Funeral Still Climbing, now on Rank 8

Funeral by Arcade Fire

As you see Funeral is making it's place strong in our top 10.I think It was last year that it was fighting for getting into our top 10.and Made london calling Exit our top 10.It's surely thanks to the reflektor hype but i think it deserves to be there.What do you think ?

I think the top ten would be better if the White Album went out and either London Calling or VU&N went in, so this is a step in the right direction.

Most of The Beatles albums are epic,but 4 albums from them in the top 10 make our chart look a little...I don't know.Anyway still our Chart looks so much better than most charts.

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea or The VU&N would look good in our Top 10

Yeah, even more so, actually. At least compared to the most recent RS list...

Agreed. RS is pretty biased against prog, but ours is biased against hip-hop, jazz, electronica, mostly every other genre that isn't rock, and even prog as well (though to a lesser extent).

Lol. RS's over-reliance on compilations alone makes their list the weaker of the two.

And BEA actually has Doolittle and Loveless in the top 100. That's a big deal.

I've just checked out the "customize overall chart" function and I have come to the conclusion that there need be no great change to the overall. The overall is fine. Keep it exactly as it is. I just put together a way better and more interesting chart by specifying using charts that are only 40 or longer, have been updated in last 12 months, were of level 7 or higher members, had no more than 6 albums by one artist (I realize this could cause trouble with someone with lots of various artists albums being left off.), and didn't take into account recognized charts or something like that (I got the idea it excluded official charts)... And man this chart was great! This sob made my day! It actually had a lot of similarities to our recent BEA regs top 400 (go figure).

So if you want a chart which meets most of the criteria that has been asked for in this thread so far, then go and fuxking make it happen! It's easy!

That sounds cool! Can you post a link to that chart?

I like BEA a lot more. RS's chart discriminates against certain genres, adds less-than-stellar albums to the chart, and bases some of their chart on sales, which is pointless. Although I don't agree with it entirely, BEA's chart by quite a length.

There about 30 (from memory) 'professional' lists and thousands of user lists on BEA. Their effect on the overall chart compared to user charts is minuscule (much less than 1% of the total points on the site). They are only really here because new visitors enjoy browsing them.

Fair enough, guess I overestimated their influence on the overall. 😄

Both have albums I love and hate, Rolling Stone's list lets itself down by the large amount of compilations and there's an apparent bias towards the 60's/70's (Currently working through the Rolling Stone list and every second album appears to be from the 70's), that said the list is a good starting point for getting into music. BEA's Top 500 also as has flaws, new releases can fly up the rankings in no time at all (Reflektor for example), but there's little or no compilations in the top 500 so it benefits there. Currently I probably prefer Rolling Stone's list because it's leading me to a lot of albums outside BEA's top 1000, I've made some really enjoyable discoveries in terms of what I haven't heard before.

To be honest I would really much prefer if publications' charts didn't have anything to do with this website. I like a more user-centric approach, why would we want to have outside sources dictate our chart? So I agree with you on that for sure.

I love your cooking technique. But yeah. I like all of your ideas, especially being able to see albums ranked by country.

to some extent you can do this already by filtering the overall chart. For countries not represented in the overall chart, there's likely to be little/no data to provide any meaningful results.

W/e you do, don't tweeze, shave, or wax it. Feces can get into the open pores and cause infections. Trimming should be fine.

I remember this been discussed in some other thread... The overall BEA chart is fine with me; it is software-generated based on some algorithm that takes into account how many times a particular album appears in certain charts. It sounds fair to me. Of course there is possibly room for improvement and fine tuning on the algorithm.

Not that I'm aware. I'm talking about having charts like this:

http://www.besteveralbums.com/yearstats.php?y=199

except for countries. If I'm being daft and that already exists, then point me in that direction.

EDIT: Okay, I think I see what you're saying. We can make that chart by customizing the overall chart, it appears. I'd still be in favor of making charts by country more readily accessible, but if that's just me then it wouldn't be necessary.
