    Yes stark reality hasn't been mentioned in a while but it was a hot topic for quite some time in the past

    Also, how about something Project-Blowed related...as that always ruffles some feathers.
    Also, Donuts and maybe a few Madlib-releases.

    Will this be like, one release per artist? Or maybe per artist per distinguishable era? If so we'll need to set up special committees. Who will chair the Coltrane, Mayfield, Barretto, (...et al) sub-commissions?

    Raj:

    1) Google Docs has a relatively new "Forms" template that can be used to collect survey data for free (unlike Survey Monkey though the latter probably does better post-processing of data).

    2) Rather than giving people a list of LPs to choose from, it makes more sense that they nominate. The main question is how many do you really want to have to process? And how elaborate do you want to get? For example, the Village Voice's Pazz and Jop poll has "points" you split between your 10 selections, so that some albums are weighted heavier than others. However, to crunch that shit, you'd have to have someone with the right programming skills.

    The easier route would be to limit people to just 5 or so albums (equally) and then rank albums by most votes.

    3) It's tempting to split by genre but I think that gets unwieldy; perhaps it's better to just test this out with all genres BUT make it album only (and then do a separate 45s poll later).

    4) This may also be a good opportunity to collect some basic demographic info on Soulstrut users: age, sex, race/ethnicity, location, record collection size, primary genres, etc. Might as well take the opportunity, no?

    This sounds like a smart way to proceed, perhaps executed after this thread has a week or two's more life as an ongoing source for nominations (suggestions/reminders, etc).

    Odub's advice sounds good.

    I will add a list sometime in the next few days.

    Keep posting your ideas/noms!

    the rap discogs are going to be tough, will there be a set standard to limit it to one artist? or is it open for multiple titles from the same musician/group?

  • mannybolonemannybolone Los Angeles, CA 15,025 Posts
    Raj: my point was that we shouldn't have a list of albums for people to choose from. Just create a survey where people can list, say, ther top 10 albums.

    Then whoever crunches the survey results just adds up which albums show up the most frequently on the aggregated list.

  • mannybolonemannybolone Los Angeles, CA 15,025 Posts
    The question is whether we go with all genres or not. I vote yay. More interesting that way
