Album of the Year

[Presently42]

Is there interest in having an ASR Album of the Year award? Perhaps for different genres, if there's interest? Ranked choice ballot? Jurors - or everyone can vote for anything? Discuss!

Is there interest in having an ASR Album of the Year award?

Which year?

 

[pseudoid]

Q1: Are there enough members to make it a worthwhile tally?
Q2: There is a running thread about what members are listening to, at the time of their posting a reply: Would taking some of that data (combined with the "Likes" each received) help the tally in any way to make it more robust?
Q3: Should balloting for this "ASRAOTY" be a running ballot, commencing with the January of every new year... and tallied in December of the same year?

It's a tie.

Now what?

Now what?

I demand a recount...

There could be a run-off with only yes and no. Then the same two people could vote again. Hmmmm, don't think that will solve anything.

Should have used ranked choice voting.

Should have used ranked choice voting.

Noooooooooooo!
That is more rank than skunk stink.
I will vote for Chipmunk-punk to skew the poll.

NOTE: I voted "with reservation"... for the strudel.

Unpopular statment. Objectively Taylor Swift's new album Midnights is album of the year possibly century <tries not to mouth vomit>
Here's a link to the list of it's achivements.

Taylor Swift broke 73 records with release of new album Midnights

She's the first artist to have five albums debut with over 1 million units sold, and she holds the record for biggest vinyl sales week in history.

I gave it a try.

I'll assume I am not a member of the targeted audience.

You seem to have more .... ummmmm... intestinal fortitude than I.
Would her genre be called "pop" and can that "pop" be similar to "techno" and can "techno" be said to be an offshoot of "disco"?
Valley-speak "gag me with a spoon!" would have been appropriate back in D-cubed (dark disco days) of music, as it would in the today's P-cubed (potty poopy pop) scene!
You got that?

Strudel is great... that's my pick;

I gave it a try.

Yeah not my cup of tea either... still, recently she held all top 10 places in the billboard 100 charts.

Uze Guyz are torturing me with that ... ummmm... pastry. please stop.
Is she very attractive, like a pop idol that also happens to be able sell music?
She or her band must be talented(?) but I don't want that genre to pollute my virgin ears...

 

[JSmith]

Is she very attractive

I'll let you be the judge of that...

... she certainly appears to be marketable anyway.

her band must be talented

Speaking of Taylor Swift. I think Ariana Grande has such a beautiful voice and could make some wonderful music. She had success by people managing her as a teen, and she makes formulaic pop music drivel. Such a shame. She's rich though and I am not.

Thank you???
Would you also be kind enough (now that you raped my eyes) explain to me what those 'derrieres" are doing in the background.

 

[JSmith]

explain to me what those 'derrieres" are doing in the background.

I think they're just exercising their knees? Unsure... maybe an aerobics thing.

Some people... some people like strudel exclusively, while myself, I say
There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of god's grey
Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!

Sorry guys, I couldn’t resist.
