• Facepunch's Top Albums Nominations
    543 replies, posted
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iLymY.jpg[/IMG] This is kind of a spinoff from my top movies thread that ultimately ended up failing, but I learned what works and what doesn't so the process will be different and hopefully more successful this time. I thought this would be pretty interesting to 1) get a general idea of the Facepunch community's music tastes and 2) serve as a simple reference to look at if you want to ask Facepunch for music recommendations [release][h2]How this works:[/h2] Post an album to nominate it in a format similar to this [quote][IMG]http://puu.sh/6fZk[/IMG] [B]Album[/B] by Band[/quote] Then once it gets 5 agrees it'll be added to a Google Forms list for future voting. Unlike the movies thread, negative ratings mean nothing and amount of agrees past 5 don't matter at all. After a week or so of nominations (depending on how many there are) I'll put up the Google Forms page for about week and then count up the results. Depending on how many albums are nominated I'm thinking the list will either be a Top 105 or Top 205 (Top 100/200 + 5 "Hall of Fame" albums that get the most votes). Then I'll probably just rip off the cover grid format 4chan uses for album lists since it seems to be the most effecient system.[/release] [release][h2]Rules (READ THIS BEFORE POSTING)[/h2] -[B]ONLY ONE ALBUM NOMINATION PER POST![/B] -No compilations like "Greatest Hits". Live or Unplugged albums are OK. -Soundtracks are OK as long as they're OSTs -EPs, mixtapes, etc. are also OK -You can nominate as many albums per artist as you want, but only the top two albums chosen from that artist will get added to the list to promote a more diverse list of artists. For example, if album A, B, and C by a certain artist are nominated then all will be put in the Google Form selection but if say A, B, and C get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively then C will be omitted from the list.[/release] [release][h2]Albums currently at 5+ Agrees[/h2] [b]Current album count: 185[/b] (What's The Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis ...And Justice For All by Metallica † by Justice 10,000 Days by Tool 2112 by Rush 90125 by Yes A Night at the Opera by Queen Abbey Road by The Beatles Addicted by The Devin Townsend Project All Things Must Pass by George Harrison American IV: Man Comes Around by Jonny Cash Animals by Pink Floyd Are You Experienced? by The Jimi Hendrix Experience As The Palaces Burn by Lamb of God Back in Black by AC/DC Bastard by Tyler The Creator Bitches Brew by Miles Davis Blackwater Park by Opeth Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan Blue Lines by Massive Attack Boston by Boston Boxer by The National Brothers by The Black Keys By Request Only by Ken Snyder California by Mr. Bungle Classics by Ratatat Close to the Edge by Yes Colors by Between the Buried and Me Comfort Eagle by CAKE Cowboy Bebop by The Seatbelts Crack the Skye by Mastodon Damaged by Black Flag Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd Darkness at the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth Deadwing by Porcupine Tree Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life Deconstruction by Devin Townsend Demon Days by Gorillaz Discovery by Daft Punk Doolittle by Pixies Dopethrone by Electric Wizard Double Nickels on the Dime by Minutemen Duke by Genisis Dummy by Portishead Enter the Chicken by Buckethead and Friends Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan Entroducing by DJ Shadow Exmilitary by Death Grips F♯ A♯ ∞by Godspeed You!

One of the albums that got me into hip-hop. I love those guys.
Looking at OP's picture, I wish we had record stores like that down here, I saw one that was purely records when I was in Washington DC, it was awesome. Best record we place that I know of down here is a damn FYE in the mall...
