Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Well, God bless Nicolas' boss :-)

I enormously enjoyed reading people's comments in the recent 90'es polls, bu it IS a lot of work. My compromise was to supply comments for my 10 highest ranking albums + a handful others that I felt I had something to say about.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Anthony,

I'm going to send you a new list. Same albums. Same order. But with a few comments.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

I just e-mailed my list. This was -very- difficult -- not so much choosing the albums, as sequencing them. Essentially, the order of my top 25 is pretty much set in stone, but beyond that specific placements beyond their general range could all change on any given day. A valuable exercise, though, and I eagerly await the results. Thanks for taking the initiative on this, Anthony, and a happy new year to everyone here!

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

I've just sent my list : 100 great albums, all killer !

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Anthony, you'll have mine tomorrow by 4 PM

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

french time of course, so it'll be 8 AM in Edmonton

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Since I'm one of four people in the world without a real version of Excel, I shared the file with you as a google doc spreadsheet. Every album is awesome.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

My list is done and sent. It's a bit of a rush job what with the new baby!

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Hope I've still got time -- I should have this in within a few hours.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

a little delay : I'm listening to a great great record I had forgotten. Might be included ion the top 100..
and it's from last year

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

My list is sent
Next : friends (in the flesh), lobster, champagne

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Well kids, December 31st is upon us (already), which means that the deadline for submission is mere hours away (by my clock, there’s a little less than 12 hours to get your list in.) I’m not sure if there’s anyone left out there who has yet to send their list – I’ve heard from everybody that I expected to hear from.

Nicolas’ list represents the 40th list received. Besides being pleasantly surprised by the turnout, I’m also feeling a bit overwhelmed (but in the best way possible) by the mountain of data, figures and comments, and so please allow a couple days (or three, maybe four) for the results to be computed by my trusty C64 – which may need a floppy drive replacement after all’s said and done.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Sent with nine hours to spare. Not nearly as exciting as diffusing a bomb in a James Bond movie.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Midaso- If you liked Marquee Moon you should listen to Gang of Four's "Entertainment!" next if you haven't already. Everybody I've suggested that too after they mentioned Marquee Moon has loved it.

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

I've just sent my list! Hope that you have received, Anthony...

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

C'mon Anthony, if you upgraded to a C128 we could have our lists sooner!

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Well said, Anthony (on the reply to me)! How about I do my comments on each album after you reveal them?

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

I was hoping I'd get to work today and Anthony would surprise me with the top 100 to take the pain away from working on New Years! Oh well..

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Sorry, John.

For anyone else who's biting their nails in anticipation of the poll results, you can relax for a while - the results are still a few days away. Reasons?

1. Still waiting to hear back from a few people regarding errors in their list (and other minutiae.)
2. I'm working on a presentation for the top 100 (which, I might add, looks pretty nice.)

I'm aiming for this Friday (or Saturday.)

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Sounds good. I was just kidding around, I wasn't really expecting you to be done!

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

Thanks John,I've been looking around for that GOF album for a while - I'll be sure to get it within the next 6 months...

Re: 2007/08 AM Forum Top 100 Albums Poll

I'll be happy to do comments on any of my albums that end up on the final list, if you just let me know in advance which ones are those.
