That was not asked. I asked about dropping the number from 5 to 4 per poll.

Doh! Well then we are of one accord... 🤣

I think it was asked if more should be included... if you do so, you are spreading votes even thinner.

It seems warranted, given the low vote count.

Also, is it possible to have links to both the poll and the chart being discussed included in the first post of these threads? I have to go hunting for them, unless there’s something I’m missing...

The reason I haven't linked the charts is because if people update them after the vote starts, I don't want others to reference the new version. So that folks can know exactly what they're voting for, charts are locked in at the time I post a poll.

It's rare for people to go back to these poll threads after the polls close, but here's how to find every thread related to the game if you want:

That's the fear I have for my list and a reason I'm having it bumped... it's just not the jam people want for this game. Most want something new. I could offer a classical list, but I think that'd also not what people are looking for. Most want the hot new shit or old deep digs and experiencing a "canon" classic again as if it's the first time or having an open discussion why those albums are so highly regarded seems to be less interesting for most peeps. Could be wrong... dunno.

You could select 10 U2 albums: just joking Seth 😉

Also, it's interesting to see how dramatically saltysurprise's chart has changed since the start of Get To Know A Top 10. In my opinion, it's great and has improved a lot. However, I haven't voted for it, because I already know all ten albums, and I imagine some others are in the same boat.

Users who have never been featured are going to be ahead of second entries in the queue regardless, for the sake of consistency. I will bump you to the back of the new users queue though, seeing as you're occupied with other stuff at the moment. The list is in no risk of dying now.

Sounds good.

I'll keep it on there if you don't get a submission from Jimmy. If he submits one to you, feel free to bump his to my spot and he can go before me. I'll keep it on there to keep the list from dying. I'm nearly done with a phase of all my projects, so once one of them finishes, I can easily swap to this project.

Fair enough. I did love your folk list/convo though and dug what you wrote about.

And maybe I can put some other things of mine on hold to catch up on this game if preferred. I mean this is a few months from now I wager it'd even come to fruition.

Also pretty cool this has been running for 8 months now!

Kind of you to say Seth, but frankly I’d struggle to find the time to comment on my own picks and in retrospect that’s likely why my folk selections didn’t get a lot of attention. I’ll probably pass and hide any recs in my diary for the time being (or perhaps spin ‘em in Plug.dj)

That would be cool. How about this for a repeat rule? Anyone can submit a second chart for Get To Know A Top 10, but any charts from those who have not already gone will leap past second charts to the front of the queue as they are submitted for consideration.

You can totally replace mine with Jimmy's. His charts I'm sure would be way more interesting for people in this forum to talk about than mine. And I've felt guilty for not participating much with this due to 3 other revolving projects I have right now (revisiting my 2011 iTunes collection... hahaha, and then my music history project and canon stuffs).

Well in all honesty... I would throw my Top 50 of 2015. That would have new albums to talk about.

No worries, it's optional. And year charts aren't eligible anyway.

(1) Voted for Anti since there are several albums I need to listen to as well as would like to revisit some of these albums again like Blonde.

Went with Revolver, but I'm cool with Lowkey getting it too. There's some gems in both their top 10s that I hope people get an opportunity to give a spin.

I'll throw this into the ring: The Strange, The Obscure, The Great by Hayden

... but I'll probably change 2 or 3 of the top 10 by then.

Being said, I was pretty happy with the turnout for my thread, and I want others to get a shot before me. Can't believe it was nearly a year ago.
