This.

Also, I have no interest in a tournament where one person picks all the contenders. It's just dumb.

I don't see the problem. Let the guy run a tournament if he wants. I voted for "Kid A", quite an easy choice.

This. My finger went to vote and then I realized what was happening. Also the heat system here is ... mmm ... strange to me.

Well, to be fair the OP had about 10 heats prepared. The problem was that he tried to start all of them at the same time. He was trying to balance out the picks I'm sure. So he didn't just pick only these ten albums.

Alright, that makes much more sense, please excuse my former posts.

Also I gave in and voted Ravedeath, 1972, but then I saw that Age of Adz is on here, but I like them both anyways so its cool.

The Moon And Antarctica is my highest ranked album out of these, but I'm going with Halcyon Digest. Been on a massive Deerhunter kick lately.

I've actually been meaning to check it out, I've really liked what I've heard from him.

But you have to admit, it's an off the cuff pick to include in a poll that's restricted to only 10 albums, with it being not the most popular, nor the most acclaimed.

Well it doesn't deserve to be ranked that low, just like there's a ton of albums in 2013 that really don't deserve to be ranked where they are. Bad As Me is great.

I haven't heard it so I can't speak to its quality, but it just seems incredibly strange to me to put an album ranked 233 for the last 3 years, into a best album of the last 13 years poll, while not including countless others.

What's wrong with the Waits album? Seriously, when was the last time Waits made a bad album? It's not Rain Dogs, but it's a hell of a lot better than most of the stuff in the poll.

Ok, so here's the thing. We'll leave this one open for now, so it's fair game for discussion if anybody wants to have one and maybe in a few days we'll be ready to move on to round 2. I've already PM'd Behrus and left a very nice and cordial message and we'll probably find out shortly enough if he's commited enough to run this thing properly or if it'll fall to the wayside like failed games of yore (or lore or whatever.)

Is the rule still that you have to listen to all the albums before you vote? Because, each group is a whole day worth of listening if you haven't heard most of them before.

LOL, the Moon and Antarctica is literally one place above Kid A in my chart. I voted for it though, as it probably needs the most help.

I started sth like this before and it was unfinished.now we do it just for albums since 2000.Then the winners of 10 groups will go to the final round.I try to add albums that forum users would vote.so there should not be all albums from the top 100 of 2000's and like that.So this is Group 1
