The Chorus.Fm Users Definitive Albums List • Page 50

If Bruce doesn't win now I'm gonna cry voter fraud for weeks on end and throw a fit anytime someone asks me for evidence

 

(Kendrick being #1 would actually be very dope tho)

 

we mentioned earlier in the thread we would do 75 for first, 25 for 50th

like i said, i have a little more than half the way to go to catch up, so it could shake out closer to this, but this is pretty wildly different than what i have right now. thrice, for example, isn’t remotely close to cracking into the top tier.

 

Nas at #2 has me shook – that album is just okay!!

 

This is my result with 75 for top and for 26 for 50th, bit surprised by first place

Whether Pat's preliminary official ranks or the unofficial ones, I like the mixture.

 

Punisher!

 

Would be happy with Revenge cracking the top 20 and Hotelier at number 1.

 

Kate Bush's Hounds of Love already has more points than what you gave and I'm not even halfway done counting

 

Imagine thinking Illmatic is just “okay”

 

Illmatic is good but Nas is a shitty guy

 

I know that's an unofficial ranking and the real one will look different, but if you had me guess the top 5 ranking hip-hop albums I'd have gotten the first 4 on the first try....and then guessed about 20 before I guessed Madvillain.

That's not a shot or anything. It's awesome. But I had no idea it was held in that kind of esteem until this thread.

 

you're welcome

 

The only issue here is you can't see my points for Orgy

 

i guess 966 out of 1757 albums isn't so bad

 

i’m gonna finish my list. it wouldn’t be shocking but i would be pretty surprised if the top 2 albums as it stands now are not in the top 10 when it’s finished.

 

so you're saying to pimp a butterfly won the popular vote but the hotelier got more electoral college votes huh

 

If the chart is chronological in the order of which the ballots were posted, then it looks like TPAB didn't show up on the last 15 ballots at all, while The Hotelier got five top-10 rankings in that last 15. As the election showed us, the order you count votes in matters! At least in terms of how things can turn out different than they look early on.

Not that surprised The Hotelier is the winner. Definitely seems like the truest "consensus" album we've had around the site in the past decade.

 

the hotelier and carly rae jepson both drew the popular vote, but the hotelier won more electoral college votes

 

If only it were Goodness!

 

It's mad (to me anyway) that there's 2 albums in the top 10 that I hadn't even heard of before this thread.

 

Which two?

 

The Hotelier and Jack's Mannequin. I have since looked them up and given them a listen and understood why I hadn't heard of them haha. Nothing against them, it's just a type of music I have very little interest in.

 

voter fraud!

those albums are very very big on this website/ap haha

i don’t really like or care about either of them
