There, <span style="font-style: italic">Lazy Line Painter Jane</span> was ranked in the top third of most lists that included it, but it only ended up 8/11 in the final rankings. Similarly, in the Cure rankings, <span style="font-style: italic">Standing on a Beach</span> was ranked high by almost everyone who ranked it, but it ended up 10/16 in the final rankings.<br /> <br /> EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't mean this as a complaint. I think you're doing a great job with these rankings so far and I'm much appreciative of the work you put into it. https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=383294#383294 Anonymous Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:32:46 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=383294#383294 https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=383290#383290 Author: <a href='https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=25885'>meccalecca</a><br /><br /> Posted: 03/10/2015 17:14<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Where's Keith at?<br /> <br /> <br /> Seeing all of the different rankings of Lows discog, it's crystal clear that Low is one of the most consistently incredible bands. https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=383290#383290 meccalecca Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:14:26 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=383290#383290 https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=383289#383289 Author: <a href='https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=-1'>Anonymous</a><br /><br /> Posted: 03/10/2015 17:06<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> </span><table class="bbquote-container"><tr> <td class="text-left"><strong>sp4cetiger wrote:</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bbquote">Yeah, the basic idea is that you rank by average percentile.
