This.

My thread is for Anything.
ANYTHING
So you basically started this thread to add 5 extra albums which is pointless.
If you were really desperate you could have just posted it in my thread nobody's going to bitch just for a longer list.
****in dumb thread.

TheCunningStunt

It's not a dumb thread though. It's about people's favourite albums from different decades and years. Just that. If I posted it in yours, I might post a top 10 albums from the 90s, and ask others to do it. Then someone might just come in and do a top 5 about their favourite guitar brands or something - which is what YOUR thread is for. This thread is just for albums. Hardly dumb is it? Just an idea for people to put their favourite albums in a top 10 list. If a mod feels it's not a relevant thread, they can feel free to close it. But it was just an idea.

James

But it's not for a specific year.
So you can be just as easily interrupted in here.

TheCunningStunt

Not really, I could post favourite albums from the 90s and then someone could post their favourite albums from the 00s. People can still comment on the lists and make lists of their own. Someone may do 1999 and then someone else might say that list is totally wrong, this is my list for 1999. It keeps it more specific to albums. I thought it'd be a nice idea and it's a challenge as well, to really think about your top 10 favourite albums for a year or decade. It just makes for a bit of fun listing, hardly dumb is it? Just another thread with lists of albums for fun.

James

But why do we need another thread just for lists? When we already have one?
If you're so desperate to find out peoples favourite 1999 albums start a thread just for that.
But another thread just for varying lists is dumb IMO.

TheCunningStunt

Because I don't want to know people's favourite albums for 1999. I'm interested in people's favourite albums for any year/decade. Your thread would deviate from an album based discussion. It was just an idea I had and I thought it'd be a nice thread for people's opinions to get aired out. Maybe I should've done it just decades so but I didn't want to limit things. Plus it's nice knowing what your favourite albums for a whole decade/year is, it's a real challenge. Especially putting them in order.

meh, forums are like shirts. you need new threads to make them complete

Bulldog

...is basically what I'm thinking.

I think I'm gonna leave this open. For starters, I'm far too tired to ponder this too much. I agree Jim's thread very similar, but I also agree that this provides a focus on albums, so it's not really a bad idea for a thread.

If another mod feels different and decides to close this, then fine, but that's my 2 cents.
