Through so far:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onto the next round!
Each Monday, I will set up a new round for the contest.
Each round will represent a different decade of albums (I can't check the dates for each album so please make sure yourself).
The decades are below (BOLDED IS THE CURRENT ROUND FOR THIS THREAD):
Round 1 - Up to 1969
Round 2 - 1970-1979
Round 3 - 1980-1989
Round 4 - 1990-1999
Round 5 - 2000-2010
Round 6 - 2010-Present Day
Round 7 - Resurrection Round
Round 8 - The Finals
For each round, please list your top 5 music albums from the decade in list view (album name first, followed by artist).
Please do this by Friday 11:59pm BST (no votes beyond this will be counted).
5th = 2 pts, 4th = 4 pts, 3rd = 6 pts, 2nd = 8 pts, 1st = 10 pts.
The top 5 albums from each round will go through to the finals.
The 6th and 7th album from each round will enter the resurrection round, where 5 albums will go through to the final.
In the event of a tie, I will refer to their AllMusic scores (and then the amount of scores if still a tie).
If you have voted, then changed your vote, please don't edit your vote... instead, reply to it and let me know by tagging me, otherwise I may miss your vote by accident.
I will try to start each new round on the Monday after a vote round has finished.
At the opening post of each round, I will put in the results from the previous round and start the voting of the current round.
Once rounds 1-7 are complete, we head into the final round with 35 albums on the shortlist.
Then once that voting is done, I will post the top 35 in order from last to first and crown the overall winner.
Remember, I have 2 kids and a full time job so there may be times where I miss deadlines or post later than anticipated. Apologies in advance.
I hope this is fun and you guys enjoy it.
