Don't you guys think I'll have tortured you enough by the time the #1 album is unveiled?

I'm envisioning some similarly hilarious reactions and commentary. Plus, more outsiders will be attracted to the thread if it appears to be busy.
I assumed we were talking about you posting each person's list without the name attached and we guessed whose it was, at the same time you were releasing the final results one album at a time.
It's not a bad idea. My issue is that it'll drag things out to nearly absurd levels.
Damn, I've just been confused through this whole thread, haven't I?
I think ElMel should pick who he thinks has the best list and that person gets a prize. Like a personally embroidered bathrobe or somethin'.
Okay, I'm confused (surprise, surprise) - ElMel, you said something about "anonymous voting" that threw me off. What's the voting aspect?

Or am I missing a piece and there's going to be some sort of voting involved?
The voting aspect is putting together your own lists for future tallying.
... you mean the lists we already submitted? The "future tallying" is throwing me off.
.... or should I just shut up, go away and just wait to see what happens?
I thought we were talking about you posting everyone's lists as they are submitted to you (but not including anyone's names) and then a final list.
You give me the lists. I give them points based on their placement. I tally up the points and, based on the sum, the album will be given its spot in the top 100, or not at all, if the sum is negligible.
Yes, and I already said I didn't want to do that. What am I missing here?
Okay that's fine if you don't want to do that. I just don't understand why you said it would prolong things. It's not like you have to wait until everyone's lists have been guessed correctly before posting the final list! Unless like I said earlier, we are talking about 2 different things.
Unless ElMel also wants to be like The Scientist, I'd rather prefer if first the Top 100 is posted. Then, kinda as an appendix, individual lists can be posted. Don't move the focus on the individual lists (which will happen if you post those first), but on the Top 100.
But I want to get a little extra mileage out of that if I can.
He's gonna make everyone tear their hair out waiting for the top albums.

I'd give permission for mine to be posted....
Anonymity might be the way to go, in case some folk get sensitive about their taste. It might make it a wee bit of fun guessing who's list is who's.
The anonymity thing won't work if anyone knows anyone well enough.
I'll see a Gin Blossoms album and know it can only be intedomine or something.
Your list = Werringtonian Democracy
( and perhaps Khan can be so kind as to add it to the original post when the festivities have concluded)
The reason for reordering is that every list will be run through an alphabetizer so I can add up each album's totals more easily. However, if it starts Album - Artist or has a number at the beginning, it won't be alphabetized properly. Similarly, a " : " is ordered differently than a " - " would be, so there cannot be any colons, which I've already seen on at least two lists.
it's make like a tree and leave, you idiot! you sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!How about you make like a tree and get out of here, Elfa?
I don't want to make the mistake of disliking the wrong person because of their poor music tastes. Come on now, I'm classy like that.
