There are no two people here that 100% think alike when it comes to them. That is what makes TRF so interesting.

So I have noticed. So many disparities in ages too which seems to have much to do with it as well. No matter how much I enjoyed Presto, my top 5 or 6 will never change so I can certainly understand folks and their tastes and stubbornness....

Let's see... 19 full length studio albums. There are 19! combinations, which is 121,645,100,408,832,000. That means that the probability of at least one match is 1-(121,645,100,408,831,999/121,645,100,408,832,000)^(number of people here*(number of people here-1)/2). This would be minuscule even if we had 2000 members post in this thread, so it's not really a surprise. Even weighting the albums based on average opinion, there is practically no chance that, with the number of people who have posted in this thread, any two would agree 100%.

Typically when the debut or Caress Of Steel is on or very near the bottom I don't even bother looking further up the list......

Poor Caress of Steel.

I am assuming he posted that on purpose for my benefit as response to my previous post.... :)

Poor Caress of Steel.

 

How anyone can rank RTB above CoS is an idiot.

 

I know from experience as I used to do just that!
