AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Anthony sent me the whole spreadsheet from the poll and I have uploaded it so you all can have a look.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Very cool. Thanks, Anthony and Henrik.

However, I've been playing around with the spreadsheet and I've spotted an error: the Beta Band's Three EPs album is listed twice (once as Three EPs, once as Three Eps). Looks like the actual point total is 206.40, which would put it in the top 200 (#174).

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Great !
Thanks Henrik !
I'm curious to see what 'd have happened if the late lists had been taken into account

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Arrggh.

Y'know, in hindsight, it would've probably been wise to have one of you look over the figures before posting them. (With that amount of data, there was bound to be a miscalculation or oversight somewhere.)

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Umm...found another. There are two lines for Cheap Thrills, one by Janis Joplin, the other by Big Brother (this one doesn't even add up to 100 points, though, so no worries).

Hey, Anthony, you took on a very complicated task, and these are reeeally minor. Don't sweat it--you did a fantastic job.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Highest-ranked album not in AM top 1000:
Belle and Sebastian, TIGERMILK - #206 on poll (207 after 3 EPS correction)

Highest-ranked album not in top 2000:
Julian Cope, PEGGY SUICIDE - #312 (313)

Highest-ranked album not in top 3000:
Jellyfish, SPILT MILK - #313 (314)

Anthony!

Great work! NO need to reconsider any errors. Good work to spot any anyway.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Hey Henrik, I know it takes forever and is really hard work, but do you have any ballpark idea when this year's site update will happen? I'm really curious to see where the 2007 albums rank on the all time list, as well as where the 2005-2006 have moved to after another year.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

I'm quite sure I will not be able to make the next site update before summer. That's the way it is.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Who was it that had Lilys, Trashcan Sinatras, Moose and House of Love on their list. You all have brilliant taste.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

tim
look at the individual lists thread

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Ok, I know how much work it takes.

Are you going to do the 2007 page beforehand like you did with 2006? That's the part I'm most curious about.

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Moose and Trashcan Sinatras were on my list

Re: AM forum all-time albums poll: the spreeadsheet

Bill, see my response to Harold in this thread.
