Chart talk

Anonymous · 2013-05-18T12:18:47-04:00

Just thought to create a thread where everyone can discuss about user charts in this site. Personally I created a little Top 10 overall chart a couple of months ago, had some unexpectedly positive feedback and while I am not sure if I will change it in the future I deleted it so that my new one would be extended to 50 entries. This doesn't make much sense, I know, but I'm seriously rediscovering 10-15 albums I have not yet rated and ranked in my overall "Albums I have listened to" list and it's possible to have at least one new entry to this Top 10 of mine, so Urban Hymns will be kicked out or not... Still, I had to do it to make this necessary extension of my chart in the future.

aaaaaaand commented, definitely a lot to be explored. I might make my own (alongside soul, power metal, etc.) when I decide what I'm doing for my first custom chart haha.

A couple of those artists already are represented by the chart (van Zandt, Steve Earle), and a few of them aren't to my tastes particularly for whatever reason (Yonder Mountain String Band, Cowboy Junkies, Mary Chapin Carpenter), but I'll be sure to check out what I don't already know and perhaps reevaluate some of that I do. Thanks for the recs.

Thus the issues with skim-reading, haha, it's been a long day. I'm surprised that YMSB aren't particular to you since you seem to like progressive bluegrass enough to mention it and Elevation is one of the best representations today of that.

Glad to be of help at any rate.

Finished my 2011 chart earlier today if anyone is interested in taking a look at it

I would recommend that if you guys want to hear the better side of country that you explore artists like Ray Wylie Hubbard and James McMurtry.

Youtube has a decent amount of videos from both artists. But I would start here:

Both those answers are too easy though. It's looking at this all too simply. There are albums you would like to see. Just pick albums already. 😨

So yeah, which albums do you think will work well?

Patman is famous because he's cool.

Ah, but people do know he has the numero uno chart here, so he is partially famous for that. But Patman is probably the coolest guy on the threads.

You guys just made my day. 🫢

Really doesn't bother me where my charts are though, I was just trying to do something that's fun! 😄

I'm making lists of albums of genres that I want to hear.

Christian
grunge
Southern rock
Wagnerian rock

I'm open to recs for these genres, especially the Christian rock chart which needs more bands.

For Christian Rock, you have to sample Petra and Stryper. They were the Metallica and Kiss (respectively) of Christian music in the 80's.

More Power To Ya by Petra

To Hell With The Devil by Stryper

Grunge, Southern Rock, I will leave to others to provide recommendations.

Wagnerian Rock: Not familiar with this term. You have only two albums in your chart. By Wagnerian do you mean "written by Jim Steinman"? I am intrigued, but please clarify.

Man, for years I've been considering redoing my overall, but I've always been too lazy to do so.

Should I finally give in and do it?

My chart is completely broke now.

When I first came here I could choose what my favorite albums were. I thought I knew a lot about music and would pick all the clever choices. I knew what was what and where it would go. It was easy to make a chart as I could just pick my favorites.

Now it feels like the chart itself is deciding my favorites. I'm not picking the correct choices anymore because I have become reliant on the chart itself. I have trouble putting a lot on there because I think too hard whether I really like the album or not. 😐

Strange times here indeed.

Redoing your chart can be fun, and should probably be done regularly.

My approach (the shuffle sort) is to go year by year, and make a list of my favorites. Combine those lists into five-year lists, then decades, then overall. If you have a stack of business cards or something, write the name of each album on a card and the sorting will go faster. If you get stuck, listen to the albums your stuck on, take your time and have fun with it.

Another approach (a bubble sort) is to listen to your charts in order, from 1 on down. Listen to 1, listen to 2, decide if you like 2 better than one, if you do, switch them. Then listen to 3, decide if you like 3 better than your current 2, if you do, do you like it better than your current 1, switch as needed, and so on.

I'm totally on this bandwagon! In seriousness, I've wanted to do charts for stuff not represented and I've listened to a bit to be informed enough to do it with quality. [/url]
