In that case, what can we do to differentiate this project from the other?

why not place them on the list in order of their average rating

Another fine idea, but also kind of destroys the point of a cutoff for the "cream of the crop".

no because the only albums that make the list are the ones who are over an average of 7(?)

we're just sorting by which classic is more adored than the other. don't think there's an issue with separating something that's barely a 7 from something that's unanimously a 9.

Qwert's suggestion is the one I would've made.

The plan was to already do that Qwertyy. Since I only had one album so far I wasn't worried about it.

Ok. The problem I have with this is that a number of people, myself included, only listen to one maybe two new albums a day.

So if we do it this way, we're asking people to submit roughly 71% of their music listening for a week. And with things like the Album Club we essentially take over all of their music listening for every week. I think by taking so much of their music listening time, we inturn will cause higher rates of people dropping out of the classics thread. I think it's better to go in the current path then to make these threads have a longer overall Shelf life.

That said, I think this Bowie thread is long since over and time to move on. I think the majority of the votes were from past experiences and not recent listens (which is fine).
Fair enough m8, np.

@rating 6 for me is not bad but I'm still apathetic about it.
5 is not good but again, I'm apathetic.
7 is a good album with some critical flaws that bring it down.
4 is a bad album but it's got several major good qualities.
8 is a good album with a few minimal flaws that bring it down.
3 is a bad album that has a handful of good aspects.
9 is a great album that is nearly flawless, or whose great aspects really make up for its flaws.
2 is a terrible album which is almost perfect in its ineptitude.
10 is a 9 that gives me something awesome that I can't get anywhere else.
1 is a 2 that gives me something awful that I can't get anywhere else. (Brokencyde, Crazy Frog)
10 - perfect
5 - average
0 - Beatloads

Obviously anything over or under 5 is above/below average.

Do me a favor and listen to a FLAC version of Ziggy through a good set of headphones. The production is ****ing amazing.
Yeah tbh I agree with this.

I think I underrated it a bit because I've overplayed it then didn't listen to it for about four years and also cos it's frequently named as his best album when I don't think it is, it's a bit like naming Purple Rain as the best Prince album.

Anyway it deserves it's hype imo.
