God, so many lists already !!!

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour (on the 28th) because I need to listen to a maximum stuff. If I had to do my list right now I wouldn't even come up with a top 10 !!!

I'm in relatively unknown territory. I'm like most of you guys in the 50's and 60's.

I've been wondering why just 10 songs and albums per year go to the next round, considering that there are years with more than 10 entries in the top 100 and there are others which do not get to 10.

3. American III: A Solitary Man, Johnny Cash
4. The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem
5. Two Against Nature, Steely Dan

10. Solitary Man, Johnny Cash
11. Elevation, U2

18. I Hope You Dance, Lee Ann Womack (Guilty Pleasure)

I came up with the original plan for this, but I have nothing against 200 albums and songs in the final round. I like the idea and in fact I have only considered the top 50 to be definitive in the past, since there's a lot of disagreement about the 51-100 section. There are a lot more people participating now which also kinda makes a change from 100 to 200 appropriate.

If we change to 200, I really think we should continue to rank all the albums and songs we have heard in the final round, and not just our favorite 100.

Petri, I think you are right that if the task is to listen and rank 200 albums and songs, then we will probably have less voters in the final. And that is not an acceptable cost. If we go for something between 100 and 200 we would probably have a more definitive top 100 as a result, but there is also a beauty in round numbers and not changing things along the way so maybe sticking to 100 is best after all?

I'm all for 100, but I'm still sticking to top 10s everywhere despite limits being raised to 20 or more, so what do I know.

Have we come to a decision regarding 100 vs. 200 albums for this decade (or 10 vs. 20 per year)?

I know some of you look at this as the final decade in the series, but I am choosing to see it as the first of the next series (fingers crossed).

I'd be fine either way, but I'm concerned if we expand the field to 200 it would discourage participation in the final ballot. 200 is a more intimidating number of albums to have to rank than 100, although it would open the doors for more obscure albums to qualify.

1) I think we should stick to 100 albums. I don't know the 2000s very well but I don't think the decade is as unbalanced in terms of years quality as the 60's or 70's

2)Another great album to consider : French veteran Henri Salvador's "Chambre avec vue" (Blue Note). great arrangements from bossa to smooth jazz !! Salvador is among the French greats of the 20th century.

It will be in my top 5. Btw Here's my list in progress

Yes, I suggest that we continue in the '00s poll with 100 albums and songs in the final. But next year when we probably do the '90s again we could have perhaps 15 albums from each year and from the 150 pick a definitive top 100. It would be a little more thrilling with the countdown if we then start with 100, 99 and so on, and after a while everyone will start worrying whether their personal favorites will make the top 50 or not the top 100 at all.

As it is now, when the first albums are presented in the final (say 100-80), I'm thinking that those are the albums that shouldn't have been there.

That sounds excitingly list-geekalicious.
