    I'll probably introduce a rule: 5 points for each nomination, something along those lines.


  • #58
    Reberetta
    Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    I've decided I will add 6 points for every other nomination after the first one.

    I will be able to do a top 45/46 countdown at this point.

    36 lists submitted now with JohnGreenfan.

    I'll seek to get to 40 lists. So I hope I can get a list from the following posters sometime if you're out there!

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed and appreciate your patience-I realise you've probably thrown away the albums in your top ten at this stage! I will be able to do a decent countdown thanks to you all.:cool:

    Up to 39 contributions, one more needed to reach my target, so continue to send me numbered lists.

    And the way things have worked out, now I can do a top 50 countdown. As Alan Partridge might say-back of the net!

    Didn't think this was a knock out but a countdown based on number of noms?

    Countdown, correct, not a tournament. The more contributions, the better the countdown will be. I hope to get a list from speckle, Plentyohtoole...and quickbeam now too. :D

    We're at 42 contributions currently.

    Scoring system.

    5 Points per nomination and

    1. 10
    2. 9
    3. 8
    4. 7
    5. 6
    6. 5
    7. 4
    8. 3
    9. 2
    10. 1

    If you can't put the top ten in order, just send me a list of ten unnumbered and your pick will get 5 points.

    43 contributors so far, still hope for 2 or 3 more.

    I'm saying you don't have to, but that was the idea from the start. Most have done that already.:)

    I presumed your list was in order of preference, but if it wasn't, that's fine. I think you said it was, if I recall correctly. Long time ago now.

    Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    46 contributions now.

    Just send me an unnumbered list of ten or twenty if you really struggle to narrow it down. Each nomination gets 5 points.

    Closing 7th September 23.59pm. :)

    I've already sent in 10 ages ago, are you saying we can send more? I'm sure I could think of another 10.

    Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    Nah don't you send anymore. It's only an option for the stragglers if they can't narrow it down to ten.

    I know the feeling... I gave up agonizing and just sent a list in, just as long as they are included.. null points will do...it was too heartbreaking to pick such a small amount as each one is dear in its own way.

    I ended up being absolutely ruthless and decided against doubling up on albums from the same band.

    So some faves got left out but at the expense of range.

    yep I did similiar, no live albums, no reissues, no film soundtracks, no classical, no complilations, nothing too recent and no EP's and still I was nearly in tears. That being said the collection at home is quite large to start. But it was an adventure of rediscovering forgotten gems. The last time I re listened to everything was over a decade ago.

    I started with an off the top of my head 53 albums and worked from there.

    Some gems alright that I haven't bothered with in a while. But there's also members in my top 10 that haven't left the rotation ever!
