For example: When it is our turn, Tyson will pick a NICKELBACK album, and I will pick a SOUNDGARDEN album. Everyone will listen to both, then comment on how Tyson's pick sucked donkey balls, and mine rocked. A poll will be conducted at the end of the week, I will win, and my pick will be judged along with others at the end of the season to see who had the best album. Tyson will cry in foetal position for a solid two weeks, and the world will experience peace and happiness for a short time.


Any other questions?
Awesome. You had me at Tyson crying.

It was pretty ambiguous

I guess I could've explained it better.

Though I can't imagine how it could speed things up if everyone submitted two albums each week for twenty weeks.

I'm calling it in about 24 hours.

Anyone who wants in after I've posted the list needs to wait until I find a partner for them. Then that duo will be on the bottom.

I'm in, but if we're starting over the weekend then don't include me in round 1, as I'll be largely away until Tuesday.

Also, Mog and Tyson:

This is album of the WEEK, not the WEAK. Leave your weak feud at the door of the thread. Tyson and I have pretty much given it a rest, you should too.

Fine. Fucker. I will always hate that bastard but for crow's sake I will play nice.

Not a problem, dude.

I'll be randomising the duos and the rounds. If Mog and Tyson are paired, there's little I can do about that.

Except laugh.

If I get paired with Tyson I'm out that week. If someone drops I will fill in.

I think you have a one in nine chance at this point, so I wouldn't be too worried.

Actually Fuck it doesn't matter who I go up against I am the most hated person on this forum. I don't care what you bitches think. I am using this as a vehicle to expose the lurkers to good music that isn't Tool.

I was just about to say, I would've thought you'd relish the opportunity to beat Tyson at something competitive.

It might be a hard sell if you choose a sludge/stoner/doom album, though. Not many fans of that stuff here.

Interesting to see where this competitive type of album selection will lead, I'm worried most will pander to the crowd.

I agree. Maybe there need to be some criteria as what can be submitted.

This is still supposed to be about new or unknown artists, rather than just a Aenima vs Blood Sugar Sex Magic type thing?

Of course. I assumed people wouldn't pick "LATERALUS" and leave it at that.

Let's lay down some tentative rules together.

One I would propose is that it has to be no older than twelve months old.

Also, the band or artist can't have more than three LPs to their name.

What else?

I agree with above said rules, though it wouldn't bother me if there were a bigger window than the last 12 months. 3 years I think would be fine.

Easy, If I like it it's allowed, if not it's not.

It the democratic thing to do.

Or if you want to go really wild, if more than 4 - 5 members have heard the album before it's scratched.

That leaves me out, all the albums I've got in my head are from great bands most haven't heard of.

This may have one fatal flaw in that most here are predisposed to choose a metal/rock genre and if someone chooses something outside that it will already be at a disadvantage.

That whole time limit thing makes no sense, we discuss music here all the time, hot bands will get listened too and discussed i.e. deafheaven
