Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

I agree. I was trying to think of other ways to make it more user involved, and had the idea of having the selected "expert users" compile a list of say 25 album picks. All of those album picks go into a database from which they'll be selected at random. This was there's a bit more involvement from the user as to what gets selected but it's totally random. And if 2 or more users nominate the same album, it works like a lottery, it increases the odds of that album being picked.

Hmm, I'm not completely opposed to the idea, but it's more work for everyone involved and probably wouldn't be that different from picking from the charts.
One other thing that could be fun is an additional "community" chart, where any forum user (including non-"experts") could contribute some albums. We could pick from this chart once a week or something.

I like the idea, but does anyone on this site actually fancy themselves as an 'expert'?

I'm an expert when it comes to downing pints. I'm fucking brilliant at it. Even Guinness.

"User Pick of the Day"? I'm not wedded to the name, so other suggestions are welcome.

Maybe Expert isn't the word, but well-listened for sure. I think there's definitely some users like Norman and Error Finn, who have listened to huge amounts of music over a long period of time and have something to offer to the group that many of the younger users would likely appreciate.

Let's keep brainstorming ideas for the name, cause "User Pick of the Day" is really lame. Some more ideas:
Choice Album of the Day (keeps with the AotD naming theme)
User Select
Circle Jerk of the day (mostly kidding... mostly)
The Music Geek's Corner

Given the relative lack of interest in changing the name, I'll just leave it as is. I suppose a descriptive name is better anyway.
On an unrelated note, I'm making a chart to document the UPotD:
User Pick of the Day (03/17 - Present)
I'm using the user's comments in the thread as notes for the chart. If anyone would prefer I not include their comments, please let me know.
