So, folks, this poll is done. As I stated before, though 2 months only has won with 14 votes, if one combines votes for a longer timeframe than that, such as 3-4 months, then we have 9 votes, clearly indicating that 2 months would be too small a window for plenty of users. I have decided that the 3 ...

Sorry, I've been busy with Easter and other stuff this weekend. I'll try to get back on track Monday. Sorry for the sudden delay of everything.

Also, did you get my blurbs, Bleu?

I'd think The Wizard of Oz is simply too old and therefore less popular and less available. Even Gone with the Wind didn't get more than 13 votes. Back to the Future on the other hand... I know this to be true. Not that many millennials even know who Judy Garland is, much less seen The Wizard of Oz...

Thread bump for final day.

Thread bump for the day.

The previous post was fixed.

JimmyJazz

Bumping this again for the day. I am seriously starting to consider three months. I don't believe that would be a burden on anyone if they already have their ballots, unless they really are impatient about the results.

JimmyJazz

Although 2 months is in the lead so far, there does seem to be users who feel like they need more than that. I have been kicking around 3 months as being a good compromise as far as timeframes go, which would officially leave the results to be unveiled in July. I would like to hear those who voted f...

JimmyJazz

I will just bump this for today in case others who didn't notice want to chime in.

JimmyJazz

I am going to leave this poll open for 5 days until Sunday. I have selected the three reasonable timeframes for this poll to my eyes. I am perfectly fine with just doing two months, but I also want to give timeframe for users who don't always visit and post the forum commonly, but are long-time and ...

JimmyJazz

Is 2 months too small a window for many forumers, though? Or is it just fine? Curious what others have to say about this?

JimmyJazz

So, to restate the question, when do we want to establish a deadline for this poll?

JimmyJazz

I personally think we should just stick with a Top 100 for our users. However, if others wish to do more than a Top 100, than feel free to chime in on this. "Artist polls" like music acts, authors, filmmakers, in my opinion, are better when pared down to just a Top 100. I personally only t...

JimmyJazz

I haven't been on the forum in a while, but I would be really interested in hosting this. I would just need the formula and explanations for it given to me.

JimmyJazz

I know I didn't vote (and, for that record, haven't been on here in a long while, largely because of intense, 24-hour studies), but I was wondering if even people who didn't vote could still write some comments? I would be willing to make a case for nearly any of the, from my eyes, excellent films t...

All really tough choices for me personally: Bubble Man (two masterpieces of 8-bit NES soundtracks, but I am voting for both the underdog and the track from the better soundtrack overall) Home Sweet Home (the Super Mario theme is a classic, of course, but Home Sweet Home has way more character and em...

JimmyJazz

Moved Psychedelic Rock and Glam Rock to Pop-Rock, per luney and Pierre's suggestions. I probably put glam rock in avant-garde due to the likes of Bowie, Reed, and Pop, but upon consideration of Pierre's points, I can the genre belonging in the former category more. With the Beatles, I was thinking o...

JimmyJazz

Bumping this again for any suggestions!

JimmyJazz

Bumping this to get more people to join groups!

JimmyJazz

Impressive stuff, Listy! I was actually curious how you made these? Was wanting to do the same thing for the Top 50 Directors on TheyShootPicturesDon'tThey, actually.

JimmyJazz

Hopefully somebody sees this so we can move on with the poll...?

Probably, I will add them.

JimmyJazz

Just for everyone's reference, here is a link to the Genre Tree thread, where everyone can sort out subgenres as well as chime in for their suggestions. I strongly recommend that members of the groups contribute to the subgenres of their assigned main genre: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/view...

JimmyJazz

Thread bump so hopefully more people offer to contribute to the groups.

JimmyJazz

In the case of the Hip-hop regions, I think we should let members of that group chime in before changing anything just yet. After all, they are the ones who will be selecting the albums to discuss.

JimmyJazz

Made several of Pierre's suggestions: moved punk-rock to Pop-Rock, added chanson etc to World., added drums n bass to Electronic. Regarding the whole "French Pop" point, I am now wondering if it would be a better idea to just scrap "regional" subgenres? Aside from genuine authent...

JimmyJazz

Congrats, Henrik! I always like finding these articles that bring more mainstream exposure to my favorite meta-list websites! As Gucci said, though, hopefully the troll hoards don't pour in because of this. Bizarrely enough, the comment about the high ranking of modern (1980s and onwards) British ac...

JimmyJazz

In the case of subgenres in multiple categories, I am kind of iffy on that concept. I firmly believe that the subgenres need to be established in just one of the categories. Many artists and albums, like say MIA to use the electropop example, fall into several subgenres anyways, so I don't think tha...

JimmyJazz

I literally finished adding all of the genres I could think of for now just as you posted Pierre! Feel free to review the genre placements, and discuss and suggest, of course (that goes for everybody too!).

JimmyJazz

Blues and country definitely work best in the World / Folk category, being that, much like folk, they technically counts as "Roots" music. What does everybody else think?

JimmyJazz

Done and done. As I said, I was just typing out and adding the subgenres as I go along. The tree will be continually revised.

JimmyJazz

In conjunction with the ongoing "Album of the Week" thread started by luney6, I have decided to start this thread to determine what subgenres fall into the seven main genre categories that were decided upon. - Pop-Rock - 2-Tone - Acoustic Rock - Alternative Pop - Alternative Rock - Art Pop...

JimmyJazz

Possibly my confusion with this is trying to determine what subgenres belong in which of the seven main genre categories. If we could have a clear, defined guide for all of the groups as to what can and can't be included in their album picks, it would be immensely helpful. Should I start a new separ...

JimmyJazz

Very well then. I was just trying to make sure that popular artists on this forum don't get too much excessive representation. We don't need Radiohead to get an album two weeks in a row, for example. Same with Bob Dylan and rock and folk. Or Prince with rock and R&B. Or Bowie and the VU with roc...

JimmyJazz

Also, regarding genres, I guess I'm trying to get a sense for what subgenres fall into what categories? Like regarding pop-rock, we factor in indie rock, Britpop, folk rock, hard rock, but not Prog rock or art rock, which fall into Avante-Garde instead? Also, I think it would be good idea to establi...

No, multiple people are allowed in a group.

Ok, then out me down for pop-rock and jazz!

JimmyJazz

Was also kind of hoping that some highly knowledgeable users in certain categories would see this thread, and consider participating in the groups. I'm thinking of folks like Honorio, Pierre, Blanco, Sonofsamiam, Nick, Nassim, Setherex, Listyguy, Dan, Moonbeam, etc. All members who I have found the ...
