Once again I will humbly point out that it’s not all subjective — there are certain elements of really great or really awful music that I believe can be commented on objectively :)No problem with any music thread tbh, I just tend to drop in and out of them though.
I haven’t critiqued any albums in BH’s thread. It’s all subjective anyway and people like what they like. Even Morrissey.

Its nothing like your example for goodness sake. And if people want to review their favourite album for others to comment why would they not put effort into it? Why not do it all by DM and have done? I return to the point I made. Its an open forum and should be treated as such.I’ll bet you nod in agreement when all the footy pundits laugh and say we’ll need a slide rule to work out the goal difference!
To be fair, it did sound a bit wordy when I read it back.
But it’s a bit like saying that I don’t see why I should have to play Burnley in the Premier League; all I want is to play PSG and Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The last thing I want to do is form a clique. I just wanted people to put a bit of effort scoring and reviewing before they get to nominate. I’m sensing a bit of resentment among the population.
Anyway, I have said enough and certainly don't want to fall out. You asked for comments and those are mine.

Where’s the list of the regular contributors to the other thread mate? - I assume you’re gonna name them?It's one of two under consideration, but I'm going to be humble and not be first.

Of course, and I'm grateful for the input, honestly. We won't fall out, don't worry.Its nothing like your example for goodness sake.

I am interested in what people think with a view to making this the best experience possible and so far I'm getting the sense that people would rather it just be an open thread where people throw their hat in the ring and we build a list of nominators.
Unless there are people who have views to the contrary?
Yes - I spent a bit of time trawling the Top 1100 thread. I was going to put the list on here but I'm holding off for a little while because based on the feedback so far, I might change the proposed system anyway.Where’s the list of the regular contributors to the other thread mate? - I assume you’re gonna name them?
The whole point of setting the initial sub-title to "Week 0" was because I wanted to spend a bit of time discussing ideas before we kick off with the first vote.

No. If it's an album you want to nominate, you can. We probably don't want comedy albums though (and by that I mean stuff like "Hancock's Half Hour"). So let's just say it can be any album of music.Any restrictions on music genres?

I await the call.....Just pick people with good taste to nominate the albums: they need to be worth listening to!

If we go "all inclusive", I might just pick you to start the ball rolling with The Smiths.I await the call.....
After all, with any new system, there are bound to be teething problems and we need a guinea pig. If it all goes horribly wrong on the trial run, it might as well be Morrissey and co.

Not sure if I'm understanding this, but if I'm reading it correctly, it might be better for you to do it in p.m's or a whatsapp group.
