Boardsies Decide The Greatest Music Album Of All-Time

    Greetings travellers,

    So we have lots of different things happening on the Forum Games section of Boards and I have this thing I'm running and I thought I'd let those unfamiliar with Forum Games know as it's to do with music:

    People send me their top 10 favourite albums of all-time via PM in numbered order of preference. Then, with a scoring system ( 10 points for number 1, 9 points for number 9, down to 1 point for number 10 etc.) I will add up the totals and run a countdown of the top 50/100 albums of all-time here on boards according to its members.

    So if you're on-board, PM me your choice of favourite album of all-time or a number of your favourite albums of all-time (top 2, top 3, top 4, top 10-it doesn't matter)-just make sure it's no more than 10 and in numbered order of preference.

    You can also provide reasons for your choices and I will include all or some of those commentaries in the countdown, along with a video of a song from the album, its placings and points total, a list of members who chose it, its chart peak etc.

    I know it's quite hard to decide favourites but it's worth a go, and if all goes to plan, and I get enough contributions, I will do a countdown of the top 50/100 someday in the very distant future. The countdown reveal will be on the Other Forum Games board located here:

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1833

    The reveal/countdown will not be happening for a long time so take your time, there's no rush.

    Remember send me a private message with your top 10 of all-time in numbered order, or alternately, just your favourite album or your top 3 etc.

    Just make sure that whatever you send, it's in numbered order.

    Oh, and no Greatest Hits Albums allowed! I'm looking at you, Alan Partridge.



    Everything else is fair game.

    Thanks in advance for playing.

    It's a good idea, but when is it going to happen. A long time? Does that mean a month? Six months? A year? It's all very cloak and dagger.

    It'll happen when I have enough submissions to do a countdown. So participation would be appreciated.

    What is "enough submissions"?

    This forum tends to be rather low on traffic and people just drop in to share interesting music.

    If you are looking for a high level of feedback, you might just be in the wrong place.

    Well, if there's another thread, there's no need for this here.

    Closing out as we don't want duplication of threads around here pulling discussions across forums.

    Keep'em in the one place.
