Okay so this didn't happen last year due to Audiophile being dead, but then I realised that having a poll would, like, get more people to post in Audiophile. So alright! Yeah! Let's do this!

THE RULES: post your favourite albums in numbered order up to a maximum of fifty albums, but preferably a minimum of twenty, in the format ALBUM - ARTIST (pleeeeease do so for the sake of my sanity later). If you can't order them by preference, alphabetically/by release date/etc is fine, but the points will still be distributed by their position in your chart. A sample list may look a bit like this:

Bold As Brass - Cliff Richard
Something's Goin' On - Cliff Richard
Silver - Cliff Richard
Wired For Sound - Cliff Richard
Cliff Sings - Cliff Richard
When In Rome - Cliff Richard
Sincerely, Cliff - Cliff Richard
I'm Nearly Famous - Cliff Richard
Listen To Cliff! - Cliff Richard
Green Light - Cliff Richard
Tracks And Grooves - Cliff Richard
When In Spain - Cliff Richard
Cliff At Christmas - Cliff Richard
Real As I Wanna Be - Cliff Richard
Don't Stop Me Now! - Cliff Richard
Established 1958 - Cliff Richard
Stronger - Cliff Richard
Rock n Roll Juvenile - Cliff Richard
The 31st of February Street - Cliff Richard
Public Castration Is A Good Idea - Swans

as the maximum number of albums in a list is fifty, Bold As Brass receives 50 points and every successive entry receives one less (2nd 49 pts, 3rd 48 pts...). A full list of fifty will continue like this up to 1 point for 50th. EPs, Live albums, collaborations, soundtrack albums, etc are all fine, but compilations are out (though if it can be considered an album in its own right, ie Magical Mystery Tour/Singles Going Steady, I'll allow it). There are no limits to the number of albums per artist in your list, unless you choose it to be so.

So post a list today, before the closing date of Sunday March 31st. Tell your friends to post a list. Pimp this thread across the length and breadth of the forum. GET IN HERE

I'll edit mine in here. It would be nice if it actually happened this year, there's been too many of these sort of things that fell off the radar in 2012. Perhaps we should all go on some kind of US military-style recruitment drive or something.

Edit: my list, probably subject to alteration:

2. Crazy On The Weekend - Sunhouse
3. Murmur - REM
4. Heaven Or Las Vegas - The Cocteau Twins
5. Unhalfbricking - Fairport Convention

8. Hootenanny - The Replacements
9. Nowhere - Ride

Indeed. I actually really enjoy doing it, but it can't go ahead without sufficient interest to make a forum-wide list that actually reflects most of the forum's regular posters worthwhile. (I see the absolute minimum as no albums getting in without being on at least two lists, but even then that'd be far below what I'd hope for.) Unfortunately, the only way of accurately gauging interest is throwing it out there and hoping for the best.

I'll post my line after I've finished my Top 666 thread so as not to give the end away for anyone who's actually reading it.

Just a question... does it have to be full-length albums, or are EP's of original material okay?

I'm okay with EPs (I'll edit that into the opening post) - honestly, I prefer to run something like this with as few restrictions as possible so pretty much everything that isn't like a Best Of or similar is okay with me.

So about expanding list sizes. Those of you who want to keep it to twenty it's fine to do so, those want bigger lists what's the upper limit? I'm inclined to say either 40 or 50.

Also, just one other thing since I only remembered Firefox done goofed and stuff like automatic numbered lists are just a big jumble of code now - if you're posting big lists, then it's actually easier for me to count the votes if you actually post it without numbers but in order. (I'd imagine most doing larger lists are doing it up in something like Calc first anyway, so having the correct number of entries shouldn't be a problem.)

I could easily go to 50, obviously. Don't want to go too high to give you too much to count

compilations are out (though if it can be considered an album in its own right, ie Magical Mystery Tour/Singles Going Steady, I'll allow it).

Sorry to be a pain, but what if the compilation is of material by various artists that don't have any easy or obvious album release? Like some of the Mississippi Records compilations, especially Mortika.
