Wasn't there this......series of polls or whatever, which were related to the '70s and '80s?

And I think Doolittle won in the '80s one?

sorry, I'd forgotten 🫢

feel the same way as Jackwc about the 50s tbh.

But hey, we can have one again. 😄 (And this time, Beefheart will win! 🤣 )

Hmm.... 🤔 I mean, surely some people will be able to come up with at least 64 great albums from the '50s?

Post-Punk/New Wave tournament

2000s Tournament

New Zealand Tournament (we need it!)

Female Artist Tournament

Origins Tournament - eg. Manchester vs Brisbane, New York vs Paris

With the teaching load I have, I wouldn't be able to do a great tournament but I might start one soon.

What about Motown? Although if you did that you would have to do songs rather than albums (just cause Motown is more song based than 'album'). I would also say that the same may be true for some Jazz as well...

If we did a genre that we don't often talk about here, it might pull in a set of people that aren't normally here as well. That's why I thought maybe something from outside the broad 'rock' genre that we debate a lot here. At the risk of listing everything, there's soul, r&b, blues, country, new age, classical, jazz, reggae/dub, avant garde, etc. Or we could have a theme e.g. singer/songwriter, instrumental, female artists etc.

I don't think prog rock is being discussed a lot here...

You know, apart from Pink Floyd.

Anyway, I think the '50s is an underrated decade, so it deserves its tourney.

I don't feel many people would have much investment in it.

😁 Well, then, I think there should be a double album tourney.

Or a '50s albums tourney.

Has there been a "Double Album" tourney yet? 🤔
