As an aside, live albums should not be eligible, IMO.

 

Why? This was a contest for greatest album of all time, not greatest studio album of all time. Live At Leeds is just as great as some of these, and better than a few more.

 

Then why not include greatest hits compilations?

 

Aren’t most live albums a greatest hits of sorts?

 

People could've put greatest hits compilations, no one did. I agree, if we're going to accept live and studio albums, compilations should also be allowed. I think all three are fundamentally different types of album, but they're all albums just the same.

 

Like I said, just my opinion that live albums and greatest hits shouldn’t be part of this, unless we’re talking something like Nugent’s Intensities in 10 Cities. Not my call though. But since only one live album even got suggested, and no greatest hits did, is at least some indicia most people think of studio albums of new material when asked about the greatest album of all time.

 

Yeah, I mean, I totally see where you're coming from. I just didn't want people to feel limited at all.

Compilation albums should never be included in polls. Live albums are different because they are another version of a song, maybe a different energy, interpretation, even a different 'event'. And a live show adds a cohesion to a (live) album (even if there is studio work involved). There are plenty of bands who haven't put out a complete album worth a damn, but can scrape up enough good songs to have a noteworthy compilation. Doesn't count. #lost art of the album :codger:

I love that every album has at least three votes!

 

New thread tomorrow evening.

I love that The Doors and Springsteen have the fewest votes.

 

I hate that they made it this far.

What?? :o The Doors debut is epic. I'm not a huge fan, but I even have it. Just listen to it once - not necessarily for Morrison, but for the rest of the band. They had no bass player - it's Ray Manzarek (RIP :rose:) on keyboard.

Entre, A Night at the Opera and Queen II just aren't going to get the votes to move on. You can start the next round. :)

 

No prob! He never said how many will move on per section. The top eight per section would secure Night at the Opera’s spot in the next round. The top ten per section would ensure that AND Queen II move on! :P

AFTK has more votes than Revolver & Who's Next. Might as well just cancel the whole thing! :LOL:

 

 

 

Not to call the science of this poll into question, but... putting Sgt Peppers against Revolver in the same group, as well as Who's Next and Quadrophenia? They've garnered 21 and 20 votes, respectively combined.

Just to repeat myself again, I didn't make the groups. Random list generator. Don't blame the messenger.

Lol, I was waiting for today because I had a class trip today and very little homework following the trip. New thread should be up soonish.
