

Or maybe he just finds the style of Miles Davis better than the style of Bob Dylan on the whole?

Avec's voting method is legit. I like most metal more than I like most punk and so I wouldn't bother trying to pretend that I can choose which album is supposed to be empirically more awesome despite my own preferences either.

It's obviously about preferences.  I'm just saying that the voting should be based on the album, not the genre.  I definitely prefer jazz to folk as a whole, but there's no chance in the world that I would vote for Kind Of Blue over Bringing It All Back Home.

Considering Kind Of Blue is one of my favorite albums ever, I guess I should probably vote for that one.

I think he was just saying "I like Davis's album more than Dylan's album because Davis's album has a style that I enjoy more."


Don't get so down on people about this, man.  It's just a game after all.

Yes but at the end of the game everyone who voted for the losing album will be shot.

That's why I voted for Dylan.

He can't possibly lose to Miles Davis' 3rd best album.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue


Not even his best, but I like it more that all but one of Dylan's album. And this one isn't the one.
