Oh shoot, I read and re-read the rules, but is this like the traditional album wars or is it like metal wars where a set of albums face off one at a time? I assumed it was the former or else I wouldn't have picked what many consider to be the titans of the prog world.

If it's the latter, we may want to call off this battle for the time being.

Tbh I'm not sure what the difference is, but I think this is working out okay, so we may as well stay with this format. That's what I get for grabbing someone else's idea and running with it while also carrying the proverbial pair of scissors! D'oh!

Well it boils down to whether you want to run this thread in one of two ways:

1) On and album v. album basis, where each "war" is a separate event.

2) On a pool basis, where each "war" involves several battles between a group of albums. (see the current format of metal wars)

Yeah, I reckon option 1 is the best to go for, though I am interested, down the line, in doing a "face-off" style, sudden death or whatever between what emerge as the best overall albums.

Also, a league table would be something I'd try to set up, if this gets popular enough.
