I think they should be a special "Club 100 " for artists that gets ten ten out of ten votes. They should get a special mention or something.

I usually don't talk about artist I already know and like. I did have an Bowie avatar for a while.

There was a lot of discussion and overall praise following his death.

Don't forget Urban Hatemonger's Bowie album review extravaganza where each member reviewed an album by Bowie. I thought that was fun.

I'd argue that 10/10 is literally impossible, and I think that people underestimate how amazing, say, 8/10 is: there is a well known fallacy wherein people vote from 7-10 instead of from 1-10. I've seen a few posters say things like 'it's solid but not amazing' and then give it a 9, a huge mismatch. That language suggests a 7 or so IMO.

My 2 cents
To be fair, 10/10 only means >= 95%. We're talking a range, not a point.
