it is interesting that the first couple of picks are top and as the choices are made they seem to get lower and lower. Its almost as if folk are re calibrating what a good and what a bad score are. We should have sorted it out by June 2022. It was a fine pick btw.I'm proud to be bottom !! :)
Cheers everyone for listening to Red, I love it but I realize its not everyones taste. and probably a bad pick from me.
Nest time I will select something that will probably appeal to more posters.
A 1 but that is reserved for special candidates like Hucknell, Morrissey or should Piers Morgan digress into the music industry...........Can I just check, what's the lowest score that can be given? Is it 1 or 0?
;)
I awarded a 1 to one of the choices, and it wasn't and of them. If 10's are allowed, so are 1's ;-)A 1 but that is reserved for special candidates like Hucknell, Morrissey or should Piers Morgan digress into the music industry...........
Everything should be rated between 1 and 10.Can I just check, what's the lowest score that can be given? Is it 1 or 0?

It's interesting really, I only have a couple of 10s in my own collection and that probably changes over time too as I can get bored with some acts then rediscover them plus I'm a tough scorer.I awarded a 1 to one of the choices, and it wasn't and of them. If 10's are allowed, so are 1's ;-)

It depends if you are scoring or ranking the albums. You can award a 1 but that doesn't mean you consider it to have no musical merit, you're just assigning it your own position in your own mind as to where it fits according to your taste. I think scoring based on technical aspects gets too complicated.I find when you truly listen to an Album over and over (if you have the time) and then read up about the band and history etc then its hard to get below 4 , you appreciate the Music the more you give it a chance - my experience anyway.
Wow that's tough on your own favourite music!It's interesting really, I only have a couple of 10s in my own collection and that probably changes over time too as I can get bored with some acts then rediscover them plus I'm a tough scorer.
You definitely need to have thick skin in these threads, don't you?No apologies needed.
I said it was marmite and everyone’s taste is personal.
To me some of the albums previously posted were music to bore you to death but that’s ok.
If you get the chance try to find Loudon Wainwright’s on line tribute concert to George Gerdes who died recently. It’s available free on Vimeo and it’s called The Great Unknown.You definitely need to have thick skin in these threads, don't you?
A lot of the "Manchester" scene was just watered down versions of the real thing, which was the Mondays, really. It was basically the Manchester indie scene but with MDMA. The dance scene in Manchester had been going for years...Acid house had already been popular since the mid 80s.Nice write up. I love things with a lot of strings so I'm excited for this one.
Same here in terms of age but not the important bit, I'm afraid.
The Charlatans were OK, but does that count as Madchester?
I was in the right place at the right time for Madchester, but I didn't get what all the fuss was about to be honest. Some of the music was a bit catchy but none of them could sing. The press were trying their best to make out that this danceable rock music was some new thing but INXS had been doing this for years with one of the world's best singers.
Meanwhile I was listening to lots of American and Antipodean stuff. Still, I'm a contrary bastard at the best of times so maybe it's just me.
I think you'll find having gigged their way through the Australian pub rock scene for nearly a decade before becoming a household name, INXS more than paid their dues! If you don't like their music, I respect that, but to call them manufactured is a bit wide of the mark, sir!Haha...INXS? Nah...totally different. Madchester was the working class kids getting on one. INXS were just a manufactured teeny-pop act.
That's nowt! S Club 7 gigged their way through the Argentinian pub rock scene for nearly a decade before coming a household name too. ;)I think you'll find having gigged their way through the Australian pub rock scene for nearly a decade before becoming a household name, INXS more than paid their dues!

Don't worry my pick is going to get a lot of low scores as well.No apologies needed.
