albums of the century
Okay, since I started the thread, I'll wrap it up. (Or warp it
up...whatever...)
I tallied up all the responses to the album of the century/decade
question - yeah I had some free time - and here's some results for anyone
interested. I broke the responses down into two categories, albums and
artists. I gave each album one itty-bitty point for each time it was
mentioned on a list, even if it was mentioned as an 'honorable mention'
or some other sort of also-ran. I did the same for artists, giving them
one point for each mention. However, with the artists, I only allowed
for one point per post. I did this because there were a couple of
ocassoins where a person listed like six albums from one artist. Anyway,
the winner in each category should be no surprise, but others were
surprising to me.
ALBUMS:
3 mentions:
Charity of Night - Bruce Cockburn
Patience - Over the Rhine
4 mentions:
OK Computer - Radiohead
6 mentions:
Good Dog Bad Dog - Over the Rhine
I was tickled pink to see Cockburn. All the Radiohead mentions prompted
me to dig out my little appreciated copy of 'OK Computer' and give it
another spin. Result - it's still little appreciated. Sorry, I just
don' get it. I guess this settles the GDBD vs. Eve dispute, at least for
this list. Eve only got one mention.
ARTISTS:
3 mentions: Beatles, King's X, Pedro the Lion, and Seventy-Sevens
4 mentions: Innocence Mission (yippee!)
5 mentions: Violent Burning
6 mentions: Bruce Cocburn (yippee!) and Radiohead
7 mentions: U2 and Vigilantes of Love
12 mentions: Over the Rhine
Hey, that was fun. Next question...
