Album Nomination Game -- OUR CHAMPION
« on: 04 May 2009, 13:05 »
With all the votes tallied, our champion is revealed!



By ONE vote! Well done indeed, folks!



I double-counted. There was one person who voted for Mr. D that I didn't count, seeing as how BOTH choices were Mr. D.

Link to the full, final brackets here.

Thanks everyone who participated. This was a lot of fun to do! I'm sure I made a mistake here or there, but when I'm dealing with so many people and so many albums, can you blame me? If anyone is really interested in how I captured every vote, I am happy to provide a zip file of all my spreadsheets. (Although do you really care that much?)

Anyway, great job people!

Not the greatest album ever, just the album the most people like.

I don't even know what the result is because my computer is being slow, but I am so disappointed in all of you.

...Did I forget to vote? I'm pretty sure I voted for the Dylan record in every single round.

Matt -

I wish I would have returned to the forum sooner and could have participated in more than the final round. This seems like it was a lot of fun, good on you for taking the time to do it!

Yeah, props to Matt for pulling all this together.  I wish I was half as good at Excel as you are.

Yeah, I should've wrote that I was actually abstaining from voting. Sorry for the hassle.

Anyways, Thanks for actually doing that Matt. You're awesome.

Okay everyone, you know what's happening now. Everyone who voted for Kind of Blue, line up against that wall over there.

The good news is that you get to choose whether you're going to be shot in the elbow, or in the kneecap.

I'm happy with this.  I mean, it's not my favourite album ever, but it's up there.  Definitely the Dyan album I like the most.

Good work team.

Go listen if you haven't.

I'm actively rebelling against the search function here, but for those of us to whom this applies, can someone mediafire this? I'll admit I may be the only one who actually HASN't listened to this, but if it's better than Kind Of Blue (according to this forum, anyway) I should probably give it a listen.
