Yeah, I meant for Classic Rock to be for... Classic Rock thread bands. The Who, The Eagles, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Kansas, and so on.

Traditional is a bad word for it, though, you're right - I just didn't want to say "Mainstream Rock" but that'll be less ambiguous.

So are we ever gonna unsticky the top albums results thread? After all it is May. :lol:

[QUOTE=Stevie II;16309089]:)

aye, i'd like to work on death metal/black metal - we could ask the bm thread, the dm thread etc to list their top 10 albums and then somehow make a top 10 list from that. i'd make one restriction of just one album per band, to give variety to the lists.[/QUOTE]

Cool, looks like its coming together. Seeing the recent discussion in this thread.

EDIT:
I agree with Angmar, unsticky the top album thread.

I've been saying that for months! :lol:

This sounds great :). I didn't expect so many genres, but there's no harm in doing more genres. So these are the genres I'd do:

Black Metal
Death Metal
Traditional/Heavy/Classical metal
Grind
Thrash Metal
Doom Metal
Power Metal
Metalcore
Progressive Metal
Folk/Viking Metal
Traditional Rock
Classic Rock
Hard rock
Grunge

Perhaps?

What I think we should do is you guys perhaps take a genre or two each, and that'd be your responsibility to do. What I'd do is within the respective threads open up for a week any nominations, max 10 per user then collect them together and open up for a week of voting, where people select the 10 from the list they believe is essential. Or, if no thread exists create one for the genre for nominations/voting. I wouldn't have any ranking to the votes as I think it'd be a tedious task to think whether one album is more essential than another - they're both essential!...

As regards to which band belongs to which genre, I don't think it's too important if one band goes across two lists, but what's important should perhaps be where they're most influential. For example, Opeth is more important in progressive metal than in death metal. Or perhaps we could take the band as the genre on metal archives for metal and idk for other genres....

So perhaps a week of voting and then it should be all done, i.e. everything could be done within 2 weeks. Maybe if nobody volunteers for a genre listed then it won't happen, or it could be done at another time and added to the thread.

If you guys agree then we could start nominating tomorrow for a week, ending Wed 14th and then from thurs 15th a week of voting.

Any volunteers then to handle genres? Personally I'd be happy to handle death and black metal, my speciality.

Thanks for helping !...

I'll take on doom metal.

Power and traditional metal


Also, I think it should be kept to one album per band, so the traditional metal list isn't half taken up by Iron Maiden, etc.

yeah i think that's important - it gives variety to it. so I'd accept nominations and votes for multiple albums but the final list wouldn't include more than 1 from any artist.

I can do Jam.

I can do metalcore.

Let's move all the Definitive Albums discussion to the appropriate thread, lads. Glad to see the forum getting involved in something again, though. 'Twas a good idea of Stevie's, to be sure.

naughty naughty

What's the big deal? Those are fine threads.

i know we don't have too many best of threads anymore but they're boring and we dont want them starting up again

Better than not having anything going on at all, like the last few days.

IMO

i suppose

just dont want loads of them popping up like a year or two ago but the way this forum has gone recently thats not likely to happen

That's what happens in forums.

Newbs come and post the same threads everyone has already seen. Just appreciate that we are getting new members.
