That list sucks.

Indeed it does

So, do a new one: Org Non-Prince Top 50.

namepeace said:

It's already in the link. There are 60 albums and if you take out the ten Prince records, you have an Org Non-Prince Top 50.

sextonseven said:

Now why did you have to make sense and make me look at the doggone thread again?

So I'll rephrase: Is there support for a "The Org's 50 greatest misses" list?

Prince's pop/rock fans must have made that list because the only R&B acts on the list are folks that influenced Prince such as Stevie Wonder and Sly and the Family Stone. Then there's Michael and Janet Jackson of course which are crossover acts.

namepeace said:

In your defense, if orgers were told to leave Prince out of the voting at the beginning, then maybe those Prince votes would have gone to some records not on the list and changed the final Non-Prince Top 50 results.

That was discussed in the thread--the fact that except for Prince, there was almost NO funk on the list. Funksters didn't go to the polls.

Yeah the list was obviously ridiculously biased towards Prince. I had to think of a way to handicap it, so I just went to 60 spaces.

The list is as silly as any Rolling Stone list, doesn't mean anything real, but then who cares? But it was actually a response to all the lists that everyone said were shit. I said "let's do our own, then" and it turned out pretty much the same as those other ones, but with lots of Prince

vainandy said:

true. maybe rock fans geek out more, it wouldn't surprise me!

NDRU said:

Just like the United States electorate. What we say we're lacking and what we vote for are 2 very different concepts!



(wish we had more jazz and funk on there, too, but I'm guilty for many of the top 60, too.)

Thankt the lords of kobol that I forget that dark event...

I just read the lists that everyone submitted. Those are pretty interesting, as well as seeing who took part.

NDRU said:

My list would be totally different if I had to make it today. For starters, it would have more of the albums from the final list because I bought and liked them because they were rated so high by other orgers!

sextonseven said:

all right! So we actually performed a public service, as you will soon be edumacating us all about girl groups.

I'm still waiting for the Best of 2007 list!

AlexdeParis said:

Me too!

...well I mean, I never saw the Best of 2006 list!
and that was a pretty good year IMO

sextonseven said:

Perhaps we should do this list again!

I didn't participate in the last list but I've doubled my music collection since then anyway

Yeah, we should do an update! I've got a point system for such a list, as I've run this kind of poll before over at acclaimedmusic.net. It also should allow for a flexible number of albums per submission.

ha! I was bitchin about how prince was in it...



i think we should do a top fifty (Without prince)

thekidsgirl said:

Wait, maybe it was the 2006 list. Aren't we just waiting for Moonbeam to compile the results?

sextonseven said:

Co-sign.

(I originally wrote "Same here," but then I realized that might be confusing.)
[Edited 8/5/08 6:17am]

So overrated

Moonbeam said:

I agree!

I can see Beck's Modern Guilt jumping unto the top 20. It deserves

Moonbeam said:

That would be great. I had a lot of numbers to work with, but still I knew I was not getting the most accurate cross section of the org, just the ones who happened to be on that thread.

But maybe you can include those original lists, which people can alter as they see fit?
