And not to be an asshole, but if Document gets only one song in this thing, I am going to encourage everyone to boycott the Survivor until it gets rectified.
Oh, this better not be the deciding poll for the fucking song count.
Cancel that shit right now. We need to do an album survivor first instead of this.

Plus, if you have 9 albums tied with 0 votes, how the fuck is that going to work?
I'm letting this run until there's a clear consensus.
Around the Sun, Green, and Accelerate are just bottom tier. One song.
You'll have a MacPhisto mad at you.
Seriously, let's do a normal survivor.
Dude, at least admit you're in the minority. Most people don't think it's a very good album.
I'm trying to be objective and not just rank my favs.
I have an idea. Let's be a little brave and just agree that Reveal, Around the Sun, Green, and Accelerate are just bottom tier. One song.
I'm not a fan of Reckoning, but I know it has its supporters. Give that and Fables and maybe Out of Time 2 songs, along with Monster and Up, which I love but it ain't a masterpiece.
The rest get 4.
Was that so hard?
I agree with your assessment. As far as I've observed, it generally breaks down like this:
1. Automatic
2. Lifes Rich Pageant
3. Murmur
4. New Adventures
--------------------
5. Document
6. Fables
7. Reckoning
8. Out Of Time
9. Up
10. Monster
--------------------
11. Accelerate
12. Green
13. Reveal
14. Around The Sun
Yeah, I shouldn't have rushed to give my vote to Automatic, seeing how many votes it has right now. If I could redo it, I'd lob the birdie over to Document. The first R.E.M. album I bought, and still a favorite. Alas. I think we will survive. There's a good chance the sun will rise tomorrow morning. And, as a wiser man than me once said...
"Oh, the weather outside is weather!"
I really think Document should be bumped up into that top tier. It's fucking SEMINAL.
Also #5 on Rolling Stones Top 100 albums of the 80's?
Come on.
The two singles alone are two of their biggest tracks, and Finest Worksong? Forget about it.
Best opening 4 tracks of any album I can think of, too, at least in their discography.
Too bad we can't do multiple choice polls here, because you could ask people do pick their top 3 and then tabulate it like that.
I mean, you don't want to force a tiered ranking on everyone, but I think as objectively as we can be, it's going to be better than what this poll is shaping up to be.

What we could do is have people PM you a shortlist like that, so there's no strategizing. You tabulate and then just print the results.
there is an option when you set up a poll to allow more than one choice, I don't think you can set the number though, so some idiot could vote for all the albums if they wanted to.
Should we make a poll about the distribution options?
