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.

Well, at least we're not Pitchfork, hey?

This is the preferable scenario.

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

Joseph · « **Reply #56 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 18:51 »

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.

Avec · « **Reply #57 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 18:53 »

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

Joseph · « **Reply #58 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 18:58 »

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

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

WriterofAllWrongs · « **Reply #59 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 20:34 »

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

Joseph · « **Reply #60 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 21:08 »

But that also isn't what the vote is about, is it?

Mr Robert Zimmerman.

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.

Joseph · « **Reply #63 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 22:04 »

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.

Will · « **Reply #64 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 22:05 »

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

David_Dovey · « **Reply #65 on:** 01 May 2009, 04:14 »

NO THAT IS A SILLY CRITERIA

Will · « **Reply #66 on:** 01 May 2009, 07:31 »

OK FINE THEN. I VOTE FOR NICKELBACK!!

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.

Inlander · « **Reply #68 on:** 01 May 2009, 19:54 »

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

David_Dovey · « **Reply #69 on:** 01 May 2009, 20:18 »

And that is why I abstained!

Dazed · « **Reply #70 on:** 01 May 2009, 20:37 »

That's why I voted for Dylan.

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

I don't want to die oh god.

Inlander · « **Reply #71 on:** 01 May 2009, 20:58 »

Don't worry, it won't be a lethal gunshot wound, just a permanently debilitating one.

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.

benji · « **Reply #74 on:** 04 May 2009, 06:40 »

Miles Davis
