Here we are...the final rankings. 74 voters participated. Thank you everyone!
How the scores were calculated: Basically, it's simply an average of the rank voters gave the album. So the lower the average, the better the score...kinda like golf.
As everyone guessed, 1, 2, and 3 are no surprise.
Rank - Album - Score
01 - Achtung Baby - 1.58
02 - Joshua Tree - 2.74
03 - Unforgettable Fire - 4.69
04 - Zooropa - 5.82
05 - POP - 5.82
06 - NLOTH - 6.20
07 - ATYCLB - 7.32
08 - Boy - 7.59
09 - War - 7.93
10 - Rattle & Hum - 8.95
11 - HTDAAB - 9.32
12 - October - 10.07
Zoo and Pop were surprisingly tied. However, as a tie-breaker, Zoo "wins" 4th place because it got more number 1 votes than Pop (by a slim 4-3 margin).
Below are the albums that received a "number 1" vote. If it's not listed, it didn't get any:
Album - No. 1 Votes
Achtung Baby - 46
Joshua Tree - 15
Zooropa - 4
Unforgettable Fire - 3
POP - 3
ATYCLB - 2
NLOTH - 1
The only surprise to me is how fans view October. It received, by far, the most "worst" votes (yes, I know that "worst" is subjective to the forum). Here are the albums that got a "worst" (number 12) vote:
Album|No. 12 Votes
October - 29
HTDAAB - 18
Rattle & Hum - 9
Pop - 6
ATYCLB - 5
War - 3
NLOTH - 2
Unforgettable Fire - 1
Boy - 1
Also, a fun little fact...not one single person ranked the albums in the exact way that the poll ended. Not even close.
Anyway, there you have it...the fans have spoken. I am keeping all the stats, so if anyone wants to see something specific, just let me know.
Thanks again everyone! And, again, sorry for the delay in getting the results out.
