Anyone notice the love of Radiohead on the home page?

Any thoughts?

(can of worms next to him, just in case)

it shows that people really love Radiohead, which is normal, because they are one of the greatest band ever. but it's blind love when it comes to TKOL.

yeah it saddened me a bit to see that. But then I have a radiohead album in my top 10 so i'm not really helping the problem. I think more people should get on the 1 album per artist type chart maybe that would help fix it. Oh and @cartoken that seems a bit convenient that you say that other than TKOL (radiohead album you didn't like) Radiohead deserves to be on the home page. (sets down another can of worms)

Only thing with the one album policy (for me) is that I would have too many current bands and albums in there and I feel that if you love a band's albums, you shouldn't restrict your choices (even when some users put all albums from one artist on their chart).

I never understood this 1 album policy. if i think that Room on Fire is one the greatest album ever, i don't see why i should replace it by another band's album which i appreciate less. my chart is not publication of the most important bands with their influential albums, but only my favorite records.

some members seem to mix up between best ever albums (which a chart should only be about) and best ever bands/artists.

I agree with cartoken. If it's a true ranking of greatest albums ever, a few bands have to have multiple albums on there.

I noticed that too and I don't think it represents the site too well (there's thousands of albums on here, not just Radiohead!). Now thinking of maybe adding a carousel so it cycles few different albums from each chart.

I don't think people who abide the "one-per-artist" chart do it to rank their favourite bands, well I didn't anway.
As previously stated somewhere on these forums, when you've heard more than 100 very good albums (95-100/100), when coming to choose the top 50, a "one-per-artist" chart gives a better overall picture of your taste.
I like my chart as it is right now, but I do feel it's missing out on some other aspects of my musical preferences (post-punk, shoegaze, electro, more recent stuff etc...).

As for the front page : meh.

I like albummaster's "album cycle" idea.

I think it only shows people's ignorance of what was before Radiohead. I do like Radiohead, well at least some albums, but to see them dominate everything like that, shows that people didn't bother to pay any serious attention to what was before. I've noticed they were already first for 2011, like, the day after TKOL was available... how much more gregarious can people be?
