Queen I made a cool graphic a few years back; merging the logos of all my favorite bands - I had to figure out which bands were my "favorites". I would say the top tier ~1-8 is pretty clear for me. After that, I used a spreadsheet and developed a complicated algorithm to figure it out - rated each band that appears in my I-tunes (digitized from my CD, DVD-A and vinyl!) in various categories - percentage of their discography that I love/like/dislike, how broad is their discography (for example, there are bands that I love that have one album. Can they compete with bands that I love that have 11 albums?) how many times I'd seen them in concert, how far would I travel to see them in concert, emotional connection to the music, etc, etc. The above list has been modified from my earlier takes - I have about 180 bands/artists represented on that list. It gets tough for me as a drummer - because there are certain drummers that I follow throughout their career - for example, Bill Bruford. Loved him in Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, UK, his band, etc. Then, there are drummers like Marco Minnemann that I follow - I loved him with Steven Wilson; but also really love The Aristocrats and McStine/Minnemann (Probably one of my top albums of 2020) - I debated how can I include a new artist that I love; they haven't really stood the test of time yet. There were some bands that I loved in 1988 that I can't really anymore, etc. I'd love to see that spreadsheet actually. Is it something that anyone could use to help figure out their own favorites? That could be a really cool game to play! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
