Topic: The Definitive Greatest Album of the Decade As Chosen By You, The QC Music Board (Read 34792 times)

I Am Not Amused · « **on:** 25 Aug 2009, 19:20 »

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!

That was sort of a, greatest album of all time thing.

This is going to be harder because I am barely into modern music and can think of only three albums off the top of my head.

Wait, what? Do you mean multiple votes for the same album?

In any event, once this gets cleared up I am so game.

I Am Not Amused · « **Reply #6 on:** 25 Aug 2009, 22:53 »

Clarification on that rule:

Nominate as many albums as you want.

But please do not post multiple times voting for the same albums.

If you want to post again and nominate OTHER albums, that's fine. But don't inflate the vote count for the albums you like by voting for them over and over.

That being said, feel free to begin!

at first I was gonna try and decide which albums these past 10 years have most changed music, but that's kinda lame, and was too hard since there's probably honestly only like 5 of ose in the past 10 that are really worth a damn, and even then they probably weren't that good, just different. so instead I'll just post the albums that I've continually gone back to. the ones with the most staying power. I figure that's a pretty good prerequisite for "greatest album" hell an album can be the most amazing thing since I discovered masturbation but if I only listened to it once or twice then it probably wasn't all that great (tv on the radio's cookie mountian is an example of this. GREAT ALBUM but I really did stop listening to it after like a month.)

- Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary (literally haven't stopeed listening to it since it came out. such a fantastic record)
- Eminem - Marshal Mathers LP (hate on it if you want, but it really is one of the most amazing rap records to ever come out)
- Girl Talk - Feed the Animals (best mixing ever, on par with daft punks alive, and more amusing due to the awesome rap-alt rock pair ups)
- Bomb the Music Industry - Goodbye Cool World (they are amazing)
- Bomb the Music Industry - Get Warmer (did I say these guys are amazing?)
- Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights (probably my favorite album by them)
- Kings of Leon - Because of the Times (they're awesome! why aren't they catching on in America as much as everywhere else?)
- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder (woooo!)
- The Aquabats - Myths, Legends, and Other Amazing Adventures Vol. 2 (the Kings of sticking with ridiculous conepts at their best)
- Radiohead - Kid A (not the first cd by them I heard, but probably their most... awesome?)

Well, Botch's American Nervosa is a great record too but it's disqualified due to being too late nineties and We Are The Romans is generally considered the classic so a good place to start. And I never cared for Minus The Bear either. God Bless Your Black Heart is good but I think Now You Are One Of Us was a big improvement, I'm immensely jealous of the lyrical skill on that album.

I'm glad I only made a list of twelve since I've realised some glaring omissions:

Scott Walker - The Drift
The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday
Discordance Axis - The Inalienable Dreamless
