I think that 100 is too small for a greatest albums of all time chart. It would be cool if when you reached a certain level (level 7, 8, or 9) that you could create a chart that is 200 or 250 in length. It could be limited to just one chart of that size or more. I think one would suffice but either way. I really think this would be cool and would give more incentive to reach the highest levels.

No.

[Xavygravy]

I say yes.

The only reason not to is the influx of new albums on the site, but this is controlled by restricting to higher levels.

More albums is not a bad thing. I think having bigger charts would make it more likely that someone would put a smaller name in their chart. This way we wouldn't have the Beatles, Radiohead, Bob Dylan overload as much. Those bands would still be at the top but it would make the site a little more diverse if there were more unknown bands in peoples charts. Also I just can't make a really good Best albums of all time list with just 100 albums. I don't see a negative side to this idea.

No

This has been asked for before. Personally, I'm against the idea. If people can't fit all their choices into 100 entries, then there's also decade charts, and soon to be year charts, to fit the stragglers into.

(100 albums) + (7 decades x 100 albums) + (70 years x 50 albums) = 4,300 albums.

I am opposed to larger charts but think albummaster's suggestion of the ability to list 4300 albums is a bit overstated. Surely one would expect a large redundancy among the charts by the same member. Wouldn't all 100 from their overall chart and all the albums from their decade charts be expected to show up in yearly charts? Of course I am presuming we have rational members.

Alright... can't say I didn't try. If year charts are going to be added why not just make one big chart available to each user as well? I don't see what it would hurt? I think it would be really cool to make a greatest album chart that can compete with the likes of Rolling Stone and what not. Anyways... just an idea I see all pros and no cons. I will be happy either way though.

[RFNAPLES]

I kind of agree with you--if yearly charts of 50 are allowed why not allow one large overall chart to show all of them. But then I don't see the need for yearly charts, since one can already see the albums by year by drilling in the decade charts. Hopefully we won't need to change servers again to handle the load.

I think having a limit on 100 for the overall chart focuses in on "the best" rather than just a collection of great albums. The top 100 just seems to have a sort of prestige behind it.
