After a conversation in our ongoing Best Songwriter tournament in which many expressed shock that Joni Mitchell, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, etc weren't in the Top 40 best ranked artists on the site, I began wondering what would happen if, rather than choosing Best Ever Artists based on number of albums and chart position, how it would look if we did a simple survey.

Process would go same way our albums are ranked. #1 artist gets 100 points, #2 gets 99, and so on down to your #100 getting 1 point (so also the exact same method Hayden is using in the Lounge for the Best Film surveys)

I'm thinking any recording artist would be allowed (or in other words any artist included on the site. Beethoven and Chopin would therefore be ineligible, but any pianist or orchestra who records their works would).

Also, much like the site, any variantions/aliases would be combined (Prince, Prince and the Revolution, New Power Generation, and Prince & the New Power Generation would all be counted as one artist), whereas a solo artist with a distinct career from a band would not be combined (The Beatles and John Lennon would be counted as different artists)

Anybody be interested in trying this out?

Personally, I find this a bizarre scoring system when working with such a small sample size of lists. It means that an artist who appears at #1 on just one list (but doesn't even appear on anybody else's) would score higher than an artist who appears at #100 on ninety-nine different lists, despite the latter being clearly more popular. I'd always be tempted in a situation such as this, say, to award a #1 artist 132 points, and a #100 artist 33 points - they're still 99 points apart, but this time that #100 artist would only have to appear on four different lists to have more points than the rogue #1 choice who only one user has chosen.

Then again, if you've already begun tallying then ignore this. I should've mentioned it earlier. Just a thought.

That idea has honestly never occurred to me before, but it's kinda brilliant.

I've already got the list tallied, but I think after I've posted the results I'm going to give this a try and see how it looks.

I tally the film lists in the same manner BozoTyrannus is doing this one, but I agree that's an interesting suggestion. There's always been this (well, a 'value issue' I suppose) I've been trying to properly sort out, and that could be an excellent way to do it.

Anyway, digging the list so far. Surprised with MBV and Belle & Seb placing so low, but otherwise it's looking great.
