For The Beatles, I will do a top x song list (number dependent on how many songs pass a certain threshold of points), along with however many albums get at least a single vote. Everyone should vote in this topic up to their top 25 songs and top 10 albums (note that you can choose to vote for less so...

Reminder that this is the last day to submit a list. I will probably begin the presentation sometime tomorrow, doing albums one day then songs the next. Note, however, that I will delay the poll results if someone needs an extra day or two; you just need to tell me. The race for the top song spot ha...

BleuPanda, "Waitin' Around to Die" seems to be doing well anyway, but as the nominator of this song I suggest that you take his improved 1969 version in the Spotify playlist if it moves to the next round. http://open.spotify.com/track/0JVFQYXzdaqFhLntSZKyq8 I have fixed it for this week a...

I added Miller's Crossing to my list above.

Caught.

For the first time since the first generation, I have completed a Pokedex (sans event Pokemon). Aurorus brought me to 713 Pokemon in Omega Ruby; 8 event Pokemon remain, but the games themselves don't count them toward the total.

We're currently at 22 lists received with 7ish days left to vote; for Radiohead we received 35. Hope we can get to 25 :( Let's hope people are holding out until the last day. Also, if anyone is planning to submit but needs extra time, just tell me. I'd rather delay the results a bit if it means mor...

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm Pearl Jam - Black I'm so, so happy to see Follow Your Arrow get so much attention here, but it's unfortunately run up against a song that deserves much better than #5971. "Black" not being on the same level as "Jeremy" or "Alive" has ...

Sorry about the late update; I got into a writing groove (12 pages in 3 hours!) and lost track of time. The rules are simple: vote for your favorite in each match below. The winner will move to the next round. The deadline to vote is Thursday, August 4th at 8 P.M. CST. Please listen to these tracks ...

Also, is there anything that we're particularly waiting for to start this process? I'd be willing to run a post-rock mini-tournament starting as soon as tomorrow, if there are no objections. (I'd use the 21 ranked albums from the big list, and then allow users to submit nominations for the remainin...

Please note that the title of this thread is "albums and songs which don't CONNECT WITH YOU." I have departed from the title by discussing artists rather than albums and songs. My interest in providing my list is not to defend my lack of connection as being correct in any objective manner...

I think all of those bands are pretty popular. Just because they don't have the biggest radio hits doesn't mean they don't have a larger fan base. Kanye West, Nirvana, and Kendrick Lamar are incredibly popular, and I don't believe I've ever met anyone who doesn't at least recognize Bjork. The other ...

BleuPanda

This is hard for me, since I find it comes down to simply not caring for their genre. Eric Clapton has always been the obvious one for me - outside of his work with Cream, I've found most of his work boring. His work seems to put technique above everything else, and though he's obviously an outstand...

BleuPanda

It's been a while since we had one of these, and I've been wanting to discuss this artist with somebody (since my real-life friends immediately lose interest when I describe what exactly John Zorn is...). John Zorn was only a recent discovery of mine, after I noticed sonofsamiam mention him in a top...

I've always been a fan of the Battle Royale premise in its many forms. The original easily remains among my top, but some of the writing choices still bother me. It's fun to essentially get in everyone's head, but it came up in some strange directions, such as a character who is forgotten until one ...

BleuPanda

In the context of most representative song, do they really have one? The Velvet Underground is one of those great bands that go through many different phases. We've mentioned three songs from VU&N, but do any of those songs really represent the same band that made Loaded? I'd say "Sweet Jan...

BleuPanda

I also feel that Henrik tinkers with the formula every now and then, which can also help make the changes unpredictable; or perhaps he doesn't, and the changes I think are from such tinkering are by coincidence (such as the nearly universal decline or rise of albums from the 2000s onward in certain ...

BleuPanda

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call
Arthur Russell - World of Echo
Julee Cruise - Floating into the Night

I'll need to get around to both albums in the fourth match.

BleuPanda

"Heroin" has always been my choice, being my #2 all-time song and everything. It captures everything the band does best, and in a way that goes deeper than their usual output. Where most Velvet Underground songs explore the seedier sides of modern living, "Heroin" reaches its hig...

Alternatively, someone could go through and post each ballot as listed in the spreadsheet.

I was always amazed at how poorly Spirited Away performed last time around. Good to see it in its rightful place.

59. The New World Highly recommended! That last category is the most important, but it also relies on the strength of the other 3. What I think the typical 'Oscar Bait' films do is put their emphasis almost entirely on the narrative. The problem is, there are so many films that put a lot of emphasi...

It appears my top 4 all made the top 5, so I can't say I disagree with these final placements. The top ranked film I haven't yet watched is The Best of Youth; I really need to find a nice weekend to get around to it. Top 10 I haven't seen: 17. The Best of Youth 27. The Assassination of Jesse James b...

I want to thank everyone for being so friendly and welcoming. It is much appreciated. It makes me feel like my past fears were unsubstantiated. I enjoyed reading everyone's posts. My only regret is that I did not get to post more. I hope to participate in other polls that are newly formed. Nice job...

BleuPanda

Thanks for the lists, Nassim! And, if anyone's dying to do a genre not featured there, we can simply stop with the top 32 (or if we agree, cut out the top albums if they're too familiar). Just note that I likely won't start this until we're done with the second round of Overlooked, since I don't wan...

Yes, all the bands are missing the word 'the,' which I believe Jimmy did to make it unified (some people write 'The Beatles,' some write 'Beatles, The,' and others even just write 'Beatles'). That's one of those tricky things about these polls; the automated method I used requires everyone's names t...

If we could stop referring to new members as "lurkers" that would be great. Serious question here. Why? As far as I know, a lurker is someone who frequents a forum without posting, which would describe the new users. There's no negative connotation at all. And to add to that, I'm not refe...
